Before You Start


This article guides you through completing the configuration required to enable the DTV application in the EnOS Management Console and the Application Portal.

Scenario

  • Purchase the DTV application on the EnOS Management Console, grant the DTV application with the access to EnOS resources, and prepare asset data.

  • Synchronize assets in the Application Portal, and manage organization structure, menus and user groups.

Prerequisites

  • You should have an EnOS account and have the permissions required for application registration, identity and authorization, and model and device management, see Policies, Roles and Permissions.

Step 1: Purchasing the DTV Application

Before using the DTV application, you need to purchase it through the EnOS Management Console.

  1. Log in to the EnOS Management Console, and select Application Registration. Under the Purchased tab, click Purchase Application.

  3. Click Purchase. After the purchase application is approved, the DTViz application will be displayed in the list of Purchased applications.

Step 2: Authorization for the DTV Application

Grant the DTV application with the access to EnOS resources through the application service account authorization function.

  1. Log in to the EnOS Management Console, and select Identity and Access Management > Service Account.

  2. From the application list, find out the DTViz application, and click Authorize icon.

  3. Under the Policy List tab, click Assign Policies. In the pop-up window, select the predefined or custom permission policies to be granted to the DTV application (if the custom permission policies are selected, you need to ensure that the Read permission of the corresponding asset data is configured in the policies; it is recommended to select the administrator built-in policy).

  4. Click Save to complete the authorization for the DTV application.

Step 3: Preparing the Asset Data

The specific tags are required for the DTV to identify the asset data to be synchronized. Before using the DTV to access the historical asset data, it is required to ensure the TSDB storage policies has been configured for the asset measurement points.

  1. Log in to the EnOS Management Console, select Models or Asset Trees, and find out the target model or asset.

  2. Tag the model that the asset belongs to or the asset with auth_unit:true, and the DTV can identify the asset data to be synchronized through this tag.
