I have run the default InstallApp NT on my PC.

I have the 4.7 service running.

Q1.

I have looked at the OengineServer PDF, but I cant quite figure out how to use the -1 param to show the number of engines that are running. Can you show me.

Q2.

With the 10 engines nominated, when users login, do they automatically get a 'free' engine without me changing their OI login param.

The "1" parameter to make launched engines to be visible partly depends on what client program will be talking to the OEngineServer service. Will this be OECGI3, NetOI, CTO, or some other client program? Assuming you are using OECGI3 then the the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\RevSoft\OECGI3\StartupFlags will control if the engines are visible. If your using some other client the method will be different.

Second, it also depends on the operating system. Windows 2008 and later are more restrictive about what GUI elements a system service can display. Server 2008 will not display visible engines due to security restrictions. To see visible engines on server 2008 the OEngineServer must be run from a command prompt with the "java -jar OESocketServer.jar" command.

The OESocketServer.jar file (aka OEngineServer service) directs incoming connections to a free engine for processing the request. When engines are finished processing a request that engine becomes free for another user/request. This is true for OECGI3 because web requests are short and stateless. If you are using Arev32 or CTO then a session has state and one engine is assigned to the client as long as the client is running their Arev32/CTO session. Again, it depends on your client software.

Please let me know your what server operating system will be running the OEngineServer and what client will be communicating with it and I'll fill in any other missing information regarding your two questions.

I was just interested in running OpenInsight only.

I was assuming that OI sessions could use different engines and that long reports could be assigned an engine.

Was just playing around with it loaded on a Win8 pc.

Tried setting those logging params but every time I restarted the OEngineServer it stopped immediately until I removed them.

Event viewer showed also that it would not allow that client interlace setting, as you said about some op system security.

I was just wanting to know if it was working

Where do you see the Oengineserver 'cfg script' errors.

Sorry if i 'dont getit'
