Technics:CoPlanner Win-Client

As soon as Client directory was copied onto the computer, which should act as Win-Client, the Client is installed. You only have to adopt file ClientConfig.xml onto your system. This file is located in execution-directory of the Client.

ClientConfig.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" standalone="yes"?>
<ClientConfig>
   <IpSettings>
      <Version>1</Version>
      <Serverurl>https://meinzugriffsname:4443/coplanner</Server>
      <MaxRows>100000</MaxRows>
      <MaxCells>0</MaxCells>
   </IpSettings>
   <Languages>
      <Available>Deutsch|English</Available>
   </Languages>
</ClientConfig>

The following points have to be adopted:

Inscription	Description
Serverurl	URL, on which the CoPlanner Server runs.
MaxRows	This is the number of data sets, which the Server can receive maximally. Files should stand in relation to capacity of Client's computers. If the maximal determined number of data sets exceeds at loading of data sets in an input mask, the loading process will be interrupted and you get a message with the special request to reduce the quantity of files with the aid of filters.
MaxCells	This is the number of cells, which the Server can receive maximally via Matrix Builder. If this tag isn't available or 0, there is no limitation.
Languages Available	Those languages, which are indicated, are available as Logon language, so long as they are supported by CoPlanner Server. The description of language should be entered in national language and national character set. You find a list about available languages here.

ClientConfig.xml before CoP 10 HF 1.2

Inscription	Description
Server	Computer name, on which CoPlanner Server was installed.
Port	Portnumber of CoPlanner Server. Please fill in the same portnumber, which was filled in SvrConfig.xml as well.
MaxRows	This is the number of data sets, which the Server can receive maximally. Files should stand in relation to capacity of Client's computers. If the maximal determined number of data sets exceeds at loading of data sets in an input mask, the loading process will be interrupted and you get a message with the special request to reduce the quantity of files with the aid of filters.
MaxCells (ab 20080807)	This is the number of cells, which the Server can receive maximally via Matrix Builder. If this tag isn't available or 0, there is no limitation.
TcpFormatter	It determines the mode of transmission between client and server. It is possible to choose between „Bin“ for binary transmission, „Text“ for text transmission and "Native" for native transmission with the highest compression. Hint  "Native" is recommended as default. The chosen mode has to be adjusted both on server and on client (ClientConfig.xml) and both have to come to an agreement.
Languages Available	Those languages, which are indicated, are available as Logon language, so long as they are supported by CoPlanner Server. The description of language should be entered in national language and national character set. You find a list about available languages here.

Qualifications

At successful logon to CoPlanner Server a XML-file is set up in User-directory, which contains settings. At next logon these settings are proposed.

Installation of Windows-Client by ClickOnce

It's possible to intall the CoPlanner Client by ClickOnce via Webserver (Microsoft Internet Information Services) or via deploying the required files. The big advantage of the ClickOnce installation is that after you have installed it once, changes can be rolled out automatically to the other clients. Principally deploying the required files is much easier because no webserver has to be configured.

Virus scanner, Firewalls, etc……

Virus scanner, Firewalls and diverse other tools can affect attitude of CoPlanner. Generally folder of installation of CoPlanner should be excluded in a virus scanner. Firewalls have to be configured that they are not able to affect transmission of CoPlanner.

For an accurate action of system please check at regular intervals the eventlog, because CoPlanner writes error messages in the event log as well.

Example of an error message because of a virus scanner:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
