I'm setting up multiple machines to run Softimage 2013 SP1. I've come to a question which I'm unsure how to address.
I set my workgroup to a central location all systems point to a single workgroup. It dawned on me though that I still had a user profile which was now being replicated on multiple machines. That user profile set by set XSI_USERHOME=%XSI_USERROOT%\Autodesk\Softimage_2013_SP1 which is the install location. The thought occurred to me that I could also move the user profile to a central location and have all machines point to it. I realize that workgroups and user profiles are similar, but since I can't find a parameter in the setenv.bat that points to workgroups I have to assume that the workgroup is defined in the user profile. So the question is this. Is there any danger to pointing to a single user profile from multiple machines? Will simultaneously instances of Soft on different machines club settings in the centralized profile? I realize the point of Workgroups was to have a central single location that plugin and other resources could be propagated to multiple machines, but is that also the case with the user profile? Are there any experiences where this was discovered to be an issue? -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __________________________________________________ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party.
