Creating Connection Documents

Connection documents (.eod*) can store up to three types of information to start and configure sessions:

By default, connection documents are saved locally in the Exceed onDemand Documents directory for a particular user. You can generate any number of connection documents and then run them to start the sessions you need. Connection documents are also useful if you want to distribute predefined configurations to multiple users.

To create a new connection document:

  1. In the Exceed onDemand Client dialog box, specify the connection parameters necessary to connect to the Exceed Connection Server machine. When you run the connection document, Exceed onDemand Client requests any parameters you leave blank.

    Tip:  To publish a connection document to all users, save the .eod* file without specifying user credentials.

  2. In the Configuration area, select an Xstart and/or Xconfig file if required.
  3. On the Settings menu, you can enable the following options:
  4. Click the Save button. The Save As dialog box opens.
  5. Provide a name for the connection document by editing the default file name, NewConnection.eod*.
  6. If necessary, change the default file location.
    Note: 
      Saving to the default location ensures that future versions of Exceed onDemand Client can access it.
  7. Click Save.
