Axiant Thin Client under Nt Server: Environment Variables?

[shulbert@littlejohnfrazer.com]

glenn,
this is a known problem with axiant documentation.
forget what it says in the help, put your command file in the same directory as the powerhouse executable. eg:

C:\Program Files\Cognos\PowerHouse 8.21D7

this should have the following as its last line:

%1 %2

bear in mind that this only works if you run your application. if you execute a qkgo file or a screen on its own in the ide it won't be.
also, if you're planning on using AT to stream jobs your users will need administrator privilege on the server (boo! hiss!).
regards,
stephen.

Subject:	Axiant Thin Client under Nt Server: Environment Variables?

How do you set environment variables for a Thin Client deployment. My
Powerhouse (NT2000 Server) is not my domain controller.

I would prefer to set variables for screens to locate "submit" commands (bat
files).

A local client Build & Run responds to an environment variable previously
set at the workstation.

Using a remote setver Build and Run, the client form appears to get it's
environment variables from the Netd session. How do I insert variables at
that "session"?

Is it the Remote Tab under Run Profiles {under Connection}
The help reads as

"In Windows NT (thin client), if PowerHouse is installed in the default
location, the command file can be in any directory. If PowerHouse is
installed in a non-default location, the command file must be in the NPPATH
directory which is set to the cognos.ini file unless the command file exists
in a directory specified by the HOME environment variable."

Does this mean the WINNT folder?

Has anywone done this.

I would appreciate even a No response, as I am unsure wether anyone actually
get's my messages.

Sincerely,
Glenn Baxter
