The FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server web application can be installed on any computer
participating in a FactoryTalk View SE network application, or on the computer
hosting a local application.
In the previous illustration, the FactoryTalk ViewPoint Server in a network
application is installed and running on the same computer as the FactoryTalk View
SE Server.
A web application will not display data if HMI servers, data servers, or alarm servers in
the corresponding FactoryTalk View SE application are unavailable or not running.
To ensure that an HMI server is running, in FactoryTalk View Studio, open the server’s
Properties dialog box and set the startup type to Load and run startup components
when operating system initializes. For details, click Help.
