JNLP and launching a Fat Client application (.exe)

Hi,
Is JNLP the correct technology to use if I want to launch a Fat Client application (Mozilla Firefox) from a portlet.
I realise I am jumping outside the whole portal and web environment by doing this but I want to make sure I am on the right track.
Are there any examples of this type of scenario that I could use and look at ? The examples I have seen thus far are all related to java based applications.
If someone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
Thanks,
Portal_Man.

OK, I think I now know how to trick to not look for that dependency.
Please ignore the question.

How to Install VPN and how to connect client Application server

Hi All,
Could any one tell me. How to connect Client's Application server and How to Install VPN. Thanks in advance.......
Thanks & regards
Vardhan

where r u working?
ask your help desk to give the URL link to down load vpn
after downloading install it, its just like a wizard
you need to give your userid and password , and secureid number
secureid is a small device which displays a number(say a 6 digit number ) this number is keeps on changing for every one minitue.
you need to enter the number which is displaing while you are trying to connect to vpn.
in the middle of connecting to vpn if your secureid number changed , you need to login once again by the same procedure

Outlook 2013 on 1012 RDS and Outlook 2010 FAT client font issue

Our terminal server was changed from a 2008 RDP box with Office 2003 to a 2012 RDS box with office 2013 on it. Now if a user changes a font - or any view setting - on the 2013 copy on the terminal box, their desktop in the office which runs Outlook 2010
has the 2013 settings. Why and how - if possible - do I make that stop?
Thanks!

My application exe does not allow any other exe to be opened above it.

Hello All.
I want to ask that when my application exe runs, it does not allow any other program or any other exe to be opened above it. Instead other exe opens but behind that and my exe always remains at the top. Is there any way so that i launch any exe,and it opens above my application exe.

JMS architecture question for fat client/server.

Hi. Is JMS suitable for fat client-server architecture where a certain number of fat client applications (like a few hundreds) open connections directly to the JMS provider? Is it going to have scalability problem when the number of connections grow?

Depending on your JMS provider, this may be a very suitable architecture. The Sun MQ JMS Cluster was architected exactly for this problem. If the number of connections onto a single broker becomes too much of a burden for this broker, it can be put into an MQ cluster and share the number of connections. Of course, the number of connections a broker can handle will be totally dependent on the resources available to it. OS, CPU, memory, other applications running on the same machine, etc....

Ways to Configure Which UNIX Server a PC Client Application Communicates With

We have several different MS VC++ "fat client" applications that we want to run
on the same NT 4.0 PC.
Each application uses the Tuxedo 7.1 client to communicate with Tuxedo services
located on a UNIX server.
Each application needs to communicate with a different UNIX server (e.g., application
A1 needs Tuxedo
service T1 located on UNIX server S1, application A2 needs Tuxedo service T2 located
on UNIX server
S2). We'd like to load the Tuxedo 7.1 client software in such a way that each
individual application
controls which server it uses. One way to do that is through registry entries
specific to each application.
We are looking for some documentation or tips on other/better ways to configure
which server the PC
application communicates with. We are also looking for some documentation or
tips on how to best
configure an application that needs to subscribe to services from several different
servers (e.g.,
application A needs Tuxedo service T1 on server S1 and Tuxedo service T2 on server
S2). Thanks.

Matt,
This sounds quite unusual, and I am not sure why you want to do things this way.
Generally, I would expect that the services would be distributed on the server side over
different boxes as you describe, but the location would be transparent to a client app.
which would tpinit once, and Tuxedo would route the requests appropriately. Maybe that's
not how you want to do things because the apps are all logically independent? I'm not
sure about that though, since you describe needing services on different servers in
individual clients... Can you do the integration at the back end?
To do what you describe, however, you need to control the value of the WSNADDR
environment variable before you call tpinit() - it is the network address in this
variable that tells the client libraries which server to connect to. Simply set the
value (from a command line parameter, the registry, an ini file or wherever) with the
tuxputenv() API before you call tpinit()
In Tuxedo 7.1 and higher, it is also possible to connect to multiple different servers
simultaneousy by calling tpinit multiple times and having multiple contexts in the
client.
I hope that helps.
Regards,
Peter.

