In hybrid integration, an on-premises Integration Server uses a tenant connection to share account and application information with IBM webMethods Cloud. Specifically, the tenant connection enables communication between the on-premises Integration Server and the tenant in IBM webMethods Cloud.

A tenant alias contains the location and login details needed for the on-premises Integration Server to establish a connection with IBM webMethods Cloud. An on-premises Integration Server can have multiple tenant aliases.

Each account on an on-premises Integration Server is associated with one tenant alias. A single tenant alias can be associated with multiple accounts.

An on-premises Integration Server contains a pre-defined tenant alias named “default”. The default tenant alias can be edited to specify different credentials and a different URL for the IBM webMethods Cloud server. However, the default tenant alias cannot be deleted.

When an Integration Server is registered as a webMethods Edge Runtime, Integration creates a tenant alias named EdgeRuntime_EdgeRuntimeName on the Integration Server.
