Overview

Currently, the UEC Client Applications can be run only as Windows applications.

To run a client application as a Windows application, you must first:

  1. Connect to the UEC server on which client applications resides.
  2. Log in to the client application.

Connecting to UEC


From the Windows Start menu, select the UEC Client Application that you want to run. The Connect to Universal Enterprise Controller dialog displays, which lets you connect to a Universal Enterprise Controller server.



Select a connection in the UEC Connections window and click the Connect button. The User Login dialog then displays.

If there are no connections listed, you can create one.

Note

The Connect to Universal Enterprise Controller dialog also lets you Edit and Delete the user-defined UEC connections.

Adding a UEC Connection

Click the Add button on the Connect to Universal Enterprise Controller dialog (see #Connecting to UEC) to display the following dialog, which lets you add a connection.



Step 1

Enter the following information:

  • Name to be associated with the connection
  • IP Address (or hostname)
  • Port (UEC port)
     

Step 2

Check Default Connection if you want this connection to be selected automatically the next time that you run the selected UEC Client Application.
 

Step 3

Click Save to save the connection permanently and redisplay the Connect to Universal Enterprise Controller dialog, which displays this new connection (see #Connecting to UEC).


Note

The I-Administrator utility and the I-Management Console utility keep separate controller lists.

UEC Connection Information

The UEC Client Applications create a file, uechosts.txt, that contains the UEC connection information, including the user-defined Agent name and the IP address on which UEC is installed. This file is shared by all client applications on UEC.

This file is located in the %appdata%\Universal directory.


Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003

%appdata% resolves to C:\Documents and Settings\userid\Application Data.


Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2

%appdata% resolves to C:\Users\userid\AppData\Roaming.


For all Windows systems, userid is the ID of the user currently logged into Windows.

Logging in to a UEC Client Application


After you connect to Universal Enterprise Controller, the following dialog displays, which lets you log in to the selected client application.



Enter your User Name and Password, and then click the OK button.

The default screen for the selected client application then displays.
