Creating an application server profile

An application server profile is a named set of parameters stored in your system registry that defines a connection to a particular EAServer or third-party application server host. Before you use a wizard to create a component, you should create a profile for the server where the component will be deployed.

The Application Server Profiles dialog box lists your defined profiles. You create, edit, delete, and test application server profiles from this dialog box.

The E A Server Profiles dialog box includes five columns: Profile Name, Server Name, Port, Login Name, and Password. The example shows three defined profiles and the associated data for each. On the right of the box are five command buttons, Add, Remove, Configure, Test, and Done. Only Add and Done are highlighted in the example.

In the EAServer and Application Server Component and Proxy wizards, there is a Manage Profiles button on the Choose EAServer Profile or Choose Application Server Profile page. Clicking this button opens the Application Server Profiles dialog box so that you can add a new profile or modify an existing profile without leaving the wizard.

The Profile Name in the Edit Application Server Profile dialog box cannot be edited. This is because the name is stored in the project object along with the other properties of the profile. If the profile name cannot be found in the registry when the project is deployed, the description in the project object is used.

StepsTo create an application server profile:

  1. Click the Application Server Profile button in the PowerBar.

    The Application Server Profiles dialog box displays, listing your configured profiles.

  2. Select Add.

    The Edit Application Server Profile dialog box displays.

  3. Type the profile name, server name, port number, login name, and password (if required).

  4. (Optional) Select Test to verify the connection.

  5. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box.

    The Application Server Profiles dialog box displays, with the new profile name listed. The Application Server profile values are saved in the registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Sybase/PowerBuilder/12.5/ JaguarServerProfiles.
