Using iMIS Desktop with multiple appservers

If you have more than one instance of iMIS (see Choosing single or multiple appservers), you might need to configure iMIS Desktop to be able to connect to more than one, such as connecting to test and production environments.

Note: As of release 15.2.10, the URL to iMIS Desktop must end with /CS.

To configure iMIS Desktop to connect to multiple appserver URLs

1.  Open iMIS Desktop but do not log on!

2.  Click Cancel.

3.  From the iMIS Desktop menu bar, choose Logon > Set Host Location.

4.  On the Local Preferences window that appears, click Insert.

5.  On the Application Server URL Setup window, specify one of the URLs in the Server field.

6.  Click Save.

7.  Repeat this process for each URL that your iMIS administrator has given you.

8.  Close the Local Preferences window.

To specify the instance of iMIS to which you connect
