Installing the Spatial Management Client

This topic contains the steps for installing the Spatial Management Client.

Before you begin
Make sure that you installed the prerequisites for the Spatial Management Client. See Hardware and software requirements.
Procedure
  1. Make sure you installed Adobe® SVG viewer on the system where you will run the user interface. You can download the Adobe SVG viewer from http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html.
  2. Make sure your browser is configured to run Active X plug-ins:
    1. Open your browser.
    2. Select Tools > Internet Options.
    3. On the Security tab, select a zone to change security settings.

      You can choose one of several zones, depending on how you access the Spatial Management Client. For example, if you access the Spatial Management Client using the host name in the URL, then you would modify the Internet zone settings. If you use localhost in the URL, then you would modify the Local intranet zone settings. If you have added the Spatial Management Client URL to the Trusted sites, then you would modify security settings in that zone.

      Be sure to select the zone where WebSphere® Application Server and IBM® HTTP Server are running. Make sure that both domains match the same zone.

    4. In the zone you choose, click Custom level.
    5. Make sure the following settings are correct and click OK:
      • ActiveX controls and plug-ins:

        • Click Enable for Scripting of Java applets.
      • User Authentication:
        • Click Automatic logon only in Intranet zone for Logon.
  3. Open http://host_name_or_IP_address/Tracking GUI/AtlasPrefsAdmin.html and verify that your preferences are set correctly:
    • Host - Enter the IP address or fully qualified host name of your Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Sensor Events server.
    • Port - Enter the port number that WebSphere Application Server listens on.
    • Poll interval: Enter a value to indicate the rate in milliseconds that tag data is requested from the server.
      Note: Changing this value does not affect the frequency at which a tracked item's position is reported to the system. It only affects the frequency with which the GUI is updated.
    • Number of clustering grid rows and columns: Define the number of grids to use for clustering tags. If you have many tags on the screen, overlapping tags can occur. If clustering is set to a value greater than 0, overlapping tags are shown as a cluster icon. This cluster icon can be clicked to open a window showing all tags in the cluster. Ten of those tags can be individually selected.

      The number of grid rows defines how large the grid will be, which is covered by a cluster. For example, a value of 20 means a grid of 20 rows and columns, where all tags in one cell are shown as part of the cluster. A value of 0 turns off clustering, meaning you cannot influence the order of tags from back to front or select individual tags.

    • Click Save Installation Changes to save your changes to the preferences.

      These preference settings will apply each time the user logs in to the Spatial Management Client.

  4. Open the Spatial Management Client using one of the following URLs:
    • http://host_name_or_IP_address/Tracking GUI/AtlasAdmin.html (administration version)
    • http://host_name_or_IP_address/Tracking GUI/AtlasMonitor.html
    Note: The variable host_name_or_IP_address indicates the fully qualified host name or IP address of the machine on which IBM HTTP Server is installed, which is also the Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Sensor Events server. The default port number is 80; however, if a different port number is used, you must specify the new port number (host_name_or_IP_address:port_number).

    For more information about the Spatial Management Client, see the topics on starting the Spatial Management Client.

  5. Ensure that application db2AssetMgmtEAR has been installed and is started in your WebSphere Application Server.
