A Wise Package Studio task or tool can run a Web application whose URL is defined in
Tool Setup. When Workbench cannot connect to the computer that is hosting the Web
application, the Connection Failed dialog box appears.
The URL field displays the path to the Web application. If this field is enabled, and if
the Web application is on multiple servers, you can specify a new URL. Enter the full
path to the Web application, including the name of the computer on which the
application resides. Example:
http://computer_name/virtual_directory/application.asp
Specifying a new URL might change the URL for other users. See below.
If you do not specify a new URL, the Connection Failed dialog box might continue to
appear as you use Workbench. To prevent future connection attempts and disable
the dialog box, mark Prevent Connection Attempts to Web Applications.
To activate the dialog box, select Edit menu > Preferences > General tab and mark
the Allow Connection Attempts to Web Applications check box.
What happens when you specify a new URL?
The Allow Local Override of URL check box in Tool Setup determines what happens
when you specify a new URL.
If the check box is marked, the new URL is stored in your registry instead of the
Workbench database. Therefore, it does not change the URL for other users.
If the check box is cleared, the new URL is stored in the Workbench database and
changes the URL for all users.
Why is the URL field unavailable?
The Allow Local Override of URL check box in Tool Setup is cleared.
And
You have a license for Enterprise Management Server and you do not have
permission to access Tool Setup.
Because specifying a new URL without a local override changes the URL for all users,
only users with permission to edit tools have this ability.
