GOAL:

How to reference multiple AppServers without changing code using WebClient?

GOAL:

How to reference a different appsrvtt.d file within WebClient.

FACT(s) (Environment):

Windows
OpenEdge 10.x
OpenEdge Web Category: WebClient

CAUSE:

Without direct code changes to force the client to specific appservers or without specific coding to reference a tailored file that the client can use for flexible referencing of AppServer connections the WebClient can not communicate with a different AppServer.

If the WebClient is making use of ADM2 code, the ADM2 code uses a file named appsrvtt.d to identify the AppServer(s) with which it will communicate.

FIX:

A workaround to this problem might be to use different .ini files to modify the propath the ADM2 code within the WebClient will search for files.

By using the WebClient Deployment Packager to make a slight modification to the command line of the deployed WebClient application the PROPATH within the INI file could be varied to change where different pieces of code or different appsrvtt.d files were found by the client.

This would require multiple files to be included in the WebClient Assembler in different deployment directories.
