SkySpark:

Note

Periscope works on the latest version of SkySpark version 3.0 at the time of writing. It's possible the old 2.0 style apps (such as extensions/settings) may change in later versions, if so, please see Skyspark documentation on enabling extensions.

Installing Periscope Pod file

  • Copy the periscopeExt.pod file distributed by Activelogix into the lib/fan directory of the SkySpark installation

It's important that the host this pod is installed on matches up with the host ID that was licensed. You may find your skyspark Host ID in the diagnostics tab of the debug app.

Info

Enabling this extension will automatically use the existing Folio database and create the necessary periscope tagged records for operation. Disabling this extension will not remove these records. Refer to the record with the periscopeMeta


Installing License File

The Periscope license file is not a normal Niagara license and needs to be installed separately.  The license can be automatically "fetched" from our licensing server as long as the Niagara server has access to the internet.
