Enable DCV visualization session sharing in DCV submission templates

Edit online

Since version 9.1.1, several built-in submission templates for NICE Desktop Cloud Visualization (DCV) have two new fields: Share visualization with and Share permissions.

About this task

The new fields Share visualization with and Share permissions are available on the following applications:

  • AppDCV
  • AppDCVonLinux
  • CATIA

If you have templates that you created from previous versions and you do not see the Share visualization with and Share permissions fields, you will need to add the new fields to your submission templates.

In the job submission form, these fields allows users to specify operating system user accounts with whom they want to share their visualization session and indicate whether the share is view-only or whether the other users have view and control access to the visualization.

Once the user submits the job, users that are specified in the Share visualization with field are able to view the job in the Workload page, and can click Visualize to visualize the job with DCV. If the users are also allowed control of the visualization, they are able to manipulate the visualization window.

The user who submitted the job can modify who can visualize this job after job submission by clicking the Share Visualization button from the Workload job details pane. Users that are removed from the Share visualization with list are no longer able to see the job in the Workload page. Note, however, that any open visualization windows are not automatically closed.

To add the new Share Visualization with and Share permission fields to any of your existing DCV submission templates:

Procedure

  1. Unpublish your submission template.
  2. Add a field in your submission template and make sure that the field ID is SHARE_USER_LIST.

    SHARE_USER_LIST is a reserved system ID to enable DCV session sharing and requires no changes to your existing submission script.

  3. Add a radio button field in your submission template and make sure that the field ID is SHARE_USER_VIEW_ONLY.

    Specify the values: View only, and View & Control.

    A value of true indicates the share is view-only to users listed in the SHARE_USER_LIST field. A value of false indicates users listed in the SHARE_USER_LIST field can view and control the session. SHARE_USER_VIEW_ONLY is a reserved system ID to define sharing permissions for DCV session sharing and requires no changes to your existing submission script.

  4. Publish your submission template.
