BDE and Terminal Server?

Hi All,

Has any one had any experience with the BDE and a Terminal Server? One
of our clients has problems from time to time and we were wondering if
the BDE is shared between users of if there is one per user? I am no
expert with the terminal server.

We get occasional and un-reproducable AV's from time to time - but only
from the client using the terminal server.

Any help much appreciated.

We tried to make a BDE App that was on terminal server and ran into
problems. The BDE uses one config. file for all users and its path is stored
in the Local Machine part of the registry.

Out of curiosity, what problem did that cause?

If you are having problems with the BDE running, because of registry
permissions problems like the BDE not "seeing" MSSQL as a valid native
driver or the BDE not saving the BCD for rounding issues with SQL. Modify
the permissions of the following registry settings to allow all users full
control.

This would have to be done on each W2K client PC.

Start button, Run, regedt32 [ENTER]

For the BDE:
hkey_local_machine
borland
database engine

Highlight the entry shown above, then click on Security from the Menu Bar,
choose Permissions, have them choose their restricted users group, and check
mark the full control. Then click on Apply, then OK.

I have been running various apps on high usage terminal servers, the only
issue I had was that of a lock file grown too large error, this was
rectified by following Borland community paper. Other than that my
Interbase/BDE/Delphi 5 apps work a treat on terminal services.

We too have been using TS to run our application as well as Citrix.

We developed our own .CFG file. When the app. starts, it reads information
from a flat file that sets up the BDE environment. The LocalPath for each
user logged in get's redirected.

In other words if USERA and USERB log on, their T drive gets mapped to T: =
\temp\usera and \temp\userb respectively. Then in the .CFG file we set the
Paradox local temp path to T:.

Under Citrix and TS there are ways to map a drive to a default path. This
was required to get around different local paths required by Paradox.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Eric,

We are using SQlServer so the temp paths should not matter. We have now
upped the SHAREDMEMSIZE and MEMSIZE parameters quite a bit and are
waiting to see what happens.
