The machine profile contains the information required to enable FDM to determine on which servers source and target databases are located. The machine profile also stores global logon information for connecting to the target application.
Note: | When Global Login is selected, FDM uses the global login user name and password to log on to target applications. Therefore, the global login user account must have access to the target application servers and security privileges within the target applications that enable FDM to load and retrieve values to and from the target applications, regardless of the user who is logged into FDM. |
A machine profile must be configured for every computer that has FDM Application Server or FDM Task Manager installed, and for any machine running the Workbench client. However, only the following fields must be completed:
Target Machine
Source Machine
Domain (Domain may be entered as NA if you are not using the global login ID)
