Re: FE/BE and Citrix

OK guys I am in need of some assistance here. I have a standard FE/BE
database set up here. ABout 10-20 users have the FE installed on
tehir machines all linked to the common BE on the server. All
standard stuff. The network people are setting up some new
restrictions on the LAN and as a result they want to do the
following. I am not sure what the data risks are if any and how to
ensure that what they plan to do is 'safe'. They want to puit the FE
and BE on the server. Then use Citrix for each user to run the common
FE. Can y'all shed some light on this and give me any feedback as to
what concerns you might have if you were presented with this as the
current plan of attack?


Thanks,

Looks like a bad idea, especially the 'use Citrix for each user to run the common FE' part.
Using Citrix is possible, but also with Citrix each user should have his/hers own FE.

The concern is corruption of course, but also if you are using temptables in the FE you will get *very* concerned....

So you will need about 10-20 FE's on that Citrix server (e.g. each in the user homedir).
Most networking guys don't like that. You will need to convince them.
A Google search on the topic will give you lots of information.
