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 1

From the Bundles & Promotion navigation pane, select Promotion Targets. The Promotion Targets list displays a list of existing Promotion Targets.
 
To the right of the list, Promotion Target Details for a new Promotion Target record displays.
 

Step 2

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

  • Required fields display an asterisk ( * ) after the field name.
  • Default values for fields, if available, display automatically.

To display more of the Details fields on the screen, you can either:

  • Use the scroll bar.
  • Temporarily hide the list above the Details.
  • Click the  button above the list to display a pop-up version of the Details.

Step 3

Click a  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).
