Terminal Server/Citrix

You will have to check with your Citrix help files.

Normally the vtg line would look like:

tempdirectory=%temp%

The % tells it to look at the system to pull that parameter which will
translate to the user temp directory. On your server, open a command prompt and
type SET and hit enter.
This will list the parameters on the system. Once you see the temp parameter
type ECHO %temp% and hit enter. Replace the word temp with your parameter
name and you will see that it will display the path. It works the same way in
Vantage. I am sure that Citrix uses its own parameter and no TEMP. TEMP is
the Microsoft default. You will want to use the Citrix default.

I hope that helps.

We currently use Citrix and I am having terrible difficulty getting
the temporary directories set up correctly for the Citrix clients. I
have a home directory on a Windows 2000 SBS that users are assigned
in Active Directory for Users and Computers. There is a mapped drive
set up in the login scripts that maps the X:\ drive to each users
home directory.

The problem I am running into is that the log in script does not
consistently map the X:\ drive when they log into Citrix. The login
script errors out saying that it is in use by another program, which
I can only assume is the windows program as their windows profiles
are stored in their home directory. Our Citrix terminal server
resides on a different server box than the home directories (they
are on a file and print server).

Any insight on getting the Citrix launch file to point in the right
temporary directory so we can run our modified crystal reports would
be greatly appreciated.

I run Terminal Services without Citrix but I would make a suggestion. Put
the temp directories on your Citrix server. You will see an increase in speed
and a decrease in network traffic. This would have the added benefit of using
your local drive letter that does not have to be mapped. If you download
Epicor's Terminal Services/Citrix installation guide, you will see that they
suggest this as well.

Just a suggestion,
Jeremy

Where can I find the Epicor's Terminal Services/Citrix installation
guide?

If I understand correctly you are suggesting that we set up a users
folder on the Citrix server to map to? I considered this, but wanted
to see if there was a way to connect to the user folders already set
up. I am guessing we need to keep approximately 2GB of space per
folder available to hold the temporary tables. Does that sound about
right?

Thanks

Teresa

If you use the Citrix Temp User folder then it will be emptied each time the
user logs off and then back on. There would be no need to map the drive as it
is a local drive and will be available to the user as long as you do not have
it blocked via security.

You can download the instructions from Epicor's Knowledge Base. Sign on to
their server and go to e-Portal and then go to Answerbook and then do a search
for Citrix.

Hope that helps,
Jeremy

I guess I am not sure what you mean by the Citrix Temp User folder?

If I use this Citrix Temp User folder, how do I call it out in the
vantage.mfg file as the temporary directory? It should be a common
drive letter and path so you can set location in your Crystal
Reports. This has been our main problem.

Thanks again for your input.
