FMS Ini Files - RDS Environment

[revingtosh]

Hi Everyone - I'm after a little assistance if necessary.

 

We have successfully got SIMS working for our schools in an RDS Environment - every school as there own .ini file for sims. So thank you for the assistance from your guys! - we deploy a slightly different SIMS Icon to each school and it works a charm.

 

However - when we apply the same principle to FMS - this doesn't work. The app keeps on defaulting to an old ini file which is in the program folder

 

For example - a sample SIMS Shortcut contains these entries:-

 

Shortcut Name:- SIMS - GGH (school site code)

Target:- C:\Program Files (x86)\SIMS\SIMS .net\Pulsar.exe

Arguments:- /CONNECT:"C:\SIMSConnectFiles\SIMSini\GGH"

Start In:- C:\Program Files (x86)\SIMS\SIMS .net\

 

But when I transpose this idea into the FMS Environment it doesn't work:-

 

Shortcut Name:- FMS - GGH (school site code)

Target:- c:\Program Files (x86)\SIMS\FMSSQL\Finance.exe

Arguments:- /CONNECT:"c\SIMSConnectFiles\newFMSini\FFP\FMSConnect.ini"

Start In:- c:\Program Files (x86)\SIMS\FMSSQL

 

What I would say, is that the .INI File within the FMS Program Folder does already contain an entry for one of our schools. Is there a way to set FMS to ignore this .ini & null this out via the command line? I have tried to delete the .ini but FMS wont start up without complaining about a missing .Ini.

 

Any help would be fantastic

Hi, not too sure if this would be helpful but what we do with our multi-tenant RDS is redirect to a mapped drive which is different depending on each school, the FMSConnect in Program Files looks like this:

[FMSConnection]

Redirect=S:\SIMS

Trusted_Connection=No
