I'm deploying a terminal server to support multiple users concurrently working on a single EA model.
My problem arises when configuring the Version Control Options for each user.
For example, assume the Unique ID for the repository is "model_repo".
If I setup the Version Control Configuration for user "John", the paths.txt file in the EA directory contains this:
%PATH%;type=Version Control;id=model_repo;path=C:\Profiles\John\svn\model_repo;
When configuring a subsequent user "Alice", the above entry in the paths.txt file is
replaced by this:
%PATH%;type=Version Control;id=model_repo;path=C:\Profiles\Alice\svn\model_repo;
So it appears that EA only supports one configuration of a repository per machine - which creates problems when trying to give multiple users their own working copies on the terminal server.
The planned workaround is to share the profile directory and map it to a drive (on the same machine):
i.e. Share C:\Profiles
then
User John maps C:\Profiles\John to H:\
User Alice maps C:\Profiles\Alice to H:\
Then setup the local working copy for the "model_repo" repository to H:\svn\model_repo\
Therefore giving each user an effective path of:
C:\Profiles\User\svn\model_repo\
Anyone have a more elegant solution to this problem?
Cheers,
Mike
