Windows Session Type

Vertec uses the SESSIONNAME environment variable to determine the context in which the application is running. This can be useful for support purposes to determine whether it is RemoteDesktop or Citrix. The values are:

  • Unknown: Whenever the environment variable is undeclared or assumes a Vertec unknown value. This is normal in normal operation.
  • Local: The desktop app was started directly on the server or single user.
  • Citrix (disambiguation)
  • Remote Desktop

Arguments

Corresponds to the command line with which the app was started. This is the path and any arguments passed.

[Connection]

Contains information about the connection of the client to the server.

NameSignificanceDesktopCloud (disambiguation)Web
Initial server address

This is the address used to connect when the Cloud Client is started.

Corresponds to the server address as specified in the Vertec.ini file or to the command line parameter /SERVER.

If the value for Initial Server Address Embedded is the desktop app.

xxx
Server AddressThis is the actual connected address. This may differ from the Initial Server Address to which the connection is made, as for example the server can forward, e.g. from http://xy:8081 (Initial Server Address) to https://xy:8443 (Server Address).xx
Transport Method

The Transport Method describes the protocol for communication between server and client.

Essentially, there are 4 different transport protocols:

  • WebSocket (HTML5): A full duplex connection between server and client. Requires at least Windows 8 (or Server 2012 R2) on server and client.
  • Server Sent Events (HTML5): A push technology.
  • Forever Frame (Comet): Only in Internet Explorer (hidden IFrame with long held http request).
  • Ajax long polling (Comet): http requests that remain open until the server sends a response.

Vertec checks which protocols are supported by the server and client and selects the best one available jointly. In the case of the web app, the web browser is the client.

xx

[Server]

This section is shown every time the CloudServer is used (cloud app, web app, and in the future also Android, etc.). It is the information of the server, more precisely: the session (but this is consistent across all sessions).

NameSignificanceDesktopCloud (disambiguation)Web
versionUp-to-date Vertec versionxx
BuildUp-to-date Vertec buildxx
Protocol version

In order for the server and client to communicate, they must not only be together (see Transport Method under [Connection]), but also speak the same language. This is ensured by the protocol version.

x

[General]

This is general information from the VertecLib. This is where the business logic runs in Vertec. The VertecLib is integrated into the desktop app or, in the case of cloud clients, into the session (Vertec.Session.exe).
