Fetching Server Definitions from an Integration Server
You can obtain a server definition by fetching it from another Integration Server. Keep the following points in mind when fetching server definitions:
*For the fetch process to work, the WmDesigner package must be installed and running on the other Integration Server, and the server definition you are trying to fetch must have been previously defined on the copy of Designer running on the other server.
*If the Integration Server from which you want to fetch definitions contains remote server definitions, make sure that the remote server definitions use host names or addresses that can be resolved by the machine retrieving the definitions.
*To fetch to an Integration Server definition from another Integration Server
1. In Designer, select Window > Preferences
2. In the preferences navigation tree, select Software AG > Integration Servers.
3. Click Fetch.
4. In the Fetch dialog box, enter the following information about the Integration Server from which you want to fetch a server definition.

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 ([]).

6. Select one or more definitions to fetch, and click OK.
Designer refreshes the Integration Servers page, this time including the fetched definitions. Designer automatically tries to connect to the fetched servers.
