Local Application
Installation
Local installation of eWater Run Manager requires the following additional software to be installed:
- eWater Source version 4.5.0 or later
- .NET Core 2.1 Runtime & Hosting Bundle
eWater Run Manager is distributed as a ZIP file that should be extracted to your local drive: eWaterRunManager_419.zip
Configuration
The eWater Run Manager application contains a number of sub-directories. Two of these, the Agent and Run Manager sub-directories, contain configuration files called appSettings.json. These files can be opened in a text editor and allow you to configure the Run Manager settings.
The default settings are already configured for local use, however the user will need to specify or review the eWater Source installation directory setting. This setting is the SourceDirectory setting in the Agent's appSettings.json configuration file. Generally, all other settings should be left at their default values. The Run Manager will need to be restarted for configuration changes to take effect.
