Configure a Web Client Deployment
A web client deployment represents the implementation of a Citect SCADA 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 Citect SCADA Runtime data is generated.
The web client deployments that are 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 web 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 web deployment depends on the permissions granted by your log in. For example, if you log in as a , you can only view a web deployment. If you are an administrator, you can edit a web deployment 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)
|

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.
