Viewing information about a specific server in the server group

Access information about a specific server such as server version, operating system, server time, licenses, and database, by using the Server Info tab of the AR System Management Console.

For example, in a server group of 10 servers, you modify settings on server 5. These changes are easily accessible through the Server Info tab of the AR System Server Group Console.

Do not enter a fully qualified domain name. An alias makes it easier to move workflow between computers. Entering an alias in this field does not automatically assign an alias to the server. The network environment must reflect a change to the server name before entering the alias name in this field.

The alias name must be a valid host name on your network. If you change your server name alias, make sure you supply the alias to the DNS or enter the alias name in your hosts file. Otherwise, your AR System server cannot connect to the plug-in server. After you change the server environment, users can log on to the browser by using the new server alias, just like any other server name. See your network operating system documentation for information about creating an alias for the server.
