Per database

Sometimes you want Impact Suite to be installed on only one database and bypassed when opening others. This may occur if you are on a shared hosted solution such as Citrix or Terminal Server  where multiple companies are accessing the same physical server box. 


Under that scenrio if you install Impact Suite ALL users from ALL companies accessing the same physical server box will see the add-on. If only one company needs access to Impact Suite folow these steps:

  1. Close Sage ACT!
  2. On the server box navigate to this folder
          64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\ACT\Act for Windows\Plugins\Durkin Computing\
          32-bit: C:\Program Files\ACT\Act for Windows\Plugins\Durkin Computing\
  3. Using notepad.exe create a file named "ImpactV4Databases.Admin.XML"
  4. Place the text below in the file and save.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<DocumentElement>
  <ImpactV4Databases>
    <DatabaseName>DurkinACT2011demo</DatabaseName>
  </ImpactV4Databases>
  <ImpactV4Databases>
    <DatabaseName>ACT2011demo</DatabaseName>
  </ImpactV4Databases>
</DocumentElement>



When Impact loads it will read the  ImpactV4Databases.Admin.XML file. If your database name is listed Impact Suite will load into the Sage ACT! interface. If your database is NOT listed then Impact Suite will NOT load into the interface.  When the database name does not appear in this file Impact will be bypassed.

Example: You have a database name "My Productions" and it is the only database you which Impact to appear. then the contents of the "ImpactV4Databases.Admin.XML" will look like this:


<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<DocumentElement>
  <ImpactV4Databases>
    <DatabaseName>My Productions</DatabaseName>
  </ImpactV4Databases>
</DocumentElement>


If you have multiple databases copy the 3 lines between the "ImpactV4Databases" text and past as many time as databases you need. Change the value of the database name for each line.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<DocumentElement>
  <ImpactV4Databases>
    <DatabaseName>DatabaseName 1</DatabaseName>
  </ImpactV4Databases>
  <ImpactV4Databases>
    <DatabaseName>DatabaseName 2</DatabaseName>
  </ImpactV4Databases
  <ImpactV4Databases>
    <DatabaseName>DatabaseName 3</DatabaseName>
  </ImpactV4Databases
  <ImpactV4Databases>

    <DatabaseName>DatabaseName 4</DatabaseName>
  </ImpactV4Databases>
</DocumentElement>


NOTE - The font bold text is for documentation purposes oly. In notepad.exe you do not need to bold any text.
