Getting Started – Live Data Cloud

Use the following steps to activate a data source server with a Live Data Cloud server.

Note: You do not need to enable the following Live Data Cloud feature if your data source servers have fixed IP addresses and are directly accessible from all client systems.  This Live Data Cloud feature is typically used to connect client devices to data servers that do not have a direct communication on their own or the data servers have a dynamic IP address without a network node name.
