Re: [U2] Can I automate Wintegrate BridgeCopy?
Thanks for your reply. We're on unix, and I'd considered doing an sftp copy. However, most of the files I wanted to refresh are indexed on both live and test. --bev At 4/12/2012 04:49 PM, Richard A.

Thanks, Jake. We're running Unidata on unix, and I'd considered an sftp transfer, but since the majority of the files are indexed, I didn't think that would work out for me.

[U2] wintegrate printers question
Hi all! I ran into a situation with Wintegrate (version 5.1) today. I added a Generic/Text printer to my system (WinXP) so I could capture the output of some slave printing. The problem was that Wintegrate only seems to see the printers that had been defined on the PC when I installed Wintegrate and none of the printers that have been created since then. (I've got the same problem with Viaduct, so perhaps the problem is my PC.) It did recognize the Generic printer once I made that my default printer. However, I'd really not have to make that switch every time I want to test something. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Re: [U2] How do you determine terminal emulator?
Thanks for your input, Tony. I almost always find your responses to the list to be thought-provoking. I think for this project (converting greenbar reports to screen or exports) I'm going to go with the hard way approach. The easy way is interesting, but much more complex to set up than the hard way. I'm not even certain that Viaduct supports login scripting. It probably does, but I've not looked at it for much beyond data import/export scripting. If I understand how the easy way would work, the user would ask for a new connection/login from the emulator. In response, the emulator runs a script, prompting for userid, password, then passing it to the server. Once the user is logged in, the emulator's script would be able to call it's own specific programX which would store emulator type for that session. U2 would record the emulator type and then execute a logto into the regular MAIN account, which would then execute it's own LOGIN script. The emulator type would have to be stored under a unique id specific to that user/port id and/or process id to allow for multiple logins. Do people using login scripts with their emulators add auditing for changes of the scripts on each PC to their internal security scans? It would seem to be an ideal place for an unscrupulous someone to insert a password capture routine. No, a better, more secure approach would be to put the login script on the network, and have the emulator run the centralized (and audited) script. How you lockdown the emulator settings to only use the centralized script is another exercise.

Re: [U2] How do you determine terminal emulator?
Thanks for your input Bill. Not quite the approach that I was thinking of, but it is certainly food for thought.
