Configure Operations Control with connected experience

Use the Operations Control Configurator to enable the connected experience.

Configuration workflow

Contact AVEVA to obtain the appropriate subscriptions, set up an CONNECT account, then open the Configurator, available during product installation or from the Windows Start menu. See the linked topics for detailed information about each configuration step in the sequence.

Step 1: Configure license mode. Available modes are: perpetual, flex, Operations Control plus connected experience. Restart the computer.

Note: If you select Operations Control connected experience, you must do so for all nodes in your system.

Step 2: Configure System Management Server (SMS). You can connect to an existing System Management Server (SMS), make your local node the SMS, or proceed without configuring an SMS (not recommended).

Step 3: Configure Federated Identity Provider. You should already have a valid CONNECT account, and you must be an administrator on that account. In this step, you configure "federated" login with CONNECT on any SMS or Redundant SSO (RSSO) machine using the email associated with your CONNECT account.

Step 3a: Configure SMS Advanced, Authentication (optional). Configure authentication using either an embedded browser pop-up dialog or your computer's default browser if one is installed and configured. This step affects single sign on (SSO) behavior with variations between desktop and web-based Operations Control products.

Step 4: Register each installed and licensed product with AVEVA Identity Manager.
