Before you begin
Before you create a catalog source, ensure that you have the information required to connect to the source system.
Perform the following tasks:
- •Install the Secure Agent on a Windows machine.
- •Save DM1 files in one of the following ways:
- - On the Microsoft Windows machine where the Secure Agent is installed.
- - On any Microsoft Windows machine, and share the folder over the network through File Explorer.
- •Verify permissions to access the IDERA ER/Studio Data Architect source system.
Note: You don't need to create a connection object in Administrator. You provide connection information when you configure the catalog source.
