Overview of Webspace with Configuration Hub

Use the Webspace widget along with other Operations Hub widgets for better consolidation and visualization of data.

Limitations

Be aware of the following limitations when using the iFIX HMI Webspace Plugin with Operations Hub and Configuration Hub:

The Webspace Server should not be installed on a Failover pair, or on the Operations Hub server or Configuration Hub server.
Webspace sessions require credentials for logging into the windows server Webspace is running on.
When Webspace sessions are started, the iFIX Default Project Node Name get updated with the last run iFIX Project Node Name/SCU file. Since you cannot update or start an iFIX with a specific Node Name from Configuration Hub, you should manually start iFIX in this instance. To start iFIX with correct Node Name manually, use the iFIX Startup screen (and not Configuration Hub).
