Launch a ViewApp using the connected experience

If your installation uses AVEVA Operations Control and the connected experience for user authorization and security, follow these steps to start an OMI ViewApp.

To launch a ViewApp using the connected experience

1. Show the desktop of the computer where the ViewApp is deployed.

2. Select the AVEVA OMI Application Manager desktop shortcut.

   AVEVA OMI Application Manager appears with an alphabetic list of ViewApps deployed on the computer.

   

   For more information about the fields of the AVEVA OMI Application Manager, see New Topic (59).

3. Select LAUNCH for the ViewApp you want to run.

   • Already signed in (Single Sign On): If you are already logged in to another ViewApp or other AVEVA product that uses Operation Control connected experience, you are logged in to the ViewApp automatically using Single Sign-on.

   • Not yet signed in: If you are not already logged in to a product that uses Operation Control connected experience, a browser window opens for you to enter your user name and password. The browser window is either the System Platform embedded browser or your default browser, depending on what which authentication option has been configured for the System Management Server.

After you successfully log in, the ViewApp opens. Your user name is shown near the right side of the titlebar in the ViewApp (but only if the ViewApp includes the OMI TitleBarApp).

If you have a problem logging in (authentication or entitlement failure)

• Make sure your internet connection is working.

• If user authentication fails, the ViewApp opens in read-only mode after you click OK. In read-only mode,

• If entitlement fails, you will see a message that a valid subscription could not be found. After you click OK, the ViewApp opens in read-only mode. In this mode, you cannot interact with the ViewApp (for example, to change a setpoint or to acknowledge an alarm); you can only monitor what the ViewApp is showing.

Corrective action

If you receive an authentication error message, repeat the log in procedure, being sure to enter your user name and password correctly. If you still cannot sign in, contact your AVEVA Connect administrator.

If you receive an entitlement error message, there may be a problem with your AVEVA subscription. Contact your AVEVA Connect administrator.

Implementing SSO in your ViewApp

OMI ViewApps leverage the Security.LoggedInUserSsoToken property. OMI Apps consume the user access token via the SDK using security attributes. These attributes are updated whenever the token is refreshed by a user signing in or out.
