Integrate application objects with InTouch HMI

A Galaxy is your specific production environment to run your managed InTouch applications. A Galaxy includes all computers and components. It is a collection of platforms, engines, application objects, templates, instances, and attributes you define as the parts of your specific application. This collection is stored in a Galaxy database on a node called the Galaxy Repository (GR).

Application Server manages your InTouch applications with a specific type of application object called the InTouchViewApp application object, which is derived from the $InTouchViewApp base template.

After you derive a new InTouchViewApp template from the $InTouchViewApp base template, you can associate the InTouchViewApp template with an InTouch application by:

• Creating a new InTouch application.

• Importing a stand-alone InTouch application.

An InTouchViewApp template represents one specific InTouch application at design time and cannot be executed at run time.

You deploy an instance of your derived InTouchViewApp template to a target node to run your InTouch applications. The target node is the node on which the managed InTouch application can run in WindowViewer. To distribute your InTouch application, you can create multiple instances of the same InTouchViewApp template and deploy them to multiple nodes.
