Managing Execution Servers

Execution servers and execution hosts quickly execute complex conversion, extract, and load specifications after receiving them from the Communication Manager. Execution servers are used for File-AID/EX executions, while execution hosts are used for File-AID/EX executions.

Users can set the default execution server and execution host as well as add, edit, and delete execution servers and execution hosts on the Execution Servers page of the Preferences dialog box.
