Server File

The System Coupling Server file (scServer.scs) is written to System Coupling's working directory if any participant is not started automatically. This text file contains the information needed to manually connect participants to System Coupling.

The file contains the following lines of data:

Coupling server's port and host, separated by an "@" character.
Note: If the coupling server host reports an unexpected name, review the notes in Participant connection issues for information on how to resolve this.
Element containing the number of coupling participants connected to System Coupling, including the automatically generated unique and display names for each. In the System Coupling environment:
Unique names are used by System Coupling to identify and connect the participants.
Display names are shown in user-facing communications such as files and console output.

12345@CouplingServer.mydomain.com `             !Coupling server's port and host
2                                               !Number of participants
CFX-1                                           !Participant 1 Unique Name
