OBSOLETE.JDE.INI

Hi Jdelist,
I have someone who can not get into OneWorld via Citrix ,
after the ica neighbourhood log on , an Obsolete.jde.ini messages appears. I
know roughly
what this is , it is a user profile issue and last time I solved
this was going into user manager for domains \ profile and discovered that
their was a home drive
path set for a connection to a server on the network which contained
the jde.ini files . This was removed and like other users the TS_Profile
home path only .
For more information we are on the OneWorld.Xe version , Service
pack 14 and the user is using windows 95 . So far he is the only person that
is unable to get
into OneWorld with out this Obsolete.jde.ini message.

Does anyone know another fix for this ?

Regards

Sally

Sally,

Make sure all your Citrix Servers have the same .ini file also go into the user profile share and remove his ini file have him log out and back in.

I had this onec and it happened because the ini file in the server did not matec the one the user was using.

The obsolete JDE.ini file is the result of multiple JDE.ini files being copied at once or some spuratic network congestion that causes only 1/10 of the copied file from the Citrix \Winnt directory to the users home directory. We have a batch file that the user can use which will copy a jde.ini file from a shared folder on another server to their home directory. Also, we are experimenting with changing the date of the JDE.ini file in the \Winnt folder. We set the date to a previous date so it won't replicate overtop of users existing JDE.ini files.

Hello Sally,

We were suffering this issue as well. To solve it we do:

1. Implement movile profiles
2. Implement user's home directory in one server and folder.

When you make this in the home directories user will appear one folder for each user. In the user folder will appear the Windows folder. In this folder should be copied the jde.ini of the last OW Terminal server installation. For expample you have 2 TS, you install a new package in the TS 2 and then the same in the TS 1, so the jde.ini of the TS 1 should be distributed, manually, to the Windows folder of each user in
user's home directory.

I hope it work for you.

If you find an automated way to do this, please let me know. [email protected]
