Pergamon HUB is the central, common database repository. While it is used to store support requests in order to build a knowledge base, it is also used as a central store of catalogue items which can be searched by the Item Manager in order to aid in the building of the local catalogue.
In this regard, it is possible to use the HUB in three ways:
In order to use the HUB, one or two settings must be modified in the Lookup Manager. Login, go to the Lookup Manager, and find the [System HUB] group towards the bottom of the left-hand listing.
If you have been provided with the name of the central HUB database (only valid from v1.1 onwards), select the [HUB Database: Cloud Based] value and enter this database name in the [Value 1] field. If you want Pergamon to include this database in its HUB searches, make sure that the [Search?] checkbox is ticked. Save your changes by selecting [Update].
If you have been provided with a local HUB file, (valid from v1.0.96 onwards), select the [HUB Database: Locald] value and enter this database name in the [Value 1] field. If you want Pergamon to include this database in its HUB searches, make sure that the [Search?] checkbox is ticked. Save your changes by selecting [Update].
Note that if you have checked the [Search?] box for both the Cloud Based and local HUB databases, the Cloud Based database will be search first then followed by the local database file.
