Crystal files also go there. We have no problems.

I would be careful with that setting, although it works nice and fast,
it can also mess up your Vantage Crystal reports, since they are
manually set to a TEMP dir location. So if you have any custom reports
you might get errors. EX the packing slip report creates DBF files in
the TEMP dir for printing. So vantage will place them in its default
working dir, but Crystal will be looking in c:\mfgwrk61 or c:\vntgwork
or anywhere else you might have set that reports default dir. Since you
can't make separate prints (reports) for Local VNTG and Terminal VNTG,
you might experience some problems. I suggest doing it my way, just to
be on the safe side.

If you have the following line for the Terminal Server's .mfg file:
tempdirectory=
it'll use the user's local temp directory in their profile, not
disturbing
anyone else's, and the files will be nicely deleted when they log off.

I'm using a Citrix Metaframe Server, and have no problems, but like I
told on more person here, if you want it to work faster and more
smoothly, you should edit your MFG files to match the local drive setup
of the Terminal server (actually not doing this in some cases might
render Vantage useless - especially if you are restricting there rights
to access the local C drive):
[MFG Startup]
Executable=V:\PRGS91D\bin\prowin32.exe
Database=V:\mfgsys60\db\MFGSYS
IniFile=V:\mfgsys60\mfgsys.ini
ParameterFile=V:\mfgsys60\db\mfgsys.pf
ConnectOptions=-N TCP -H privan -S 6000 -ld MFGSYS
TempDirectory=m:\vntgwork
StartupProcedure=mainmenu.w
OtherParameters=-rand 2 -q -basekey ini
mfgsys=VN
mfglanguage=enu
mfgtranslator=yes
;MFGODBCpasswd=sysprogress
;MFGODBCUser=sysprogress
;MFGODBCDbse=mfgsys
;MFGODBCServer=Progress91D
[WFClient]
What I mean is set your temp dir to be local to the terminal server.
Also I suggest adding this to you login script or setting it in the
schedule to run at a time that no one is working and logged into the
server (at least the part about the M drives)
copy \\pripdc\netlogon\ifmember.exe c:\winnt
DEL c:\vntgwork\*.* /f /q
DEL m:\vntgwork\*.* /f /q
DEL m:\vntgwork1\*.* /f /q
Since I have 30 users that log on from work and home, I have two temp
dir's and divide the mfg files evenly, so they don't have conflicts
trying to create the same temp file at the same time. Also if you are
running AD, make sure you give the user local modification rights to his
TEMP dir and give everyone rights to delete files from the Terminal
Server directories.

4 GB Ram will handle 100 users. Recommend checking out Enterprise
Server. Standard doesn't effectively us above 2GB of Ram even with the
reg hack. It reserves close to 2 Gb for the OS on standard version. I
put 4GB of ram on my Vantage server and the max db I can load into
memory is 1.3 GB.
I would think this would be the recommended way to go to V8. 80% of my
client computers are over 1 Ghz but only the machines in Engineering
have 1 GB of Ram. I've got 120 client computers. The hardware upgrade
for just the clients will keep us from upgrading to V8. I'm waiting to
see how many other people view this as the way to go to V8.

We are also thinking about using TS with our upgrade to 6.1 on a new
server. We have over 100 users.
How much is the license cost for client side TS? How much server
memory is required.
Thanks,
