CIMPLICITY Configuration

 On the Web Server computer, configure Windows-based security or Standard CIMPLICITY


security for CIMPLICITY.
 Make sure the same security is configured for both the CIMPLICITY Server and Webspace
Servers.

 Make all of the paths (with their folders) that will be shared for the Web Clients read-only.
This will avoid running into the Microsoft’s limitation for sharing files.
 On the CIMPLICITY Server, to publish a web page for a CIMPLICITY CimView screen, right-
click the CIMPLICITY Options application and run as Administrator. On the Proficy Webspace
tab, click the "Create a Web Page" button. The next dialog box allows you to select the
screen that you want and creates a web page for it; if it does not pick up the default
Webspace directory to place the html file in, you will need to enter it. If it's an Apache server,
you will need to browse to the location of the Apache Server; by default, the Apache Server
location is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\
ProficyWebspace."
 Run the CimView screen(s) natively in Cimview.exe on the Webspace Server to ensure proper
Viewer-to-Server communications are established. Since your CIMPLICITY project server(s)
are most likely remote to the Webspace Server, it is highly recommended that CIMPLICITY
Deployment is configured to synchronize files with the Webspace Server (and keep them up-
to-date).
 Do not use shared CimView screens. If you do, every client that connects will need to create
their own share, which could run the server out of resources. This could increase the time it
takes a user to log in, and could make the server fail.
 A separate CimView.exe and CimLayout.exe session runs for each Webspace session with
CIMPLICITY.
 For the CIMPLICITY Windows Desktop Client, be sure that the command line parameter "-r"
specifies the command line parameters for CIMVIEW. For example, -r CIMVIEW "C:\
MyProject\screens\MyScreen.cim" will open the correct screen, as long as -r comes after the
-a parameter, and all the other parameters are correct. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\
Proficy\Proficy Webspace Client\Client\Proficy.exe" -h MyServer -c -a CimView -r CIMVIEW
"c:\screens\userscreen.cim"
 Do not configure the Webspace machine for Power Save or Lock; either feature can block
Web Clients from connecting or cause them to lose an active connection.
 If the session has been configured to Zoom to Best fit, the CimView screen will fit into the
ActiveX container. The ActiveX container will conform to the Internet Explorer size when the
URL is accessed.
 The ActiveX Control or plug-in fits into the size of the browser when the URL is accessed; the
size does not change when you resize the browser. Therefore, make sure the browser is the
size you want before you go to the URL that will start the Webspace session.
 Make sure in a redundant SCADA server setup, that the primary and secondary servers are
separate from the Webspace server.
 Optionally, in the Webspace Admin Console, configure printer options and other session
properties. For more information, refer to the online help for the Webspace Admin Console.
 If you want to configure multiple input locales for your web sessions, add the input language
and keyboard layout for that locale to the Regional Settings on the Webspace Server. For
more information, refer to the online help for the Webspace Admin Console.

 On the Web Server computer, configure Windows-based security or Standard CIMPLICITY


security for CIMPLICITY.
