Select and Connect to a Data Archive server

The Servers pane, in the upper left area of PI SMT, displays a list of all known Data Archive servers, sorted by collectives and individual servers.

• To choose a Data Archive server, click the corresponding check box.

  Note: Clicking the check box does not immediately create a connection to the corresponding server. You connect with that server only when you take an action with a PI SMT tool. PI SMT shows you whether you are connected to servers and the type of connection.

• To connect to a server as a specific user, right-click the server and click Connect As.

• To find a server or collective, in the Search field, enter all or part of a server or collective name.

• To hide or show the Servers pane, click View > Servers.
