TELESCOPE OPERATIONS

CITRIX ROME SERVER ACCESS

General

Citrix Metaframe and the GBT Citrix server provide us with two important capabilities. First, Citrix Metaframe allows us to run Windows (PC) type programs in a Unix/Linux environment without the use of a Windows emulator. Second, by using the GBT Citrix server, we make programs like OpsLog available site wide without having to install these programs on every workstation.

Info

OpsLog is located on the GBT Citrix Server and can be accessed via a PC or Unix/Linux workstation. The steps below assume the Citrix Metaframe program is installed on your workstation.
