The periscope service object has many slots (some hidden for less confusion). This is a detailed summary of each slot's purpose and function:
Please note that this is for advanced users with some knowledge of AX development with the purpose of explaining some of the things that aren't otherwise covered in this documentation.
- Status - This is the BStatus component for all objects that inherit the BAbstractService that indicates problems associated with all AX services.
- Fault Cause - This is the fault reason associated with the Periscope Service status. Only important for service level problems in AX.
- Enabled - Not used. Inherited as part of the BAbstractService. Disabling Periscope requires uninstalling the service currently by deleting it.
- Periscope Servlet - URI access to Periscope. Defaults to periscope but can be changed to support alternate URI's. (Example: changing servlet name from "periscope" to "test" would require directing your browser to http://domain/test to access the Periscope dashboard).
- Periscope Config Servlet - Same thing as Periscope Servlet but for Periscope Config. We personally recommend this to be the name of the periscope servlet plus "config" (i.e. periscopeconfig or testconfig if the Periscope Servlet name was "test"). This is because most Periscope Dashboard users expect to access the Periscope Config by appending the word "config" to the end of the URL when using Periscope.
- Circuit Panel Manager - For use with the Energy Insight viewlet.
- EV Manager - For use with the EV Viewlet.
- Solar Manager - For use with the Solar Energy Viewlet.
- Wind Manager - For use with the Wind Energy Viewlet.
- Utility Mapper - For use with the Utility Accounting Viewlet initial setup.
- Dynamic Histories - For use with Virtual Trends & History Groups. No user-configuration necessary.
- Use Backup Host - For use with the EV Viewlet, Solar Energy Viewlet, and Wind Energy Viewlet google maps. Please see their respective wiki pages for why/how this is a work-around for a Google Maps issue.
Internal-only slots that should never be modified and are essential to proper functioning of the dashboard:
- Cross Domain Servlet - Servlet that handles the permissions required to receive content from all Activelogix domains.
- Periscope Logout Servlet - Servlet that handles logging out of the Periscope Dashboard.
- Periscope Api Servlet - Servlet that handles Periscope API calls.
- External Viewlet Servlet - Servlet for allowing external access to viewlets.
- Export Servlet - Servlet that handles exporting of viewlets to CSV or Image file types.
- Export PDF Servlet - Servlet that handles exporting of viewlets to the PDF file type.
- Slideshow Servlet - Servlet that handles the requests for all slideshow-style content such as the GreenTips and Sustainability viewlets.
- Jace Health - Internal tool for monitoring JACE Health when applicable.
