Cannot launch FocPro app from SGD Webtop

Dear forum users,

My customer uses a FoxPro application for their IT heldesk. Basically they installed the application to their own PCs and able to launch the app.

Behaviour of FoxPro IT Helpdesk app:

- User login to windows Desktop.

- User will double-click My Computer and check if the Shared Network drive is connect ( Drive F ). Drive F contains the IT Helpdesk Database.

- Then user will click, Start, Program, and launch their app.

From SGD Windows Application Object:

--

Name: IT Helpdesk Client

Command path: C:\telbruapp\helpdesk\telbru.exe

Note: The rest of the setting are defaults.

From a Firefox browser:

--

- Launch browser and point URL to SGD.

- Enter username and password.

- On the left panel, click the IT Helpdesk Client app( I saw connection activity to Windows Server( blue back ground ) and the application did not launch and also i saw the error message " .ini file missing! Can't continue....(Network) ".

Note: I think, when i click the IT Helpdesk Client from SGD, the SGD straight-away connect and launch the app WITHOUT waiting the Drive F to connect. The app required the Drive F.

Can anyone help me on this ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Mohamed Ali.

Can you try to run the FoxPro application from a direct RDP session to the Windows Application Server and see if that works?

You can follow the instructions on my new blog:

Hi Remold,

Tks again for replying my post message.

I have solved the FoxPro problem.

Customer installed their FoxPro client app in Terminal Server and has created two users( user1 and user2 ). As in my previous post, i had mentioned the app required Network Shared Disk(Drive F) to connect bcos the database is in Drive F.

So, i RDP to TS1 and logged in as user1. I also created "Map Network Drive"

the Drive F and save the password.

Then, i RDP to TS1 and logged as user2 and did the same as for user1.

After that, i configured SGD's Windows Application Object and entered the full app path in App Command. Also in Advanced tab, i edit -dir "C:\telbruapp\helpdesk".

Now, from customer PC and laptop, user launched browser and login using their IDs and they can successfully launch the app.

Important: Previously in TS1, user2 does not have the Drive F access. So, i had created it and save the Network password.

Thanks Remold for your HELP and Guidance.

Really appreciated your help.

Regards,

Mohamed Ali.
