Opening Web Application

Before getting started with the web application, check the following settings:

Determine settings for the repository connection using the desktop application at the web application server: Open Foresight Analytics Platform , click the Settings button, and in the dialog box that opens, go to theRepositories tab. On setting up parameters of the server repository, make sure to select the Anyone Who Uses This Computer checkbox.

NOTE. On using Linux OS repository connection is set up via the registry.

Make sure that the PP.xml file, which indicates the repository, to which the users connect on logging in to the web application, is created at the BI server, and other basic settings are determined.

Check if the path to the BI server is specified correctly in the PP.xml file.

When opening the web application, connection is established to the repository that is set in the PP.xml file or in web application address bar parameters.

To connect the repository specified in the PP.xml file, specify web application URL of the following type in the browser:

http://<workstation>/fp_App_v9.2/app/welcome.html

To connect to any repository, which settings are determined at the BI server, specify web application URL of the following type in the browser:

http://<workstation>/fp_App_v9.2/app/welcome.html?repo=FPRepository

Where:

PPserver. The name of the workstation that hosts the web application.
fp_App_v9.2. Name of the virtual directory that stores the web application.
PPRepository. Description identifier of the repository, to which the connection is established.

If password or domain authentication is used for connection, the login.html page opens, on which specify repository user or domain user credentials and click the Login button. If the connection is successful, the welcome.html page opens again, and a start page opens that is used to access repository objects.

If the integrated domain authentication is used, the login.html page does not open, and the connection is established under the current operating system user. If a connection under a repository user is required on integrated domain authentication, specify login.html instead of welcome.html in the address bar.

NOTE. By default, the web application reuses sessions with the repository if several connections are established under the same user. The session reuse mode can be set up in the PP.xml file.
