Sort path (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

We have a site that have some users on the LAN and some
accessing the system via citrix.
For those coming in via citrix an empty file was placed on
the "M:" drive that in the create event of the application
entry point window looks for this file (the LAN users are not
mapped to M:) and if present runs utility("RUNWIN","SUBST M: C:\","")
Our problem is that the .sfx files from OI are being written to
the citrix users local machine and therefore painfully slow because
of the size of many of the files.
I am assuming this is because the sort path is set to c:\oitemp
and OI somehow is not recognizing the SUBST.
I would try to change the the sort path with set_env() but then
the local users would be messed up.
Can anyone help ?

Hello Bruce,
There's a function called Get.Sort.File() that returns a unique filename based on the workstation ID and a unique number. The syntax is:
sort_filename=Get.Sort.File()
It's used by V119 when it does an external sort.
I documented this one - it will be in the next Programmer's Reference help file.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Ira,
I hope all is well with you.
Does this function allow you to change it on the 'fly' (while logged in) ?

Tried running this but Get.Sort.File is not valid in OI16.

Hello Bruce,
No. When I experimented with it, you need to log off and log back on to make the change to the sort path stick, if you're changing the sort path from the User Settings window of the Database Manager.
Nice to hear from you.
