Distributed Redundant Project Access via Web Browser (ULC UX)

Post by nirav.p »

Hi,

I have distributed redundant project setup and would like to access panel remotely via web browser. Project setup is as follow:

Windows Server 2016 Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.2312)
WinCC OA 3.15 P10

WCCOActrl | always | 30 | 2 | 2 |webclient_http.ctl
(Using default port https - 443 & http - 80)

Config Entry:
[webClient]
rootPanel = "Test.xml"
connectToRedundantHosts = 1


While accessing the project via web browser externally using link https://{Server Name}/data/ulc/start.html, it doesn't open the rootPanel defined in the project config file but open WinCC OA Default Login Panel. I have tried to access on the server itself via https://localhost/data/ulc/start.html but ended with the same result. Any idea??


Regards
Nirav Patel

Use the config entry
uiArguments
in the [httpServer] section, e.g.

[httpServer]
uiArguments = "-p myPanel.pnl -iconBar -menuBar"

Thanks for your quick reply Martin.

It works now.

Meanwhile I was testing with the standalone server with standard project and it is working perfectly fine with only [webClient] config entries. Have I missing anything here? or [httpServer] config entry has to be used in distributed redundant project?

The config entry I mentioned is always needed when you use the ULC, since the WebServer starts the UI, passing the arguments from the config to it.
