Change Server
The Change Server button is accessed from the Main Info bar (located at the top of each tab) and is available from features that can be applied to nodes belonging to the cluster.
Platform provides a single user interface for activities that are performed both on the Central (the cluster governing component) and nodes (servers that have been assigned to the central). The transparent user interface provides users with the ability to switch between servers.
Note:
The Change Server screen is a pop-up. If you have a Pop-up Blocker activated on your browser, make sure that pop-ups are allowed for the Platform URL or deactivate the Pop-up Blocker entirely.
The user interface is divided into features that are applicable to the Central Server and features that are applicable to a selected node.
The features that are applicable to the Central Server are as follows:
-
Platform (administration menu): Dashboard, Status, Preferences, User Management, Cluster Management and license Management.
-
PHP Intelligence: System Health, Graphs, Event List, Event Triggers Event Actions and Security.
-
Session Clustering: Statistics and Settings.
-
Job Queues: Queues, Jobs and Settings.
-
Integration: BIRT Reports (The Java Bridge must be up and running on the Central Server in order to render the reports).
The features that are applicable to a selected node are as follows:
-
Performance: Console, Settings, File View, URLs, Testing and Tuning.
-
Configuration: Studio, PHP Configuration, PHP Info
and Clone wizard.
-
Integration: Java Bridge.
-
ZDS: Settings
The Server Indicator displays the name of the server on which you are currently working, the user name used to log-in, a log-out option and the current date and time.
When on a node, the Server Indicator will add an additional option to change the server. This option will not appear when performing actions on the Central Server.
The following procedure describes how to change the server on which you are working. The "Change Server" option opens a tree that displays all the available servers that the currently logged-in user is permitted to view. Servers can be displayed in the tree by Groups or alphabetically.

To change a server:
-
Click "Change Server".
-
Choose a Server from the list and click Select.
-
If you cannot see a specific server, it is possible that you do not have the correct user permissions. In this case, go to: Platform | User Management and check to see if your User has a "Server Restriction". Alternately, ask your System Administrator to grant you access to this server through your Platform user permissions.

|
Any settings that are now configured through Platform will be applied to the selected server and not to the Central Server.
Platform will "remember" the last server selection for the next log-in.
