Add a Server to a Service Connection

For older service connections created using the Visual Builder 23.10 release or earlier, which were not based on a backend, you can add different server definitions to a service connection, as explained in this topic. For service connections created after the 23.10 release, new server definitions must be added from the backend associated with the service connection. For more information, see Edit a Backend.

For older service connections, you'd add different server definitions and use them in conjunction with application profiles to set which server definitions to use during the different stages of an application's lifecycle.

For example, you might add a development server that hosts an instance of the REST service where non-customer data is used, and an authentication method like basic authentication is acceptable. This development server can be used to develop your application, but once you publish it to production, your apps need to connect to the REST service using a production server with more stringent authentication requirements and access to customer data.

To add a server to a service connection:
  1. Open the Servers tab of the service connection where you want to add the server:

  2. Click the + In-Source Server button to open the New Server dialog. Alternatively, click the Copy icon to make a copy of an existing server and modify some of its entries.
    In both cases, a dialog appears where you can identify the server, specify an application profile that will use the server, add headers, and configure security options. These options are the same as those you configure when you initially created the service connection.
  3. Once you complete the definition of the server options, click Save or Copy depending on the option you chose to add the server.

The first server in the List of Servers is the default server. It will be associated with all application profiles, unless you configure the other servers in the list to use another application profile.
