Server connections are used to configure the actors Data Mover interacts with when acting as a server, allowing it to receive files from partners or make files accessible for other entities. In this role, Data Mover is responsible for establishing connections that define how files are sent and ensuring that the transfer processes are efficient and secure.
To receive files and make them accessible, the Actor that will connect to Data Mover must be configured. Different protocols are supported.
To add a server, follow these steps:
Go to Setup → STENG, Clusters and Servers and click on the NEW SERVER button.
In the dialog window, select the protocol of the server you want to add.
Depending on the selected protocol, a specific dialog window will appear. Refer to the following pages for a detailed explanation of the parameters included in each window. These fields are common to all protocols: - Server Name and Description. - Cluster associated to the server. - Default Status of the server: enabled or disabled.
When done, click the Continue button and a recap of the parameters entered will appear. Click the Save button to add the server.
All STENGs must have the same number of servers to ensure high reliability. Therefore, when adding a server to a STENG, the last screen will list all STENGs, and when saving, the server will be added to all missing STENGs. Likewise, when deleting a server, it will be deleted from all STENGs to keep the same number of servers in all STENGs.
