Configuring MID Server

Before MID Server installation can begin, the network must be prepared to access the instance and download site. There are several installation procedures depending on the host operating system and scale of deployment. Once installed, MID Servers can be configured with many capabilities and features.

• Prepare network connections for MID Servers
  Before you install the MID Server, perform the necessary prerequisites that it needs to connect to elements inside and outside your network. This includes network privileges and security considerations.
• Installing the MID Server
  Download and install the MID Server on the host machine, test the connection, and then validate the MID Server. Set up multiple MID Servers for load balancing and domain separation. These procedures prepare it for use with any application.
• Configuring MID Servers
  After installing and validating your MID Servers, ensure that they have access to sufficient system resources, probe the proper targets, and communicate with the instance as expected. Configure MID Server selection criteria, create clusters for failover protection, and set up MID Servers in different domains to protect data.
