3. 2009 12 Overview July 25 2009 General case of working with the network project PHOTOMOD project resources are located on several network workstations At that any number of storages may be created on different computers The general rule of storages creation is creating local storages on the computers opened for reading writing in LAN Note that the storages on the local hard drives will be filled with data first during project creation and processing Once the storages on the local disks are full the network storages will be filled You should not create several storages locally since all of them use the same disk space When several operators are working with a project on different computers simultaneously you are recommended to consider the following e do not start PHOTOMOD AT and PHOTOMOD Solver modules at the same time on different computers e do not open the same resources with TINs vector objects contour lines etc simultaneously on different computers 7 2 2 Storages creating Click the icon Add storage a in main menu of the Control panel which opens Create connect storage window Fig 5 Select a path to the storage folder Folder name field in the local remote computer file system Enter the storage identifier ID field The ID is a case sensitive string of Latin characters digits and underline symbol Then specify the disk space reserve for the storage Disk space reserve field Push the Connect but
