Add an Existing Data Source

To add an existing data source, the working directory must be present as a subdirectory of the service's working directory. The working directory will need to be moved or copied to a subdirectory of the service's working directory to successfully add an existing data source.

When adding an existing data source, the Administrative Console issues an RPC to get the list of subdirectories in the service's working directory that meet the requirements for being working directories for a data source. Data sources that are already included in the service's configuration file will be removed from the list.

Add an Existing Data Source

1. From the Data Sources page select the Add button.

   From the Add button dropdown select Existing

2. On the Add Existing Data Source page, use the Select a data source field to select the desired data source form the dropdown options.

   Note

   To quickly find a data source, type the first letter of the desired data source into the Select a data source field.

3. Select the Save button at the bottom right of the page to add an existing data source.
