If you are working on a WebX client, you can display Mimics that contain hyperlinks to displays on multiple systems. For example, you may display a Mimic that contains one hyperlink to an item that is stored on the system on which you are working and another hyperlink to an item that is stored on a different system.
However, if a Mimic contains hyperlinks to displays on another system, the hyperlinks will only work if:
- A WebX client license is available for use on the server on which the 'target' display is located (see Understanding the License Details Window)
- The appropriate Cross-Database Hyperlinks settings are in place (see below).
The Cross-Database Hyperlinks settings allow you to specify the node name and port numbers of the server that contains the 'target' display. With the correct settings in place, the ClearSCADA server can use the information contained in the hyperlink to determine which server contains the 'target' display.
To configure the Cross-Database Hyperlinks settings, you need to use the Server Configuration Tool. The appropriate settings have to be in place on the server to which the WebX client(s) connect. There is no special configuration required for the hyperlinks themselves (they are configured in the same way as a hyperlink to a display that is stored on the local system).
For more information on configuring the Cross-Database Hyperlinks settings, see Define the Cross-Database Hyperlinks Settings.
