Environment considerations
This page provides technical information about the environment in which PlanetPress
Workflow is intended to run.
Terminal Services
PlanetPress Workflow does not support Remote Desktop (Terminal) Services because
Workflow runs on single server and only one user can log on at once.
Terminal Services may also be referred to as Terminal Server or Remote Administration Mode
(Windows Server 2003 and 2008).
Single-User Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) (where only one person can use RDP at a time)
is supported for PlanetPress Workflow version 6.2 and higher, however it is only supported in
Windows XP or Windows 2003. While later versions of Windows may not cause issues when
accessing PlanetPress Workflow through RDP, these combinations are no longer tested and
may not be functional.
Virtual environments
PlanetPress Workflow supports the following virtual environments:
l VMWare Environments. This includes VMWare Player, VMWare Workstation as well as
VMWare ESX Server.
l
VMWare VMotion. This means the virtual machine hosting PlanetPress Workflow can be
automatically moved from one ESX server to another in a clustered installation.
