Open a catalog file through a Fileshare server[8]

Prior to opening, you must have configured connection details to a Fileshare server; see To configure a Fileshare server for an enterprise server.

In Server Explorer, right-click the JES-enabled enterprise server, and select Show Catalog.
The Catalog:<ES-name> tab is displayed.
Double-click the catalog item to view.
The <catalog-item> tab is displayed.
If the Physical File field indicates a full path on disk, substitute the path with the name of the required Fileshare server (for example: C:\path\to\dat-file becomes $$FSserver\dat-file), and then click Save changes.
Note: The Fileshare server must be running in the same location as the physical cataloged file.
Click (Open catalog files...).
The Enter Fileshare Details dialog box is displayed.
In the Fileshare name field, enter the name of the Fileshare server, and then click OK.
The Open Data File dialog box, showing the Fileshare tab, is displayed.
Open, edit/view, and save the file accordingly.
When opening the file, if a new connection is required in the Data Explorer, it is created automatically. This connection will be used for subsequent edits/views, unless you delete it.
