Connecting to a Server from ESP Studio

Studio provides a graphic interface for connecting to a server, also known as a cluster manager node.

By default after installation, a local cluster manager connection is already defined in the SAP Sybase ESP Run-Test perspective. You can use this local cluster for testing, or you can define new server connections to remote cluster managers. Both default and user-defined server connections appear in the Server View window in the Run-Test perspective.

If you do not have a server connection already defined, create a new connection by selecting New Server URL in the Server View in the SAP Sybase ESP Run-Test perspective.

  1. If you are not already in the SAP Sybase ESP Run-Test perspective, click the SAP Sybase ESP Run-Test tab at the top of the window, or select Window > Open Perspective > SAP Sybase ESP Run-Test.
  2. If you do not see the Server View window, select Window > Show View > Server View while in the Run-Test perspective.
  3. Either
    • Create a new remote cluster connection by selecting New Server URL and providing the host name and port for the cluster to which you want to connect.
    • Right-click on the server you want to connect to and select Connect Server.
    If the connection is successful, you can see the server streams below the server folder.
  4. To connect all of the listed servers, select the Reconnect All icon from the top-right corner of the Server View window.
    Unselecting Filter Metadata Streams causes all metadata streams to appear in the Server View.
