The Display Viewer Application is a stand-alone Java application.

Running the Display Viewer Application

On Windows
You can start from either the Windows Start Menu or the Command Prompt window.

From the Windows Start Menu:
 

Select Start-->Programs-->Enterprise RTView-->Display Viewer

NOTE: When you start the Display Viewer from the Windows Start menu, it runs from the demos directory. The Display Viewer will try to read initialization (.ini) files and resolve XML sources containing relative paths from that directory. To start the Display Viewer in another directory, you must run Enterprise RTView from a command window. NOTE: It is possible to specify a directory for your initialization files.

In an initialized command window:
 

type run_viewer

On UNIX
In an initialized terminal window:
 

type run_viewer

By default, the Display Viewer requires a login to support role based security. The default user name and password are:

•  User Name: admin
•  Password: admin

In the login dialog, enter your user name and password.

NOTE: If no file is specified on the command line (on Windows or UNIX), the Display Viewer Application will open init.rtv. If the file init.rtv is not found, a blank display will open. Once the Display Viewer Application is open, you can access display files by selecting File>Open.

Java options specified in RTV_JAVAOPTS will be used by the run_viewer scripts. NOTE: These options will not be used when the Display Viewer is started from the Windows Start menu.

Application Options
If initialization files are present in a specified directory, the current directory or in the lib directory (found in your installation directory) they will be used to set application options. See Application Options for more information on creating initialization files.

NOTE: Application options set on the command line will override values in initialization files. See Appendix C for more information on using command line parameters.

View Options
Since editing is not allowed there are no editing dialogs, no toolbar, and menus are limited to File, View, Tools, and Help. To include editing dialogs for viewing only, run the Display Builder with the editing disabled instead of running the Display Viewer. Several options are available to control how you view a display, including multiple display panels.
