Adding New Databases

You need to include a database for each system in your organization that you are referencing. These are files that were extracted from each system and renamed as *.UDB files.

To add a new database

1. Click Add New in the User Databases section of the UUID Tool.

   The User Database window opens.

2. Click Browse next to the UDB/CFG File Name text field and from the Open dialog box select the database file that you want to include.

   Note: If you later plan to run the Merge Process, you need to select a CA GovernanceMinder configuration file (.cfg file) originating from the referenced systems. Configuration files automatically direct the tool to their User Database (.udb file). Otherwise, you can select the User Database (.udb file) directly.

3. Click Open and the selected file name is displayed in the UDB/CFG File Name text field.
4. Click Save and provide a name for an XML file in the Save As dialog box. The XML file is the UUID Mapping file and stores all the mapping parameters associated with the database.
5. Repeat this procedure to add a reference for each User Database that was extracted from the organization.
6. Select the Database that contains the HR data and click Set Master. This sets the selected database as the Master database.

   The database that you select as the Master database must contain an explicit reference to each of your personnel by name. For this reason it is usually the database that contains the HR data.
