Application
Options
Data Server
This Options tab allows you to redirect
data requests to the Data Server.
Once you select to read Data Server data, direct access to data sources
will be disabled. Enterprise RTView clients (Display Builder, Display Viewer
Application, Display Viewer Applet) can read Data Server data from a file,
directly via socket or through the Data Servlet using HTTP/HTTPS requests.
NOTE: Settings
made in this Application Options dialog must correspond with information
entered in the Data Server
Configuration dialog.
Options selected on the Data Server
tab cannot be applied to the current session of Enterprise RTView. Click
the Save button to record all Application Options in an initialization (DATASERVER.ini)
file that will be used to apply settings when Enterprise RTView is restarted.
If
no directory has been specified for initialization files and
DATASERVER.ini
is not found in the directory where you started
the Data Server, then Enterprise RTView will
search under lib in your
installation directory. NOTE: When
you start an Enterprise RTView application from the Windows Start menu, it runs
from the demos directory. Data
Server Modes
By default Enterprise RTView reads
directly from data sources and not from
the Data Server. To configure your default Data Server,
select one of the following three options on this tab.
Select Named Data Servers to
configure connections to additional data servers.
- Do Not Read Data from Data Server
- Read Data from File
- Read Data from Socket (Direct or via HTTP/HTTPS)
Do Not Read Data from Data Server
Reads directly from data sources without
redirecting data requests to the Data Server.
Read Data from File
Redirect data requests to the Data
Server and read XML file output by the Data Server. Once you select Read
Data from File, direct access to data sources, except the XML data
source, will be disabled when you save your options and restart Enterprise
RTView. NOTE: The XML data source is never redirected through the Data
Server when you read data from a file.
Viewer Only - Select this checkbox
if the Display Viewer should read data from the Data Server, but the Display
Builder should read directly from data sources.
File Name - Enter name
(including path or URL base) of the Data Server output file. Default file
name is rtvdata.xml. NOTE: This information must
correspond with the Data Server
Configuration dialog, including name and location of Data Server
output file.
Named Data Servers - Open the Named
Data Servers dialog to configure
connections to additional data servers.
Read Data from Socket (Direct or
via HTTP/HTTPS)
Viewer Only - Select this checkbox
if the Display Viewer should read data from the Data Server, but the Display
Builder should read directly from data sources.
Redirect XML Data Source - This option
only applies once you select Read Data from Socket. Select
from the following options:
|
Do
Not Redirect XML Data Source - XML data is not redirected through the
Data Server. Enterprise RTView will connect to the XML data source directly.
Redirect
XML Sources Without HTTP Prefix - Redirect XML sources that don't start
with http: or https:.
Redirect
All XML Sources - Redirect all XML sources through the Data Server. |
Connection Mode (Direct or via HTTP/HTTPS):
Connect Directly to Socket
Redirect data requests to the Data
Server and receive data directly via socket or through an intermediary
Data Servlet. Using the servlet requires a separate installation process,
see the Data Servlet section
for details.
To connect directly via socket you
must specify a host and port, unless the Data Server is running on the
same host as Enterprise RTView and using the default port (3278). This
information
must correspond with the
Data Server Configuration dialog, including host name and port number.
Data Server Host - host
Data Server Port - 8722
NOTE:
When running the Display Viewer Applet, the Data Server must run on the
same host as the applet. Once you select Read Data from Socket,
direct access to data sources will be disabled when you save your options
and restart Enterprise RTView. NOTE: By default Do Not Redirect XML
Data Source is selected. This enables you to connect directly to the
XML data source while redirecting other data sources.
|
|
Connect via Data Servlet using HTTP
or HTTPS
To connect via the Data Servlet, enter
the full URL for the servlet (where host is web server hosting the servlet
and port is port used by the web server). NOTE: Using HTTPS requires
Java 1.5.0_01+ and the host must be configured for HTTPS.
When running the Display Viewer Applet,
the servlet must run on the same host as the applet. Once you select Read
Data from Socket, direct access to data sources will be disabled when
you save your options and restart Enterprise RTView.
NOTE: By default Do Not Redirect
XML Data Source is selected. This enables you to connect directly to
the XML data source while redirecting other data sources.
Data Server URL - http://host:port/rtvdata
Or to use secure HTTPS:
Data Server URL - https://host:port/rtvdata
|
Named Data
Servers - Opens the Named Data Servers dialog where connections
to additional data servers can be configured.
NOTE: Data Servers are configured by the
DATASERVER.ini file, which is generated from the Data Server, in addition to
all *OPTIONS.ini files, which are generated when you click Save in the
Application Options dialog. When additional Data Servers are configured you
should
specify a directory in which you can
store their respective initialization files so they will not be overwritten.
