The idradmin user can add multiple subservers to the Server Manager Main server. Typically, subservers are located on remote machines where the Extractor or Applier run. The subservers run the replication tasks and transmit the intermediate files.
In the Data Replication Console, the idradmin user can either manually enter subserver connection information or discover the available servers.
On the
Server Manager
tab >
Configs
view, connect to the Main server as the idradmin user.
Click the
Server Manager
tab >
Servers
view.
