multiple JDE.INI management tool/BAT

Any applications/.BAT programs out there that suppot JDE.INI management on fat clients?

Example:
I have a fat client with DV, PY, SB installed and I need to manually copy (JDE_DV.INI to use DV, JDE_PY.INI to use PY, JDE_SB.INI to use SB) into JDE.INI under the directory.

Anyone have anything or do we have to write one ourselves?

Use the utility that comes with EnterpriseOne fat clients - SnapShot.exe. It is located in the C:\e811\system\bin32 folder. Use it carefully though. It can mess things up if you don't know what you're doing. Also, as you can see, I am using 811 w/SP1. I don't know if it comes with 812.

SNAPSHOT is part of the Tools Release, and it's still there in 8.98.

One thing I've done in the past is make my desktop shortcut point to a .bat file. the pseudocode is below (I call it pseudocode because I'm not at a PC with JDE loaded):

rem copy correct ini
copy y:\path\jde_xx.ini x:\jde.ini
rem start JDE
activeConsole.exe

Hope this helps

Simple and clean, nice solution Tom…

Attached is Tom's working solution...

Extracting the files/example directories into your root C: will make this application work.

Of course 3 JDE login short cuts are still too difficult… So here is the BAT for an input driven 1 Bat, 1 Login shortcut… (Using DOS Choice command)

ECHO You need to select an INI A = SB, B = PY, C = DV

CHOICE /C ABC
IF ERRORLEVEL 3 GOTO iniDV
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO iniPY
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO iniSB
ECHO You pressed the Escape key

GOTO End
:iniDV
REM copy correct ini
copy C:\DesktopExample\Directory\INIDrivers\jde_DV.ini C:\DesktopExample\Directory\jde.ini
REM start JDE
C:\DesktopExample\Directory\activeConsole.exe
ECHO DV INI copied, JDE will now start.
PAUSE
GOTO End

:iniPY
REM copy correct ini
copy C:\DesktopExample\Directory\INIDrivers\jde_PY.ini C:\DesktopExample\Directory\jde.ini
REM start JDE
C:\DesktopExample\Directory\activeConsole.exe
ECHO PY INI copied, JDE will now start.
PAUSE
GOTO End

:iniSB
REM copy correct ini
copy C:\DesktopExample\Directory\INIDrivers\jde_SB.ini C:\DesktopExample\Directory\jde.ini
REM start JDE
C:\DesktopExample\Directory\activeConsole.ex
ECHO SB INI copied, JDE will now start.
PAUSE
:End
