The multi-galaxy environment

This section describes how to pair Galaxy Repositories to configure multi-galaxy communication. This lets you connect to and configure remote galaxies, and use standard run-time tools such as the Galaxy Browser, Object Viewer, and ViewApps to browse and subscribe to attributes across multiple galaxies deployed across multiple GR nodes.

Before you can enable multi-galaxy communication, your System Platform environment must be configured to use a System Management Server (SMS). Only one SMS should be configured per System Platform environment, and all nodes within the environment should be connected to the single SMS node. Refer to System Management Server or see the System Platform Installation Guide for details.

Important! If you are using an IDE node that includes a local GR to configure galaxies on remote GR nodes, System Platform enhanced security will not let you connect to a remote GR unless you pair to the GR first. You must configure multi-galaxy communication to allow the connection. See Connect to a remote GR from the IDE for additional information.
