How do you connect to a remote Livecycle server using Workbench?

[Former Community Member]

I'm trying to use Workbench ES to connect to an instance of Livecycle Server that is on another machine. If I try to connect to it, it succeeds but upon opening a pdf or xdp (basically anything that opens Designer) it gives me an error, "No path to XDP file input".

I'm not sure if its a bug because, if I just change the Server Name in the "Connect To.." dialog to anything other than "localhost" while leaving the actual address the same, it will give me the exact same error. I can still edit processes but I'm unable to do anything that uses Designer.

Any help with this issue is greatly appriciated

Is Designer installed on the remote machine?

That's not exactly what I meant. How was Designer installed? Stand-alone or with Workbench?

I'm not sure, I think it was installed separate. I fixed the issue by reinstalling them seperately and applying the updates to workbench/designer. Everything works like it should now
