Vantage & terminal server

Yahoo Archive
1
Okay, here is how we are set up with TS on Win2K.

Each TS user has the following in the command line for the Terminal Services
properties:

c:\epic50\progress\bin\prowin32.exe -db v:\vantage\db\vantage.db -N TCP -H
PRCN07 -S epic50 -pf v:\vantage\db\vantage.pf -p v:\vantage\mainmenu.w

and the working directory is set for t:\.

The terminal server itself has a shared directory called users, which
contains a directory with each user's name. When a TS user logs in, a
script runs that connects v: to \\<vantagesrv>\epic50 and t: to
\\<termsrv>\users\%username%.

My setup above assumes your terminal server and Vantage server are separate,
and that you have Progress installed on the terminal server (per Epicor's
recommendation). Epicor has more information on their web site about running
Vantage over Terminal Services.

Hope that helps!

I want to be able to start a Vantage session automatically after connecting
using Terminal Server Win2000. I had it set up to automatically launch the
VTG file, but this gives me various errors.

Has anybody set up WIN2K Terminal Server to automatically launch Vantage 5.1
and have the users see nothing else but that one application?

Thanks,

Fausto

We do it with 5.0. I would assume its the same. Just put a command line to
launch Vantage in the Terminal Services properties for each user.

There are about 7 users who use Terminal Server. Therefore, I created a
separate VTG file for each user as well as a separate temp directory for
each user.

Using the TS Client Connection Manger, I go to the Programs Tab. I check the
button to Start the following program:

m:\vantage\termvtg\termservKB.vtg

Start in: d:\users\%username%\vntgwrk51

I have modified the individual VTG files accordingly.

When I double click the icon and log on to Terminal Server I get the
following error message:

The system cannot find the file specified. This initial program cannot be
started m:\vantage\termvtg\termservKB. Please check the initial program in
the client configuration.

I made sure that the appropriate permissions exist on the termvtg folder.
Furthermore, if I log on to the Terminal server without automatically
launching the VTG file, I am able to run m:\vantage\termvtg\termservKB.vtg
without any difficulties.

In your set up, do you point to the VTG file or was it an executable? Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

Fausto,

1. Modify (rename) your vtg file and delete the temp directory. Citrix will
assign a folder to the user under c:\temp. Do not attempt to change reports
with Crystal in the terminal server (unless it is format only - do not set
location of dbf files or database confirmation in Citrix).
2. Try creating a batch file that contains the link to the new Vantage.vtg
file (for publishing applications, it seems more stable when you do publish
a batch file rather than the link).
3. Make sure the user has mapped the network drive where Vantage is.
Including the command "net use r:(drive to map) \\(servername)\epic51" in
the batch file does not work all the time for me.

Thank You,

I created a batch file and it worked without any problems. I should have
thought of that myself.

Thanks again.

Are you using Citrix or just TS? There is an easier way to set up TS 2000
than using a batch file for each user.

If you are including login and password, you will need to set up separate
batch files. Otherwise, you can point all users (if necessary) to the batch
file.
