Adding Customer Code to FlexSim Webserver

Hi,

I have successfully installed the webserver, and it can upload and run instances normally. Is it possible to connect the webserver to a local script that is stored on the same machine that webserver is fixed to, so that the webserver can display the content of the local script ?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.0.16

Hi Lena, I'm a little unclear exactly what you're trying to achieve but you can edit the html of index.html which is the webserver launch page.

You can also customize the page you see for a model using the serverinterface customization in the model.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for replying. I was trying to customize the Webserver Interface and adding more features to it (e.g. Enable user to open Excel files that are stored in the same directory with the uploaded models, change experiment parameter values, etc.). I'm new to Web Programming, so I was wondering if this is possible to be done based on the current webserver interface setup.

@Lena Young Like Jason said the Developing Custom Web Interfaces documentation is what you should read. It details how to make your own custom "default page" or another custom page. It also tells you how to make a custom query handler. The current default page functionality is written into the page's HTML, the JavaScript files it loads, and the query handlers it calls.

Since this is very custom stuff it is all left to the developer / advanced user to figure out. If you have any specific questions about custom pages or query handlers ask away.
