The Transform Servers section contains these headings:

Select

Indicates whether the transform server is selected for an action.

Host Name

Specifies a host name that is a hyperlink to the host name or IP address of the transform server. When you click the hyperlink, you open the Set Transform Server properties for host, where host is the host name or TCP/IP address of a transform server.

Availability

This row contains an icon that is either a green light or a red light:

• Green indicates that the transform server is running.
• Red indicates that the transform server is not running.

This row also contains an icon next to each green or red light that shows the transform server connection when the transform server status is either Ready or Transforming:

• This icon is constantly changing over a five to ten second interval if the connection is active.
• The icon does not change when the connection goes down. This means that a problem has occurred with the transform server even if the status seems to be OK (Ready or Transforming).
