T8 MTS / Re: T8 MTS Network Install

« Last post by BIG 3 Creative on January 12, 2021, 02:54:48 AM »

Works great! thank you!

Just curious if I did not want to share the full C:/ drive  on the server could I just share the C:/T8MTS folder and change the mapped path to Z:/t8mts.adb (excluding the T8MTS folder that Z is mapped to?) 
In other words... does the local instance need to access anything outside the networked T8MTS folder on the server C:/ Drive?

Thanks,
Mike

T8 MTS / Re: T8 MTS Network Install

« Last post by Preston on January 07, 2021, 02:15:35 AM »

Here is the simplest way.

First decide which machine is going to be the "server" or "master" and make its hard drive map-able as a network drive.

Then on the other computer (workstation) map that network drive and give it a drive letter such as "Z:" for example.

Next do a full install of T8 MTS on the workstation.

Then edit the desktop shortcut and make these changes.

For "Target" change C:\SCS\system\alpha5.exe "C:\T8MTS\t8mts.adb" -INCLUDE="C:\T8MTS\SC8.startup" to C:\SCS\system\alpha5.exe "Z:\T8MTS\t8mts.adb" -INCLUDE="C:\T8MTS\SC8.startup"

Change "Start In" from C:\T8MTS to Z:\T8MTS

After that you should be good to go. The server computer must be running at all times when the workstation will be accessing the data. Any updates to T8 MTS or the Catalog Builder should only be done on the master computer.

The catalog builder should only be run on the master computer.

T8 MTS / T8 MTS Network Install

Is there a way to install T8 MTS on another workstation on the same LAN that would share the same database?

Thanks,

The MTS Catalog Builder / Re: S&S Activewear

« Last post by Preston on January 03, 2021, 07:28:04 AM »

The S&S spreadsheet looks to be close to the Sanmar final layout. Editing the S&S spreadsheet to fit the Sanmar layout should not be that hard. Using the Sanmar format importer on a spreadsheet that does not meet the layout structure will not break the importer but you would end up with a mess in your temporary catalog.

Let me take a closer look at modifying the S&S spreadsheet and then I will make a video on it. It may be a few days before I can get all that done. I have a lot going on and a lot of medical visits coming up.

Thanks Preston!  With that S&S catalog this will be perfect!  I was wondering if I could just use the Sanmar or Alpha importer, but didn't want to cause any problems with either of those since we use both Sanmar and Alpha as well.

Looks like they have changed it since the last time I saw one from them back in 2016. Anyway it looks to be very close to the Sanmar format so it should not take much to either move columns around in the file or for me to actually make a S&S import in the catalog builder.

I will put together a video of how to reformat the spread sheet and then import is as a "SanMar" format as that may be the fastest way for you to add it in.

I will then look at adding S&S to the catalog builder which will take a bit longer.

You should see this button: If not, let me know.  I also increased the attachment size to 500kb. Not sure if that is enough for you to attach it if the download option does not work for you.

Thanks for looking in to this for us Preston!  I looked under downloads for an option to upload and didn't see one, I tried to attach the file to this message, but it exceeds the attachment file size limit.

T8 MTS / Re: T8 Full install not working

« Last post by Brad_G on January 02, 2021, 11:56:55 AM »

Thanks Preston!  I downloaded the installer again, don't know what the difference it, it was a different size than the one I downloaded yesterday, but it worked.  I am in and setting up the software now!
