, you can only
view a deployment. If you are an administrator, you can edit
deployments and create new ones.A deployment represents the implementation of a CitectSCADA project on the Web Server. It incorporates the files and components necessary to display a project, and keeps a record of the location of the servers where CitectSCADA Runtime data is generated.
The deployments configured on a Web Server are listed on the Web Client home page, which is the page that appears when you initially log in. The configuration details for a deployment can be displayed by clicking the small plus (+) icon to the left of the deployment name.
The type of action you can implement for a
deployment depends on the permissions granted by your log in. For
example, if you log in as a View-only
Client, you can only
view a deployment. If you are an administrator, you can edit
deployments and create new ones.
The following list describes the functionality associated with each of the icons presented on the home page.:
|
|
Add New Deployment - takes you to the Deployment Configuration page where you can create a new deployment (Administrator Clients only). |
|
|
Help - displays this help page on how to configure and use the Web Client. |
|
|
Edit Deployment - takes you to the Deployment Configuration page and allows you to edit the selected deployment (Administrator Clients only). |
|
|
Delete Deployment - Deletes the selected deployment (Administrator Clients only). |
|
|
Start Control Client - Displays the selected deployment with Control Client permissions (Control Client and Administrator Client only) |
|
|
Start View-only Client - Displays the selected deployment with View-only Client permissions |
Additionally, the System Messages panel provides notification of events that impact the current status of the Web Server.
Note: The Citect.ini file settings used by a Web Client are taken from the Citect.ini file on the Web Server at the time of connection. This includes which clusters a Web Client has access to. To switch clusters in a project viewed using a Web Client, use the functions ClusterActivate and ClusterDeactivate.
