If you are using a ViewX client that has multiple instances (see ViewX Command Line Arguments), you can configure each instance to access a different server. To do this, you need to configure each instance to use a different Systems.xml file.
For example, if you have a client with two instances, and you want Instance 1 to access a system named "CPLX 1" and you want Instance 2 to access a server named "CLPX 2", you need to create an additional XML file called "SystemsCPLX2.xml". Instance 1 will use the default Systems.xml file and Instance 2 will use the newly created SystemsCPLX2.xml file.
To configure each instance to use different Systems.xml files, you need to amend the shortcuts for your instances (you should have a desktop shortcut for each instance). For each shortcut, you need to add:
/Systems:"<Filename>"
Where <Filename> is the full location and name of the Systems.xml file that is to be used by the head.
Example:
A shortcut is created for Instance 1. The shortcut is configured to have the following Target:
"C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\ClearSCADA\SE.Scada.ViewX.exe" /Instance:1
When selected, the shortcut will cause an instance of ViewX to run. The instance of ViewX will use the default Systems.xml file as no other Systems.xml file has been specified in the shortcut.
A shortcut is created for Instance 2. The short;cut is configured to have the following Target:
"C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\ClearSCADA\SE.Scada.ViewX.exe" /Instance:2 /Systems:"E:\SystemsCPLX2.xml"
When selected, this second shortcut will cause a second instance of ViewX to run using the SystemsCPLX2.xml file that is defined in the Target instead of the default Systems.xml file.
