Display a List of Available Applications on a VIC

If a realm contains more than one application, you may view the list of available applications by entering the verb “/AppsList” as part of the Internet Explorer address field. An example is shown below:

http://ANDREWHLT/TELRealm/AppsList

An example of an application list follows:

The application list provides the following information:

•    A title indicating the name of the VTS/IS to which the VIC is connected (in the above example, the VTS/IS is "ANDREWHLT").

•    The time and date that this page was generated.

•    The number of VIC licenses available (please refer to Licensing for VTS/IS and VIC for further details).

•    The names of the available applications (i.e. those applications that have been added to the selected realm on the VTS/IS).

•    The type for each application (i.e. Script Application, Standard Application, and if the application is a layered application, the name of the custom OEM layer upon which the application is based).

•    The status of each application (i.e. Running, or Not Running).

Note: Remember: VICs are only able to view a list of those applications that have been configured for the specified realm on the VTS/IS. All other applications, whether belonging to other realms or not, remain hidden. The user must have a valid user account with at least the Internet Client privilege granted to it within one of the applications belonging to the specified realm in order to view the list of applications belonging to the realm. Finally, a standard application must be running on the VTS/IS in order for a client to access it.

Each application name is displayed as a link. As with other HTML pages, any links that have been clicked will be displayed in one color (as configured in Internet Explorer), while any links that have not been clicked will be displayed in another color.

The action that occurs when you click on an application link depends upon the application's type (script or standard), status (running or not):

•    Standard Application: If you click the link of a standard VTS application that is currently running on the VTS Internet Server, a new HTML page containing that application's page menu as a series of hyperlinks is displayed. The standard VTS application must be running on the VTS/IS in order for the VIC to view it.

•    Script Application: If you click the link for a script application, the link will start the associated application on the VTS Internet Server. Note: Unlike standard VTS applications, VTS script applications must not be running on the VTS/IS.

Note: As discussed in Internet Client Tools Access Privilege, users must have the Internet Client Tools Access privilege granted to their user account in order for them to run the VTS debugging and analysis utilities (which are all script applications).
