Deploying and Running an Application

You can deploy and test your objects at any time during development. When you are ready to test or run the application in production, you deploy the Galaxy.

You can see what your application looks like in the Deployment view or the Model view. Both views show you the structure of your application. For more information, see IDE Application Views.

A simulation server, derived from the $OPCClient Device Integration system object, is included with Galaxies created from the Default.cab file. The simulator can be imported to or created for other Galaxies. Use the simulator to test a Galaxy prior to deployment.

When you create a Galaxy from the Default.cab file, the Galaxy's assets are automatically assigned to the simulator's Fast scan group. When you have completed testing and created new Device Integration objects, move the assets from the simulator to scan groups within the new DI objects.
