  2. Start the SDM GUI, using the appropriate procedure:

  3. Select the database type.

  4. Specify the database instance name used during the Sentinel database installation.

  5. Specify the database host (hostname or IP address).

    If you select to save your connection settings, the settings are saved to the local sdm.connect file. By default the sdm.connect file is located in <install_directory>/bin. Next time you start the GUI, the connection settings are repopulated from the sdm.connect file. This file can be used when you run the SDM from the command line.

  8. Click Connect. The SDM is now ready for use.
