Repository-Connection (MIG)

Window to configure the configuration of a content repository

 

It's strongly recommended to test the connections by clicking on the "Test HTTP Connection"-button below the source parameter definition and the target parameter definition.

During the connection test, a serverInfo-request is being sent to the storage system.

In case there has been a problem establishing the connection you'll receive a message similar to the one below, otherwise you'll receive a message that the connection has been established succesfully.
