Connecting to an Integration Server
 
Connecting to an Integration Server through Preferences
When you connect to an Integration Server, you create a session on that Integration Server. You maintain a session on that server until you exit Designer or disconnect from the server. You can have open sessions on multiple servers at a time.
*To connect to an Integration Server
1. In Package Navigator view, select the server to which you want to connect.
2. Right click, and select Connect to server.
Points to consider
*If Designer disconnects from Integration Server, by default, it tries to reconnect to Integration Server three times before failing. However, you can set the number of retries by adding the watt.clientConnection.numberOfRetries property in the Software AG_directory \Designer\eclipse\configuration\config.ini file. For example,
watt.clientConnection.numberOfRetries=5
*By default, Designer does not create a log file while connecting to Integration Server. If you want to collect more logging information, set the watt.client.logFile={log_file_path} property in the Software AG_directory \Designer\eclipse\configuration\config.ini file so that Designer creates the log file at the configured location.
