Flex Client Application

This step is a part of the Setup Checklist for Flex Client.

 

Web applications are created under websites in SMC.

  • For a local IIS deployment, do these steps on the Desigo CC server station.
  • For a remote IIS deployment, do these steps on the separate Client/FEP station that hosts the IIS server.
  • (Recommended if the web service is under different website) The web service URL is copied to the clipboard. To do this, select Websites > [website] > [web service] and, in the Web Application Details expander, click Copy URL.
  1. In SMC, select Websites > [website].
    This can be the same website under which you created the web service, or a different one. The URL of the website will determine the URL of the Flex Client application that users must enter in their browsers (highlighted in yellow in the image below).
  1. Click and select Create Flex Client Application.
  1. In the Server Information expander:
  • If you are working on the Desigo CC server station (local IIS), the Server name field is read-only.
  • If you are working on an Installed Client / FEP (remote IIS), in the Server name field enter the host name of the Desigo CC station.
  1. In the Flex Client Information expander, next to Web Services URL, select the previously configured web service from the drop-down list, or paste its URL into the field.
  1. In the Web Application Details expander:
  • Enter a Name for the Flex Client application.
  • The User and Password fields are pre-filled to those of the website user.
  1. Click Save , and click OK to start creating the application.

 

You can test the web application using the URL link:

  • If you click the link, the Flex Client login page will display.
  • This URL must also be reachable from the networked client stations where you want to run Flex Client (see next section).
