Introduction
Verticon Inc. is pleased to present the Scenario. Scenario is the first of a family of asset
management integration applications available from Verticon, Inc.
Scenario is a support tool for analysts, administrators, sales people, and consultants who work with the ActiveTag Asset Management system from AXCESS Inc. Scenario is a powerful yet easy to use application that simulates the movement of assets and personell through time and space. It
can be used with or without a real network of ActiveTag receivers and activators for:
Training:
- Operator certification
- Security drills and training
Benchmarking:
- Activator and Receiver Configuration
- Load testing
- Testing of third party software testing
Demonstrations:
- Proof of concept prototypes
- Sales demos
Description
Scenario is a Mult-Platform Web enabled application that utilizes Sun Microsystems Java Runtime Environment (JRE 1.4 and above and the Java Network Launching protocols (JNLP). With JNLP
Scenario can offer users four ways to start it up:
- Directly from the Web HTML hyperlink, passing through the Web Browser;
- Directly by pointing to the related JNLP file. Under Windows, for example, by double-clicking on a JNLP file, or shortcut;
- From the Sun Microsystems Java Web Start Application Manager utility. (The JWS Application manager is included with the Java Runtime Environment 1.4 and above);
- From platform-dependent mechanisms (items such as the Start menu or desktop shortcuts in Windows)
Scenario is comprised of a scheduler engine and an scheduling specification file. Starting a new schedule is a simple selection of the default or a custom scheduling file.
Specification File:
- Default specification interoperates with the Axcess Inc. Active Trac samples databases - for out of the box integration with Active Trac;
- Industry standard format conforms to the latest XML Schema recommendation of the W3C - to interoperate with standard editors and tools;
- Can specify multiple event threads per schedule and multple scheduled tasks per thread - to handle thousands of scheduled events;
- Can specify valid tag events that are randomly generated or user specified;
- Events can be scheduled for one time and/or repeating with fixed delays or fixed rates;
- Repeating events can specify to start and stop at specifiec times;
Scheduler:
- Utilizes Sun Microsystems Java 1.4.0 Runtime Environments - for deployment and execution on multiple OS based workstations and PCs;
- Acts as a TCP server to simulate the behavior of network attached Axcess Tag receivers;
- Offers multiple simultaneous Active Trac instances (running on seperate machines) access to a running schedule;
- High performance scheduling and IO engines for Enterprise quality scalability
- One click start up
