Hi Manh,

Yes, you can do this running an aplicattion, which check every x second if the server is running. Follow the documentation about it:
https://docs.tatsoft.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=29493227

After reading the documentation you will see that the target will be something like this: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Tatsoft\FactoryStudio9.2.28.4\fs-9.2\AutoStartSmartClient.exe” /url:http://127.0.0.1/fs-9.2/TSmartClient.application

Hi Manh,

  1. Are you using Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome as default browser? Can you please try to use Microsoft Edge or install the extension ClickOnce for Google in Chrome?

  3. Could you check in the icon tray bar in right bottom corner if the TWebServer is running in the same port you use in the URL?

You should do a link with these parameters, the PortNumber should be the same number as in the image above (TWebServer Port Number)
http://“IP”:“PortNumber”/fs-9.2/TSmartClient.application

  1. We have documentation about redundancy in the following link, there are 2 types of redundancy and you can have more information of which one you need here:

Let us know if it helps you please.

Hi, Manh

1 - You can create a TWebServer shortcut, right-click, and go to edit its properties and change the ‘Target’ to: ‘C:Program Files (x86)… Product Name TWebServer.exe’ /port:.

Also, if you are using devices, check the remote settings like IP : Port you wanted in Edit Devices Channels RemoteSettings and make sure that

You have port: 3100 configured for server computer

You have port: 3100 configured for remote computer

2 - For the second question, we would like to have more information about what specifically you want to do,

Do you need to close the TWebServer sometimes? Do you restart the computer constantly?

To help you with this task, we will be sending you a link to the TWebServer documentation

Hi Manh,

We would like to explain to you that TRichClient and TSmartClient works the same, the only difference between them is how it is opened, TSmartClient uses ClickOnce to open through the web browser and TRich Client uses FactoryStudio installation to open it. With that said, we would like to make you a question to find the best solution for you:

  1. Why do you need TRichClient over TSmartClient when both options can provide the same result?

Bests,
Tatsoft Team.

Dear expert
Thank for your feedback.
Allow me to explain as following:

  1. In order to TSmartClient can work, The server computer need to run TWebServer. That is why i want to use TRichClient instead of TSmartClient.
  2. My operating system includes 3 computer: Primary server, secondary server and Client station.
  • In normally operation, I’m deploying the order in the following steps:
  • Run TStartup app on primary Server
  • Run TStartup app on Secondary Server
  • Run TRichClient app on Client station
    => Can I do all of them only on client station?
