Ditto that. Had him on-site earlier this week to install VBI and in the process he cleaned up a lot of Progress problems and gave me some good tuning tips. Well worth the extra cost over a phone/remote install (no travel costs where we are). I might even consider his upgrade service for going to 6.0 because paying to have it done right may be a lot less costly (and frustrating) in the long run.

Yes I am publishing Vantage as an application, and yes I leave the
Tempdirectory blank.
I also have tried publishing the Desktop, and launching Vantage from
there, and still the same problem.
PLEASE test this on your system.. I can't get anywhere with Tech Support
until someone else has the same problem. The ONLY person in tech
support who's eyes don't glaze over when I mention Citrix is Ben Nixon.
He has at least tried to help me.
FYI, Vantage runs fine, it is the Report Builder reports which don't
work. Also when I try to run a Report Builder report, I check the temp
working directory, and I find a file (eg P35138RB.TXT) which contains
the following:
RB-REPORT-NAME=Open Sales Orders [NFW]9
RB-REPORT-LIBRARY=V:\mfgsys\ReptBldr\SO.prl
RB-DB-CONNECTION= -db V:\mfgsys60\db\MFGSYS -N TCP -S 6000 -H mark4
RB-PRINT-DESTINATION=D
RB-WINDOW-TITLE=Open Sales Orders [NFW]
RB-DISPLAY-ERRORS=T
RB-DISPLAY-STATUS=T
RB-MEMO-FILE=
RB-OUTPUT-FILE=
RB-PRINTER-NAME=
RB-PRINTER-PORT=
RB-TEST-PATTERN=F
RB-NUMBER-COPIES=1
RB-INCLUDE-RECORDS=?
RB-FILTER=
Normally this file is created, and automatically deleted by Progress.
But in my case, this file is never deleted, and I never get the filter
box.
Again, if I specify a TempDirectory in the MFG file, the Report Builder
reports work fine!
This used to work in Vantage
5.2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been VERY frustrating!

I am using Citrix Metaframe 1.8 with v 5.1 in Production currently and
also testing Citrix XP in the same environment. I have a Vantage v6.0
test box as well, but haven't tested Citrix against it. Are you using
published applications and if so are also leaving the working directory
'line' blank as well?

Subject: [Vantage] Citrix and Vantage 6
We have been on Vantage 6 since 7/4/03. We are having a problem with
Citrix and Vantage 6, and Tech Support has not been helpfull. Their
response has been "we have other customers who are using Citrix and
Vantage 6 and they are not having that problem!".
The problem is in using a blank "TempDirectory=" in the MFG file. If
you leave it blank, a temp directory is automatically created. In
previous versions of vantage this worked great!
Now with Vantage 6, if I set the TempDirectory blank,launch Vantage and
try to run a Report Builder report, the filter box never appears!
The work around I found is to map a drive letter (say G) for each user's
session, and create another MFG file with the TempDirectory=G:\vntgwork.
Once done the Report Builder Reports work fine!
The problem is that I have 60 users, spread across 3 Citrix servers with
load balancing. I would have to create a share on each server for the
user and map a drive letter to it.
I wiped and re-loaded one of the Citrix boxes, and still having the
problem.
I tried using %Userprofile% for the TempDirectory, and still no workie.
Is there anyone out there using Citrix on Vantage 6 and NOT having this
problem??????
