Setting the Director Used by Engines

The Primary and Secondary Directors for an Engine is set during Engine installation. You can later change the Directors to which an Engine reports, by changing the Engine Configuration used by the Engine.

To configure an Engine’s Directors:

1.

Go to Grid Components > Engines > Engine Configurations.

2.

Select the Engine Configuration used by the Engine. This is typically the operating system of the Engine.

3.

In the Directors and Brokers section, change Primary Director URL and Secondary Director URL to the corresponding addresses and ports of the Primary and Secondary Directors, in the format http(s)://address:port.

Note that this changes the Directors for all Engines using that Engine Configuration. Also note that when moving Engines from one grid to another, Engines lose any custom Engine properties that are defined on the former Director’s grid, because those are stored in the grid’s administrative repository.
