Connect to OpenSpirit

Most of the tool bar buttons are deactivated until you connect to OpenSpirit. In order to connect to OpenSpirit simply click the highlighted button. When this button is red it indicates that the extension is not connected. When connected it will appear green. If the application can not connect to OpenSpirit an error message will be displayed.

Connected:                Disconnected:  

Common errors that will prevent connection include:

• OpenSpirit is not installed on your PC or the version of OpenSpirit is not supported by the extension
• The OpenSpirit shared services are not running   (this is a centralized service run on a computer in your office)
• No license is available
• Your PC has no network connection (if you have a firewalled connection you will be able to connect to read data and send events, but you will not be able to receive any events.

To disconnect from OpenSpirit simply click on the green tool bar button and it will turn red indicating that the extension is no longer connected to OpenSpirit.

An OspArcviewAdapter license feature will be checked out as long as the Connect to OpenSpirit button is connected (green).
