Re: Need help setting up Power Link / Browser for CITRIX users

[Kevin.Gerard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

   I work with dozens of Power Link installations, over a huge variety of VPN
   connections.  Citrix is really the only viable solution for fast response
   times for many of these installations.  Having said that I keep hearing
   "7.8" will be better as far as network chatter and performance.
    
   Power Link can run horrible depending on how many hops the traffic has to
   go through from what I have been told by network experts.  If you are
   doing any Enterprise Integrator develoment over VPN, it can be a show
   stopper (for example 25 minutes to generate host code).  Having said that
   a number of our smaller installs do run relatively efficient over VPN.  
    
   For global installations it's probably a requiremente (Citrix). 
    
   Again, a lot really probably depends on your network; so many variables.
    
   For remote Enterprise Integrator development, remote desktop works well
   fyi
    
   Note I can probably put you in touch w/ a few customers that recently got
   Citrix to work. It was a bit tricky but is working well now!
    
   Good luck!

     Roger,

     What is the objective?  Citrix seems like a lot of unnecessary overhead.
      It
     would be appropriate for XA prior to Release 7, but R7 is a thin Java
     client
     that only requires a browser to run.

     You may want to see what the results will be with the java client
     deployed
     before going to the extra effort to create a Citrix server setup.

     users

     As part of our implementation of Infor XA R7 client applications, we
     need
     to let our CITRIX (thin client) users have access.
     We are working thru an instructions sheet from INFOR (Run R7 clients on
     Citrix or Terminal Server  ) that came with the note that  "Technical
     support for setting up Citrix or Terminal Server to run Link Manager and
     Power-Link is not available  ".

     We created 2 XML files as instructed in the notes, but these do not seem
     to
     be used?
     Create a file called MyReplicationProperties.xml that contains the
     following and copy it to the /MAPICS/Web/LinkManager IFS directory on
     the
     iSeries host
     Create a file called MyReplicationProperties.xml that contains the
     following and copy it to the /MAPICS/Web/LinkManager IFS directory on
     the
     iSeries host

     Now, the original user can access INFOR XA PowerLink any where he wants
     from our CITRIX server, but attempts to login as another user kicks-off
     an
     attempt to re-install this again.  Is someone supporting CITRIX users
     with
     R7 PowerLink that might suggest what we are missing?  Thanks
