Log on to Controller

The Controller Classic and Excel addin now allows you to add and select multiple server connections so that you can access more than one environment. You can log on to IBM® Controller.

Before you begin

To enable the multi server select, in the CCR.exe.config file, set the value of the SelectServer flag to true.
Note: By default, the value of the SelectServer flag is set as false.

Procedure
