Assigning a server to a system

Edit online

About this task

In the Integration Flow Designer, there are two ways to assign a server to a system. You can either copy an existing server and drag it to a new server, or select the system in the Navigator and choose New from the Server menu. Both methods are described below.

To copy a server to system (drag-and-drop method):

Use this method if you want to add an existing server to a different system definition file (.msd). You must have both files open in the Navigator. System File A is the .msd file with the existing server; System File B is the .msd file receiving a copy of the server.

Procedure

  1. From the Navigator, click and hold on the server in System File A, and press Ctrl.
  2. Drag the server to the root server node in System File B.
    The mouse pointer will display a plus sign (+) to indicate correct positioning.
  3. Release the mouse to drop the server.
  4. When a message is displayed to confirm this action, click Yes.

Results

You can also use this procedure to duplicate a server within the same system file. A new server with the same properties is generated, however, it has a unique name.
