Load database dialog

Load database dialogs (Figure 3.1) helps a user to configure connection of BioUML workbench with BioUML server for access to remote databases. Setup wizard, step Load databases provides the same user interface.

From a user view point remote databases installed on the server side look similarly with databases installed locally, so we may call this process as installation or loading of remote databases.

1.	Select from menu Database > Load database item. Load database dialog will be opened (Figure 3.2).

2.	Specify Server address and Server port for connection with BioUML server or you can use default BioUML server.

3.	Click Find databases button. All databases installed on the specified BioUML server will be shown in table Available databases . The table columns are:

�	Server database name - name of the database on BioUML server

�	Client database name - name of the database how it will be shown in the repository tree. By default database name on the client side is the same as on the server side, however a user can change it. For example user can add version of the database or server name as the suffix.

�	Availability - describes the availability of the database:

o	public - database is publicly available for reading and writing;

o	public, read only - database is publicly available for reading only;

o	public read, protected write - database is publicly available for reading, for writing user should log in only;

o	protected - user should log in to read/write information from the database;

o	protected, read only - user should log in to get access to the database, read only

o	select the database in the table by clicking on corresponding raw;

o	information about the database will be shown in Messages pane (Figure 3.3).

5.	Select in Install column databases to be installed by clicking on corresponding check box.

6.	Press Install button. Information about installation process will be shown in Messages pane.

7.	Press Close button to close the dialog after successful installation of remote databases.

1.	The database can be installed only once. If you will select the same database to be installed again the it will be skipped and corresponding message will be shown in Messages pane, for example: WARN : Database with the same name already exists ('ChEBI')

2.	Some databases (complex databases) include information from other databases. During the installation BioUML workbench automatically checks such dependencies and suggests to install required databases (Figure 3.4). Press Ok button to install required databases too.

3.	Some databases may require additional plug-ins that are not included into default distributive of BioUML workbench. Public version of BioUML workbench do not include plug-ins for following databases:
