Web.config

Web.config is the primary configuration file for the QESTField Scheduler web application. It resides in the root physical path of the web site. The file is an XML format file and can be edited by any standard text or XML editor.

The initial config file contains several major sections as shown below. Do not change settings in any section except the system.serviceModel unless advised to do so by Spectra QEST.

system.serviceModel

This section contains requires two subsections: bindings and client.

bindings

The type of the bindings defined needs to match those defined for the Lab Service of the QESTNet instance to which the QESTField Scheduler will be connecting. By default these bindings are TCP and defined separately for each of the three required endpoints. These client settings control the connection timeouts and buffer sizes, where not overridden by the QESTNet server's binding settings.

client

The client section defines the endpoints to which the client connects. The QESTField Scheduler requires three endpoints of QESTNet:

Endpoint Name	Address	Default Binding	Purpose
Lab_Session	/	Unsecured TCP	Allows QESTField to open and close QESTNet session and issue commands.
Lab_Query	/query	Unsecured TCP	Allows QESTField to query data structures from QESTNet's LIMS functionality set.
Lab_File	/file	Unsecured Streaming TCP	Streams the data content of large files.

The configuration for each endpoint specifies:

addressThe endpoint address - typically only the host name must be changed to match the QESTNet server. If further customisation of protocol or port has been made then those two must match the QESTNet server configuration.bindingThe binding type - must match the type of the binding configuration.bindingConfigurationThe binding configuration - must match a name from the bindings section.contractThe service interface - do not change.nameThe identifier for the endpoint - do not change.
