Configuring Your Enterprise Server Address
If your organization is connecting to Content Fusion using your own hosted server, your system administrator first needs to set up and configure your Enterprise server and they can either use a properties file to impose the Enterprise server address or they can send you the server address and you can manually configure Oxygen XML Editor/Author to connect to the server.

Fusion Task Manager toolbar button to display the task management
view.

server. Select Enterprise and enter the address of
your Enterprise server (for example,http://fusion.example.com). Ask
your system administrator for the server address if you do not know it. If your
organization uses the properties file to impose the Enterprise server
address, you will not need to enter it manually.Important:The Evaluation option is a service where the content is stored on an Evaluation server hosted by Oxygen and with a default configuration. It is meant for trial purposes only. When using this option, you should only use sample documents that do not contain sensitive information or ownership rights.
- Click Connect to open the Content Fusion
interface in your default browser.Note:If a connection to the server could not be established, a Choose the Oxygen Content Fusion server box is displayed . You can enter the address of your server (it must be a valid URL), click Connect, and this also automatically sets the address of your server in the preference page described in steps 3 and 4.
