Server Edit
Edit Broker Servers

Use the RPC Edit Broker Servers (SERVERLIST.EXE) program to edit the list of broker servers that a workstation can connect to. This list of servers is stored in the workstation's Registry.

•	If no server is on a workstation's list of servers to connect to, by default applications will connect to server BROKERSERVER on port 9200.

•	If only one server is on a workstation's list of servers to connect to, the user doesn't have to choose a server; applications connect to that server and port automatically.

•	If more than one server is on the list, the user must choose which one to connect to. This is a way to enable a user to connect to either production or test systems, for example.

To add server entries that the workstation can connect to:

1.	Add a server entry in one of the following ways:

a.	Select a server or servers from the Servers in HOSTS file list, and then press Add Hosts Server.

b.	Double-click on a server in the Servers in HOSTS file list.

c.	Press Add Server (this lets you add a server entry that is not in the HOSTS file).

2.	For each new server entry created, fill in the appropriate port (and server if necessary) to connect to for that entry.

3.	Press OK. This closes the ServerList program and adds the specified server(s).

To edit a server the workstation can connect to:

1.	Edit the Server and/or Port column.

2.	Press OK. This closes the ServerList program and updates the specified server(s).

To delete a workstation the workstation can connect to:

1.	Click the Del column for each server you want to delete. This places an asterisk in that column.

2.	Press OK. This closes the ServerList program and deletes the specified server(s).

Note  This utility is only installed with the Broker Development Kit. It is standalone application that can be copied to any workstation that needs its list of servers and ports updated.
