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).

On your RAD Server Management Console application 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 RAD Server Management Console Application to manage your Connection Profiles.

Under the Profile menu option:

• To create a new Connection Profile, you can select the New Connection option or select Profile > New Profile and set up the connection parameters.
• To edit a Connection Profile, select a profile from the side profiles list, then select Profile > Edit Profile and the RAD Server Connection Profile wizard will display, edit your information. Click Close to save changes.
• To rename a Connection Profile, select a profile from the side profiles list, 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 from the side profiles list, and then select Profile > Remove Profile. The configuration for that profile is then deleted from the application.

Under the File menu option:

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.
