I got this to launch vision client laucnher but it doesn't try to open any projects:
system.util.execute(['C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Vision Client Launcher\visionclientlauncher.exe'])
I was wondering where I could see what parameters the vision client launcher can take like for example the project name to launch a client from another gateway? I see all the command line arguments you can make including the application name.
Add the other gateway to the launcher. Add its applications (or just selected ones). Create a desktop shortcut for the desired application on the desired gateway. Inspect the desktop shortcut for how you run the VCL targeting a specific app.
In v8.1 and earlier, the application name to launch must already be present in the VCL's config file, so the rest of the connection details can be retrieved. (This is changing for v8.3.)
I see the targeting information and did the rest of what you mentioned, but passing that into the scrpiting on the system.execute on a button isn't working. I'm trying to have them launch the "local site" from the "central Site" via a button
Vision has system.util.retarget() for that task. Does not require anything in the local VCL config.
I thought retarget only did it on the current gateway not to another one. I'll look into it
Right there in the first paragraph of its description.
