Subsystems via Citrix Interface

Through the installation of Citrix XenApp 6.5 software and Citrix Interface, you xan have

access to:

Subsystem of cartographic processing and spatial information processing,

Subsystem of spatial processing analysis and

Subsystem of video and hydroacoustic data processing

To be able to use these subsystems, initially the appropriate Citrix Client should be installed

on your personal computer and then you may connect to Citrix interface by using your

personal domain account, which has been granted by the University of Aegean.

Below are the basic steps of using the specific software.




CITRIX INTERFACE

CITRIX CLIENT INSTALLATION

1. Connection to the network of the University.

2. If you are external users will need to create VPN connection

(with the settings that you will find here:

https://ype.aegean.gr/yphresiesdiktioudedomenwn/vpn/genikesodigievpn).

3. Open on a Browser the following URL:

https://wg-web.aegean.gr/Citrix/XenApp

4. If you are trying to login for the first time in the system and Citrix Client has not been

installed, will see a message prompting you to install it. Press the ‘Install’ button.

https://wg-web.aegean.gr/Citrix/XenApp




5. The Citrix environment recognizes by itself the version of the operating system of your

computer and leads you automatically to the corresponding page. On the home page

that leads you select the blue Download button.

Note: The image may vary depending on the OS you have.

6. Choose to agree to the terms and click ‘Continue’.




7. On the next screen choose where you want to save the installation file and click Save.

Continue with the installation instructions listed on your screen.

8. After the completion of Citrix Receiver installation, the Browser is ready for

connection.




SWITCH LANGUAGE

To be able to use the available applications in English, you should change the language from

the settings menu:

1. Choose «Ρυθμίσεις» button:

2. In the new window that appears, select from the existing list of languages under

“Γενικά”, the English:

3. And press 'Αποθήκευση', to save your changes.

4. From now on you can see all available information in english:




LOGIN

To be able to use the available applications, you must login to the user interface with your

personal domain account. You have been granted with this domain account by the University

of Aegean.

Some browsers, depending on the version of the citrix client installed on the computer, it may

not automatically recognize its existence and displays again an installation message:

In this case, select the ‘Skip to log on’ option to go to Log On home page.

Ways to connect to the Citrix environment are:




1. either by using a Windows account (Pass-through),

2. or by entering credentials (Explicit).

The webGIS system of University of the Aegean is configured in such a way that users who are

connected to a local computer of the university with their personal domain account, by

choosing the Pass-through logon type don’t need to retake their credentials, as it is used the

Single Sign-On Login.

Pass-through logon type: user’s credentials are not required. Press

‘Connection’ button to connect.

If you are trying to connect remotely via VPN on the webGIS system of University of the

Aegean, or if the version of the browser does not automatically recognize the Pass-through

procedure, in order to connect to the Citrix environment use the Explicit logon type.




Explicit logon type: you need to provide your personal domain account. Then

press ‘Connection’ button to connect.

After Logging-in with the Domain Account that was provided to you, the available

applications– subsystems that you can use appear on your screen, as well as a tab with

available case studies and their data:




Overview of the Citrix environment.

Available subsystems – applications via Citrix environment.




• Available case studies via Citrix environment.

When you select an application to start, the above message appears.




AVAILABLE APPLICATIONS

The available applications – subsystems which you can use via Citrix environment are those

below:

SUBSYSTEM OF CARTOGRAPHIC PROCESSING AND SPATIAL INFORMATION

PROCESSING

ArcMap

By choosing the application of ArcMap, you can access the Subsystem of cartographic

processing and spatial information processing:

The Subsystem of cartographic processing and spatial information processing provides tools

so that you can analyze the spatial information that is stored in various cartographic layers. It

provides also the possibility of applying interpolation methods for converting point data from

the field into surfaces (raster), developing of three-dimensional visualization, applying

geostatistical analysis and network analysis. The results of the processing / analysis of data

can be stored in tables, images, charts or new cartographic layers.

SUBSYSTEM OF VIDEO AND HYDROACOUSTIC DATA PROCESSING

Fledermaus

The Subsystem of video and hydroacoustic data processing offers tools for editing four-

dimensional data, which tend to have very high resolution. Similar to hydroacoustic, with any

form of 4D data, the subsystem supports the production of high resolution video files, in which

you can select your position in relation to the space and the viewing angles within the studying

area (in this case the inside of the sea). An important feature of the subsystem is the possibility

of cooperation with most sonar of the market and the binary file formats that they use.

SPATIAL PROCESSING ANALYSIS APPLICATION

ArcCatalog

The spatial processing analysis application παρέχει εργαλεία provides visualization, editing

and management tools of geospatial data in vector (vector) or raster (raster) format. Through

the specific subsystem you can have a complete set of tools for creating cartographic layers

and processing spatial information, as well as developing services according to OGC standards

(WMS, WFS, WCS).

ArcCatalog Environment.




APPLICATION FOR VISUALIZING THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) GEOSPATIAL DATA

ArcGIS Explorer

The application for visualizing three-dimensional (3D) geospatial data provides visualization

tools for displaying three-dimensional data on a sphere.

ArcGIS Explorer Environment.




APPLICATION FOR VISUALIZING AND EDITING THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D)

GEOSPATIAL DATA

ArcScene

The application for visualizing and editing three-dimensional (3D) geospatial data provides

visualization, editing and analysis tools of three-dimensional data.

ArcScene Environment.
