HELP REQUIRED FOR WEB SERVICE 1

[NawazKhurshid]

I have an application Vehicle simulator that has been developed using LabWindows/CVI 6.0 by National Instruments in C language. it is used to simulate projects. The projects are created using different software on remote location by clients and client can simulate these project with Vehicle simulator only if is available on their PC. I want to put this Vehicle simulator application on SERVER so that clients can simulate projects using this application from remote location.

Here are the steps to start simulation

The simulation process is:
- run Simulatore.exe
- menu Config->Open project... to select one project
- menu Simul->Load configuration to load projects
- menu Simul->Start to run the simulation
- menu Simul->Stop to stop the simulation

Now please guide me how to proceed, which server i can use for such kind of setup

THanking you in anticipation

regards

Is this legal? I think you would need a multi-user license on the application software to setup something like that.

 

[NawazKhurshid]

Yes I have license for both software. one used for simulation and the one used to draw models. Actually I am working on this project as developer.

What kind of results does the simulator generate. Do the clients that create the simulations remotely need to access any GUI interface of the simulator?

If no GUI then you could use xml to deliver the simulation and return the results.

If a GUI session is required, I'd suggest looking at setting up a Citrix Presentation server, or using remote desktop connection the the server running the simlator.

yes client require to access the GUI Tool

menu Config->Open project... to select one project
- menu Simul->Load configuration to load projects

client will load the configuration present on their local drive.

- menu Simul->Start to run the simulation
client will start simulation then

- menu Simul->Stop to stop the simulation

client can stop the simulation and the result of simulation will be transferred back to client system.

Can i do the same thing using TOMCAT or any other server, because i need a server that is freely available. I think i can only get the evaluation version of CITRIX server. Can you give link of any tutorial on how to deploy application on Server.

 

[NullTerminator]

Sorry I have no expertise on citrix, other than as a client of several apps.

You can run webservices on Tomcat using Axis. You would have to write webservice interfaces for your simulator, but you would not be able to transfer the GUI across the network. You could send control payloads, and result payloads.

Axis has a couple pretty neat samples.

Sadly, I think you want something more like Citrix, terminal services or remote desktop.

Thanx NullTerminator

you have been a great help, can you provide me some link or tutorial about how to make remote service setup. Tell you more about it MY SImulation tool is connecetd to REAL Hardware and log files are generated as results. These files must transfer back to clients PROJECT folder on clients PC. I told you that client select PROJECT folder on their local PC to simulate and log folder will be created in same folder.
