I have a huge project using remote desktop session with PcVue.
Depending of the login/password (active directory) of the end user, they have access of a small (or big)part of the project.

When you open a Remote desktop session, you load all the tags used in the project. It takes time.

My question is :
Is it possible to load only a part of tags(external tags) when you open a Remote desktop session in order to open PcVue faster?

Ciao!

If I understand well your question, you need to limit the amount of tag seen by some particular AD users when they launch his PcVue RDS session. If yes, I think the only solution is to play with STATION.DAT & the link to launch PcVue in each session on Windows side.

Infact, in the User configuration (Windows server side) you should put the link to launch PcVue automatically when the remote session starts. If you set -wts projectname,clientlistname PcVue will start as the first available station regardless the Windows Username.

Instead, if you put -wts projectname,clientstationname you will create an hard link between the Windows User that execute the access and the PcVue Client to launch.

So at that point the game should be easy (like non-RDS Client/Server project): you can put these client stations into different Client Lists (for example FULLCLIENTLIST, LCLIENT_PLANT_A, LCLIENT_PLANT_B etc.) to reduce the amount of tags seen by each station and then modify VAREXP.DAT according with your distribution.

Hope it help! :cheer:

Hi Manu,

I think what has been described by Filippo is good. But, IMHO, the end is not good: Playing with the varexp.

I think what you should do is only changing the the command line by starting as Client_PLANT_A, Client_PLANT_B, etc...
Each client loading only the part of the project requested for the current user.

Sorry I clicked Submit too fast!!

Another way is to play with the C1 folder.
C1 folder is used to import a set of PcVue objects (variables, events, etc...). The list is configured in the file C1import.dat
What you could do is changing the import.dat file according the user.

Hi Nico,

I insert in queue of this old thread to kindly ask you if you can provide me the format for the file C1import.dat.

I'm exploring the opportunity to use C1 folder for an Italian customer with similar requirements but I did not found an example of C1import.dat.

Thankyou!

Hi Filippo

I think it is not import.dat file but include.dat file.
You just insert one line per file.
