Starting Spectrum Enterprise Designer

Spectrum Enterprise Designer is a Windows application for creating dataflows. To start Spectrum Enterprise Designer:

  1. Select Start > Precisely > Spectrum Enterprise Designer.
  2. Enter the server name or IP address, or select it from the drop-down list. If you are using Spectrum Technology Platform in a cluster, enter the name of IP address of the cluster's load balancer.
  3. Enter your user name and password.
  4. In the Port field, enter the network port that the server has been configured to use for Spectrum Technology Platform communication. The default port number is 8080.
  5. Click Use secure connection if you want communication between the client and the server to take place over an HTTPS connection.
    Note: A secure connection is only available if HTTPS communication has been configured on the server. If you are running Spectrum Enterprise Designer on Windows 7, using the IP address in the Server name field may not work, depending on the type of certificate used to secure the communication between Spectrum Enterprise Designer and the server. If the IP address does not work, use the host name instead.
  6. Click Login.
