When copying a configuration from one machine to a new machine, the following needs to happen.
Within the file PFDashBoardEXE.exe.config the following keys need to be updated.
| <add key="CheckProgram1Location" value="C:\pdata\dashboard\ /> | Depending on the location it is installed in, this may need to change. |
The following ONLY needs to be done if you are going to have this machine have a new IP address the network, OR you want to change the dashboard screen it is displaying.
Within the SQL Server, there is a table called: tblDashboard_ClientTerminals
When a machine with a new IP address that has never communicated with the system before, it will create an entry in this table. By default the "ViewSet" selected is NULL (or nothing) The raw data in the table will look like this.
When the program PFDashBoardEXE.exe runs, it will display this set by default. You have one of 2 options to correct this.
- Change the data that was identified above to be the appropriate viewset.
- Change the file PFDashBoardEXE.exe.config to manually point to the location of this viewset.
- To hard code the viewset modify the config file as such.
| <add key="DashboardURL" value="http://MyServerURL/Reports/RTA/rta.aspx" /> | At the end of the URL, you can manually change the viewset by adding the following syntax. ?viewset=7 So the resulting key will now read: <add key="DashboardURL" value="http://MyServerURL/Reports/RTA/rta.aspx?viewset=7" /> |
