The Event Feed module provides Event Feed and PC² REST services for a programming contest.

Startup

1. Create a FEEDER pc2 account.
2. Use the pc2ef script to start the Event Feed module

This command will bring up the event feed server and REST web service server GUI. The event feed server will not be started by default.

bin/pc2ef

This command will start the event feed server non-GUI. The event feed server will be started by default.

bin/pc2ef --login feeder1 --password feeder1 --nogui

Non-gui startup options

On the machine where the feeder/board will be started the web services can be enabled and disable using settings found in pc2ws.properties.

Sample pc2ws.properties file

# enable starttime web service
enableStartTime=yes

# enable language web service
enableLanguages=yes

# enable problems web service

Each web server service defaults to NOT enabled for security reasons

Here is a sample of the output to the pc2 log:
