After the System Platform installation process finishes running, Configurator starts automatically when you select the Configure button. However, installation is not complete until configuration is complete.
You may need to run the Configurator after installation if you add, change or upgrade System Platform components, your licensing model changes, or you switch to a different authentication/security method.
You can start the Configurator at any time by doing any of the following:
-
From the Windows Start Menu, select AVEVA > Configurator.
-
Launch the Configurator application file from Windows Explorer. The default path is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA\Configurator.exe
Navigate the Configurator interface
The following image depicts the user interface of the Configurator.
