Adding a server

These steps add a server (service or daemon) to the local machine. You can run multiple instances of the same Crystal Enterprise server on the same machine (except for the File Repository Servers).

To add a Windows server

Note:    To complete this procedure, you must log on as an Administrator of the local machine.

1. Start the CCM on the Crystal Enterprise machine upon which you want to install a new server.
2. On the toolbar, click Add Server.

   The Add Crystal Server Wizard displays its Welcome dialog box.

3. Click Next.

   The "Server Type and Display Name Configuration" dialog box appears.

   

4. Click the Server Type list and select the kind of server you want to add.

   The drop-down list includes the following servers:

   • APS
   • Cache Server
   • Input File Repository Server
   • Output File Repository Server
   • Page Server
   • Report Job Server
   • Web Component Server
   • Event Server
5. Change the default Display Name field if you want a different name to appear in the list of servers in the CCM.

   Note:    The display name for each server on the local machine must be unique.

6. Change the default Server Name field if required.

   Note:    Each server on the system must have a unique name. The default naming convention is HOSTNAME.servertype (a number is appended if there is more than one server of the same type on the same host machine). This Server Name is displayed when you manage servers over the Web in the Crystal Management Console (CMC).

7. Click Next.

   The "Set Configuration for this server" dialog box appears. The contents of this dialog vary slightly, depending upon the type of server that you are installing.

   Note:    If port number options are displayed in this dialog box, do not modify them. Instead, change ports through each server's command line. For details, see Changing the default server port numbers.

8. Type the name of the APS that you want the server to communicate with.
9. Click Next to accept any other default values, or modify them to suit your environment.
10. Confirm the summary information is correct; then click Finish.

    The new server appears in the list, but it is neither started nor enabled automatically.

11. Use the CCM (or the CMC) to start and then to enable the new server when you want it to begin responding to Crystal Enterprise requests. For details, see Viewing and changing the current status of servers.

To add a UNIX server

Use the serverconfig.sh script. For reference, see serverconfig.sh.
