Table B-2 Key Screens and Configuration Options for Oracle Managed File Transfer and Oracle SOA Suite Topology

Screen	Description
Templates	This screen appears after you start the configuration wizard to create your domain. In addition to the templates listed in Selecting the Configuration Templates for Oracle Managed File Transfer, select Oracle SOA Suite - 12.2.1.4.0 [soa].
Managed Servers	On this screen, two managed servers are created: `mft_server_1` and `soa_server_1`. Click Add and create two more managed servers: `mft_server_2` and `soa_server_2`. Ensure that in the Listen Address drop-down list, you select the IP address of the host on which the Managed Server will reside. Do not use `All Local Addresses`. In the Server Groups drop-down list, ensure that `soa_server_1` and `soa_server_2` are targeted to SOA-MGD-SVRS and `mft_server_1` and `mft_server_2` to MFT-MGD-SVRS-ONLY.
Clusters	On this screen, create two clusters: `soa_cluster1` and `mft_cluster1`.
Assign Servers to Clusters	On this screen, assign the servers as follows: `mft_server_1` and `mft_server_2` to `mft_cluster_1` `soa_server_1` and `soa_server_2` to `soa_cluster_1`
Machines	On this screen, create two machines: `mft_machine1` and `soa_machine2`.
Assign Servers to Machine	On this screen, assign the servers as follows: `AdminServer`, `mft_server_1`, and `mft_server_2` to `mft_machine_1`. `soa_server_1` and `soa_server_2` to `soa_machine_1`.
