Hi! I have one server (HMIPAS1) and one client. I made client by instrucitions in WinCC help (Configurations->Multi-User Systems->Client Configuration). In WinCCExplorer->Computer i have defined start picture for client in this way: Omega_Server_HMIPAS1::main.pdl (Omega_Server_HMIPAS1 is symbolic server name). In runtime I get "Start picture not found. Please define the start picture within the Control Center". When I try define start picture again it does not work. Any suggestions? Thank you! |

I've seen this a few times before. Below are somethings that have fixed it : - Ensure you can ping the server on both IP address and computer name - Ensure the SIMATIC Shell folder llists the server andproject state correctly on the client - Hardcode the network speed on the network cards on both client and server - Delete server data package, check file is deleted in Windows Explorer and recreate package - Ensure the exact same version of WinCC is on client and server - Try creating same username / password on both client and server, add the user to the Windows SIMATIC HMI and Administrator groups and log-on using this user (more information on this at http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/22784251) - Check both computers are using the same timezone and clocks are synchronised - Check both computers have same language configured in Control Panel -> Regional Settings ( remember if it's English then it must be English(US) and not English(UK) ) This is not a complete list, just what I can think of right now. Hopefully one of them will work for you. |

Hopefully one of them will work for you. 1. I can ping both computers by IP and computer name 2. Client see HMIPAS1 and Omega_Server project (Status: Run Time when project is activated) 3. "Hardcode the network speed on the network cards on both client and server" Sorry but I dont understand what does this mean [:(] Set speed, in my case, to 100 Mbps? 4. Done. 5. All good. 6. All good. 7. All good. 8. Checked. ----------- Sorry for changing your original quote, I made changes for easy understanding. All things are OK but I get same error [:cry:] |

Go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> LAN Properties -> hit Configure button -> select Advanced tab -> set Link Speed to 100Mbs. You should reboot both computers after making this change. |

I set up speed and checked Event Viewer for errors - none (only info about wincc sql database recovery). I suspect that problem is with user rights on server shared folder. I made user Remote on both computers (server and client) with same passwords. That account is in Administrator and SIMATIC HMI group. I can access from client to server so login is OK. But when I try open some picture from shared server folder (GraCS) I get error "Windows cannot find 'picture_name'. Make sure that you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button and then click Search." but Graphic Designer opening picture. I guess I have problem with user rights on shared folder. Any solution? TY! |

If you are using XP it could be you have Simple File Sharing activated. You should disable this feature in Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View tab -> Uncheck "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" setting. |

I'm dont using simple file sharing. I'd turned off long time ago [:)] On folder SIMATIC HMI group have full control and SYSTEM too. SIMATIC HMI VIEWER has only read right. |

Your folder permissions sound correct to me. What is the OS on the server and the client (XP SP1, XP SP2, W2K SP4, etc. ) ? One more thing to check, is there any anti-virus software installed ? If so you could try temporarily disabling it. |

Firewall and antivirus are off. OS is Windows XP Pro SP2. Is there any other step-by-step manual for setting-up client-server arhitecture? |
