Server Workspace
After clicking Find Projects in the Project Management interface, you will be addressed to the Project Server screen, which allows to easily set a project to auto-startup and define if the Project Selector list will exhibit projects from a local or remote computer.
| Project Server | ||
|---|---|---|
| Field | Type | Description |
Projects list built from | Text | Shows the options below, where user can choose either if the project list will be built from local computer files or a server. |
Local Computer Files | Radio button | Sets project selector list to be built from the local computer. |
| Project Server | Radio button/Field | Sets a server to build the project selector list from. |
| Connect | Command button | Connects to the project server set. |
| Update... | Command button | Updates project server status. |
| Server Information | Text | Shows server IPs. |
| Running Services | Text | Shows current server's running services. |
| Local Search Folders | Text | Exhibit local folders set to search projects and the options below. |
Add Search Path  | Command button | Adds new local path to search for projects. |
Remove Search Path  | Command button | Removes a local path to search for projects. |
| Allow Remote Access | Checkbox | Allows remote access to the local paths set. |
| Allow Remote Run | Checkbox | Allows running a local project remotely. |
| Virtual Path | Field | 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 folder. |
The platform will scan for .tproj 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 Project. If an error occurs when the project is loading, a log is created at "C:\Users\Public\Documents\TLocalSettings\".
Projects list built from
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 file) to a folder listed in Local Search Folders, it will not be exhibited in the Project Selector until you click the Refresh button.
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.
Project Server
To exhibit a project 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.
Remote Access and Remote Run
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 in one folder, or create a folder for each one.
To manage remote access for your projects:
- After adding a search path, select the one you would like to allow remote access.
- Check Allow Remote Access to enable remote access for selected folder.
Check Allow Remote Run to enable projects from selected folder to be run by remote users.
- If necessary, enter a Virtual Path.
Multi-user Development
For information about how to collaborate with other users during the project development, please check Multi-user Development.
