1. Login to the SDM Primary server.

2. Click the Administration tab and expand System -> Configurations

3. If running SDM with Primary server only, create a new configuration in SDM:

4. If running SDM with Primary and Secondary servers, edit the existing configuration.

In the example below, web_dom is the existing configuration on a Primary/Secondary installation:

5. Create a new DOMSRVR process. In the example, it is named "domsrvr_for_animator". 

Important: take note of the Communication Server Name. In the above example, it is named: domsrvr:02

5. Run pdm_configure. Leave "Load default data" unchecked: 

 For Config options, select the appropriate configuration and leave "Start SDM services" unchecked:

• For the Primary and Secondary server installation, you should select the existing Configuration
• For the Primary server only installation, you should select the new Configuration created

6. To configure Animator to the newly added dedicated DOMSRVR:

Locate the following two files under NX_ROOT\pdmconf

  pdm_startup.i
  pdm_startup.i.tpl

Open both files with a text editor and search for #define ANIMATOR_NXD(_TAG) and edit the command to:

command = "$NX_ROOT/bin/animator_nxd -d 'domsrvr:02'"

Here domsrvr:02 is the name of the domsrvr created in step #4.

 7. Start the SDM service

• For Primary/Secondary installation, start the Secondary server(s) first and then the Primary server.
• For Primary server installation only, start the Primary server.

8.  To validate that the DOMSRVR process created is running, run the following command in a command prompt:

slstat | findstr "dom"
