Server Alias ??

[msteffke]

Hi group,
In ProToolkit I am using the ProServerModelNameToAliasedURL function
to find a model in CS, with success. I have created a version of the
program that uses this function for a sister company that sees into our
windchill. Though they are hooked into our windchill intralink, this
funtion fails to work on their end. I am not exactly sure what the
alias is supposed to be. At my site when we register the server, the
name is "Windchill", and the location is
"lmcwindchill.products.com\Windchill". I use "Windchill" as the alias.
At their site, when they register our server they use "Delfield" as the
name and the location is same as ours,
"lmcwindchill.products.com\Windchill". Does the alias need to be
either "Delfield", or "Windchill", or does the value of the Wstring not
really matter as its just local to my program?

Mark -

Is this a synchronous or asynchronous Pro/Toolkit application?

My first suspect in a situation like this is firewall and proxy server
issues, especially if this were an asynchronous application.

Do any other Windchill-related functions work for your outside users?

I would try to answer this question by experimenting with different aliases
in your home company's environment.
