Deployment View

Deployment view shows instances only in terms of their assignment relationships. This view enables you to organize those objects through a folder structure.

The tree structure acts like a standard Windows Explorer tree. It is initially divided into two levels: <Galaxy Name> and the Unassigned Host folder.

In the Deployment view, objects appear in a tree according to their distribution relationships in a multi-node system in the following ways:

• The top of the tree is the Galaxy.

• WinPlatforms are shown under the Galaxy.

• Under each WinPlatform, assigned AppEngines are listed.

• Under each AppEngine, assigned Areas and objects configured to communicate with PLCs, RTUs, etc. such as OPCClient objects, are listed.

  Note: DINetwork Objects, such as ABCIP and SIDIRECT, have been deprecated. Use an OPCClient object instead.

• Under each Area, assigned ApplicationObjects are listed.

• Under each ApplicationObject, contained ApplicationObjects are listed. Multiple levels are allowed.

• Unassigned objects are grouped together in the Unassigned Host folder. Area and containment relationships are maintained in this view.
