Setting Up Remote Server Configurations

You can use erwin DM Scheduler to schedule reverse engineering (RE) jobs on a remote instance of erwin Data Modeler. You can configure multiple remote machines as servers and set up jobs to run in parallel on these servers. This saves time and provides you with an improved performance by distributing reverse engineering jobs across multiple servers.

To use remote servers to run RE jobs, ensure that:

• the remote server is running
• the remote server configuration is set up on your local Scheduler
• the local server configuration is set up on your remote Scheduler

To set up remote server configuration, follow these steps:

1. On the ribbon, go to Remote > Remote Server Configuration.
   The Remote Server Configuration screen appears.
   
   

2. Configure the remote server based on your requirement. Refer to the following table for field descriptions.
   

   Section	Option	Description
   Local Configuration	Server (IP)	Specifies the IP address of the local host.
   	Port	Specifies the service port number for the remote scheduler. This field displays the default port number. Click Change to update the port number.
   Server Configuration	Server	Specifies the IP address of the remote server.
   	Port	Specifies the port number for remote server. Ensure that the remote server is running before testing the connection.
   	Description	Specifies the description for the remote server.
   	Label	Specifies the label color to categorize the server configuration.

3. Once you have added remote server configuration, click Test.
   The erwin DM Scheduler screen appears on a successful connection.
   

4. Click Add.
   The remote server configuration is added to the list of remote servers.
   

   Once you have set up a remote server configuration, use one of the following options:

   • New: Use this option to set up another remote server. Selecting this option resets any information entered on the screen.
   • Save: Use this option to save any changes to selected remote server configuration.
   • Delete: Use this option to delete any selected remote server configurations.
   • Import: Use this option to import an existing remote server configuration. Select a server and click Import. This imports the This option is available when server information is configured under Server Configuration section.

     The import replaces the existing server configuration with the latest configuration.

5. Once you have set up a remote server configuration, use one of the following options:

   • New: Use this option to set up another remote server. Selecting this option resets any information entered on the screen.
   • Save: Use this option to save any changes to selected remote server configuration.
   • Delete: Use this option to delete any selected remote server configurations.
   • Import: Use this option to import an existing remote server configuration. Select a server and click Import. This imports the remote server and replaces the existing remote server configurations.

     The import replaces the existing server configuration with the latest configuration.

   Click OK.
   Remote server configuration is saved and is available in the Predefined Server Configuration list on the erwin DM Scheduler Event Details screen.
