Launching Resa Scientific Forecasting - Internet Edition
This function allows you to launch RSF on one of the Servers that
are available to you. The launch is typically posted by a HTTP 1.1
compliant Browser to a remote server that is identified by an IP
address or Domain Name (optional).
Navigate to the URL that identifies RSF. The URL contains several
parts:
 | the communication protocol (http://) | |
| the ip address (195.95.24.19:81) or domain name (www.xycoon.com) | |
| the web page that contains the RSF user interface (lorenz.html) | |
This illustration contains a local
ip address. Normally, you would use a remote address.
Note: RSF is one of many RASP applications. Therefore a server
may contain more than one application.
Enter your Personal User ID and Password. The Command line must
contain the word "timeseries" (default value).
You must have acquired a personal RASP account
before you can launch this application. The Student account is
just for illustrating and testing purposes!
Press Return or click the Submit button to launch the RSF
application.
Observe the welcome message that will be returned to your
Browser. You may see something like:
Welcome Student, a new Lorenz.TimeSeries object is available for you.
To quit this application you should use the EXIT button.
This will free resources (CPU time, memory, etc...) on our server
that can be used by other users.
Your current IP address is 127.0.0.1
The fact that a new object is available, means that you have
opened a new session, and that the Server has started a separate
application that can only be used by you. The message that "the
object was already available" means that you have re-entered a
session that was opened on a previous occasion.
To shut down the application, and to free resources on
our Servers, you should use the Exit button that is contained in the
RSF Toolbar
The Exit button
The RSF Toolbar containing several icons. Note:
this toolbar may change from time to time.
The welcome message also contains a list of time series. This is
how this list might look:

The response may look like: The time series L:\ResaTest\Student\Airline.db
is now available for analysis.
This implies that you are ready to start the time series
analysis. |
