To access the Application Options dialog, in the Display Builder select Tools>Options.

Options specified in the RTVAgent tab can be saved in an initialization file (RTVAGENTOPTIONS.ini). On startup, the initialization file is read by the Display Builder, Display Viewer, Display Server, Data Server and Historian* to set initial values. If no directory has been specified for your initialization files and RTVAGENTOPTIONS.ini is not found in the directory where you started the application, then RTView will search under lib in your installation directory. NOTE: When you start an RTView application from the Windows Start menu, it runs from the demos directory.  

NOTE: Options specified using command line arguments will override values set in initialization files.

*If you are enabling RTVAgent options to utilize the Historian for Alert Persistence, then you must copy the RTVAGENTOPTIONS.ini file to the directory where you will be running the Historian.

RTVAgent Options
This tab allows you to enable connections from remote agent applications.
 
Enabled - Select to enable connections from remote agent applications. By default, this option is disabled. Once enabled, agents can send tabular data and objects can be configured with data attachments using the Attach to RTVAgent Data dialog.

Port Number - Port on which the RTVAgent data adapter will accept agent connections. Default is 5665. Valid port numbers are greater than 1024. NOTE: Only one application at a time can accept connections on a given port.

Use Secure Socket (SSL) - If selected, a secure socket will be used for each agent that makes a direct socket connection to the RTVAgent data adapter. Data is encrypted before transmission over a secure socket. NOTE: This option does not apply to agents that connect indirectly via HTTP and the rtvagent servlet. For secure connections in that case, an HTTPS connection should be used from the agent to the rtvagent servlet.
