A common question:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
I have a computer at both my workbench, where I program my engines, and one at my layout
|
|
location. They are not portable, but all the PC's at my house are networked together
|
|
(Windows XP clients and a Windows 2000 Server). I would like to store the roster and all
|
|
else that is needed on the Windows 2000 server and be able to run copies of DecoderPro on
|
|
at lease two of the Windows XP PC's. Is that possible?
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
Yes!
|
|
<p>Configure the Windows machines so there's a shared directory, and then you can set the
|
|
JMRI "advanced preferences" to put the roster information inside that.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Set up a shared directory.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Select which roster you want to start with (since there might be separate ones on
|
|
different machines already). On that machine, find the "roster.xml" file and "roster"
|
|
directory in the preferences directory.
|
|
<p>For more information, please see the DecoderPro pages on the <a href=
|
|
"RosterFile.shtml">roster files</a> and <a href="Files.shtml#location">file
|
|
locations</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Copy, _do not move_, the roster.xml file and roster folder to the shared folder. You
|
|
must copy the _entire_ contents of the roster directory!</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>On each machine that is to use the shared roster, start DecoderPro, select Preferences
|
|
from the Edit menu, and click "Show Advanced Preferences". The window will get bigger.
|
|
Press "Set" under "Roster:" and follow directions.</li>
|
|
</ol>
