Registering a farm repository

When you start the program, or select File > Log on As, the Connect to Infor EPM Designer dialog box opens. Here you administer database registrations and connect to a repository of the farm.

  1. If you select a Designer database for which no farm repository has been registered, you are prompted to specify the repository.
  2. Click Yes.
  3. If you have no connections specified, click ADD CONNECTION.
    1. Select the farm profile to add.
    2. If the profile requires a password, specify the password and click OK.
  4. Select the connection and click CONNECT.
  5. Specify the user name and password of the administrator to log on to the Designer database.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Select the farm repository from the Choose a repository list and click Connect.
  8. Select the authentication system and specify the log-on information of the administrator for the repository database. The administrator must have Administer Repository permission on the farm level and Administer Permissions on the application level.
  9. Click OK.
  10. Select the project.
    If you are configuring Budgeting & Planning, you must select DEPM.
    Caution: 
    Do not select DEPMAPPS for Budgeting & Planning as this project is for Business Modeling-based applications. DEPM is the project that belongs to the OLAP database that you want to create from this Designer database.
  11. Select the check box Synchronize users and roles while logging on to start synchronization of users and roles from Repository to Designer when you log on to the Designer.
  12. Specify a password to delete the connection information if the selected repository is no longer available.
  13. Click Next.
  14. To confirm the selected synchronization option, click Yes.
  15. Review the selected settings and click Finish.
  16. Select the Designer database to work with the Database list.
  17. Select the authentication system from the Authentication list.
  18. Specify the user name and password. The user must have Administer Repository permission on the farm level and Administer Permissions on the application level.
  19. Click OK.
    The farm repository information is stored within the Designer database. If you register a Designer database in another Designer installation, the farm repository registration is the same for both clients.

    You can edit the farm repository in File > Settings > Repository Connection.
