Step-by-step guide 11

12 MIKE by DHI Software as a Service (SaaS) 4 WORKING WITH AN EXISTING VIRTUAL PC My Virtual PCs window lists all available Virtual PCs (also referred to as Instances) within a selected region. It includes the status and configuration of each Virtual PC. You can only start using a Virtual PC when its status is Ready. Please notice, it may take some time to fully configure a new Virtual PC. Also, please notice that you can only work with instances in one region at a time. Figure 4.1 Command buttons The available active Command buttons above the list of Virtual PCs depend on the status of the individual, selected Virtual PC (Instance). Refresh: This button will refresh the overview of available Virtual PCs and their states. It is recommended to always press the Refresh button to obtain the correct status after performing a command (e.g. Shut Down, Reboot etc). 4.1 States of a Virtual PC All valid states of MIKE by DHI SaaS Virtual PC s are listed in the Table 4.1. You can only start using your Virtual PC when its status is Ready. Please notice that it may take some time to fully configure a new Virtual PC. You may use the Refresh button to update the status shown in the list.

13 Table 4.1 STATUS Ordered Pending Starting Initializing States of a Virtual PC Description The Virtual PC is ordered through our portal The order is received by DHI SaaS controller and being processed The Virtual PC is starting up The Virtual PC is being configured Failed to initialize Ready Failed Rebooting Shutting down Terminated Not available The Virtual PC failed to execute one of the required tasks The Virtual PC is fully configured and ready to be used The Virtual PC failed to launch The Virtual PC is being rebooted The Virtual PC is shutting down. Note: All your unsaved work will be lost The Virtual PC has been shut down or failed to launch The Virtual PC has been shut down or failed to launch 4.2 Starting and stopping a Virtual PC You can only Log On and start using your Virtual PC when its status is Ready. Please notice, it may take some time to fully configure a new Virtual PC. There are several methods for stopping a Virtual PC (i.e. discontinuing the connection to a Virtual PC). The methods are described in the below. The consequences with respect to costs, simulations and data storage are summarized in Table 4.2. Table 4.2 Overview of methods for stopping a Virtual PC. Stopping Method Costs accrue Simulations Data is removed terminate Reboot Yes Yes No Shut Down No Yes Yes Disconnect Yes No No Log Off Yes Yes No Step-by-step guide 13

14 MIKE by DHI Software as a Service (SaaS) Log On In order to log on, press Select in the line showing the Virtual PC and then the Log On button. The Log On button is used to remotely log on to the selected Virtual PC. During the process, you will be prompted to verify your connection. Please click Connect. Figure 4.2 Remote desktop connection prompt window number 1 And click Yes on the next pop-up. Figure 4.3 Remote desktop connection prompt window number 2 The next window requires you to enter the Log On credentials provided to you in the confirmation send by DHI SaaS. (Please note that this is NOT the same as the credentials defined by you during the MIKE by DHI SaaS registration) The first time you Log On, you will be asked to change your password note that the new password must contain more than 6 characters and a mix of upper/lowercase and digits. Once logged on, you may operate the Virtual PC as any other PC. The chosen software is pre-installed and ready to use.

15 4.2.2 Reboot This button reboots the specific Virtual PC in question. It will terminate any simulation running on the PC but will not remove data Shut Down This command terminates your Virtual PC. Caution is recommended here. If you shut down a Virtual PC the set-up and any data stored on the PC will be gone. This button should only be used when you want to terminate a Virtual PC and thus stop paying for the service on that specific PC. Please note that a Virtual PC cannot be terminated from inside the Virtual PC, but only from the SaaS platform Disconnect To disconnect from a Virtual PC, please close the Virtual PC window and the below message will appear. Your simulations will keep running and you keep paying hourly charges Log Off When you log off from a Virtual PC, your simulations stop running, but the Virtual PC is NOT shut down, so you will still pay hourly charges. Be aware that this is not the same as shutting down. A Virtual PC cannot be shut down/terminated from inside the Virtual PC, but only from the SaaS platform. Step-by-step guide 15

