| # Hosts All computers from which Object Data Management must be accessed, and all computers on which the vault server is installed, can be registered in Object Data Management as hosts. The first time a user performs a file-related operation from a BW client in case of Worktop, the system registers the computer as a host. However, the ODM administrator must ensure that all computers on which vault servers are located, are registered as hosts even if the dynamic host option is being used. Basically, ODM administrators must always make sure that all computers are registered in the Hosts (dmdoc5500m000) session. The ODM administrator must perform the complete registration for vault server computers, for example, UNIX. To register hosts, you can use the Hosts (dmdoc5500m000) session. To open the Hosts session To open the Hosts (dmdoc5500m000) session, on the Object Data Management menu, double-click ODM Configuration > System Administration for Areas > Hosts. The Hosts (dmdoc5500m000) overview session appears which provides a list of all computers that are already registered in Object Data Management: To register a host To register a host, take the following steps: In the Hosts (dmdoc5500m000) overview session, on the File menu, click New. The Hosts (dmdoc5500m000) details session appears: Enter the name for the new host: Either enter the name of the computer in the Computer Name field, or enter an address in the IP Address. For nodes with a vault server installed, the following conditions apply: If the vault server is to be used to control access to vault areas, you must specify the computer name and not the IP address, because the IP address can change. If the vault server is to be installed on a computer with static Internet addresses, you can specify the IP address. If the vault server is only to be used to enable users to access files in work areas over the Internet, you can achieve better results if you enter the computer name or a static IP address. For nodes on which a vault server is installed, the following conditions apply: Enter the vault server port number in the Port field, for example, 2001, 4001, and so on. |
