Adding a server

You can use the New Server command to add a server.

  1. Start the OnDemand Administrator V9.5 client.
  2. Click once on OnDemand Servers at the beginning of the list of servers in the left-aligned panel.
  3. From the File menu, select New Server to open the Add a Server dialog box.
  4. Type the name of the server in the Server field.
    The server name identifies the server in the navigator pane of the administrator window. You can use an alias, the actual computer or network name of the server, or any other identifier you choose. By default, the administrative client copies what you type to the Host Name field.
  5. Verify the value of the Host Name field.
    (By default, the Host Name field contains the same value as the Server field.) The host name can be a host name alias, fully-qualified host name, or IP address of the server.
  6. Verify the Protocol. Choose from TCP/IP or Local:
    • TCP/IP. Use TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) as the network protocol. To use TCP/IP, the server and the client must include TCP/IP in the protocol stack.
    • Local. Use the local file system manager to communicate with the server. This is most often used when your archived data is on a CD-ROM.
  7. For TCP/IP, verify the Port Number that the server monitors for client program requests.

    The default value, 0 (zero), means that the server monitors the port number of the Content Manager OnDemand TCP/IP service. By default, the server monitors port number 1445. If you plan to use a port number other than 1445, then you must enter a valid port number. If you have more than one instance defined to Content Manager OnDemand, then you would have separate server definitions for every instance with unique port numbers for each instance. The value range is from 0 to 65535. To see what ports are currently in use on your system, enter the Work with TCP/IP Network Status (WRKTCPSTS) command with OPTION(*CNN).

  8. If your logon panel includes the Attempt Unified Logon check box, confirm that it is not checked.
    (Unified Logon is used only for Windows® servers.)
  9. If you are adding a Local server, specify a Directory and select an Operating System and a Database.
    See the online help for assistance.
  10. Click OK to add the server.
