Create a repository

Tutorial: Open a repository

Select File in the main menu. Then select Open Repository... option. This will show the open repository wizard.

The first wizard page is the connection one. To gain repository access, the first step is connecting to a jLibrary server. The first field in the wizard is the jLibrary server location. If you don't know what is a local server yet, or a remote server, or you don't know how to create new users or change a server profile, you should take a look to the first tutorial Creating a repository. before to continue.

The second field is the repository name. You must know the name of the repository that you want to connect to, that haves sense, isn't it? Anyways, this is a change since jLibrary 1.0 beta4 (it is related with JSR-170 compatibility). The name of the repository is the name that you used to create a repository, or the name that you used when importing a repository. If you are an enterprise user, and you haven't created a repository, probably you should contact with your jLibrary admin service and ask them for the repository name.

The next fields on the wizard are the username and password ones. Enter there your connection data. If you are using your own server, and you haven't created an user yet, then probably you should use the default administrator user with admin/changeme as username/password.

Finally there are some checkboxes. The first one allows you to tag the repository to be opened automatically each time at jLibrary startup. This is very useful if you always work with the same repositories. I talk about the second one later.

If all goes fine, after pressing Finish button, you should have the repository opened on the repositories view:

Congratulations ! You have opened your first repository with jLibrary :)

Advanced: But, wait a moment, previously I talked about the last checkbox. If you check that checkbox, you'll be able to open any repository in JSR-170 mode. That would allow you to debug your repository, and see its internal structure. You have be careful as this is an experrimental feature. Also, if you want to user this feature, you must enter "username"/ "password" as your credentials. You can see an screenshot here:
