Lab 20: Convert to Network Environment

  • Preparation

    • Undeploy your galaxy.
    • Rename the Training toolset, adding your initials to the beginning. In this example, the Training toolset will be renamed ABTraining.
    • Rename all of your template objects, preceding each object name with your initials.
    • For example, Ann Brown’s initials are AB. Ann Brown would rename her Platform template to ABtWinPlatform, her AppEngine template to ABtAppEngine, and so on.
  • Export all your templates to a file called MyTemplates.aaPKG.
  • Export the InControl instance to a file called InControl.aaPKG.
  • If you did Lab 19, then export both the I/O 1 and I/O 2
  • Create a new galaxy named MultiNodeGalaxy.
  • Import the MyTemplates.aaPKG and InControl.aaPKG files.
  • Create an area instance named ControlSystem and assign the InControl object to it.
  • Create a platform instance named ABPlatform where AB is your initials and assign it to the ControlSystem area.
  • Create an engine instance named AppEngineDI and assign it to the ControlSystem area.
  • On the Deployment view:
    • Host AppEngineDI on ABPlatform
    • Host InControl on AppEngineDI
    • Host ControlSystem on AppEngineDI.
  • Deploy the ABPlatform object on cascade.
  • Configure the galaxy’s security Authentication Mode to Galaxy.
  • Create a user account that belongs to the Administrator role for each member of the team

  • Setup the Platforms

  • Import your MyTemplates.aaPKG file.
  • Create a platform instance named ABPlatform where AB is your initials, and configure it with your local computer’s name. Assign it to the ControlSystem area.
  • Deploy the ABPlatform object on cascade.

  • Test the Galaxy

  • Create an area instance named ABLine and host it on your ABAppEngine object, where AB is your initials.
  • Create an instance of your mixer template and name it properly with the valid 3-digit mixer ID at the end (ABMixer_1XX) as identified in Lab 2. Host it on your ABLine area, where AB is your initials.
  • Deploy your ABAppEngine object on cascade, where AB is your initials.
  • Use Object Viewer to verify that all objects are running properly and are getting data from the field.
  • Use the ArchestrA IDE to connect to the MultiNodeGalaxy galaxy in the Galaxy Master’s computer using your designated user account.
  • Create an engine instance named ABAppEngine, assign it to the ControlSystem area and host it on your ABPlatform object, where AB is your initials.
