Deployments--Processing Nodes the Hard Way

Processing nodes can be physical (a server box) or logical (a server cluster acting as one server). If you don't have a CSV file of processing node data, you will need to enter the data manually as described below. Otherwise, you can just import from the file.

Open the Select New Type for All Methods window

On DEAR's menu bar, select "Dictionary/New Definition".

Select Dictionary/New Definition

You will get this window:

Select PROCESSING-NODE

Select "PROCESSING-NODE". Note that this is NOT the same as the “Processing Node” directly above it.

OK

Click "OK". You'll get the following window that lets you name the location.

Name

Give the processing node a name, such as a short description or a web address.

Asset ID

Enter the asset ID if you know it; otherwise enter “Unknown".

Serial number

Enter the serial number if you know it; otherwise enter “Unknown".

OK

Click "OK". You'll get the following Dictionary Object window that lets you enter more processing node information.

The Access Data tab has read-only information; you don’t have to fill in anything on it.

On the second page of the tab, enter any comments in the Comments box, shown below.
