To make best use of the system's dynamic server selection, you must set up a number of data objects, in a particular order. This topic outlines the minimum requirements for using servers.
Server Authentications provide login names and passwords for servers. You can apply a server authentication to more than one server, so that you do not need to have unique logins for every server, and when you change a login, you can change it for a set of systems.

Use the Test Connection button to test your servers after you create them, and review their manifests to make sure that they have the properties you expect.
