To define/add the Sametime Connect host server name if the field is blank:

  1. Open Sametime Connect.

    Sametime launches and you only need to change your Sametime host server name: Click O ptions from the menu bar and select P references from the drop down list.

  3. Click the Sametime Connectivity tab.

  4. The host server is defined by user location. Type one of  the following servers (listed in italics) in the Host window in the Sametime server section:

    • AsiaPac, North and South America:  PSH-SAMETIME-01.PEOPLESOFT.COM

    • Europe:  AMS-SAMETIME-01.PEOPLESOFT.COM

    • Legacy JD Edwards and Denver based employees: DEN-SAMETIME-01.PEOPLESOFT.COM

      Note:  The entire server name including the .PEOPLESOFT.COM must be added.   Otherwise, Sametime will not connect to the server properly.

  5. Click OK.

You should now be able to successfully log on to Sametime Connect.

The host server name may also be defined through the Sametime Connect Preferences option.  For information on how to define the host server name from the Preferences option, click here.
