How to setup Check Factory on Terminal Server

Revised 08/30/2006 - Please download and install Updated software below!

May 01, 2005 -- Our testing was done on the simplest installation of a Terminal Server system. One PC was configured as the Terminal Server using Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition. All applications and files reside on the one machine. The test machine uses out of the box settings in most cases. Numerous remote session users can access the same version of Check Factory using one "Check Factory on Z:\LFECF000"  printer.

Previous instructions from Trans-Micro regarding Terminal Server were based on the concept of one CF_Userxx printer for each user. This has many drawbacks from a maintenance point of view. The current preferred method is to use one Check Factory printer and "trick" the system to print the job to each users' private folder using a shared USER folder and assigning a common drive letter to point to each users' private folder. This method also has the added benefit of assuring that each user has its' own private WINDOWS folder where vital Check Factory user data is stored.

Please download and print this document: TerminalServerSetup.pdf

Please download the new Update_245.7x.exe  . Terminal Services / Citrix compatible. Uses 32 bit printing services. No longer restricted to < 38 character printer names. Many printer issues resolved.

How to install:

Close Check Factory on all stations and clients. You must be logged in as an administrator.

Save file at the above link to your CFACTORY folder on the server. Run Update_2.45.7x.exe to install the update.

 

Performance Issues:

(Included in TerminalServerSetup.pdf

Check Factory uses a polling method to look for the LFECF000 file generated by the accounting application and the windows print driver. On a PC workstation the polling interval of every 1 millisecond is not an issue. However the interval on a Citrix/Terminal Server may be an issue and can slow down the server considerably. The interval may be adjusted by adding the line:

TimerInterval=xxxx

to the [Startup] section of the CFMASTER.INI file in the CFACTORY folder on the server where xxxx = the polling interval in milliseconds ( 1000ms = 1 second). The recommended value is 2000 - 3000.

The timer interval is displayed in the Check Factory, Settings window next to the Timer Event check box.
