Adding a connection broker for one session

Documentum Administrator obtains connection information from the connection broker referenced in the dfc.properties file of the Documentum Administrator installation. You cannot modify the dfc.properties file using Documentum Administrator. If you have system administrator or superuser privileges, you can add connection brokers for an active session by storing connection broker information in a cookie. However, the repositories of that connection broker can only be accessed during the current session.

To add a connection broker for a session:

  1. Connect to Documentum Administrator.

  2. Click Add Repository to access the Add a Repository page.

  3. Select a repository and then click the more repositories link to access the Connection Brokers page.

  4. To add a connection broker, type its name in the Enter New Connection Broker text box and then click Add.

    If the connection broker uses a port other than 1489, use the follow format:

    connection_broker_name:port_number
    For example:
    mozart:1756
