Start options

The following options are located on the Session Options page when creating or editing client profiles in the Session Configuration Manager:

Run in a Separate Window

This option applies to Pro display profiles.

The Run in a Separate Window option opens the client session in a separate browser window.

You can also use this option to configure a Pro display profile to launch multiple standalone sessions using the same configured connection. For details, see Multiple sessions.

The default is Clear. The host session runs inside the browser.

Server URL

With this option, you have the ability to run sessions from a web server other than the default Web-to-Host server. The URL you enter indicates the location of the alternate Web-to-Host server.

Enable Local Start

This option allows users to run host sessions when the web server is unavailable. With this option, whenever the user opens a client profile stored on the web server, Web-to-Host copies that profile to the client workstation. The profile resides on the web server as an HTML file that is named after the client session:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Micro Focus\Rumba\LocalStart

It is best to run client profiles from the server to ensure that users have the most up-to-date configuration and software.

When running local start profiles, help files are only available if, during configuration, the administrator selected Install User Guide locally. Auto macro files and keyboard map files configured by the administrator are cached on the client workstation when the session is downloaded from the server, so these local copies are accessible to the client session when the originating server is down. By default, the Enable Local Start option is not selected.
