Project Auto Start

[chandra]

Hello Everyone

How to Run the project automatically after system power on every time?

[leoknipp]

You can find information how to start WinCC OA in the WinCC OA documentation:
Installation --> Windows --> WinCC OA as service
Installation --> Linux --> WinCC OA as service

Hi
I am trying to do the same(auto start) but the UI is not display even if it shows "running" on the project console.
If I click manually on the WCCOAui.exe shortcut it works. It works as well if I put the WCCOAui.exe shortcut on the "startup" folder.

Any help?

Best regards,
Antonio

When you start the pmon as a service it runs within a different session than your logged in user. If you then start the UI via Console, it tells the pmon to start the UI, resulting in an UI started in the same different session than the pmon. This UI is for you not visible.

This is perfectly normal and as designed by the operating system for security reasons. In such case, running the UI on the OA server with a shortcut is best practice.

Hi,

You can put also your UI exe with good parameters inside:

C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup

Thus it will start automatically.
