The Access And connectivity hub provides an easy way to change configurations for MX Web applications.

These configurations can often be adjusted without any downtime.

 

As example, one of our customers asked whether the host system could quickly be changed when there is an outage of an IBM i system as part of their disaster recovery (DR).

This short video illustrates how easy this is when using the hub and engines connected to an auto deploy environment.

 

Using the properties of the environment, a setting like engine.EmulatorSystem=<new hostname> will be automatically distributed to all engines connected to this environment when the environment is configured to use Auto deploy.
