NOTE: Skyline is compatible only with Ardia 1.1 and is NOT compatible with Ardia 1.0 and we do not recommend installing / attempting to connect skyline to Ardia 1.0 (no compatibility and no support for this specific topology).
Adding an Ardia account to Skyline
An Ardia account can be added before importing a file from Ardia Platform or can be added when first importing a file from the Ardia Platform.
To add an Ardia account before importing a file (one time setup in Skyline):
- On the Tools menu, click Options
- Click the Remote Accounts tab.
- Click the Edit List button.
- In Remote Account Details form Account type field choose Ardia
-
In the Alias field, enter an Ardia Username.
This is the Ardia Platform username with which you wish to log in to the Ardia Platform. Please note, that a different account might be used by your organization to register Skyline to the Ardia Platform and a different account may be used by yourself to log in to the Ardia Platform. This Alias field is for the Login.
- In the Server URL field, enter the Ardia Platform Server URL.
- Check Delete RAW files after importing checkbox if you want this. Otherwise, the file is left on the local file system.
- Click the Connect button to establish a login session with the Ardia Platform.
If the window displays "Log in to Ardia Server" with button "Login", this instance of Skyline is already registered with the Ardia Platform server, so Click here to skip to Login.
Registering a Skyline Instance

- Click View Account to open the Ardia account home page in the browser and sign out of the Ardia account.

Further troubleshooting
-
What happens if an Ardia administrator removes the Skyline installation from the Ardia Platform?
An Ardia administrator can remove the Skyline registration from the Ardia Platform in the Ardia Client Registration and Management utility.
This will prevent that Skyline installation from making further connections to that Ardia Platform installation.
This will not affect any ongoing downloads.
A User with the correct privileges, however, can connect said Skyline instance back to the Ardia Platform by following the steps in
Registering a Skyline Instance.
-
What happens if the User logs out of Ardia in their browser?
In this case, the User will have to re-login to Ardia if they wish to download any other .raw files from the Ardia Platform to Skyline.
This will not affect any ongoing downloads.
