Web Start dashboards maintain connections with the data servers named in their attachments and commands.

In this diagram, the dotted line indicates the connection to the default data server, which is specified in the Startup and Server section of the Deployment Configuration Editor. The default must be running only if some attachments or commands don't specify a named data server.

The logical data server names specified in the Builder's Application Options dialog are recorded in the file OPTIONS.ini, which is used by the Deployment Wizard to define deployment logical names. You can override these logical name definitions with the --namedServer name:host:port option to the data server executables. Below is an example. This is a sequence of command line options which should appear on a single line as part of the command to start the executable:

Here Server1, Server2 and Server3 are the server logical names.
