Creating a Promotion Target
Before you can promote a Bundle (or individual record) to Universal Controller, you must create a Promotion Target record for a cluster node of that Controller. A Promotion Target record contains the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of a target cluster node and, optionally, the user name and password required to log on to the cluster node.

Step 2 | Enter / select Details for a new Promotion Target, using the field descriptions below as a guide.

Step 3 | Click a Save button. The Promotion Target record is added to the database, and all buttons and tabs in the Promotion Target Details are enabled. |
Note
To open an existing record on the list, either:
- Click a record in the list to display its record Details below the list. (To clear record Details below the list, click the New button that displays above and below the Details.)
- Clicking the Details icon next to a record name in the list, or right-click a record in the list and then click Open in the Action menu that displays, to display a pop-up version of the record Details.
- Right-click a record in the a list, or open a record and right-click in the record Details, and then click Open In Tab in the Action menu that displays, to display the record Details under a new tab on the record list page (see Record Details as Tabs).
