Creating and Updating an ESP Connection

Connect your RTView projects to ESP. Connection information is stored in an ESPOPTIONS.ini configuration file. Your projects can share a common ESPOPTIONS.ini file in the lib directory or be placed in separate files.

1. Create a new project or open an existing one.
   For Windows:
   • To create a new project, create a file folder.
   • To open an existing project, select Start > Run > Open and type in cmd to open a command prompt.
   For Unix:
   • To create a new project, create a file folder.
   • To open an existing project, open a terminal window.
2. Start the project in the RTView Display Builder:
   Windows:

   %RTVIEWADAPTER_HOME%\bin\start_builder.bat <project_filepath> [<rtv_file_name>.rtv]

   UNIX:

   $RTVIEWADAPTER_HOME/bin/start_builder.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 an existing dashboard project. If you are creating a new .rtv file (project), do not supply a file name as the RTView Display Builder opens into a blank dashboard project called unnamed.rtv. You can then save this file into your newly created dashboard project folder using a name of your choice.
   Note: On Windows, if you type the start builder command by using the project folder argument without a file name, it looks for a file named "<projectfolder>.rtv". If such a file does not exist in the folder, a message displays stating that the file cannot be opened. Click OK to launch the builder. This is a known RTView issue.
3. In the RTView Display Builder, select Tools > Options.
4. In the left pane of the Application Options window, choose ESP.
5. Create a new ESP connection or edit an existing one:
   • To create a new connection, in the ESP Connections tab, click Add.
   • To edit an existing one, double-click the connection.
6. Fill in the appropriate connection information and click OK.
7. Click Apply, then Save to save the connection information in the ESPOPTIONS.ini configuration file.
   • Click Yes if you want to save this file under the lib directory of your RTView install and make these options be available for any RTView project.
   • Click No if you want to save this file under the current project's directory make these options be available only for the current project.

• Event Stream Processor Parameters
  Parameters that you can specify within the ESPOPTIONS.ini configuration file to create a connection to Event Stream Processor.
• Encrypting the RTView Adapter Password
  If the isEncrypted property in the ESPOPTIONS.ini file is set to true, encrypt the RTView adapter password.
