The steps that are described in this topic are required to access the Repository Registration Service and to receive the list of repositories:

Creating a service configuration source

These steps must be performed on each computer where the repository registrations are accessed by Infor BI applications. The registration of a Repository Registration Service must be stored locally because the local Infor BI applications use the defined URL to contact the service.

When you create a service configuration source on the system, Repository Administration lists all the repository registrations provided by the service under the selected Source node. If the service is registered in read-only mode, you cannot add or remove repository registrations on service level nor edit their properties. If the service is registered in administrative mode, all these operations are enabled for the specified user.
