Connecting an Open Client Session to an Alternate Configuration

Windows and UNIX

To use the PROIV Dashboard to navigate to a required configuration or profile, open the Client Connector > Operations tab. Available services will be listed. Use the associated URL to connect to the Open Client using an alternate configurations. An example screen is shown below:

 

Connecting the PROIV Client to an Alternate Configuration

Windows

The -configFile option can be used on PROIV 'V' + two digit current version (as found from &$@~PROPATH) System Services Path to Executable to specify a default configuration file.  In a fresh install the windows service is configure as below:

 

"&$@~PROPATH\..\prosrv.exe" -scm  "-configFile:&$@~PROPATH\..\config\base-default.properties"

 

Note that the full path to the configuration file is required. The service definition may be edited using the following registry key (a registry backup should be performed beforehand):

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PROIV 'V' + two digit current version (as found from &$@~PROPATH) Client VM\ImagePath

 

In cases where the Virtual Machine is started by directly invoking prosrv.exe the environment variable VM_CONFIG_PATH is used to select a required properties file.

 

An alternative configuration name can be specified in the session properties username field. Only the file name without the .properties extension, is required. It must reference a deployed configuration. This deployed configuration will have a properties file in the config folder of the VirtualMachine folder. This is found in the PROIV Home path of the server.  Examples of how to specify the config test-default are shown below:

 

 

 

UNIX

 

To target different configurations in UNIX users are either required to create different separate start up scripts for each configuration or to use the -c option when running runproiv on the exec line.

 

The PROIV_VM_CFG environment variable should be set in the appropriate start-up script. An example of how this is set in the default runproiv script is shown below:

 

PROIV_VM_CFG=&$@~PROPATH/../config/base-default.properties

 

An example of running runproiv with the -c options is shown below:

 

./runproiv -c &$@~PROPATH/../config/base-default.properties

 

Either approach can be used to connect the Windows client by specifying these commands in the Command to run PROIV Virtual Machine field
