Creating Server Definitions
By default, a new Designer installation includes a single server definition named Default. This server is marked as the default server and is configured to use localhost:5555.
If your Designer installation needs to connect to more Integration Servers, you can create additional server definitions.
*To create a server definition
1. In Designer: Window > Preferences
2. In the preferences navigation tree, select Software AG > Integration Servers.
3. Click Add.
4. In the Add Integration Server dialog box, enter the following information:
Field
Description
Name
Name to use for this Integration Server.
Note:
The name cannot contain control characters, special characters, and characters outside of the basic ASCII character set, such as multi-byte characters.
Host
Host name (for example, workstation5.webmethods.com) or IP address (for example, 132.906.19.22 or 2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7348) of the Integration Server to connect to.
The host names or IP addresses can include upper and lower case alphabetic characters, digits (0-9), hyphens (-), and periods (.) but cannot include spaces. For IPv6, IP addresses can also include colons (:) and brackets ([]).
Port
Port number to connect to on the Integration Server.
User
Indicates the name of a valid user account on the Integration Server. The user name must be a member of a group belonging to the Developers ACL.
Use the exact combination of upper- and lower-case characters with which it was originally defined. Integration Server user names are case sensitive.
Password
The password for user. Use the exact combination of upper- and lower-case characters with which it was originally defined. Integration Server passwords are case sensitive.
Connect immediately
Indicates whether Designer should connect to the Integration Server immediately after you add or edit a definition and click OK on the Add Integration Server or Edit Integration Server dialog box.
Connect at startup
Indicates whether Designer should automatically connect to the Integration Server at Designer startup.
Secure Connection
Indicates whether the session will be opened through HTTP or HTTPS. If you want to open an HTTPS session on the selected server using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), select this check box. If you want to open an HTTP session on the server, clear this check box.
Note:
If you want to setup multiple connections to the same Integration Server (same IP address and same port) using different hostnames then you must deselect the Verify hostname for server connections check box under Window > Preferences > Software AG > Service Development > Package Navigator.
5. To test this connection, click Verify Server.
6. Click OK.
By default, Designer will automatically connect to the Integration Server. If Designer does not automatically connect to the server, click Connect on the Preferences page.
