4. From the Connection tab, you specify the member's connection type:
Currently, a fulltime connection to the union
catalog (i.e., a LAN or a WAN) is the only
supported connection type.
5. To save your settings, click Save. A message appears, asking if you want to
reload the data from the member. If you've just added the member, click Yes.
Note:
If you're editing a member's connection, we recommend reloading the
data if you changed the participation level or filters.
Once the DX member's information has loaded, you can view (but not edit) their
site and cataloging information. From the Members dialog (see page 102), select
the DX member, and click View. Any changes the member makes to this
information will be reflected at the union catalog. For information on the site and
cataloging information, see page 103.
To obtain a brief summary of the DX information, generate a System Information
Report at the union. For the union catalog, it lists the number of DX records in the
transfer queue, the database ID, the retry time, and the IP address of the union
catalog's Data Exchange Server. In the Member Information section are the full
site name, MOC, member ID, the member's Data Exchange Server IP address,
participation levels, and filters of each DX member. The information for each
non-DX member is limited to the full site name, MOC, and member ID. For more
information about this report, see page 581.
If you're building your union catalog, repeat these steps (starting with
Connecting the Data Exchange servers" on page 107) for each DX member in
your union catalog. Once all your members have been added to the union
catalog, see What's next?" on page 112.
