Hosts View

InstallAnywhere 2020 » Advanced Designer » Organization

The Hosts view on the Organization page is where you define hosts other than the default operating system host: application server and database server hosts. You can use these hosts to target application servers and database servers with your installers.

InstallAnywhere displays the hosts that you define in this view at the root level of the visual tree in the Install view of the Sequence page. Use the Install view to assign files, launchers, and actions to your operating system, application server, and database server hosts.

Description

Host List

Lists operating system, application server, and database server hosts. Every project includes a default operating system host that cannot be removed.

Add Host

Opens the Choose a Host dialog box. This dialog box lists application server and database server hosts. Select a host type and click Add.

Remove

Removes the currently selected host from the Host list.

Note that if an action has been added to the host on the Sequence page, this button is disabled. In order to remove the host from the list, you must first delete the action from the host.

Host Customizer

Shows configuration controls for the currently selected host. (Operating system hosts require no configuration.)

Note • If you enter a password value for an application server host or a database server host, the password value is automatically encrypted according to the security settings that are specified in the Variables view on the Project page.
