Installing the Web Publishing Engine in various host configurations 35
If your solution uses relationships between databases that are hosted on multiple FileMaker Servers, then you must
register the Web Publishing Engine in each FileMaker Server.
For example, here is a solution in which a Products database hosted by FileMaker Server 1 uses data from a
Catalog database hosted by FileMaker Server 2. To enable the Web Publishing Engine to connect to both
FileMaker Servers, you must register the Web Publishing Engine in each FileMaker Server that specifies the same
identifier and optional passcode that is configured in the Web Publishing Engine, such as WPE_1 and Passcode_1.
Although you can only specify the IP address of one FileMaker Server when you configure the Web Publishing
Engine, the connection to the other FileMaker Server occurs automatically.

FileMaker Server identifier, and
“Passcode_1” as the passcode.
FileMaker Server 2 is not configured in
the Web Publishing Engine.
