Open APV software

There are two ways to run the APV software:

  • Using our API (the common way) — APV's Frontend and iField Web run against Ocean Infinity's own ICC API, which is already running as a service. This is what you'll use most of the time, e.g. if a GRU file comes out blank.
  • Full APV software (rare, last resort) — both the API and Frontend are run from APV's own software instead of ours. Only use this if something has gone seriously wrong with our version of the API.

APV Desktop Shortcuts

The original APV software is started using a set of Desktop shortcuts:

The APV Desktop shortcuts

Shortcut What it does
ICC-OI Opens the folder containing the APB ICC API and Frontend source folders.
Ifield Runs the original APV software directly — see Ifield Shortcut below.
iField API Check Checks the iField API. Use this before opening iField Web if the Frontend doesn't load.
iField Web Opens the APV iField Web frontend, once the Frontend Server and ICC API are running.
Start iField Frontend Server Starts the APV Frontend Server. Must be running before opening iField Web.
Start iField ICC API Starts the APV iField ICC API. Only needed for the Full APV software route below — must be running before you run the APV Frontend Server.

Common way — using our API

Ocean Infinity's own ICC API is already running as a service, so you only need to start APV's Frontend:

  1. Start iField Frontend Server

    Start iField Frontend Server shortcut

  2. iField Web

    iField Web shortcut

    1. If the Frontend doesn't load, open iField API Check before opening iField Web

  3. Log in with credentials user: cpt pass: cpt

Full APV software — only if something is seriously wrong with our API

This route runs both the API and Frontend from APV's own software. Before starting it, first stop Ocean Infinity's own ICC API using the Stop OI API shortcut — see Ocean Infinity Shortcuts. Both versions of the ICC API cannot run at the same time.

  1. Start iField ICC API

    Start iField ICC API shortcut

  2. Start iField Frontend Server

  3. iField Web

    iField Web shortcut

    1. If the Frontend doesn't load, open iField API Check before opening iField Web

  4. Log in with credentials user: cpt pass: cpt

Ifield Shortcut

Ifield shortcut

This shortcut runs the original APV software directly. Operators only use this if they really and truly need to — it's a way to check that everything is okay from a foundational point of view, working directly against APV's software rather than through iField Web.
