Attaching VISULOX Service to VISULOX PORTAL Service

General

VISULOX Service connects the VISULOX PORTAL Service only locally. This means, on nodes without VISULOX PORTAL Service no connection is done, on nodes with VISULOX PORTAL Service (VISULOX ACCESS Node) the connection is done via localhost to the webservices. The connection gathers only the information from this VISULOX Access Node, so VISULOX Service must be installed on VISULOX PORTAL Service members in the array.


There is a single command interaction from VISULOX Service with VISULOX PORTAL Service:

visulox portal attach


This command has serveral arguments:
