Managing Multiple Job Servers

The manager application can manage multiple servers at the same time. If you have an additional installation of the server running on another machine, you connect to the other server by clicking on the Connect Server button on the main toolbar. You can open as many server connections as needed. The only limitation is that each job server connection has its own inactivity timeout duration. So, if you open a connection, but do not continue using it in favor of another connection, it will eventually timeout and disconnect.

When you have multiple server connections open, most of the main toolbar buttons perform the desired action on the server within the branch in the connection panel that has a current node selected. As you click on folders or jobs under a specific server, its node in the list remains selected. So for example, when you click the Log button in the main toolbar, you will be looking at the main server log for the branch the selection is currently located in.
