CIMPLICITY deployment can be instructed when an updated CimView file should be reloaded on a selected Viewer, in order to insure the integrity of a screen that is currently running in CimView.

Important: The reload_mode parameter does not affect the server configuration file, . When the server configuration file changes, it is automatically copied to the local directory irregardless of the reload_mode setting.

1. Expand Deployment Configuration>Viewers> <Selected Viewer> in the CIMPLICITY Configuration Editor left pane.

2. Select CimView.

Available parameters are as follows.

1	Idle reload time
2	Screen reload mode

 

1	Idle reload time

Idle reload time:

Is used when the notify option is selected for the screen reload mode.

Provides a gauge that CimSync uses to determine when it should automatically copy CimView files from the viewer's temporary folder to its local folder(s)  even though the selection is to initially notify the user. This feature insures that the viewer remains up-to-date when it is idle.

Is the number of seconds that CimView must be completely idle after CimSync sends a request to copy files and does not receive a response.

The actual number of seconds that the CimView files remain in the temporary folder before they override notify and are automatically copied to the local folders depends on several factors, including:

Delay before copying time.

Idle reload time.

When new files are added to the server's deployment folder.

Actual time in the deployment cycles that the screen goes idle.

Default: 600 seconds

Important: When the reload mode is set to Notify and when only the configuration file on the server changes the following happens.

1. The configuration file is automatically copied to Viewer

Important: When the reload mode is set to Notify and when the configuration file on the server changes the following happens.

1. The configuration file is automatically copied to the Viewer

2. A prompt displays.

Confirming the prompt accepts all environment changes that CimSync performs.

When the new configuration file is accepted a re-sync with the server will be performed to pull down any new files specified in the new configuration file.

3. The change in the local configuration file restarts the monitoring after reading the changed configuration file.

2	Screen reload mode

Screen reload mode options are:

Auto

CimSync automatically copies the files to the local directory during synchronization after the number of seconds determined by the Delay before copying parameter value.

Note: It is recommended that auto reload be used if CimView is running in Terminal Services sessions or WebView.

Notify

CimSync:

1. Notifies the Viewer's user that new files have been in the temporary folder after the Delay before copying seconds have elapsed.

2. Asks the user if it can copy the files into the local folder(s).

Result: Exactly when CimSync copies the files from the temporary folder into the local folder depends on the following conditions.

Delay before copying time.

Idle reload time.

When new files are added to the server's deployment folder.

Actual time in the deployment cycles that the screen goes idle.

Default: auto
