Re: Xap Desktop



Hi Martin,

Given you have several (more than one) xAP application running on
your PC you must have a xAP hub launched as the very first xAP
application - I always recommend using xAP Viewer as a hub to start with
so you can familiarise youself with xAP - (Viewer shows everything that
happens). When correctly launched and operating as a hub it will say xFX
Hub in its title bar.  Later you can replace this with a background
(service) hub.
Yes there are potential issues with firewalls if they are enabled as
all of those apps recover data from the internet to display and
communicate with each other via IP if they are on different PC's.
However you can just 'allow' the apps in the firewall config , or some
firewalls prompt at launch.  I am around this afternoon all day and
monitor the xAP Automation Yahoo groups so if you don't have any success
I can help you there. xAP Desktop is one of the more complex xAP
applications to cut your teeth on but worth the time.

Kevin
