Web Interface for Resource Manager 2.1

Saturday, 09 December 2006 by Michel Roth

Jason Conger has just released version 2.1 of his brilliant Web Interface for Resource Manager! Just in case you don't know it yet, Web Interface for Resource Manager is a web application that contains several SQL queries to display useful information contained in the RM Summary Database in several kinds of diagrams. It actually allows you to some useful information out of your Resource Manager Summary Database! Since I'm so enthusiastic about this tool, it was honored to help Jason out in translation Web Interface for Resource Manager 2.1 into Dutch. So now all Dutch managers don;t have to pretend anymore that they understand the graphs...

So what's all the new stuff in version 2.1? Web Interface for Resource Manager version 2.1 includes everything in version 2.0, plus the following new features:

Graphical Configuration Tool
In the past versions of Web Interface for Resource Manager, you had to manually edit the Web.Config file to set up your database connections and time zone overrides. This new graphical tool allows you to set up your options much like you set up an ODBC connection using Windows.

Oracle Support
Many of you have asked for an Oracle version of Web Interface for Resource Manager. Version 2.1 has Oracle support integrated. Just open the configuration tool, select Oracle as your Database Server Type and supply your TNS Service Name. One thing to note though, you will need to have the Oracle client installed on your web server.

Multiple Language Support
Web Interface for Citrix Resource Manager has been globalized to support more languages. Currently, Web Interface for Resource Manager supports the following languages:
� US English
� German (thanks goes to Josef Zeiler for the translation)
� Dutch (thanks goes to Michel Roth for the translation)
