This page provides details about the Server Information available on the Solution Manager. It includes technical specifics about the Solution Server connection, such as Solution Location, Local Computer Management, Local Search Folders, and Connected Server Information. In the Manager workspace, click on Server Information to manage remote server settings and services.

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 look 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\".TraceLogs" folder |

The Project Server denies if the Projects list is using the Local or Remote computer <<<<. what does the ProjectServer deny? or is the ProjectServer denied?>>>>. This configuration is located at the Server tab, and the currently defined ProjectServer is displayed in the bottom left on the Project List page.
This section defines how to find additional project on the Local or Remote computer, according to the ProjectServer Configuration.
On the Local Computer
The projects exhibited in the Project Selector list are the ones set in Local Search Folders when the application started to run.
If you copy a new project (.tproj extention) to a folder listed in Local Search Folders, it will not be exhibited in the list right away; it is necessary to click the Refresh button to refresh the list.
In order to add or remove a folder from the search paths:
Click "Find Project..." to display a list of existing search paths. If the "Find Project..." button is not visible, check the Project Server configuration and change it to Localhost. <<<<<ainda temos as funções listadas abaixo?>>>>>>
- Add or remove paths from the search list
- Define other search criteria below

Folder Visibility and Remote Access configuration
Any folder included in Local Search Folders has controls for visibility and remote access.
Permissions for remote access are set by folder, so place your solutions in
Allowing Remote Access
Any folder included on Local Search Folders can be enabled or not for Remote Access.
The permissions for remote users 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.

ProjectServer service must be running to accept the remote connections. If using the Embedded Web Server (TWebServer) platform, no configuration is required. If using Microsoft IIS web server, see Installing on Microsoft IIS. |
On the Remote Computer
When connected to a remote computer, the Search Folders and allowing access to the projects shall be executed on the Remote Computer. <<<<??>>>>>On the client side, it is only possible to connect to server and enter the Virtual Path key that define which paths from the remote computer you have access.
The process to check if the remote Server meets all requirements to allow remote access is described in Multi-User Collaborative Development.
Engineering users can configure the server project by using workstations, which are attached to the network, instead of having to work on the server itself.
To use this feature on all computers connected to the same network, the following configurations are required:
Work Faster
Speed up development by having a developers/engineers team working simultaneously in the same project — no need for merging or importing!
Work Safer
Remote Engineering allows you to have developers utilize a central shared repository and edit a project even when remote (not logged into the project server itself).
As long as the developers are on the same network, they can get to their projects, keeping your server safer by reducing the number of people who need to directly and remotely log into it.
To use this feature on all computers connected to the same network, the following configurations are required:

Server Licensing Verification
Open the Welcome Screen and go to theLicense tab. You should see a square box with information on the license.Under the Engineering Userfield, you will find the amount of concurrent engineering users that are supported by the current license.
Setup the Project Server to Remote:Localhost, instead of Local (Direct local file access, not using Project Server)
A Project cannot be opened for editing on local and remote simultaneously. If this occurs, anyone that remotely connects to the Project will view the project as ReadOnly.
ProjectServer Service Verification
Check if the ProjectServer service is running on both local and remote computers using the procedure described at Service Verification.
