Access Application Installed on Server

[battler.]

Hi there,

I have an application which users would like to install onto their central server and access via their own terminals.

Where to start with building (converting) an application which is able to operate in such a manner.  I also need to be able to keep track of and control the number of instances they have running.

Thanks to all.

Battler.

Hello?

I was thinking I could:

1. Have the applications installed locally on PCs.

2. Communicate with a monitoring application installed on the server using TCP/IP?

What port would I use for communications?  Are there any security issues I'm likely to have to deal with?

Help is appreciated.

Hello, TCP/IP is a good solution, there are several examples in the LabVIEW example finder, just search for tcp/ip. You assign the port yourself, as long as server and client agree on the same port you will have communication, the examples often use 333
