<li>The fully qualified DNS name or IP address of the host machine where the

the server to keep the development workspace clean. Displaying the metadata
of the server on the workbench, allows you to persists the data of the server
in a <em>serverName</em>.server file, where <em>serverName</em> is the name assigned
to the server. The <em>serverName</em>.server file is useful when you are working
in a team development environment and you are required to maintain the metadata
of the server in a source control repository.</p>
To display the metadata of
the server:</div>
