Adding and Publishing an Application to Edge


EnOS Edge provides basic application management as an edge computing platform where you can let your application read from and write to all asset data on the Edge, and call the Edge APIs.


You can also manage the full lifecycle of the applications such as:

  • Adding an application to EnOS Edge.
  • Enabling/disabling an application.
  • Viewing the details of an application.
  • Removing an application.

  1. Select one or more applications from the pop-up windows. Click OK.

Note

  • Applications that have been added to other Edge devices can still be added to the current Edge device repeatedly.
  • If no applications need to be added are found in the pop-up box, go to Edge Application to add them.

Letting an Application Online

Click the online Online icon and confirm the operation twice. The application will then be granted read and write access to all assets and APIs on this Edge.

Publishing an Application

After the application goes online, click the Publish button to publish the Edge configuration to the Cloud for the added applications to take effect.

Results

You have added the selected app or apps to the Edge instance and granted access to read from and write to the asset data on Edge, and call the Edge APIs. Note that if you need to run your app on the Edge, you would still need to deploy the app on the Edge.
