Starting the RTView Display Viewer

To begin viewing runtime data, start the Display Viewer from the command line.

Prerequisites
Start the ESP project.
Task

Running the Display Viewer from the adapter installation folder in the command line ensures that the Viewer links to the ESP project upon start-up.

SAP recommends that you place each dashboard project in its own folder. You can then start the Display Viewer from this folder.

  1. Create a new project or open an existing one.
    For Windows:
    • Create a file folder for any new project.
    • To open an existing project, select Start > Run > Open and type in cmd to open a command prompt.
    For Unix:
    • Create a file folder for any new project.
    • Open a terminal window.
  2. Start the project in the RTView Display Viewer by typing:
    %RTVIEWADAPTER_HOME%\bin\start_viewer.bat <project_filepath> <rtv_file_name>.rtv
    • <project_filepath> is the absolute file path of the project folder.
    • <rtv_file_name> is the name of the .rtv file of the dashboard. You need to specify this to start the Viewer.
