 Introducing PTWin32 |
When PTWin32 is
installed on a network it has to have some way to manage what concurrent users
are doing. Keep in mind that a networked version of PTWin32 allows many users to
change many records simultaneously. In order to do this
we need one central location where users report their activities. This way all
users can be monitored so that their actions don’t bump into one another. This
is done through the use of a file called PDOXUSRS.NET. This file constantly
changes as it records which records are being updated by which users at any
given moment. The only way this
file can be maintained properly is if every user reports their presence. This
assumes that every user knows where the PDOXUSRS.NET file is located. Your particular
workstation’s idea of where this file is located can be found under NET DIR in
the BDE Configuration program that is
found in your PTWin32 program group. Every PTWin32 user on a network has their
own BDE Configuration file. Each
configuration file must list the common location for the NET file. It doesn’t matter
where the NET file is located, as long as every user on the network has access
to the location and each of their BDE Configuration files show the same NET DIR location.
