Abstract

An approach for managing a job that may provide a logical model of one or more structures as a configuration for deployment to, for instance, one or more site controllers. A job may be newly created, an existing job, or a remote job. A portal may be established for connection to a relevant job station. A physical view and a network node may be established for showing the physical and network views. The relevant job station may incorporate configurations that support a workbench, a dashboard and gadgets.

Claims

1. A method for configuring a site controller, comprises:

logging into a local enterprise workbench with a computer, existing jobs are accessible through the local enterprise workbench and new jobs are created and deployed through the local enterprise workbench;

creating a new job for a site controller using the computer and the local enterprise workbench; and

configuring the site controller, the configuring the site controller includes deploying the created new job to the site controller via the local enterprise workbench; and

wherein;

the created new job that is deployed to the site controller provides a logical model of one or more buildings or structures that is used by the site controller as part of a configuration;

the creating the new job and the configuring the site controller comprise;

stopping all running job stations associated with the site controller;

creating a physical view and a network view;

creating an enterprise portal between the local enterprise workbench and the site controller;

creating a job station in the local enterprise workbench for the site controller;

connecting to the site controller through the created job station via the enterprise portal;

running the job station via the enterprise portal to run the deployed job at the site controller;

in response to running the job station, displaying in the physical view an object model and an enterprise root used to create the new job; and

in response to running the job station, displaying the job station and a host in the network view.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the job station comprises configurations that support the workbench, a dashboard and gadgets.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

opening an existing job using the computer, wherein opening the existing job comprises;

selecting a job from the existing jobs;

running an existing job station having one or more communication ports;

displaying an enterprise root and object model in a physical view for the existing job; and

displaying a host in a network view for the existing job.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the existing job station comprises configurations that support the workbench, a dashboard and gadgets.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein:

the communication ports are for connecting to the existing job station;

the network view has the existing job station; and

the physical view has an object model for the existing job station.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

opening a remote job using the computer, wherein opening the remote job comprises;

connecting to a remote job station having one or more communication ports;

displaying an enterprise root and an object model in a physical view for the remote job; and

displaying a host in a network view for the remote job.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the remote job station comprises configurations that support the workbench, a dashboard and gadgets.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein:

the communication ports are for a connection to the remote job station;

the network view has the remote job station; and

the physical view has an object model for the remote job station.
