Integration Server 10.5 | Configuring On-Premise Integration Servers for webMethods Cloud | Configuring Accounts for Integration Cloud | Overview
 
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 Integration Cloud for which you defined settings as described in Specifying Settings. Each account listens for requests from a specific stage on Integration Cloud. You can define as many accounts for each stage as is necessary for your needs and upload them to make them available to Integration Cloud.
You enable accounts on the on-premise Integration Server to allow them to serve any requests that originate from Integration Cloud. If an account is disabled on the on-premise Integration Server, any requests sent from Integration 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 Integration 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 Integration Cloud and later change the account details. This way, you can change the account details without having to upload the entire application.
