Multiple data sets for the same app

[CaseyR]

HI,

This has probably been addressed somewhere but I just could not find it.  I would like to give each of my client organizations their own data set in a separate folder.  They would include the sub folder name in the URL that would be passed to a SessionValue for use as part of a variable for table name.  The Multi-site host approach seems like overkill because it is only one app.

Any links, or suggestions for implementing this approach would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks.

Hi Casey

I had the same question recently and this is the thread that resulted:

It covers other ground but Rainer thinks that lots of directories (one per user) is ok.

I have successfully experimented with this via  using:

Webhandler/ProcessLink/Beforeparent embed point to set the directory with the directory command

Thanks a lot, Keith.

I will try that embed.

In the embed you use the SETPATH command to point to the correct directory (not DIRECTORY of course).

you absolutely should not use SetPath.
you should use File name variables.
