Solutions Location
The list of solutions presented can include files from your local computer or from a remote server. If you select Remote, you will need to specify the server address and connect to it.
To connect to a remote server, use the IP address and port of the target Solution Server. You may be required to enter an Access Key, which is the password defined on the target remote server. This configuration is available under Local Computer Management.
Local Computer
The Solutions exhibited in the Solution Selector list are the ones set in Local Search Folders when the application starts to run.
If you copy a new Solution (.tproj or .dbsln file) to a folder listed in Local Search Folders, it will not be exhibited in the Solution Selector until you click the Refresh button. To add or remove a folder from the search paths:
Click Find Solutions file.
Click Add Search Path to insert a new path;
Click Remove Search Path to remove a path.
Check Allow Remote Access and Allow Remote Run for multi-user development. (Optional)
Remote Server
To display the Solution List from a remote server, the client computer must be connected to the Solution Server using its IP address and port.
If you have a computer where the solution files are stored and managed, and other computers from which you want to work remotely on those solution files, both computers must have the software platform installed and licensed. The client computer needs to connect to the solution server by using the IP address and port of the computer that stores the solutions. You can also connect to the solution server on your own computer using the IP address 127.0.0.1 and the port where the Solution Server is running. By default, the Solution Server runs on port 10108.
The TWebServices must be running to accept remote connections. See Service Verification for more information.
If using the Embedded Web Service (TWebService) platform, no configuration is required. If using Microsoft IIS web server, see Installing on Microsoft IIS.
Connected Server Information
The Connected Server Information displays details such as the operating system, server URL, server IP, installed versions, and running services. By default, the SolutionServer operates on port 10108 and includes services like Hardkey and WebServices. Additionally, you can configure services (WebServices, MQTT Broker, and Hardkey) to start as Windows services.
Local Computer Management
The Local Computer Management defines an AccessKey to connect securely with the Solution Server hosted on the local computer, adding an extra security layer for remote access. It includes configuration fields for setting and verifying the AccessKey: the "Set AccessKey" field for entering the password and the "Verify" field for re-entering the password to confirm it. The "Apply" button saves the AccessKey settings.
| Warning |

Pressing "Apply" with any input removes the AccessKey. |

Allow Remote |
For each search path you enable remote access, an extra layer of security can be added by defining the Virtual Path. This string works as a key required to access the project in that folder.
If the folder allows remote access and no virtual path is defined, any remote user connected to this server will have access to query projects from that folderIt enables remote access to the local paths set. |
| Info |
|---|
The platform will scan for .tproj dbSln files in the paths set. If the list is empty, check the search paths or the connection with the remote server. Also, try Creating a New ProjectSolution. If an error occurs when the project Solution is loading, a log is created at "C:\Users\Public\Documents\TLocalSettings\". |

To add or remove a folder from the search paths:
Click Find Projects.
- Click Add Search Path to insert a new path; Click Remove Search Path to remove a path.
- (Optional) Check Allow Remote Access and Allow Remote Run for multi-user development.
Server
To exhibit a server's project list, the Remote Access and Remote Run procedure must be performed on the client computer.
On the remote computer, it is only possible to connect to a server and enter the Virtual Path key that defines which paths from the client computer the access is allowed.
A ProjectServer service must be running to accept remote connections. See Service Verification for more information.
If using the Embedded Web Server (TWebServer) platform, no configuration is required. If using Microsoft IIS web server, see Installing on Microsoft IIS.
Any folder included on Local Search Folders can be enabled or not for Remote Access and Remote Run.
The permissions for remote access is by folder, therefore place your projects on the folders accordingly. You can keep many projects solutions in one folder , or create a separate folder for each one.
To manage
remote access foryour
projectsSolutions Folders:
After adding a search path, select the one you would like to allow remote access.
Check
Allow Remote AccessVisible to enable remote access for selected folder.
Check Allow Remote Run to enable projects Solutions from selected folder to be run by remote users.
- If necessary, enter a Virtual Path.
