Configuring a Remote Cluster Connection

Use SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor Studio preferences to manage remote cluster connections and authentication methods.

Prerequisites

The administrator of the remote cluster must have provided the necessary information about the cluster: host name, port number, authentication method, and, if using RSA, the RSA user, password and keystore.

Task

To add a new remote cluster connection, select New Server URL in the Server View toolbar.

Note: In the Server View toolbar, you can also select Studio Preferences and add a new connection through SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor Studio > Run Test, and click Run Test. Select New.

Studio displays the New Server screen.
In the fields provided, enter the host name and port number for the cluster connection:

Host: myserver.mycompany.com
Port: 12345
(Optional) To enable encryption for Cluster Manager connections, select SSL.
Select an authentication method: Kerberos, RSA, or User/Password.
If you selected RSA, enter the following information:
- RSA User: – Provide the key alias.
- RSA Password: – Provide the keystore password.
- RSA Key store: – Provide the file name for the key store which contains the private key.
Click OK.

In the SAP Sybase ESP Run-Test perspective, the Server view accesses the list of stored server connections. Depending on the authentication method, Studio attempts to connect immediately (for RSA and Kerberos modes), or shows a login dialog for each cluster configured for User/Password authentication.

Note: To connect all listed servers, select Reconnect All in the Server View toolbar.
