In order to allow Windows clients to connect to your server using the Configuration Wizard, you must fill in the server.ini configuration file, which is located in the etc subfolder of the Harmony installation package. This file will provide Configuration Wizard with information on the server as well as of each scene data server it is connected to.
How to configure the server.ini file on macOS
-
In a terminal, type in the following command:
$ sudo vi "/Applications/Toon Boom Harmony 24 [Edition]/Harmony [Edition].app/Contents/tba/etc/server.ini"
-
In server.ini, type in the information for the database server as well as the directory name and hostname of every scene data server in your network, like in the following example:
[WizardConfig] ServerName=<server name> InstallationDrive=C UsaShare=<harmony share name> UsadbDrive=C UsadbShare=<database share name>Replace the tags between <> brackets with the appropriate values. Make sure to remove the <> brackets from the configuration file as well:
- <server name>: The host name of the Harmony database server.
- <harmony share name>: The name of the share that gives access to the Harmony binaries and configuration files. By default, this share is named usa.
- <database share name>: The name of the share that gives access to the database files. By default, this share is named USA_DB.
For example, if your database server is called harmonyserver, your Harmony installation is shared under the share name usa and your Harmony database is shared under the share name USA_DB, this would be the proper configuration for this server:
[WizardConfig] ServerName=harmonyserver InstallationDrive=C UsaShare=usa UsadbDrive=C UsadbShare=USA_DB
-
Under the line starting with UsadbShare, enter information about each scene data storage space used by your Harmony database, in the following format:
FileSystem<file system number>=C <share name> <server name>Replace the tags between <> brackets with the appropriate values. Make sure to remove the <> brackets from the configuration file as well:
- <file system number>: The zero-based index of the scene data storage space. For example, the first scene data storage space for your database should be named FileSystem0 and the second one, FileSystem1.
- <share name>: The name of the share containing the scene data. Usually, this share is either named USADATA or usadata, and its name may be followed by a zero-padded, zero-based number indicating the index of the scene data storage space. For example, the first scene data storage space could be named USADATA, usadata000, usadata001, etc.
- <server name>: The host name of the scene data server. If the scene data storage space is hosted on the same machine as the database, then this host name is the same as the host name for the database. Otherwise, you must specify the name of the machine on which the scene data storage space is located.
For example, if this is the first scene data storage space for your database, it is hosted on a computer named dataserver and its name is usadata000, the appropriate configuration for this would be as follows:
FileSystem0=C usadata000 dataserver
