Connecting the Data Exchange Servers
1. To add a new DX member, from the Members dialog (see page 102), click
New. A message appears, asking if this member will participate in automated
data exchange. Click Yes. Once you confirm that you want to proceed with
the connection, the first Data Exchange Connection Builder dialog for the
union catalog appears:
Enter the IP address of the union
catalog's Data Exchange Server.
Select this option if you want the
application to remember this information
for the next DX member you add.
Enter the IP address of the union catalog's Data Exchange Server, and click
Connect.
2. The Data Exchange Connection Builder dialog for the member appears:
Enter the IP address of the member's
Data Exchange Server.
Note: If one Follett Data Exchange
Server supports both the union catalog
and the member, the IP address will be
the same for both.
Enter the IP address of the member's Data Exchange Server, and click
Connect.
