Defining System Configuration Parameters

To add a system to the configuration, perform the following:

  1. Either right-click the root node and select New, or select the root node and click the Add toolbar button.

  2. Enter the name of the new system in the displayed dialog box.

  3. Click OK.

A new node is added for the system configuration. A system configuration defines the following parameters for a single host application. The first four parameters listed in the table specify the location of the Java class files. Using the examples from the table would give “http://webserver.domain.com/forms/com/unisys/sample/all”.
