The Machine Profile contains information that enables FDM to determine on what computers or servers the source and target databases are located. The machine profile also stores global logon information for connecting to target applications. When the Global Login option is selected, the same user name and password is used to log on to FDM and the target application. Therefore, in this case, the user account must have access to the target application.
For FDM to load and retrieve values to and from the target application, the user account used to log on to the target application must have appropriate security privileges in the target application, regardless of what user account is logged on to FDM. You must configure a machine profile for every computer that has the FDM Application Server or Task Manager component installed.
