Remote Desktop (PF7)

Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop ( formerly known as as ‘Terminal Services’) allows remote access, from anywhere in the world, to the Perfect Fit datafile on your server.

To set up Remote Desktop you will need a dedicated server with Windows Server 2008 or newer.
Remote Desktop is included with the server software but needs to be specifically set up. We recommend hiring an outside network technician to do this for you as AG Systems will not support your network.

Once you have Remote Desktop installed you will need to create a profile on the server for each person who will access Perfect Fit. Each profile will need to have Perfect Fit installed. For example, you have 3 people, Jim, Sara, and Bob, who will each access Perfect Fit on the server. So you will have to create 3 profiles, 1 for Jim, 1 for Sara, and 1 for Bob. Perfect Fit needs to be installed in each of those profiles.

The Perfect Files you will need to download, unzip, and install are the PF7 Library file, Omnis Studio, and the Reports library. The following links will take you to the download page:

• Omnis Studio 4.2 or 4.3 for Windows XP/Vista/Win7

Note that there are two version of Omnis, 4.2 and 4.3. The version you need to install is dependent on the serial number
you purchased. If your serial number starts with “WBRN42” get the 4.2 version. If your serial number starts with “WBRN43”
get the 4.3 version.

• Perfect Fit Library File (username and password required)

Note that there are two versions of the library file, one that works with Omnis 4.2 and one that works with Omnis 4.3. The version you need to install is dependent on the serial number you purchased. If your serial number starts with “WBRN42” get the 4.2 version. If your serial number starts with “WBRN43” get the 4.3 version.

After you’ve unzipped the files take the following steps:

1. Run Omnis Studio. When it asks you where to install the Omnis file browse to the desired employee’s profile folder and install there.
2. Create a new folder in the desired employee’s profile and name it “PFIT”.
3. Place the unzipped Perfect Fit Library file inside the PFIT folder.
4. Browse to the Omnis.exe file located within the employee’s profile. The Omnis 4.2 file is located within RainingData > OS42. The Omnis 4.3 file is located with TigerLogic > OS432. Then create a shortcut for the Omnis.exe and place the shortcut on the employee’s desktop.
5. The Omnis.exe need to be told which library file to open with. Use the information in the following link to complete this step then return here and proceed to step 6. /PERFECT+FIT+SHORTCUTS+IN+TERMINAL+SERVER
6. Log into Perfect Fit by double-clicking the newly created shortcut.

Repeat steps 1-6 for each profile.