16 MIKE by DHI Software as a Service (SaaS) 4.3 Transfer of Data to the Virtual PC Once logged into the Virtual PC you may want to transfer data for running existing setups. There are several options for transferring data: Use the local C-drive mapped to your Virtual PC Use an ftp-site In general, whenever transferring large amounts of data, consider compressing it. For your convenience DHI has installed the 7-Zip utility, which works much the same as a standard Winzip. 7-Zip is integrated with Windows Explorer through a file context menu. It is recommended to use 7-Zip to compress files larger than 2GB on Windows Server 2003 systems Using the local C-drive The most convenient way of transferring data to a Virtual PC is to share your local disk. However, this option is not recommended for large data transfers because the protocol used by Windows is not optimized for that. Sharing your local disk works in such a way that every time you log on to a Virtual PC, it will map your local C-drive as a remote drive to the Virtual PC. You will be able to see the drive if you navigate to My Computer. The drive will have a name similar to C on XXX, where XXX is the name of your local computer. To make your local disk available to the Virtual PC please refer to this guide: In addition to the instructions given in the guide you must save your changes. Return to the General tab and click Save Using an ftp-site To transfer data to the Virtual pc it is recommended to use an ftp site such as ftp.mycompanysftpsite.com. An ftp site may be accessed through your file explorer. You need to change some security settings on the Virtual PC to be able to access

17 an ftp site. To do this, please follow the steps below (and see Figure 2.26): 1. Go to Control panel -> Internet options -> Security 2. Click the sites button, i.e. -> Trusted sites 3. Add your companies ftp site and press Add 4. Click Close 5. Click OK Figure 4.4 How to change security settings in virtual computer for ftp-access Step-by-step guide 17

18 MIKE by DHI Software as a Service (SaaS) 5 ACCOUNT ACTIVITY 5.1 Command History Information about present and previous activity in your account can be found under the Account Activity tab. Here you may also configure additional notifications. Account activity is presented globally, i.e. it shows all activity across all regions. The command history shows an overview of commands issued by you to control your Virtual PCs. Any system commands (e.g. a shutdown issued by the system to terminate a failed instance) are not recorded here. The command history is shown in a table with the following columns: RequestID: This is an internal (DHI) request ID assigned to a Virtual PC upon ordering. InstanceID: This is the AWS (Amazon Web Services) system generated unique ID of the instance (Virtual PC). Command: The command issued by the user. Possible commands include Order meaning that the user has ordered a Virtual PC, and Shutdown - meaning that the user has shut down an ordered Virtual PC. Package Name: This is the name of the particular product package being purchased e.g. MIKE by DHI All Products 2014 ExecutedAt: The date and time (UTC) at which the command was executed. 5.2 My Costs Your use of Virtual PC s will be billed on a monthly basis. The My Costs page provides an overview of your cost details on a monthly basis. The default page shows the costs accrued during the current month (i.e. the current billing period). The drop-down menu may be used to select a different month. Note that Virtual PCs that have been running during more than one billing period (i.e. more than one month) will appear on several billing statements. Thus the My Costs page does not show the total cost of running a Virtual PC, but the total cost of running the Virtual PC in the selected billing period. Note that the minimum incurred cost for a started Virtual PC corresponds to one hour of use.

19 The cost details are shown in a table with the following fields: InstanceID: This is the AWS (Amazon Web Services) system generated unique ID of the instance (Virtual PC). InstanceState: The current state of the instance. This field will thus indicate if an instance is running or has been shut down. Package Name: The product variant of the instance (e.g. MIKE by DHI All Products 2014). UnitPrice: The total hourly cost (in USD) of the image purchased. This price is exclusive of VAT and other taxes and duties. OrderedAt: The date and time at which the Virtual PC was ordered (UTC) ShutdownAt: The date and time (if applicable) at which the Virtual PC was shut down TotalHours: The total number of hours that the Virtual PC has been running. Partial hours of use counts as one hour, thus fractions of hours are rounded up. TotalCost: The total cost of running the Virtual PC in the shown billing period (USD). The total cost incurred in the billing period (USD) is shown below the table. It should be noted that costs displayed are exclusive of VAT and other taxes and duties. 5.3 My Notifications The MIKE by DHI SaaS service will automatically send an to your registered address if any of your Virtual PCs have been running for more than 24 hours. The My Notifications page offers you the opportunity to configure additional notifications either when the total cost incurred in a billing period has exceeded a certain amount, or by sending the notifications to additional addresses. You must acknowledge that the notification services are provided without any warranty, and that it is at all times your own responsibility to monitor the status of and the costs accrued by all your Virtual PCs.
