ServerName
The ServerName setting is specifies the type of server on which the system is
deployed. The values include Local Server, Distributed, and None. You can also
define additional servers that appear in the drop-down list. The default value for
the ServerName setting is Local Server. Each server option is described in the
following table.
Option Description
Local
Server
A system is going to run on the local workstation, usually where
the IFD is installed. You might want to assign Local Server to
systems to use your workstation as a test environment to verify
execution. Or, you may plan to use Local Server as a part of
your production environment for system execution.
Distributed A system is composed of subsystems that are assigned to run on
different servers in a coordinated manner to distribute the
processing. Components in a distributed system must be
subsystems, not maps.
None No server selected. Because there is no server assigned, the
system is not executable.
Systems that have an assigned server value of None do not
appear in the Component view in the Navigator. These non-
executable systems can be used as subsystems within a system
that has an assigned server.
A subsystem with an assigned server value of None derives its
server from its parent system that has a server assigned.
Subsystems always display in the Composition view unless the
parent system also has a server value of None.
Refer to Chapter 8 - Servers and Execution Modes for additional server
information.
ExecutionType
The ExecutionType setting specifies the execution mode for the system. Choices
include Event Server or Command. The default setting is Event Server, which
indicates that the system is deployed for execution by the Event Server. If
Command is selected, the system is deployed for execution by the Command
Server.
