Preferences Administration GUI

This topic describes how to use the Preferences Administration GUI to define your Spatial Management Client and build time preferences for Location Awareness Services for WebSphere® Premises Server.

It is necessary to define your preferences only once per server installation instance for the installation entries.

Open the Preferences Administration GUI by opening the following URL: http://fully_qualified_host_name/Tracking GUI/AtlasPrefsAdmin.html

Spatial Management Client

The Spatial Management Client is a monitoring application that polls every n seconds for new data in a defined area, as specified in the prefsV3.xml file. The default value is to poll every second.
Note: Some browser functions are not supported. For example, using the Back, Forward, and Refresh buttons in the browser can lead to inconsistent displays of areas, tags, and menu options.
Before setting your preferences, update the http_root\htdocs\en_us\Tracking GUI\xml\prefsV3.xml file with the IP address or fully qualified host name of your Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server server. Doing so automatically updates some of the Build time fields.
Note: When you update, ensure that you merge the contents of the old prefsV3.xml file, rather than simply replacing the previous contents. The list must be consistent with the related tables in the Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server database.
Define your preferences in the Preferences Administration GUI by entering information in the following Build time fields:
Note: Make sure you define your preferences and set your area, icon, and overview scale values correctly before you create zones.

Build time

Build time preferences are defined only when a new area or subarea is added. These preferences determine how the areas, zones, and resources display in the Spatial Management Client.

The other parameters on the Preferences Administration GUI are described in the section about installing the Spatial Management Client.
