Searching for Servers in IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services
Instead of entering a serv er connection manually, you can select a server or server cluster available
on the network through the Coordinator of Processes, available in IBM® SPSS® Collaboration
and Deployment Services. A se r ver cluster is a group of ser vers from which the Coordinator of
Processes determines the server best suited to re spond to a processing request.
Although you can manually add servers in the Server Login dialog box, searching for available
servers lets you connect to servers without requiring that you know the corre ct server name and
port number. This information is automatically provided. However, you still need the correct
logon information, such as username, domain, and passwo r d.
Note: If you do not have access to the Coordinator of Processes capability, you can still manually
enter the server name to which you want to connect or select a name that you have previously
defined. For more inform ation, see the topic Adding and Editing the IBM SPSS Modeler Server
Connection on p. 14.
