Searching for Servers in IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services
Instead of entering a server connection manually, you can select a server or server cluster available
on the network thr ough the Coordinator of Processes, available in IBM® SPSS® Collaboration
and Deployment Services. A server cluster is a group of servers from which the Coordinator of
Processes determines the server be st suited to respond to a process ing reque st.
Although you can manually add servers in th e Server Login dialog box, searching f or available
servers lets you connect to servers w ithout requiring that you k now the correct server name and
port number. This information is automatically provided. However, y ou still need the correct
logon information, such as username, domain, and p assword.
Note: If you do not have access to the Coordinator of Processes capability, you can still manually
enter the ser ver name to which you want to connect or select a name that you have previously
defined. For more info r mation, see the topic Adding and Editing the IBM SPSS Modeler Server
Connection on p. 14.
