Saving ZUP files when using CITRIX

knight

Hi there,

We have a client who is using Navision 2.60 on SQL Server... and people from various states are actually logging on to Navision via Citrix Client.

The problem is because of a limited number of Citrix Client licenses, it has been setup that after 15 minutes of inactivity the user is kicked off Citrix Client and therefore out of Navision. However for some reason this appears to delete their ZUP file and they therefore lose all their settings.

Is there any way of preventing the loss of their ZUP file even though they are getting kicked out of their session?

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Navision only updates the zup-file, after successfully exiting the application. If the program is interupted abnormally, the zup-file is not updated. I don't know why it deletes the file, but you can try to copy the zup-file before starting Navision. Just create a batch-file to start Navision. In that batch-file you could check if the zup-file exists. If not, you can copy it back to the original location. Then you start Navision.

Hope this gets you started.

Hi Knight,

the problem is in the setup of the terminal services...or citrix in this case.
There is an option in the properties dialogue of the terminal services which says to delete temporary files after session closing.
Find it and unmark the check box.

Hi Knight

you can also change the path of the zup file in the commandline parameters of the shared application(nav client) and put in the home directory of each user...

afaik there ist no way to save your zup file without closing your application. Even if you close your application by shutdown windows the zup file will not be saved.

To avoid to loose the information to connect to your server you can use a link to finsql.exe with following parameters:

"Your Installationpath\finsql.exe" Servername="Your Server",Database="Your Database",Company="Your Company",Ntauthentication="Yes or No" (in German "Ja oder Nein" ,NetType="Your Nettype",id="Zupfilename without .zup"

The only difference is that the former userid will not be preselected.
