Doug, Karen Tom ... thanks for the feedback.
Tom, , Doug, sounds like R:BASE runs autonomously vis-a-vis a server
OS. Advantage goes to server OS & hardware when client I/O is heavy,
just like anything else. Happy RDP access then becomes the game changer.
Or, maybe, a client-server version of R:BASE? ;)
Karen, Novell was pretty hot back in the heady DOS file server days
thirty years ago ... not going back ... nor should anyone else. Were it
still available, the DOS-based CBIS NetBIOS peer-to-peer network[1]
would probably work well for them. As for today's security, easier to
maintain a tight perimeter on one machine than ten.
Thanks all!

Pour Jean-Marc :
Doug, Karen Tom ... merci pour le feedback.
Tom, , Doug, il semble que R:BASE fonctionne de manière autonome par
rapport à un système d'exploitation serveur. L'avantage va au système
d'exploitation et au matériel du serveur lorsque les E/S du client sont
importantes, comme pour toute autre chose. L'accès heureux par RDP
devient alors le changement de jeu.
Ou, peut-être, une version client-serveur de R:BASE ? ;)
Karen, Novell était très en vogue à l'époque grisante des serveurs de
fichiers DOS il y a trente ans... il ne reviendra pas en arrière... et
personne ne devrait le faire. S'il était encore disponible, le réseau
CBIS NetBIOS peer-to-peer basé sur DOS [1] fonctionnerait probablement
bien pour eux. Quant à la sécurité d'aujourd'hui, il est plus facile de
maintenir un périmètre étanche sur une machine que sur dix.
Merci à tous !

I have RBase installed on the server of all my applications (except
one -- who is on some weird Novel network and we could never get it to
work on it). Most of my clients I remote in directly to the server
and run RBase on the server. This enables you to do things like clear
ghost connections and reboot the server if needed. And yeah, it's
lightning fast (which is an issue if you're programming and you forget
that it probably won't run as fast on the workstations). But for
other clients I remote into a workstation, RBase is installed on the
server but we never activate it because no one, including me, runs
RBase on the server itself. But yeah, the company has to have trust
in you to give you unfettered access to the server. As for
security... I suppose if someone knows your username/password and
what remote software you use, that's marginally worse than someone
getting into a workstation.

Bruce - R:Base does not need to be "running" on the server O/S.
It was some time ago, but I think I ran the install on the server O/S
as a "server" install, so the catch is that upgrades have to be run on
the server O/S, they won't run on a workstation.
To set up R:Base on a workstation, navigate to
[MappedDrive]\RBTI\RBGX5E\RBGX5E.EXE and "Send To" Desktop to create
the shortcut; adjust properties accordingly. I found it's much easier
and saves future headaches to accept the R:Base default install paths.
Conversely, R:Base can run on the server if an extra client seat is
needed. I'm thinking of doing that for a client. They have a
workstation that I access via Remote Desktop but find that there are
often conflicts with others in the office who need to use that
computer - obviously they have priority. The server would be an ideal
seat for me - no conflict with other users and it is probably faster
than greased lightening because the data is "right there" - no network
issues to contend with.
Has anyone done this? Any considerations (server security, I know)?
Any gotchas?
Thanks,
Doug

Question:
Without taking into account the number of users, does a server install
of RBGX5E require installation on a server operating system e.g.
Microsoft Windows Server 2019, or will it run usefully on a Windows 10
workstation?
I'm thinking here of my small-shop environment, where I'd have at most
two workstation installs testing multi-user configuration.
Wondering if R:BASE concurrency features require server-OS assist.
Thanks very much, yours:
