This section introduces and walks you through the tools and steps necessary to publish your
InTouch windows onto a Information Server web portal for Internet viewing.

Converting and Publishing InTouch Windows


InTouch windows will likely be a foundation of your Information Server portal information. The
process you will go through to make these windows accessible from your portal is actually quite
simple. The process behind-the-scenes is where the complexity lies.

Note: Plan the complexity of your InTouch windows for viewing over the Internet. Three hints:
Do not use navigation the user will have to click on.
Do not include excessive animations.
Do not convert InTouch windows that contain ArchestrA graphics; ArchestrA Graphics
within InTouch windows do not convert to XML format and will display an error message.

Converting and publishing InTouch application windows can be accomplished by using the Win-
XML Exporter application. The Win-XML Exporter can be installed from the Information Server
portal.

XML: Behind-the-Scenes Technology


XML is a mark-up language used to transmit code over the Internet and have it interpreted by a
browser. Using XML saves bandwidth and allows for interpretation of graphics to be quick and
consistent across many platforms.
The Win-XML Exporter is a converter tool used to convert InTouch windows to an XML format so
they can be viewed over the Internet. It is available as a free download from the Information Server
home page to the local machine.
The program is authenticated and signed by Wonderware. This provides the user with assurances
that they are not downloading a virus to their machine. Once the download is complete, it begins a
normal install process.

Before You Begin Converting and Publishing InTouch Windows


Once you have windows that have been optimized and you are in the administrator role on the
Information Server web portal; you download the Win-XML Exporter tool, convert the windows to
the XML format, and publish them to the portal site.
This requires knowledge of where the InTouch windows are located and which web server is
hosting the information.
If the InTouch windows need to be optimized, use InTouch WindowMaker to modify the existing
windows. Refer to the “Using WindowMaker” section of the latest version of the Wonderware

11-4 Module 11 – Process Graphics

InTouch User’s Guide for information about optimizing existing windows and designing new
windows for the browser environment.

Note: If you are using InTouch 10.0 and your InTouch windows contain ArchestrA Graphics, an
error message will display when the windows are converted to display in Information Server.
ArchestrA Graphics within InTouch windows do not convert to XML format.

Installing the Win-XML Exporter


The Win-XML Exporter can be installed from a link on the Information Server portal home page.
The Win-XML Exporter does not require a license.

The Win-XML Exporter setup program will:


z Install the application to your local computer

Note: You can install the Win-XML Exporter on the Information Server portal.
We suggest that you install it on your local InTouch development node.
There is a “Destination Location” choice during the install process.

z Add a shortcut to the Win-XML Exporter on your Windows Start menu.


(For example, Start / All Programs / Wonderware / InTouch/Win-XML Exporter.)
You must install the Win-XML Exporter on the same computer as InTouch WindowMaker if the
windows you want to convert contain ActiveX controls.
If a previous version of the Win-XML Exporter is currently installed, uninstall it prior to installing the
newer version.
To install the Win-XML Exporter:
Follow the steps to install the Win-XML Exporter with your instructor. The Win-XML is required for
a later lab.
a. Access the Information Server portal home page.
b. In the System access panel, expand Administration.
c. Click Win-XML Exporter.
The Win-XML Exporter page appears.
d. Click the Download Win-XML Exporter Now button.
