Client configuration
Infor Smart Office always needs a server to start and execute. The client receives this information, a URL to the Grid over HTTPS, as a start parameter, or else retrieves it as from a group policy set in Active Directory. The URL to the Grid is stored on a local file so that it will remember the last Grid used.
If Infor Smart Office is started from the Windows Start menu, the URL will be taken from the local file (if there is not a group policy that prohibits this).
Even though the installation point is connected to a specific server for Infor Smart Office, you can reconfigure Infor Smart Office to connect to any other server for Infor Smart Office as long as the server is of a supported version. This makes it possible to have one installation point that serves as a production environment and a test environment at the same time.
To specify a new server URL to Infor Smart Office, start the client with a URL in
this format:
http://installpoint/MangoClient.application?server=https://gridserverurl
.
For example,
http://myserver/mango/MangoClient.application?server=https://myserver.mycorp.com:19006
.
If two or more servers for Infor Smart Office are used frequently, create two Internet shortcuts on the Windows desktop.
Every time Infor Smart Office is started with a URL, the installation point must be accessible. When starting Infor Smart Office from the Start menu in Windows, it is not necessary for the installation point to be accessible; Infor Smart Office will start anyway.
