   1. In the Data Source time zone list, click the time zone of the database that the external data source system is referencing.

      The default time zone is the time zone of your computer. You can select the (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time option if the external data source system being referenced uses UTC for its time fields.

      You can click the Automatically adjust time for Daylight Savings check box if the time zone that you select is affected by daylight saving time (DST). For more information, see Time Zone for a Data Source.

   2. In the PI System Asset Framework Server Name box, type the name of the PI System Asset Framework Server.

   3. In the PI System Asset Framework Database Name box, type the name of the PI System Asset Framework database that you want to connect to.

3. Click Connect. If the connection succeeds, the Getting schema notification message appears. It can take few minutes to retrieve the schema from the data source. For more information about retrieving the schema, see Retrieve the schema.

4. Click Done and then click Save.
