ServerName

The ServerName setting is specifies the type of server on which the system is deployed. The values include Local Server, Distributed, and None. You can also define additional servers that appear in the drop-down list. The default value for the ServerName setting is Local Server. Each server option is described in the following table.

Option

Description

Local Server

A system is going to run on the local workstation, usually where the Integration Flow Designer is installed. You might want to assign Local Server to systems to use your workstation as a test environment to verify execution. Or, you may plan to use Local Server as a part of your production environment for system execution.

Distributed

A system is composed of subsystems that are assigned to run on different servers in a coordinated manner to distribute the processing. Components in a distributed system must be subsystems, not maps.

None

No server selected. Because there is no server assigned, the system is not executable.

Systems that have an assigned server value of None do not appear in the Component view in the Navigator. These nonexecutable systems can be used as subsystems within a system that has an assigned server.

A subsystem with an assigned server value of None derives its server from its parent system that has a server assigned. Subsystems always display in the Composition view unless the parent system also has a server value of None.
