Server Management Node

Server Management is where you can manage a variety of server functions. When you expand the Server Management node, you can do the following:

  • From Control Services, you stop and start the Proficy Server services, debug a Proficy Server service or Plant Applications model.

  • From Troubleshoot Services, you view valuable information about the Proficy Server, such as current activity and pending tasks.

  • From Administer Licensing, you can find out which modules and interfaces you are licensed to use and the number of licensed users.

  • From Administer Web Server, you open the Web Server Administrator where you configure Web Server users and Web reports.

  • From Administer Web Parts, you open the Web Part Administrator where you configure Web Parts.

  • From Administer FTP Engine, you configure the Proficy Server FTP Engine service, which monitors specific directories for files which it then sends to a specified host or gets from a specified host. File Transfer Protocol (ftp) is used for scheduled interfaces and for transferring reports between the Report Engine and Web Server.

  • From E-Mail Engine Configuration, you create email groups and users to be automatically notified of events for the Proficy Server Services, for Alarms, and other system events and triggers.

  • From Historian Connections, you add and manage historians.
