Using the Classic Mode Web Admin UI

Note: This section applies to the Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader applications only.

You can use a web browser UI to access Cleo Harmony, Cleo VLTrader, or Cleo VLNavigator software. To configure and set up the parameters of the web browser service, see Configuring Cleo VersaLex web browser service.

To run the Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader application from a web browser while not running through a Cleo VLProxy connection, you must enter the proper URL in the browser:

http(s)://VersaLexComputerIP: http(s)Port/VersaLexResourcePath

To run VersaLex from a web browser while running through a VLProxy connection, the VersaLex serial number must be supplied as a parameter:

http(s)://VLProxyComputerIP: http(s)Port/VersaLexResourcePath?serial=LX7589-YU2693

or concatenated to the resource, preceded by a dash:

http(s)://VLProxyComputerIP: http(s)Port/VersaLexResourcePath-LX7589-YU2693

In addition, you can use a number of optional URL parameters to associate external IDs with new or existing VersaLex host/mailbox aliases, limit the contents of the UI, and provide user authentication:

All parameter names and values are case insensitive except for ID, alias, and password values.

Note: If a host or mailboxID is passed, VersaLex is being integrated with another application's web UI and VersaLex expects that application to display VersaLex as a popup window. To distinguish hosts and mailboxes with ID associations, the tree node icon of a host or mailbox with an ID association will have a gray box around it. Host and mailbox IDs are stored in the host XML files and are retained on export/import of hosts.

To run Cleo VLNavigator from a web browser, you must enter the proper URL in the browser:

http(s)://VersaLexComputerIP:http(s)Port/VLNavigatorResourcePath

When Cleo VLNavigator logins are not in use (see Require Logins above), the web UI supports two password-protected modes:

The passwords are defined under the Harmony tab or VLTrader tab of the Web Browser Service.

While the web browser interface is active, you should not use the standard web browser refresh, back, and forward buttons. To force refresh, use the refresh  button in the upper right-hand corner of the web UI. Instead of the back and forward buttons, navigate through the , , or windows as if you were using the native UI.

Do not attempt to have different tabs in the same browser session accessing multiple instances of the , , or application (or even the same instance in different tabs of the same browser session.) In this case, cached information can cause you to be directed to the incorrect session.

Creating active host subfolders

Note: This section applies to the Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader applications only.

If a large number of hosts are going to be activated, it is advantageous to create host subfolders for groups of active hosts. Any structure of nested host subfolders – both depth and width – is allowed.  This allows the tree pane as well as other dialogs (for example Schedule,TCP/IP Port Usage, Transfer Report) to show groupings of the active hosts rather than the entire, alphabetized list.

1. Click the Active tab in the tree pane.
2. Right-click the top Hosts folder or any host subfolder.
3. Click New Folder and rename the host subfolder to a meaningful name.
4. Click and drag any active hosts between host subfolders.

Searching for a host property value

Note: This section applies to the Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader applications only.

1. Click the Active or Templates tab in the tree pane.
2. In the Search field, enter the property value you want to search for. Optionally, select Match case. Click Search.

   Note: Some right-click functions are not available while a Search is active.

3. Click Clear to remove the search results from the panel being viewed (Active or Template) and return to the original tree. 

Watching messages

The Messages pane scrolls runtime messages for all actions and local hosts.  For a description of the message types, see Messages Pane. The level of detailed messages shown in the messages pane can be configured. See Logs. If two or more actions are running concurrently, their messages will be intertwined.

1. Select a running action or local host in the tree pane.
2. Select the Messages tab in the content pane. 

   The Messages tab scrolls runtime messages for the selected action only.  Other differences between the messages pane and the Messages tab include:

   • During a file transfer, the Messages tab will continually reflect the current byte count and transfer rate.
   • The Messages tab has no limit on the total number of messages it can contain.
   • The contents of the Messages tab is retained until the next time the action is run, even if LexiCom is restarted. 

   Previous messages can also be viewed through the system log file. See Viewing log files - Web UI  and Viewing log files -- Native UI and Classic Web UI.

Determining status

Status can be reviewed a number of different ways:

• The status bar will list which actions are running.  Only one action within each activated host can be running at any given time.
• In the Tree pane, each host\mailbox\ action branch currently running is green. 
• Select the Hosts folder in the Tree pane. The Status column in the Content pane table will indicate whether an action is running and the current command, and the file and byte count, when applicable.
• Select a running action in the Tree pane. The lower portion of the Action tab in the Content pane panel will indicate the current command, and the file and byte count, when applicable.
