DeskTop UI

[upen1326]

Hi,
We just upgraded to 3.15 and would like to utilise DeskTop UI feature, we have managed to made connection but can't change default path.
it takes us straight to default panel rather then our project panel.
can some one suggest how to configure settings on config to see my project panel.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

in config file in [webClient] section it is possible to set the rootPanel.
rootPanel "/.pnl"
--> Defines the start-up panel for the UI. If the config entry is not set, the login.pnl is displayed.

with best regards,
Andreas

Andreas,
Thanks for your quick reply, I have included below path under webClient file, It has made some changes from default panel to now blank panel.
Still unable to bring my Test panel.
So not sure what other config needs to be implemented to get this feature running.
Once again thank you for your kind help.

[webClient]
rootPanel = "DeskUI/Panels/Testing.xml"

The path must be relative path to the "panels" folder.
If your panels is saved in /panels there is no need to define a path you just have to define the filename.

The Desktop UI can be used in redundant systems.
In the configuration dialog for the projects you have to define at which server the HTTP server is running.
The UI reads the connection information defined in the config file and connects then to both WinCC OA servers (Data/Event Manager).

Thanks for the quick reply, also wondering Thick and Thin client features, if I had to use Desktop UI then how do I implement those features through Desktop UI ?

The Desktop-UI can only be used for the visualization.
If you want to make a configuration using the graphical editor (GEDI) or the Para module you have to make a full installation of WinCC OA.

Hi Leopold Knipp,
You mention on your reply The Desktop UI can be used in redundant systems.
We have made connection to both Server with standalone standard project but when we tried implementing redundant Project it didn't work.
When we checked the log file on Desktop UI cache folder there were 3 folders missing-- they are ( bin, panels & scripts ) also we have certain errors mentioned below in log file WCCOAui0.log.
