Select a server definition file
All users of an instance of QMF for WebSphere use the
same SDF. This SDF is made available to QMF for WebSphere in one
of two ways:
- Using the Publish command in QMF for Windows
Administrator (see Publish the SDF).
- Using the Open or Upload commands
in QMF for WebSphere Administrator.
Open
To open an SDF that already resides on the WebSphere server:
- In the Actions window or on the File menu,
click Open.
- The Open window displays.
- Select the SDF that you want to open from the list of available
SDFs in the file system on the server.
- Click Open. The SDF that you selected
is opened by QMF for WebSphere Administrator, and is also set as
the current SDF for QMF for WebSphere.
Upload
To upload a server definition file that resides on your
local or network drive to the WebSphere server:
- In the Actions window or on the File menu,
click Upload.
- The Upload window displays.
- Type the name of the SDF in the File name field.
You can use the Browse button to search for
a SDF. Select the encoding of the file in the File encoding field.
- Click Upload. The SDF that you selected
is uploaded to the WebSphere server and the Save window
displays.
- Type or select a path and file name in the file system on the
WebSphere server where you would like to store the uploaded SDF.
Click Save. The SDF is saved in the specified
file and opened by QMF for WebSphere Administrator, and is also
set as the current SDF for QMF for WebSphere.
