Hey everybody, this question is directed at some of our wonderware gurus on the forum. So we have a flatscreen tv in our engineering offices hooked up to a thin client, running an application that displays the status of stuff on our network, PLCs, IO servers, that kind of stuff. So I was approached and was asked to see what kind of information that I could display in regards to our teminal servers. I thought of kind of a round a bout way that involves setting a tag on startup of an app, then writing that tag to a value in the PLC, then reading that value in our application, but that has so many moving parts and is really cumbersome. After digging through the help manu trying to find anything to do with terminal servers, I found the function TseQueryRunningOnConsole(). The description I am given is "The TseQueryRunningOnConsole() function can be run from a script to indicate whether the View application is running on a Terminal Services console." I do think that this is what I am looking for.
I suppose that I have two questions.
1. Does this do what I think it does? I think that it tells me whether WindowViewer is running on the Terminal Server, Is that true? Am I misguided with some of the terminology? (I will confess I am a bit green on the infrastructure side of InTouch)
2. What goes into the parenthesis? On the example that they have given, they just leave them blank with nothing in them ( I.E., "IntTag=TseQueryRunningOnConsole() ;"), but if that is correct, then I suppose I know my answer to the first question. Do I put the IP address of the terminal server i am trying to get information on? Its name in our domain? I just am really not too sure.
If this is what I am looking for, then my followup question would be "Is there anyway to know if each individual node is running WindowViewer?". That would be important information to have I feel.
Any help or direction is always appreciated it.
Thank you,
-Conor
