The following steps are required when migrating an existing installation to ICEIgloo Core Engine.
Installation
Install the following applications: IglooCoreEngine, Igloo Core Service (Automatically installed with the IglooCoreEngine installer), ICE Igloo Control Panel, Igloo Setup.

The warping and blending configuration from the Warper needs to be exported to ICEIgloo Core Engine. Make sure the Warper is at least the Summer 22 version (1.20.0.2210193) otherwise the warp files will not be exported correctly.
...
Select the Config > High Performance Warping > ICE I C E > Export Warping File and set the export folder to C:\ProgramData\Igloo Vision\IglooCoreEngine\warping . The export process takes a couple of minutes to complete. Once completed the warping folder should contain files with names like Screen-mask.bmp, Screen-edgeBlend.bmp and Screen-warp*.bmp.

You can delete the mask files if not required and this has been known to improve performance or solve issues with aliasing. |

If there is no pop-up to select the warping export folder, this can be set in the Warper AppSettings.xml file in the tag <iceFolderPath>. |
...
If there are issues with exported warp files, a temporary workaround is to run the Warper to display the ICE Igloo Core Engine Canvas. This is done by enabling the Spout canvas share from the Workspace menu in ICE Igloo Core Engine and enabling the ‘ICE ‘Igloo Core Engine Canvas’ entry in the Layers > External Application Inputs menu in the Warper.
...
Layouts
The default layout in ICE Igloo Core Engine needs to be configured to fit the physical screen. The default layout consists of 4 equally sized regions arranged horizontally. Edit the regions so that they have appropriate names and sizes. For instance, if the screen consists of 3 walls, you can name the regions as ‘Left Wall’, ‘Centre Wall’ and ‘Right Wall’. The fourth region can either be deleted or set to the full canvas size and named as ‘Walls’.
...
If the TruePerspective settings have already been generated, you can copy the TruePerspective.xml file from the Warper’s settings folder (C:\ProgramData\Igloo Vision\IglooWarper) to the ICE settings folder (C:\ProgramData\Igloo Vision\IglooCoreEngine\settings).
Workspaces
Igloo Core Engine ships with a ready made workspace called Example Workspace. Use this workspace to test the system and, in particular, test the ready made sessions for layer types like YouTube 360 and Street View. Overwrite the sessions if any changes are required but aim to keep the Example Workspace unchanged so it is available for subsequent testing and demos.

A conversion tool is available for converting Igloo Capture project files to Igloo Core Engine Session files. Please contact Igloo support for more info. |
Create a new workspace and use it to create a custom Home layer based on an existing Homescreen in the customers Igloo Home setup. If there are any assets such as backgrounds, logos and fonts, then these can be used to create a new Home theme in Igloo Core Engine Add any tiles and grids to match the existing Homescreen and create sessions to match some the Igloo Capture and Igloo Web project files (.ivc and .ivwts). This can also be done as part of the customer training and is a good hands-on exercise to help the users transfer their knowledge from the Warper suite to Igloo Core Engine
