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 Server s.
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.
Field
Description
Host Name or IP Address
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 on which Integration Server listens for requests.
Secure Connection

User
The name of a valid user account on this server.
Use the exact combination of upper- and lower-case characters with which it was originally defined. Integration Server user names are case sensitive.
Note: The server is installed with a default user account called “Developer” that has developer privileges.

The password for the user account in User. Use the exact combination of upper- and lower-case characters with which it was originally defined. Integration Server passwords are case sensitive.
5. Click Connect.
Designer populates the bottom half of the Fetch Integration Server Definitions dialog with a list of server definitions available on the other Integration Server.
6. Select one or more definitions to fetch, and click OK.
Designer refreshes the Integration Server s page, this time including the fetched definitions. Designer automatically tries to connect to the fetched servers.
7. For any server definitions that have the status No user or password, select the definition, click Edit, supply the user ID and password, and click OK.
