Start up Action and Essibox connection

Start up Action.

It is possible to get Annapurna to run a command file whenever it is started. This can be useful to make network connections to Essibox or similar. This will be used for making an Essibox connection.

Connecting Essibox into Annapurna

We need to be able to access Essibox over the network.  

One way is when Annapurna is started to make a connection.

This is achieved by making a batch file called Annapurnabatch.bat 

with the following instruction.

net use \\essibox_server /USER:essibox ""

Do check that the essibox server PC is called essibox_server and if it is not

then change as appropriate.

In the settings / folders

If you want to trace in Essibox and then bring the traces into Annapurna:

Put the traces as \\essibox_server\PMS_OUT

In order for Essibox to get the results from Annapurna

Put VCAGlazer / Folder for glazing files as \\essibox_server\PMS_IN

An alternative batch file which maps both in an out folders and stops if there is a problem.

echo off
set ESSIBOXSERVER=ESSIBOX_SERVER1
set ESSIBOXPASSWORD=""
set ESSIBOXUSER=essibox
echo "Connect to Essibox"
net use y: /d

net use  y: \\%ESSIBOXSERVER%\PMS_IN %ESSIBOXPASSWORD% /USER:%ESSIBOXUSER% 
if errorlevel 1 pause

net use r: /d

net use  r: \\%ESSIBOXSERVER%\PMS_OUT %ESSIBOXPASSWORD% /USER:%ESSIBOXUSER% 
if errorlevel 1 pause
