Searching for Servers in IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Ser vices

Instead of entering a server connection manually, you can select a server or server clu ster available
on the network through the Coordinator of Processes, available in IBM® SPSS® Collaboration
and Deployment Services. A server cluster is a gro up of servers from which the Coordinator of
Processes determines the server best suited to respond to a processing request.
Although you can manually add servers in the Server Login dialog box, searching for available
servers lets you connect to servers without requiring that you know the correct serve r name and
port number. This information is automatically provid ed. However, you still need the correct
logon information, such as username, domain, and password.
Note: If you do not have access to the Coordinator of Processes capability, you can still manually
enter the server name to which you want to connect or select a name that you have previousl y
defined. For more information, see the topic Adding and Editing the IBM SPSS Modeler Server
Connection on p. 14.

Changing the Temp Directory
Some operations performed by IBM® SPSS® Modeler Server may require temporar y files to be
created. By default, IBM® SPSS® Mode ler uses the system temporary directory to create temp
files. You can alter the location of the temporary directory using the following steps.
