The Data Vault Manager is a Chromeleon tool that helps you with the following tasks:

  • Creating a new data vault (Create a standard data vault):
    • To have data vaults with and without data audit trails or versioning.
    • To separate data at a high level.
    • TIP

      You can separate data in various folders inside the same data vault, and you can specify different access rights/privileges for different folders.

    • To save space you want to move (archive) some data from your “live” data vault.
  • NOTE

    The database part of a standard data vault has a 10 GB size limit. The database holds sample information, the methods, and the audit trails, but not the raw data.

  • TIP

    Do not create too many data vaults. Running queries (searching for data) is more efficient if the data is not scattered across many different data vaults, because queries can only work in one data vault at a time.

  • Mounting or dismounting a Chromeleon 6 datasource (Mount Chromeleon 6 datasources): You may want to mount Chromeleon 6 datasources (read-only) that exist locally or on the network.
  • Mounting or dismounting a Chromeleon 7 data vault: The Discovery Service automatically finds Chromeleon 7 data vaults in the domain. Manual dismounting or mounting is only necessary for advanced administrative tasks like moving or renaming a data vault. These are not covered in this document.
