General system settings are made on the General tab.

Base URL

The base URL under which the web application is opened in the browser.

The URL quoted in alarm messages usually refers to "localhost". In order to make the web client accessible by other computers in the network, replace "localhost" by the real computer name. You can change this setting in the file appsettings.json. After the modification, restart the ibaCMC service to make the changes come into effect.

Server host IPv4

Specifies the IPv4 address of the server host and overwrites the ‘LocalHostIPv4’ system info property. Use this address if the application is unable to determine the IP address using the interface name from web.config [default: '255.255.255.255']

System language

This language setting only affects the predefined assets in the component library. The language of the user interface is set in the user profile.

First day of week

Defines the day that will be used as the start of the week. This is crucial for the weekly report, which is created and send on the first day of the week. [Possible values: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday]

Note
	If the weekly report is done manually and the current day is not the same as the first day of week, no report is created. The first day of week can be temporarily changed for testing purposes.

System paths

The System paths area displays the paths for the Archive, Error, and Temp folders. The Error and Archive folders are normally set under Plant configuration > Plant > Paths. The system paths are only used if no path is specified there.

Archive folder

Defines the storage location for the archive folder. [Default: C:...\Archive]

Error folder

Defines the storage location for the Error folder. [Default: C:...\Error]

Temporary folder

Defines the storage location for the temporary folder. The temporary folder is used to temporarily store the new data. [Default: C:...\Temp]

MQTT broker

Settings for the local MQTT broker can be made here.

If the certificate has to be changed, we recommend doing this directly using the appsettings.json file in the ProgramData folder.

After the change, the ibaCMC service has to be restarted.

Mail (SMTP)

On this tab you can set up the SMTP server (outgoing mail server), which is used for automated outgoing e-mails if needed. You can check the function by clicking on the <Send test email> button.
