Naming servers available to the Participants and Activate activities
This task applies only to sites running SQL Server and a named instance.
When the Participants and Activate activities generate the selection list for the Server
fi
eld, they
do not include named instances. Users can normally choose an unlisted server simply by typing its
name in the input box. However, this does not work for named instances. To avoid this situation it
is best to restrict users to choosing from a prede
fi
ned list of server names only.
The names of available servers and access rights to those servers are de
fi
ned the
SampleMgtGUI.Con
fi
g.xml
fi
le. To restrict the servers that can be chosen in Participants and
Activate edit the
fi
le as follows:
E
Navigate to [INSTALL_FOLDER]\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\6\Interviewer
Server\FMRoot\Shared\Con
fi
g and open
SampleMgtGUI.Con
fi
g.Xml
using a text editor of your
choice.
E
Locate the
<SampleManagementGUI>
tag and add the
showexistingonly="false"
attribute
as follows:
<SampleManagementGUI showexistingonly="false">
...
</SampleManagementGUI>
E
Save your changes and close the
fi
le.
