RAD Server Connection Profiles

Go Up to RAD Server Management Console Application

The RAD Server Management Console application uses Connection Profiles to save connection parameters to your RAD Server Engine (EMS Server).

In the upper pane of the RAD Server Management Console application, you can set the connection parameters to connect to your RAD Server Engine (EMS Server) and other authorization credentials (such as the MasterSecret key, or the AppSecret key).

Use the upper menu in the RAD Server Management Console application to create and manage your Connection Profiles.

• To create a new Connection Profile, select Profile > New Profile and set up the connection parameters.
• To rename a Connection Profile, select a profile in the combo box, then select Profile > Rename Profile and type the new name of the profile. Click OK to save the new name.
• To delete a Connection Profile, select the profile in the combo box, and then select Profile > Remove Profile. The configuration for that profile is then deleted from the application.

Select the Connection Profile you want to use from the combo box.

To save the entire Connection Profile configuration created in your application to a file in your system:

1. Select File > Export Profile.
2. Save a RAD Server Profile file (.emsp file) in a folder of your system.

To load an existing RAD Server Connection Profile file to your RAD Server Management Console application:

1. Select File > Import Profile.
2. Browse to the location of the RAD Server Profile file you want to open.

Note: If the Connection Profile name is already loaded into the RAD Server Management Console application, the version number is added to the displayed name.
