REACT: Why don't I see any of the Test Resources in REACT?

Answer

If you attempt to Display or Edit Test Resources and there are no resources present the config.sys file used by the local GUI is not set correctly. 

There are two options for updating this.

Option 1)  Run Download Configuration Files (preferred method).

Go to the Windows Start button, All Programs, REACT, Download Configuration Files.

Verify the Server name is your REACT server's name or IP Address, note full DNS name may be required.  If server name is not correct close the window; go to the Windows Start button, All Programs, REACT, REACT Configuration.  Click OK to the first window that opens.  On the second window populate the Server name with the correct information and click OK.  Bring the Download Configuration Files window back up.

Enter a Unix user account that has access to the REACT server and press OK.  Note this is not a REACT GUI Login account. 

This will ftp files from the REACT server to your PC resulting in your GUI setup to match the settings of the server.

Close any REACT Testing or Admin GUI and reopen.  The Test Resources will now appear when attempt to Display Test Resources or Edit existing Test Resources.

Option 2) Update the config.sys on your local PC.

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the directory the REACT files are installed in.  The default directory is C:\Hekimian\REACT2001\.  Your directory may be different.

Go to the data directory under the REACT2001 directory.

Open the config.sys file with WordPad or other editor.

Find the USE_RESOURCE_OBJECTS variable:

# This parameter determines whether the resource server will be using
# the new resource server architecture. Admin GUI also uses this to determine
# whether it needs to provide support to resource server
# with this new architecture.
#   YES - resource server will be using the new architecture, admin GUI provides
#         supoort to this resource server feature.
#   NO  - resource server will not be using the new architecture, admin
#         GUI will disable support this resource server feature (Default).
#
USE_RESOURCE_OBJECTS YES
 

This should set to YES.  Modify the entry and save the file.

Close any REACT Testing or Admin GUI and reopen.  The Test Resources will now appear when attempt to Display Test Resources or Edit existing Test Resources.
