Yes, I know very well that it can take time to get things to happen.
OK, now you have two files that need modifications in the L:\AVEVA\PDMS11.5.SP1 folder, pdms.bat and evars.bat
I suggest you do not edit the files with Notepad, as it many times will mess up the files completely. If you have some other text editor, like Textpad, Ultraedit, pfe32 etc, use them instead.
In pdms.bat, change the following row:
SET pdms_installed_dir=C:\CADCENTRE\Pdms11.5.SP1\
change it to:
SET pdms_installed_dir=L:\CADCENTRE\Pdms11.5.SP1
In evars.bat, do the following changes:
set pdmswk=%1\pdmswk
change it to:
set pdmswk=%TEMP%
(I guess that you do not want all users to write temporary PDMS files to the network server)
set pdmsuser=%1\pdmsuser
change it to a local folder where you want pdms to store macro files etc.
It could be something like:
set pdmsuser=C:\pdms\pdms11.5
Remeber to also create the local folder.
set CADC_PLOT_DIR=%PLOTCADC%
change it to:
set CADC_PLOT_DIR=%1\plot
After these changes have been done, create a shortcut pointing to pdms.bat on your L-drive, and set the Start In folder set to the same folder as the PDMSUSER variable(in the above example C:\pdms\pdms11.5)
You should now be able to start PDMS from the network by starting it from the shortcut.
------
To make PDMS redirect to a local installation if it exists, add the following rows after the :exeok label in the evars.bat file:
REM *** Redirect to local installation (if it exists) ***
IF EXIST C:\AVEVA\PDMS11.5.SP1\mon.exe SET PDMSEXE=C:\AVEVA\PDMS11.5.SP1
This will make PDMS use executables from the local installation, but the rest will be run from network(PMLLIB,PDMSUI etc).
