MultiTerm Desktop Client on GroupShare Application Server?

Christine Bruckner

Hi,

can we safely install the latest MultiTerm 2019 Desktop client (Build 15.0.3.55976) on the GS application server (SDL GroupShare 2017 SR-1 CU 10)? Or are there any problems as they use different MT Core versions?

I know that having client software on the server is not an officially supported scenario, but it would make things much easier and faster to administrate MultiTerm directly on the application server.

Thanks

Christine

    Hi ,

    Indeed it is not recommended because of the difference in SDL MultiTerm 2019 Core versions. However it should be okay if you install MultiTerm after CU10 (as the core version will then be higher).

    The next time you update GroupShare, it will likely install its own version of the core again which may not be compatible with the then-current version of MultiTerm 2019 Desktop so you may have to reinstall MultiTerm at this point.

    So the answer to your question is that it will probably work, but you do it at your own risk and you may have version issues further down the line. Personally I would prefer to administrate my termbases from the comfort of my PC rather than have to open a Remote Desktop session every time I want to do this. Is there a specific scenario where logging in remotely is preferable?

    Kind regards,
    Nick
