Location Server Configuration Screen
The Location Server Configuration screen (Figure 18 [page 67]) lets you
select a Main Location Server. When you install SPECTRUM components on
a workstation, you also automatically install a location server. In a
distributed environment, where there are multiple SpectroSERVERs,
SPECTRUM uses these location servers to maintain the VNM landscape
map, and to provide connection services to client applications. See
Distributed SpectroSERVER (2770) for more information.
This scheme requires that one of the location servers be designated the
Main Location Server. This workstation should be highly reliable and
available; ideally the same one hosting the SpectroSERVER you designated
as your Master Modeling Catalog.
