Creating and starting a DCDirector server

Using DirectConnect Manager

For instructions on how to use DirectConnect Manager to create a DCDirector server, go to the Server Administration topic of DirectConnect Manager online Help and select “Creating a DCDirector server.”

Using the DCDirector utility

To create and start a new DCDirector for an installation, use the DCDirector script (on UNIX) or batch file (on Windows).

StepsTo create and start a new DCDirector server

  1. At

    C:\<install_dir>\DC-15_0\bin (Windows)

    or

    /<install_dir>/DC-15_0/bin (UNIX)

    enter:

    DCDirector
    

    The DCDirector will have the new server name, the machine name of where the server is installed, and a port number equal to 7711.
