Cell Environments
There are 4 types of cell environments that can be used to run and debug cell applications:
- Attached Cell Simulator - Cell simulator running on a remote machine. The simulator must be manually started on the remote machine,
as opposed to the Remote Cell Simulator type, where the PTP Cell/B.E handles the starting of the simulator on the remote host.
- Cell Box - Physical Cell machine (remote or native cell machine running the PTP Cell/B.E).
- Local Cell Simulator - Cell simulator running on the native machine.
- Remote Cell Simulator - Cell simulator running on a remote machine. The PTP Cell/B.E handles starting the remote simulator, as
opposed to the Attached Cell Simulator type, where the simulator must be manually started on the remote host.
Prior to running/debugging a cell application, a cell environment must be created and started:
- Open the Cell Environments view.
- Right click on any of the 4 available cell machine types and select Create.
- Fill in any necessary configuration values and click Finish.
- Start the environment: Click on the green Start arrow button.
- After the cell environment has started, it is ready to be used for cell application deployment.
