Depends on How big the application directory is. Also depends on if that
is your problem or not (simple file locking within the dir) It may be
more than that. But if it is just a matter of having a unique dir for
each user that launches it here is what I have done (the problem with
this is that if the app saves user specific stuff in the dir you need to
make it go by username which is really easier)
Anyway for the pool:
One way is to create several copies of this on a directory structure in
a central location. (on the server or on a file server lets say)
Number then like Dir1Dir2 Dir3 etc.
Create a text file that looks like so
DIR1=FREE
DIR2=FREE
DIR3=FREE
Now as the user launches the application they should really launch a
scrip t this script will read the text file (a little for next etc)
looking for the first FREE entry. It then replaces FREE with USED so the
next user gets the next dir, maps to that dir, and executes the
application.
On logout you then have a logout script that takes the dir name looks
for it in the txt file and replaces USED with FREE so that it is now
returned to the pool.
I have done this with generic workstation files for like hospital
applications and it works fine. If it works for your app it really
depends on how the is determining it should not run again and where it
saves its info.

Subject: [THIN] Application pool
Hi all,
Maybe one of you has a bright idea on this one. I need to publish an old
16
bit application on a Metaframe XPe 1 SP2 FR 2 server Windows 2000 SP3
server. Works oke but just for one user. A second user is unable to
launch
the application. So a very simple option is to copy this applications
directory and publish this for the second user and so on. Works ok, but
is
it possible to publish just one icon/application and create an
application
pool for it? Same concept as installing it on multiple servers and limit
to
one instance per server, but that's not an option of course.
TIA and cheers,
Andre
