I'm confused on how these business spaces work.
My configuration tool shows me two business spaces (Library and Ordering) but when I go to http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.jsp and login I am logged into the Project Mangement business space.
Why do I not see the Project management space in the configuration tool? How can I set what the default business space is?
Thanks
Setting the default business space
joselv,
To test your bsv, go to http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logon.do and you will prompted to enter a Business Space name along with your user name & password.
If you want to see a Business Space in the config tool:
1- Frm the AwareIM Control panel, click on Start Config Tool
2- When presented with the Login screen, you can drop down to see a list of Business Spaces.
Hope this helps.

tford,
wont going to http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logon.do put me in full access mode?
I'd like to get more understanding on what happens when I go http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.jsp. From what I understand if you browse to this url and login then you will be logged into the default bsv. How do you determine the default bsv?
I spent all day today reading through the user manual and I have more questions and am more confused than before I started reading it.
I'm just an entreprenuer with several ideas for webbased applications that have ready and waiting customers. My technical skills are limited and I just dont have time to go through the learning curve.
Take a look at these people http://coghead.com, I would love to use awareim if it were this easy.
I dont see the value in buying a standalone product... my clients and I want a truly web-enabled service. Why dont you guys offer a hosted solution?
My comments are directed in a positive manner, I'm just frustrated because I feel I wasted an entire day.

Aware IM is not a standalone product - it lets you create fully web accessible applications. You can install Aware IM on your own server and get this server web-accessible if it has fixed IP address. Alternatively you can rent some space on a machine of a hosted provider and install Aware IM there. This is very similar to having a hosted solution except that unlike Coghead you will be in full control of your data and not rely on somebody to manage your sensitive information.
You can find all the details of deploying web applications with Aware IM here: http://www.awareim.com/web_deployment
We are sorry if you find the User Guide not that useful - perhaps you should start with other documents like Getting Started, Quick Tour and Configuration Case Study. They give a very good overview of what Aware IM is all about. Or we can build your application for you.
The default business space is the business space created during installation. You do not need to use it. You can explicitly specify the business space you are logging into by providing "domain" parameter to the logonOp URL (the details are in the User Guide).

joselv,
In addition to the docs that support mentioned, I find the sample apps very valuable learning tools. You can open up the sample apps at http://www.awareim.com/sample_applications.html in your browser while you have the sample app's bsv open in the Aware config tool. You can then flip back & forth & see how things work "under the hood" as you go through the sample app in your browser.

joselv,
If you don't want deal with the server aspects, there is a company that provides AwareIM hosting - http://www.hostland.com/awareim-hosting.html. You buy your license for AwareIm & they will manage the server side for you.
I would think that the learning curve of actually developing an application is going to be very similar with various tools -- AwareIM, Coghead, etc.

Hey Joselv,
My experience has always been that if you cannot deliver your application (or offering) totally in-house to an end user, you will have to be ready to accept that you will probably lose a majority of potential clients.
Most mid-sized and larger companies have started to shift away from outsourcing and hosted solutions. The main reason is security and data integrity. It is especially difficult to for a potential client to be able to convince their clients that their personal data is secure outside of the company's immediate control.
What I am trying to say is that there is no free breakfast and you will eventually have to either 1. pay someone to build your ideas 2. learn how to create solutions on your own. If you go down the road of developing applications on your own, I urge you to reconsider using Aware. Coghead is just a means of adding fields, forms and business logic...but as I mentioned, you cannot sell it as a product but merely a service which significantly reduces your potential for financial gain and control. Just think...you create a great app and Coghead goes out of business...then what? It has happened to me before...it can happen.
Good luck.
