Designer through Citrix

I’ve just been asked to pick up a problem regarding running Designer through Citrix over the Internet. We are connecting to a client site and can run Reporter, but they have said we are unable to run Designer. I can’t believe this is right. Anyone else heard of this???

If they have Designer installed on the citrix server, you might still be OK as you could save your universe to a network share.

I run Designer on a Citrix server whenever I work from home. No issues except the cutting and pasting one.

Version 5.1.2, though. Is this a newer version?

I’m still trying to collate all the exact details, version etc. I just wanted to check to see if there were any generally known issues. I’m sure I’ve used Designer through Citrix at a former company and am therefore trying to dig a little deeper to see what the problems are.

At my current location, we have successfully implemented Reporter, Designer & Supervisor under Citrix. We have encountered a couple of minor irritations (eg print orientation sometimes gets a little confused), but have established a number of work-arounds.

We currently use 5.1.6, but aim to implement 6.1b over the next couple of months.

You should be fine while using Designer on Citrix. We have been using Reported ,Supervisor and Designer since 1999 with minor issues.

At present we are using BO 5.1.6 on Citrix Xpe FR2

We use Designer 5.1.6 on Citrix Nfuse with no problem