Pros and Cons between BEx client and Web access

Dear all,
I am quite new to BI 7.0 and have some question about frontend tools.
I am looking for a comparison material describing pros and cons of BEx client application and Web access in BI 7.0.
There are many tools in BEx suite and I am a bit confused about what fuctionality each tool has or what to consider to choose the right tool.
Thanks a lot in advance and appreciate any input.
Regards,
Kazuya

Hello,
Shortly speaking there are 4 tools and you need at least 2 of them:
1. Query Designer: you need it always as this is a tool for defining queries
2. Web Application Designer: you need it if you want create web reports
3. Report Designer: only if you want create formatted reports in web
4. BEx Analyzer: if you want to run queries in Excel (Analyzer is an add-in)

Best/Easiest Practice for Distribution of Webhelp files for Fat(ish) Client Application

So another in my long line of questions in trying to change the implementation of the help systems at my new employer.
So, the pressure is to convince the existing guard to toss out the old method and go with a new method... One of the issues has come up for CSH Webhelp (via RH10)...
Apparently, in the old method (where every help topic was it's own CHM - no, I'm not kidding). They kept it that way so that any time a help file was updated, they could just send out that one chm to update that one topic.
Now they are worried that if we switch to webhelp using topics in one single big project that we can't just send out a single updated file any more...
So I'm trying to get ammunition as to how updates to the help can be distributed without it being a big hassle...
We do have small updates that go out about every week, and they are afraid that going to the webhelp (1 project with lots of topics) method will require more time and effort for the techs because they will have to complete the update of a huge help system every time.
One solution we have suggested is that we only update help files on major releases and add any changes to help procedures in the Release Notes or in a separate PDF and also include a note that the help files "will be updated to reflect this change in the XX/2015 XYZ Release).
Does ANYONE have any other ideas of how distribution could be done efficiently so that we don't have to continue this "project per topic" fiasco?
HELP!!! PLEASE!!!!

Amebr - you hit the nail on the head... i want to apologize to everyone for all this mass hysteria...but this has been a freaking rollercoaster... one day they are happy with the plan, the next day they decided they want to complicate it more... So now my job is to find out how viable and how tricky and perhaps how dangerous it will be to send out JUST the files that have been changed. Especially for CSH!
Anyone have any experience with this or have any advice? Peter? I suspect you might know how this might work... are they any pitfalls to watch out for.. I just have this fear of sending out a few files from an entire project... Altho, it appears when I publish, ONLY the files that have been edited in some way show a new date.. that includes non-topic files - so i'm assuming sending all those will keep the TOC, Index, and Search features working properly... as well as incoming and outgoing links from an edited topic?
Another question would be how to handle new images in a project... as the image folder tends to be the largest, i don't want to have to send the entire image folder... Thoughts...???? Advice? Jeff? Peter? Amebr? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller....?
THANKS!Best/Easiest Practice for Distribution of Webhelp files for Fat(ish) Client Application
OH... and Jeff... my apologies for the misnomer of using the term "Fat-ish" client in reference to this... I totally misspoke and should have said Mobile App... but in my mind, any time you have to download something to use it, it's a fat client... sorry! :-/

What is thin client and Fat Client

Hi Experts,
I would like to know about Fat Client and Thin client in detailed words.
Thanks and Regards.
Chilla..

Hi Chilla,
     The thin clients are clients that reduce the load on servers.
Let me explain hw thin clients will get works.
     Thin clients are stores,all required library files in you local system,so that the corresponding applications which are using will be used the library files in your local system and it get execute and where as in the case of Fat clients the library files are not stored in your local system.
   Please let me know if you have any doubts regarding this.
Thanks and Regards,
Chandu.

What is thin and fat client

Hi,
I would like to know
what is thin and fat client.
what is the difference between thin and fat client.
How to copy config only client. (No data copy)
Appreciate for your reply... I will reward the points.
Thanks
Atul-

