Configuration
The Source Cloud application contains a number of sub-directories. Two of these, the Agent and Source.Web sub-directories, contain configuration files called appSettings.json. These files can be opened in a text editor and allow you to configure the Source Cloud settings. Generally, the only setting that the user will need to modify is the eWater Source installation directory, which is located in the Agent's appSettings.json configuration file.
Source Cloud settings file:
{ "BaseUrl": "http://localhost:5051", "MaxLocalAgents": 4, "LocalAgentExe": "..\\Agent\\SourceCloudAgent.exe", "TimeseriesCycleCreatorExe": "..\\..\\TimeseriesCycleCreator\\TimeseriesCycleCreator.exe" }
- BaseUrl - The browseable URL for the local version of Source Cloud
- MaxLocalAgents - The maximum number of Source instances to be running for a given job
- TimeseriesCycleCreatorExe - The location of the executable for the TSCC
Agent Settings file:
{ "PollingPeriodMs": "10000", "ServerBaseUrl": "http://localhost:5051", "SourceDirectory": "C:\\Source\\Source_4.5.0.7410\\" }
- PollingPeriodMs - How often agent will poll the server requesting for a job/task
- ServerBaseUrl - The URL to contact the server on
- SourceDirectory - The directory containing the version of Source to run Back slashes must be escaped with a double slash (\\)
Launch Local Cloud
Launch the Local Cloud application by SourceCloud.exe, which is located in the /SourceCloud directory. This will launch the Local Cloud application in your default web browser.
Your web browser may cache old versions of the Source Cloud website and fail to update when you run a new version. To ensure that this does not happen, always do a 'hard refresh' on the Source Cloud webpage after installing a new version. In Firefox and Chrome, the shortcut for a hard refresh is Ctrl-F5.
