In a WAN situation where File Server at each end and Arev V3.12
as well as NT Service at each end …..
1. Attaching a Data Directory from one site to another what happens
with the REVPARAM ServerOnly setting? Which server does it
regard as the validating server?
2. What if the remote unit is a SingleUser Runtime without the
NT Service? How does it then validate the Revparam settings if it is only a data directory being attached and not the system directory?
We would appreciate some feedback if possible.

If you have the REVPARAM file with the ServerOnly parameter set there MUST be a LH Service on the server where the file resides. If there is no Service it will fail.
2. What if the remote unit is a SingleUser Runtime without the NT Service? How does it then validate the Revparam settings if it is only a data directory being attached and not the system directory? If i understand this question properly and you are connecting to the NT Server with a NT service to attach a data directory with a REVPARAM file it will attach.

Is our understanding correct? Regards, Kevin at KPW Well, the answer is rather simple. The client checks the REVPARAM settings when it attaches a location. The server checks it when it is asked to use files at a location. Therefor, the client will be checking to see if a server is there and, if not, it will abort using any files at a location with a REVPARAM setting of ServerOnly=1 (or TRUE).
