Manage and Configure Resources
Resources are managed in 2 steps. The declaration of the resource is specified in the 'System/Resources' panel, next the technical specs are set in the resource's 'Agent/Resources/...' panel.

Introduction to the EOS Console
Use the EOS Console to configure EOS. Basically, this concerns the organization of users and their permissions, and data resources. You can run the EOS Console remotely (you do not need to sit down at the server machine). Moreover, you can use one EOS Console to administer different EOS installations from your workstation.text/html2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Creating the WMS Capabilities File

Creating the WMS Capabilities File
To allow the IOS extension to EOS to behave as OGC WMS server, the EOS server's capabilities need to be published. This can be done automatically from the EOS Console.
Whenever resources are added, this file will have to be regenerated.text/html2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)The EOS Console

Licensing
At Installation
When installing, a temporary license is created allowing evaluation for a few days. This does require access to your system's registry for which you require administrator permission. Use these few days to get a permanent license.text/html2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)License

License
Select System -> Configuration. This is how your screen looks like :
The top right side displays the license and the permissions included. Use 'Edit License' open the License Editor and to enter a license string. You receive a license string when purchasing EOS and sending a request from the License Editor.text/html2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Logging User Logins and Resource Behaviour
https://kb.orbitgt.com/43/eos/console/logging?rev=1553513784
Logging User Logins and Resource Behaviour
In EOS, there is a possibility to log the behaviour of users and resources. For every user login/logout and every action on a resource, a record is stored in an Access-database.
:!: The database-size can grow fast. Follow up the logdatabase and clean the tables from time to time.text/html2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Manage User Permissions
https://kb.orbitgt.com/43/eos/console/manage_permissions?rev=1553513784
Manage User Permissions
Each resource can have a global permission. Check the Manage User Accounts page for understanding users and user groups.
Open the window System -> Resources :
Select a resource in the list. At the bottom of this panel we can see the permissions set for the selected resource. Use the buttons 'Add', 'Remove' and 'Edit' to manage the permissions for this resource.text/html2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Manage User Accounts
https://kb.orbitgt.com/43/eos/console/manage_users?rev=1553513784
Manage User Accounts
The main part of the configuration panel is dedicated to user management. You can see 3 tables.
Administrators
Set here the users allowed to use the EOS Console.
These users are EOS Console Administrators only, and do not have access rights to the spatial data.text/html2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Monitor Memory Use
https://kb.orbitgt.com/43/eos/console/monitoring?rev=1553513784
Monitor Memory Use
With the button 'Probe', you can ask the EOS Console to monitor the current memory use. The window shows the used section and the free section of the allocated memory. Also the maximum amount of memory that can be allocated is presented.text/html2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Publish to the Web

Publish to the Web
How to Publish ?
EOS Resources can be published on the web using the IOS extension and the Orbit FlashMap viewer. The internet, represented by IOS, connects to EOS as a predefined user. EOS and it's IOS extension are embedded in the Orbit FlashMap product download.text/html2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)System and Agents
https://kb.orbitgt.com/43/eos/console/system_en_agents?rev=1553513784
System and Agents
At startup, you notice a tree list on the left hand side. This is your navigator. It shows the basic items 'System' and 'Agent'.
EOS is built out of several components : a communication access point and framework (System) and executors (Agents). Each Agent hereby is a virtual EOS server on a separate machine, allowing to use EOS in a clustered environment with load-balancing techniques.
