How can I set up a connection between SWITCHclient and PowerSWITCH?

I want to start using SWITCHclient to submit jobs but I don't know how to set this up.

Products

PowerSWITCH

To setup a client connection:

  • Give PowerSWITCH a meaningful name so it can be recognized easily in SWITCHclient
  • Setup users and groups that will have access to PowerSWITCH submit points and checkpoints
  • Setup SWITCHclient to connect with PowerSWITCH

Detailed instructions:

Give PowerSWITCH a name

  • Open the PowerSWITCH preferences dialog window and select the 'Application Data' category
  • Enter the name of your choice in the 'Server Name' property. This is the PowerSWITCH server name that will be shown in SWITCHclient

Setup users and groups

  • Switch PowerSWITCH to the 'Users' view
  • Create one or more new groups and define access rights (view jobs, view submit points and view checkpoints)
  • Add as many users as you need and fill out all information. Make sure your users are members of the correct group

Setup the SWITCHclient

  • Launch SWITCHclient on a computer in your network, note that both PowerSWITCH and SWITCHclient should be running within the same internal network
  • On the Connections category, use the Add button to create a new connection
  • In this new connection, fill out the Host name or IP address of the PowerSWITCH computer
  • Enter the port (if you didn't change the port in the PowerSWITCH preferences, use 51008, which is the default port)
  • Enter a user name and password of a user that is defined in PowerSWITCH
  • Press the Apply button to save your changes and connect to PowerSWITCH
  • Once connected you'll be able to see submit points and checkpoints you are allowed to see and to submit & check jobs.
