Adding remote connection items to a command queue file You can add remote connection items to a command queue file to automate the connection process and perform tasks on multiple computers. As the queue file runs, pcAnywhere connects to each host computer sequentially by using the connection and security information that is configured in each remote connection item. After running the commands on the first computer in the connection list, pcAnywhere ends the connection and then connects to the next computer in the list. This process continues until the list of commands has been completed or attempted on each host computer. To add remote connection items to a command queue file 1 In the Symantec pcAnywhere window, on the left navigation bar, under pcAnywhere Manager, click Command Queues. 2 In the Command Queues window, do one of the following: ■ To configure an existing command queue file, right-click the file, and then click Properties. ■ To configure a new command queue file, on the File menu, click New Item > Advanced. 3 On the Remotes tab, do one of the following: ■ To add a remote connection item that you have already configured, click Add Existing. This opens the default data directory for the remote connection item files (.chf). Select the file that you want to add, and then click Open. ■ To configure a new remote connection item, click Add New. This opens the advanced properties for a new remote connection item. Configure the new remote connection item, and then click OK.
