Creating and starting a DCDirector server

ECDA 15.0 provides a feature that allows DirectConnect Manager to connect to a “directing” server, called a DCDirector, that is capable of creating, starting, and stopping DirectConnect servers. To create a new DCDirector for an installation, use the DCDirector.bat batch file.

This batch file creates a new server with the default name “DCDirector” and sets the port number it listens on to a default port of 7711. The batch file then starts the server. No parameters are required or allowed, just enter:

DCDirector

You may change the default server name and default port number. If you need to use different values to identify the directors, you can use a text editor to modify the DCDirector batch file by assigning different values.
