To add a data source:

  • Click the Add... button to open the Add Data Source window.

...

  • Choose the server type (Quickload, DAS, or DAS2).The URL name should start with protocol strings "file:/", "http://", or "https://".
  • If this is a local QuickLoad server, you can use the Choose local folder button to select a folder on your local file system.
  • A URL for a local directory on a Windows machine might look something like this: "file:/C:/Users/Username/Documents and Settings/QuickLoad/"
  • If the data source is not on your local computer, enter its URL. Otherwise, use the Choose local folder button to select it.  Choose the folder containing a the "contents.txt" file. 

  • Click the Submit button.
  • If the server is private and requires authentication, IGB will ask you to enter a user name and password.

To edit the name or URL associated with a data source, select the source you want to edit and click Edit... A new window will open identical to the Add... window. Use it to enter new values. (You will not be able to edit any of the default IGB data sources.)

If you are developing a new data source for IGB, you may need to force IGB to re-read its configuration files. Click the Refresh button to the left of a data source to force IGB to re-read the data source server's configuration files.The Refresh button will not load any new files added to the data source. In this case remove the server from the list of Data Sources and

add it again. Note: When troubleshooting a new Quickload data source, sometimes it's helpful to remove it and then re-add it. If you have trouble getting new files to be noticed by IGB, try that.
