Overview
When you create an account on the on-premise Integration Server, you specify the connection parameters that the on-premise Integration Server uses to access webMethods Cloud. For each account, you specify the a tenant that communicates with the on-premise Integration Server. Each account can be associated with a different tenant.
You create accounts on the on-premise
Integration Server to allow them to serve any requests that originate from
webMethods Cloud. If an account is disabled on the on-premise
Integration Server, any requests sent from
webMethods Cloud will time out depending on the amount of time specified in the
Request Timeout field. For more information about the
Request Timeout field, see
Creating Accounts on an On-Premise Integration Server
.
You can upload accounts in two ways: as part of an application or individually, separate from applications. In order to upload an account as part of an application, you must first create the account and then associate it to the application when you upload it to
webMethods Cloud as described in
Uploading Applications.
You can upload accounts separately from applications in the event that you need to override the settings of a previously uploaded account. You might do this if you associate an account while uploading an application to webMethods Cloud and later change the account details. This way, you can change the account details without having to upload the entire application.
