Prerequisite: You must read and follow all the requirements set out in the Geocortex EssentialsInstallation Guide.
Both your browser and operating system must support WebSocket.
Network Requirements
If you plan to use GeoEvent Server with the AOP Role, there are some additional requirements. The Geocortex Core Roles listen on port 10080. Therefore you need to allow your GeoEvent Server to access port 10080 on your Geocortex Essentials server.
ArcGIS GeoEvent Server has its own network and ports requirements. Please follow the Esri documentation on Ports used by GeoEvent Server.
Recommended Hardware
We recommend that you install AOP on a three-node cluster of Geocortex Essentials to increase its resilience. Because of the importance of systems running AOP technology, we have a comprehensive quality program. However, AOP is not a replacement for existing fail-safe, fault-tolerant emergency response infrastructure systems. AOP is an additional, parallel tool that can help augment and improve understanding and response in an emergency situation.
Like other vendors of the third-party technology that AOP uses either directly or works beside, we are not able to assume legal liability in the event of system failure during fault-intolerant use.
You will find a list of supported client environments in the Geocortex Viewer for HTML5Installation Guide.
Minimum Software Requirements
Install the following Geocortex software on the same machine before you install AOP:
Geocortex Essentials 4.8
Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 2.9
Geocortex Core 3.1
If you plan to integrate AOP with ArcGIS information, you will require access to the following software:
ArcGIS Server 10.4 or ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5
ArcGIS GeoEvent Extension for Server 10.4 or ArcGIS GeoEvent Server in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5
ArcGIS Online
The default configuration for sign-in to AOP assumes that you have an ArcGIS ID. Having access to ArcGIS Online, also gives you automatic access to demographic and traffic information. You can use other sign-in providers but these services will not be available in that case.
If you do not use the ArcGIS sign-in option, you may see the following Map Service Connection Failed message when you open AOP for the first time:
To continue to open AOP without the map service, select the Remove the map service checkbox and click OK.
Browsers
While the Geocortex Viewer for HTML5Installation Guide indicates that Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) is supported, the Collaboration feature in AOP does not work if you run it using IE9 as your browser. Because the Active Operating Picture and After Action Playback applications rely heavily on Geocortex Collaboration, you should not use IE9.
