Connection of Web Applications via WebSocket
Use
The WebSocket network protocol, in accordance with specification RFC6455, allows a high-performance, network-resource-efficient communication between a WebSocket server and a Web application configured as a WebSocket client.
Against this backdrop, PCo can be set up as a WebSocket server and, in particular, support notification scenarios for which the events provided by the source system are displayed directly on modern user interfaces.
The WebSocket has an exceptional position among the various PCo destination system types because the query and notification scenarios are technically combined. On the PCo side, a specific port is envisaged through which the bi-directional communication between PCo and the Web application takes place.
You make the connection settings for the WebSocket in the agent instance on the Servers tab. You also create the destination system here. On the Destinations tab for the notification, you need to select this destination system and make the variable assignment.
