Servers Page

Use the Servers page of Administration Console to view, define, and manage the servers that are used by the applications of the BarTender Suite that are associated with the instance of Administration Console that you have opened. By using this page, you can view and define a list of servers, specify a description for each server, identify a server as a production server, and configure one or more maintenance windows for each server. You can also define a list of server groups.

Server Names

Server Names: The Server Names pane displays a list of servers that are in use with the BarTender Suite. The current server appears in this list by default. Servers are also added automatically to the list when they are used to deploy an integration. For more information about deploying integrations, refer to Integrations.
- To add a new server to the Server Names list, click Add.
- To remove a custom server from the Server Names list, select the server name, and then click . You cannot remove the default server.

If you deploy an integration to a specific server and then delete the server from the Administration Console Servers page, the integration continues to function. However, if you set an integration to deploy at a later time from a specific server and then delete the server from the Servers page, the integration fails. For more information, refer to Integrations and Deployment.
