  5. Click Add, and then type the destination computer name in the box under End point server.

  7. On the destination computer, repeat steps 1 through 6.

Method 2: Use the command-line interface (CLI) to create a metabase project

Type the following commands at a command prompt:

css addproj projectname website endpoint /metabase
css addproj projectname website /server endpoint /metabase

Note The endpoint placeholder represents the destination computer name.

STATUS
