The server is what connects Match Studio to RNI-ES, which powers its matching and indexing capabilities. By default, RMS connects to RMS Elasticsearch Server. You can also choose to connect to a different external Elasticsearch server. This is useful if you want to use a different version of RNI-ES or utilize an existing server you already have. RMS checks the server connection status every 30 seconds.
Use the server dropdown menu on the right of the navigation bar to switch between servers and access the Manage Servers page. You can only be connected to one server at a time.
Additional servers are supported for RNI-ES versions 8.4.1.x and 8.5.3.x.

To add a new external server:
-
Select the Server dropdown in the navigation bar and then select Configure Servers. The Manage Servers page appears.

Select the Add Server button. The Add Server window appears.

Important
This version of RMS stores passwords as clear text. Two-way password encryption will be added in a future release. In the meantime, we recommend using the No Authentication option.

If you select Basic Authentication, enter the user name and password.

Confirm that the server details are correct and select >.

Wait for RMS to verify the connection and select Finish.
After you finish adding the server, it will be visible in both the Manage Servers page and the server dropdown menu on the navigation bar.
If there are external servers added to your instance of RMS, you can connect to them at any time by completing the following steps:
-
Hover over the server dropdown menu to the right of the navigation bar.

Select the server you want to connect to from the list.
You can also connect to a server from the Manage Servers page by hovering over the vertical ellipsis in the Action column for that server and selecting Connect.
