Thank you for your quick reply, Russ. But that's what I effectively do via the 'control Panel' without creating multiple apimgr's Solution 1782 is a work around and not a good solution. This way we end up with numerous apimgr.exe running because they don't quit when the Remote Desktop is closed! Cheers, Frits. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Boulay, Russ Sent: Tuesday, 4 September 2012 7:48 a.m. To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] aim*API issues. From Solution 1782 on GCS website Problem Description Can not run the apitst utility when remotely logged into a P90. Is there a way around this? Fix/Resolution To run apitst remotely: 1. From the Remote Display Manager, open a command prompt. 2. Change to shell (d: ? sh) 3. Change to the /opt/aim/bin directory. 4. Start another instance of the apimgr process, type: startp /b apimgr 5. You can use apitst from the Remote Display Manager. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Schouten, Frits JF Sent: Monday, September 03, 2012 3:21 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] aim*API issues. Dear list, Is it worth putting a CAR in for the fact the aim* applications don't work from a Remote Desktop connection? Running apitst or apispy both come back with the following message: D:\opt\aim\bin>apispy SimSci AIM*API Test Program AIM*API is not running! Please restart application after AIM*API is started! But it is running and when I run the same 'test' programs from the console, it's fine. So, I went to 'Control Panel' and restarted AIM*API from the Remote Desktop Connection and all started to work just fine. I can imagine that all programs using AIM*API are temporary 'disconnected' when a restart is done. This can't be right. Why can't it be like a normal operating system where once a service is started, it's available to any application from any terminal? The above issue is hindering the development of user applications using Remote Desktop Connection.
