3.1.3 Thin-client
A thin-client is not allowed to access local resources. Local resources are for example the Windows registry, files, directories etc. Baan offers functionality that depends on accessing local resources that can not be supported in a true thin-client solution.
The following functionality is not supported because it depends on local resources:
• BW print
BW print is a software component that makes it possible to print via the locally installed printers.
• File transfer ()
File transfer to the client and from the client to the Baan back-end is not supported

Here are the solution numbers for the windows printer solution:

Corelli: 144349, related to solution 142977 which contains the latest Webtop build (GY0112).

BaanIV: 143475, and you also have to have the latest Webtop build (GY0112).

Best regards,
lvdberg

will be supported. They are already testing it.

The solution that they promised us will work that webtop will try to start a local bwprint, if it's not available than it will be transfered to the client.

Of course registry settings etc. still will be a issue (since not everyone is allowed to work as a local admin).

Regards,
Han

Update: I just tested it and it works.

Solution 144611 has just been published which makes it possible to use Baan IV DEM in the webtop.

Important: You also have to upgrade your Webtop 3.0 to build GY114. See solution 142977

Just curious, but I have to ask: is a specific porting set needed for the thin client to work?

Reason for asking is that while developing the WBBW, it was a pain in the butt to try and find out when the bshell was finished sending screen information to the client. With the bshell from the porting set I had available then, there was no message telling the client when the page was finished, so it was trial-and-error to determine the correct point in time to start generating the HTML page.

Solution 142977 which contained Latest builds of Webtop has been removed from support site. When I asked SSA to send Latest CD they send version GY103.

Don't know if they want this to be free after all.
