Selecting the Cancel button will return you to the Connected Servers screen. Selecting the Create button will create the selected server connection.

	IMPORTANT: When adding a connection to a new remote server, you must start the RMI objects on that host to allow Server Manager to administer it. You can start the RMI objects from the command line with the following command: $ /opt/aaa/remotecontrol/rmistart.sh

Modifying a Server Connection

From the Server Connections screen, selecting the server name, or the Notepad and pencil icon for the corresponding server, will display the Modify Connections screen shown below.

The Server Properties section of the form includes a list of pathnames that can not be modified. These pathnames must match the installation directories of the remote server.

	IMPORTANT: When setting an option to a given directory, the directory must exist and be writeable on the machine. You must specify Logfile directory to access session logs through the maintenance functions on the Navigation Tree.

Deleting a Server Connection

To delete a server connection, select the red "X" icon for the corresponding connection. The Delete Connection screen allows you to confirm the removal of a server connection.
