Add and Connect to Remote Server

A remote IDE server is a connection to an OpenVMS system made on behalf of your user account on the OpenVMS system.  A server process is started (running in your user account) on the OpenVMS system that will execute remote commands such as compile or execute.
 

  To add or connect to a remote IDE server

1.  In the NetBeans IDE, select the Runtime tab.

2.  Right click Remote IDE Servers.

3.  Select Add Remote IDE Server.

    

Check the Save Password checkbox if you want the IDE to remember the password for the IDE Server’s OpenVMS account between IDE invocations.  If you clear the checkbox, the password is not saved. and is erased from memory after it is used for logging in.

See Password Security for more information.

4.  Fill in the Host, User, and Password information. (Specify your OpenVMS account username  and password, not your Pathworks username and password.)

5.  Do not change the RMI port, unless you have configured the IDE Server on your OpenVMS machine to use a different RMI port.  Click OK.  

6.  Optionally fill in the server setup command and server timeout properties.  
 

      

When you add a remote server, it is automatically connected for you. The connection icon (a traffic signal) turns yellow when the connection is in progress, then green to show that you are connected to the remote server. The traffic signal icon is red when you are disconnected. The following connection has been made:

    

Note  You can specify properties of the remote IDE server. To do so, right click on the remote IDE server name, and click Properties. By default, the Preserve Session option is unchecked. If you check Preserve Session, NetBeans will restore the connection state at startup to the connection state that existed when NetBeans was last shut down.
