Adding an ActiveTransfer Server Instance to My webMethods
My webMethods Server, or a cluster of My webMethods Server instances, can connect to one or more instances of ActiveTransfer Server. Use this procedure to do the following:
*If the Integration Server that hosts ActiveTransfer Server is running on a machine other than “localhost” on port 5555, change the default host name or port of the Integration Server instance definition added to My webMethods.
*Add another ActiveTransfer Server instance to My webMethods, if necessary.
After you complete this procedure, a My webMethods user with access to multiple ActiveTransfer Server instances can select this ActiveTransfer Server instance on ActiveTransfer administration and monitoring pages.
Note:
For every user who logs on to My webMethods Server, My webMethods Server creates a session that expires only after the user logs off. Changes to ActiveTransfer instance configurations are not applied until the user logs off and the session ends.
