Capturing machine name

Hi,

 

We are about to roll out windows 7 and was wondering how does Tessitura capture machine name in TX_machine_location table?

The reason I want to understand this process is to we want user to be able to run application right after its installed and shouldn't have to see "This machine does not have assigned location".

The way I want to approach this is to have a SQL trigger to run stored procedure to update TX_machine_location avoiding to display that annoying message to user.

Has anyone worked on this or has any other way to achieve what we want to?

 

Many Thanks,

  • We have been going through this process over the last few weeks. Luckily, we've done it as a slow rollout so it hasn't been too bad. Basically, our IT guy sets up the computer and one of the first things he does is opens the Tess application so it gets the location not assigned error. Then he either calls or emails me the computer number(s) and I assign the location.... hopefully before the other employee needs in there! It's not a perfect solution (or what you asked for) but it's worked for us. I'm pretty sure that you can manually enter the computer names into the system table. If that interests you. I haven't tried it myself so I'm not sure if it works as nicely as I imagine it will.
