Deploy Movicon NExT Project for HTML/Web Client

Url address for IIS

The Deploy Web address of the server to which the client must point to.  Specifies the URL address which must be digited in the Client browser to display the application's "Main Web Page".

Application Name

Name of the virtual directory to create for the Web Server. It also allows you to replace the name of the deploy URL folder if need be.

Deployment path

The deploy physical path.  Indicates the folder in which the deploy web files are available from.

Application Pool

Name of pool with which the web application will be started up.  The pool defines the user context within which the Web application is executed and which is necessary, for example, for any eventual access to the SQL Server database managed by the Server project.

Identity

User identity used for the pool. User identity is needed when wishing to access those services outside the project on the server and that request it, such as obtaining access to data on a SQL Server Database.  Therefore, if the Web application requests access to a database, it will need to be executed in a pool context with a user idenity which is known to the database within which it has been defined.  

Generally, Identity names created for default are proposed  and therefore already exist in the Database as Access Authorization Identity.  Otherwise, in order to access the contents of a database over the web, you will need to specify an Identity that has been defined in that database on the Server.  To verify and/or enter user identities in a SQL Server database, you will need to run the SQL Server Management Studio.

Proposed users are those which are normally standard and default users:  

"LocalSystem","LocalService","ApplicationPoolIdentity","NetworkService".

Otherwise you can indicate a  "SpecificUser" (user set as pleased and already defined as one of the users granted access to the DB).   

Data Grid Sources

This permits you to set the connection string to the DB which the indicated object will use, in this case the Data Grid, extracting data.

Data Analysis Sources

This permits you to set the connection string to the DB which use the indicated object will use, in this case the Data Analysis, for extracting data.

Dashboard Sources

This permits you to set the connection string to the DB which the object will use, in this case the DashBoard, for extracting data.

Disable Create New Dashboard

Disables the possibility to create new Dashboards.

Disable Dashboard Designer

Disables the Dashboard editor.

Show Project Title

Shows the application name in the web page (see point 1 in screenshot above)

Logo File Path

This property allows you to specify the path of an image to use as a logo in the startup page in Tile Page mode instead of the default Movicon logo.

The Logo path must be a path relating to the application.  For IIS security reasons no other folder can be accessed unless explicitly configured to do so.  Therefore, to simplify things, the image file must be copied manually to the application folder or one of its sub folders.  For example, when deploying the 'TestProject', it will be downloaded in the “wwwroot” with the following path:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestProject

At this point, if we insert the “CustomLogo.png” image in the application's 'Images' sub folder:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestProject\Images\CustomLogo.png

The relative path will be inserted in the Logo File Path property:

Images\CustomLogo.png

Shows the screen navigator side panel in the web pages (see point 2 in above screenshot)

Show Header

Shows the toolbar in the web pages (see point 3 in above screenshot)

Show user register link

Shows the "Log In|Register" link in the web pages (see point 4 in above screenshot)

Disable Pop-up Screen

Disables screens opened as pop-ups.

Use Background image for static objects

Activating this option will set all static objects, that are not dynamic,  as background image.  All the other objects that are dynamic will be handled as usual.  In case where you wish to extract a static object from the background image, you will need to activate the 'Force as Dynamic on WebClient' property.

Session Timeout

Inactitivity time in seconds after which client session will be considered as expired freeing a WebClient license.

Refresh Polling Time

Refresh time of dynamic objects on screen in milliseconds.

When the "Use background image for static objects" property is activated, only the dynamic objects will be refreshed.  Otherwise the whole screen will be refreshed.

Refresh Polling Time Count

This represents the number of dynamic objects to be controlled when the time set in the 'Refresh Polling Time' property expires.

At each 'Refresh Polling Time Count', the web server application will control and notify connected web clients whether each dynamic object has changed position or image or not.

Delay Broadcaster

This is used to manage broadcasts from the server to the client.

Objects that change status are listed and notified to clients after this delay time expires.

Concurrent rendering pipeline

Represents the maximum number of concurrent graphics updates admitted in the web server application for dynamic objects on screens.  

This value represents a maximum value independently from the number of web clients connects.

Software Rendering  

Disables the hardware acceleration to render graphics.

Low Resolution

Uses low resolution images.

Publish

This button is used to publish the HTLM5 web applications.

Update project

This button is used to update the published web application when changes are made to the project files.

Open Browser

Test Button that excutes the opening of the published HTML5 web project using the browser predefined in the operating system.  The test may require that the data server be started up in runtime.

Close

Exit button.
