It may take a couple of minutes to show "In Progress" status. You may refresh the page if it does not appear after 5-15 minutes. Suppose there are issues with the configuration, such as wrong system connection parameters or an invalid account, you will see the status as "Ready". This indicates that the system is not running. For further troubleshooting, click on the "Log" icon under the Tools column.

9.) The MaxDB will show up in the Service grid within 5-15 minutes if the system is discovered correctly.
