Martin and others,
My company has MapInfo running in a Citrix WinFrame environment. We
developed the GIS portion of an executive information system for the Center
for Public Works at Fort Belvoir, VA. We used a Visual Basic front end with
integrated mapping. We also included an option for interactive MapInfo
which launches plain MapInfo.
The implementation works quite well. People dial in to the server and use
the WinFrame environment to run the application remotely. The application
queries an Oracle database and returns map results of the query. There have
been performance issues in terms of the connection speed but really no
problems with the interaction of MapInfo and the WinFrame environment.
We also have the server set up so that it restricts the number of users in
order to keep in line with MapInfo's licensing requirements.
The application was initially developed using MapInfo 4.0. Subsequent
upgrades to MapInfo have caused some minor glitches. In the newer versions
of MapInfo, integrated mapping is different. In some cases the application
times out because MapInfo takes longer to perform certain actions. The
majority of our current development with other clients does not use
integrated mapping for this reason. We now prefer a MapX solution. (fewer
problems, etc.) But we still support the existing application with people
and upgrades.
If anyone is interested in further discussion or a demonstration, drop me a
line. Demonstrations might be a problem since some of the information is
classified.
