Starting the PCo Management Console in Display Mode

Use

You can start the PCo Management Console in display mode, if required. For example, you can use this function if you want to give a support colleague (with a limited user account) access to displaying Plant Connectivity logs or configuration data.

Prerequisites

The PCo Management Console always starts automatically in display mode if it is started by a Windows user who does not have a user account with administrator rights.

The PCo Management Console can be started in display mode, if required, by means of a command line parameter but also by an administrator user. (See: Setting the Command Line Parameters)

Features

If the PCo Management Console is running in display mode, you can display the current configuration of all source and destination systems as well as all agent instances. The corresponding symbols in front of the agent instances provide information about the status of each agent instance. You can choose the logs for the agent instances and export them; you can also choose where the log is stored. You can display notifications that could not yet be sent by an agent instance or which are faulty. You can adjust the user-specific options of the PCo Management Console, such as the language settings or the date format being used.

If required, when the PCo Management Console is running in display mode, you can switch to the administrator mode by choosing the Run as Administrator pushbutton. If the PCo Management Console has been started by a user who does not have administrator rights, you have to enter the user name and password of a user with administrator rights. If you can switch modes, the PCo Management Console is shut down and restarted in administrator mode.
