Change an InTouch application to an InTouchView application

You can change an InTouch application to an InTouchView application if the application only needs to connect to data from an Application Server or InTouch Tag Server. Some WindowMaker functions are unavailable in an InTouchView application.

Change an InTouch application to an InTouchView application

1. Open the InTouch application in WindowMaker.

2. On the File menu, highlight Configure, and then select WindowViewer.

   The WindowViewer configuration screen appears.

3. In the Application type tab, select the InTouchView application checkbox.

   

   • To connect to data from a Galaxy, select Galaxy.

   • To connect to data from InTouch Tag Servers, select InTouch Tag Server.

4. On the Home menu, in the Tags group, select Access Names.

   1. If you select Galaxy, you must remove all Access Names other than Galaxy before converting an InTouch application to InTouchView. If they are not removed, a message is shown during the conversion attempt.

   2. If you select InTouch Tag Server, you can configure new access names.
      Select Add, and provide the Access Name and Node Name.

      The Application Name and Topic Name are grayed out. All Access Names other than Galaxy or referencing to InTouch Tag Server must be removed prior to changing this application to InTouchView. Only I/O references from access name(s) where Application is configured as view will be binded, I/O reference from access name Galaxy will not be binded.

   3. Select OK.

      For more information on configuring Access Names, see Set up access names.

5. Select Close.

6. Select OK. When a message appears, select OK.
