The Cluster Editor utility (ClusterEditorUI.exe) reads the server configuration file and updates the UNICOM Intelligence server cluster (mostly DPM settings) with new server information. The utility also updates the new server with required cluster information, including updating the Projects directory with required files. The utility serves the same function as the Command line Cluster Editor utility (ClusterEditor.exe), except that it is offered as a desktop application that provides a simple user interface. The ClusterEditorUI.exe must be run on the cluster's Primary DPM server. When run on a non-Primary DPM server, the Prepare Server, Attach Server, Detach Server, and Delete Server menu options are disabled.

The Login dialog displays after you start the utility. By default, the Login using Windows account option is checked. The utility first tries to login to DPM with LoginUsingWindowsAccount(). If the login fails, the utility tries to login to DPM with LoginAsTrustedWindowsAccount(). If both login attempts fail, the utility displays the failed login information.

Cluster details are available when you select the main cluster in the Cluster Editor utility. Cluster details are defined in the site preparation file and provide specific cluster information such as the server names, role, port, and whether SSL is enabled for each server.

The non-modifiable field provides the site name (provided from DPM).

The field provides options for specifying a location for the site preparation file (DataCollectionSitePrep.ini). The utility pre-populates the field by reading the SiteInstallationDir registry value from:

If the registry value does not exist, you can manually enter the site preparation file path or click Browse... to navigate to the appropriate site preparation file location.

Lists information for all cluster servers, including server name, roles, port number, and SSL setting.
