Winframe, setting up for R-code & VBX's the right way.

DRAFT COPY - Currently under review and edit.

INTRODUCTION:
=============
To fully be able to use the Citrix Winframe together with Progress the
whole system has to be configured in a somewhat different way than on
NT3.51. The K-base handles the problem regarding sharing r-code, VBX's
and setting up temp directorys.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
Setting up the Winframe server as described here, could possible solve
the problems that have been described in K-base 16931 and will solve
any problems where temporary files are getting corrupted. It will also
allow 2 users or more to use the same VBX's.


PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
To set up the Winframe multiuser environment you must first understand
how temp files & temp directorys are handled by Winframe.

Winframe will create a directory called USERS\DEFAULT where all users
without a home directory will have their startup and temp files. This
is not good as possible "Cannot create lbi00" errors will occour.
To have the temp files seperate a user directory must be created.
What seems to be the most logically thing to do is map a directory in
the login script using:
IF xx%COMPUTERNAME%xx==xxWINFRAME%xx NET USE T: \\WINFRAME\%USERNAME%
or something similiar to this and then in the .PF for the Progress
Program have: -T t:
To set the Home working directory, the USER-MANAGER-FOR-DOMAINS must
be used, in the profile it is possible to set the directory which in
later logins will be used as the T:\ drive. This overcomes the problem
of having to manually create each directory. For performance the
directorys should be locally on the server.

VBX's are not able to be shared which will happen if the home
directory has not been set, so doing the above will solve this as a
side effect.
