Generating an MDP BE system by system configuration

Use this procedure to generate new and update multiple MDP BE System configuration to make them searchable in MDP client.

Before you start, you must complete these tasks:

  • Install the source files on M3 BE installation to be able to generate an MDP BE System.

    For more information, see the M3 BE LifeCycle Manager User Guide.

  • Start the selected BE Environment before generating the metadata index files.
  • Connect the selected BE Environment to M3 Workplace to be able to generate metadata from View Definition Files and Languages.
  1. Log on to LifeCycle Manager as administrator.
  2. On Applications tab, select and expand the view of Space > Grid Applicationversion where MDP is installed.
  3. Select MDP > MDP BE System > Generate MDP BE System (System configuration).
  4. On Generate MDP BE System (System Configuration) window, specify this information:
    BE installation
    Select an M3 BE installation available on LifeCycle Manager. The available BE installations format is M3BEname(Description)-Service Name (IP Address).

    Note: Aside from the Base, the naming pattern for the generated MDP BE System for System Configuration is BE_Server_IP_Grid_Router_Http_Port_BE_System_Configuration. For example: 172.30.80.93_16666_MARCONF
