Adding an ActiveTransfer Server Instance to My webMethods

B2B Integration 10.5 | Administering and Monitoring B2B Transactions | Managing File Transfers with ActiveTransfer | Configuring webMethods ActiveTransfer | 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.

To add an ActiveTransfer Server instance to My webMethods

1. In My webMethods: Administration > My webMethods > System Settings > ActiveTransfer Instances.

2. In the ActiveTransfer Instance Settings panel, click

3. Specify the following settings:
