InTouch Web Client fast switch

During the development of the application you can use the Web Client Fast Switch feature to toggle between WindowMaker and the InTouch Web Client.

• To use the Web Client Fast Switch feature, select the Web Client button in InTouch WindowMaker.

Any changes in WindowMaker will reflect automatically on the Web Client, if the same application is being edited in WindowMaker and viewed in the Web Client. For automatic refresh to work, only one application can be edited and viewed at a time. The InTouch Web page refreshes to the symbol previously displayed. If WindowViewer is run for another application, then the Web Client page will automatically switch to that application.

• You can specify the Graphic Refresh Rate from the Configurator. By default the polling rate is 1000 milliseconds.

• You can also specify the Alarm Refresh Rate from the Configurator. By default the polling rate is 1000 milliseconds.

Alarm Refresh Rate should be greater than the Graphic Refresh Rate, and the value of the Graphic Refresh Rate should be less than 180 seconds.

Note: To enable the InTouch Web Client to run in Fast Switch mode while editing a Managed InTouch application from a remote IDE, first configure the InTouch Web Windows service to run as a user account that is a member of the aaConfigTools user group, in both the GR and Remote IDE machines. For more information, refer to Application Server User documentation.

For a given InTouch application, the Web Client fast switch button in WindowMaker is disabled by default. The button is automatically enabled when the application is run in WindowViewer.

Note: The web client fast switch feature is available:
- only during development,
- only on the computer with InTouch WindowMaker and InTouch WindowViewer installed,
- only on a web browser accessing the Web Client pointing to http://localhost/InTouch in the URL.
