Hi.

I have my app working fine with edb in local mode. I have an engine component and a
session component working in local mode. I want now to try to work in server mode but if i
change the enginetype property of the engine component to etServer and the SessionType
property of the session component to stRemote it show me the error "Cannot connect a
remote session with the server engine" when i open the session component. Then i would
know what are the changes to made to my application to work in server/client mode. I
imagine too that i must run before all "elevate db server" in the client.

If i'm working with tedbTable component are faster remote access or not?

Thank you.

Francisco,

The EngineType property must be set to etClient for your application. Only set it to
etServer when you create your own customized server.

server/client mode.

Just to "work", really not much. Start and configure the server, and change your session
settings (stRemote, RemoteAdress, etc.).

Hard to say...it depends. If you don't have much concurrent users, and do operations like
while-not-eof-next or table.lookup() very often, then you may end up with a worse
performance than with a local session. Just try it out, since the only thing you have to
alter in your application is the session component, it will be no harm to try.

Hi again.

Thank you for your response. I have another question. Can i connect without problems one
session in local mode and another in remote mode at the same time?

To connect a remote session by dsl what must i do? open the port 12010 of the router to
the local pc ip?

Thank you again.

Francisco,

Yes, that works.

On the pc running your application this won't be necessary.
On the pc running the server you will have to forward the port 12010 to the pc adress.

Heiko,

I have opened port number 12010 of my router and i install my application in a remote
client. I run edbsrvr.exe and i go to "Edit Server Options"-"Configuration"-"File folder"
to put the folder \\111.111.111.111\2\33333\
where "1111.111.111.111" is the public ip address "2" is the shared drive and "33333" is
the folder of the file but it show me the message "You must enter a valid configuration
file folder"

Thank you

Francisco,

>>folder \\111.111.111.111\2\33333\

I don't think an IP adress will work there. Try it with the computer name, like this way :
\\pcname\sharedfolder

If you don't want to mix local and remote sessions, you can also use a local path there,
e.g. "D:\folder"

It works in a local net but when you have a remote pc that must connect with the server
across internet?

Francisco,

you have to tell the server where it can find the configuration file. The server and the
file (plus the database folder) are located on the same machine - so of course you can use
local paths.

If you connect to the server directly from the LAN, or via Internet & Router, doesn't
matter - you are "talking" with the server, not with the database files. As long as the
server knows where to find the files, it doesn't matter from where you are accessing it.

Heiko,

sorry but i don't understand it. I have a server in a place and i have a remote client in
another place. Must i run edbsrvr.exe in this pc? What must i configure in this pc and in
the server?

Thank you

Francisco,

On the server machine you have the EDB configuration file and your database folder. Run
edbsrvr.exe on this machine, and configure it - the config path is the folder, where
edbsrvr.exe can find the configuration file. No IP adress needed here.

On the client machine you have your application - with a session set to stRemote, and
RemoteAdress set to the IP adress of the server machine.

Sorry, my english sucks...