Hi Atul,
Thin Clients
A thin client is designed to be especially small so that the bulk of the data processing occurs on the server. Although the term thin client often refers to software, it is increasingly used for the computers, such as network computers and Net PCs, that are designed to serve as the clients for client/server architectures. A thin client is a network computer without a hard disk drive. They act as a simple terminal to the server and require constant communication with the server as well.
Thick Clients
In contrast, a thick client (also called a fat client) is one that will perform the bulk of the processing in client/server applications. With thick clients, there is no need for continuous server communications as it is mainly communicating archival storage information to the server. As in the case of a thin client, the term is often used to refer to software, but again is also used to describe the networked computer itself. If your applications require multimedia components or that are bandwidth intensive, you'll also want to consider going with thick clients. One of the biggest advantages of thick clients rests in the nature of some operating systems and software being unable to run on thin clients. Thick clients can handle these as it has its own resources.
Thick vs. Thin - A Quick Comparison
Thin Clients
- Easy to deploy as they require no extra or specialized software installation
- Needs to validate with the server after data capture
- If the server goes down, data collection is halted as the client needs constant communication with the server
- Cannot be interfaced with other equipment (in plants or factory settings for example)
- Clients run only and exactly as specified by the server
- More downtime
-Portability in that all applications are on the server so any workstation can access
- Opportunity to use older, outdated PCs as clients
- Reduced security threat
Thick Clients
- More expensive to deploy and more work for IT to deploy
- Data verified by client not server (immediate validation)
- Robust technology provides better uptime
- Only needs intermittent communication with server
- More expensive to deploy and more work for IT to deploy
- Require more resources but less servers
- Can store local files and applications
- Reduced server demands
- Increased security issues
To copy only config client , there are few more profiles that you can choose in scc8
SAP_EXBC - SAP_UCSV with cross-client customizing
SAP_EXPA - SAP_ALL with cross-client customizing
SAP_EXPC - SAP_CUSV with cross-client customizing
if it helful reward points are appreciated

Fat Client and Thin Client

Hello, everyone
I am a newbie with websphere 5. I am wondering if anyone know fat clients(Swing GUI) work with websphere. I know thin clients(web-based interface) work with websphere. My scenario is like this and this is all experimental purposes:
I want to program a Swing GUI interface as the client that accesses the enterprise javabeans that is installed on websphere. So the Swing GUI is the client and Websphere is the server, which makes it a 2-tier Application. My question is basically, does websphere only work with web-based application or does it work with both desktop application clients and web-based application clients also?
Any Ideas?

Thanks, that's the kinda of straight answer I am looking for. I have been researching for this answer to this question for a long time and even posted several similar questions on Java forum, but no one seemed to have a straight answer. What I was thinking of programming is:
client/server program using websphere.
Client:
GUI interface using Swing that is just like a regular desktop application and not a web browser (I notice the most common application using websphere are web based applications like portals).
Server:
Using Websphere to accept connection when requested by the client and act as a bean container, which holds EJBs. The EJBs will connect to the database (mssql server) to pull data from.
Does this sound OK and can this be done using Websphere? I am using Websphere 5.
Thank you, I am just a newbie in j2ee, just trying to get started in this area of programming.

Problems have solved.
The reason was that the jar file which contains two Signature file(Abcjar.sf and Sun_micr.sf),the Abcjar.sf is creates by jarsiger , and another Sun_micr.sf is created by JBuilder 7.
when i remove Sun_micr.sf ,it is running finely.
I am confusing that I have setted new JDK1.4.1_01 in JBuilder 7 , why dose Sun_micr.sf contain JDK1.3.0:
This is part of Sun_micr.sf :
Signature-Version: 1.0
SHA1-Digest-Manifest: s4hapqcSzQWgILxttXiEIqQIbJQ=

Problems Logging in Client Application after Download and Setup

I'm having trouble running the desktop Client x64 bit Client application for the Primavera (P6) Version 7 Project Management program. Throughout the entire download and configuration process, I have written down all user names and passwords needed.
Once installed, I attempted to log in to the software with both "admin" and "system" usernames (along with my password configured during my registration with the E-Delivery Oracle software. The default database provided is "ORAPMDB".
After attempting there, I went through the user guides that came with the zip file(s) and ran through the "Getting Started Guide" for Oracle Database Express Edition (Oracle Database XE), which included signing in as the database administrator and setting up a sample user profile (username "hr", password "hr") and creating my first application. I have no idea what the significance of having an "application" created has on logging in to Primavera, but the "Stand Alone V7.0.0.0.3." PDF guide suggested I run through that process and obtain a database username and password before launching the Project Management Module. Of course, none of the usernames or passwords used in the Oracle Database XE program work with P6.
Has anyone run in to this similar issue before? Any help would be much appreciated.
Drew

It sounds as if you ran a stand-alone P6v7 installation... Did you try username = "admin" password = "admin" when logging into the P6 client?
What is the exact error message you receive? Invalid login or unable to connect to the database?
