Creating Sterling Connect:Direct Netmaps
Once you have defined at least one Sterling Connect:Direct® node you want to use, you can create a netmap. When you configure a Sterling Connect:Direct Server Adapter, you must specify the netmap you want to use rather than the individual Sterling Connect:Direct nodes you want to communicate with. The individual Sterling Connect:Direct nodes are associated with netmaps with cross references. This arrangement is very flexible and allows you to:
- Define each Sterling Connect:Direct node one time no matter how many Sterling Connect:Direct Server Adapter you have.
- Use the same netmap for multiple Sterling Connect:Direct Server Adapters.
- Create specialized netmaps for different Sterling Connect:Direct Server Adapters.
