Setup Checklist for Mobile App
The mobile app is an Android/iOS client for Desigo CC. This checklist summarizes the steps necessary to set up an existing Desigo CC project to work with the mobile app. For background information see the reference section. Mobile App Deployment Architectures.
If the IIS web server is installed on a separate computer from the Desigo CC server, refer also to Working with a Website and Web Application Management on a Remote IIS System.
Required Extensions
The only extension required to support the mobile app is Web Services. This is a mandatory extension, now included by default in Desigo CC projects.
Optionally, the Connectivity > Push Notifications extension can be added to enhance the notification functionality of the mobile app. See Push Notifications Extension.
Local or Remote IIS
Web applications such as Web Services, Flex Client, and Advanced Reporting are hosted on an IIS web server, which can run on the same computer as the Desigo CC server (local IIS) or on a separate computer (remote IIS) dedicated to that purpose.
The latter solution allows for enhanced security and segregation.
- For a local IIS setup you only require the Desigo CC server station, with IIS enabled on it.
- For a remote IIS setup, in addition to the Desigo CC server station you must configure a separate Installed Client or FEP station, and enable IIS on that machine.
