Well TMS2014 is running on our application server at the moment.
Because…if we install TMS2014 on the client workstations as we have always done in the past, then those users who
need Raiser’s Edge 7 installed on their workstations too won’t be able to use TMS2014 (because GS says they’re incompatible). That’s a big overlap of users for us. GS recommends using the “application server” scenario as a workaround. We’ve kind of wanted
to move away from the client workstation installs for a while anyhow—it makes upgrading a total pain. So it sounds like your setup is what GS recommends, although using different terminology?? Anyhow, my tech support here tells me we don’t have a terminal
server, so I’m still at a loss.
GS provided some docs that she’s working with right now to get our application server configured differently. I’m
not sure if that will tell us what to do with the clients though.
Thanks for your input…I’ll see if your configuration might be an option for us.

Subject: Re: hosting TMS2014 on an application server
I don’t understand what is running on your “application server” and why you need it.
At the Yale Center for British Art, we have the database set up on a DB server and one installation of TMS installed on a Terminal server (web app for
thesaurus also installed on same terminal server).
Users remote desktop (from Macs and PCs), into the terminal server to access TMS.
Very simple and works very well. I know that the Yale Art Gallery is set up the same way.
Let me know if you have questions, David

Hi all,
We’re using Raiser’s Edge 7 and are upgrading to TMS2014 and so facing the ugly incompatibility issue. We’re going with the recommended
workaround of hosting TMS2014 on an application server. Gallery Systems doesn’t have any documentation on how to set this up though.
I know some of you out there possibly have faced the same dilemma? Anyone hosting TMS (any version) on an application server?
I’m interested in your experiences with this as well as in need of some basic configuration instructions. I have the servers set up an running TMS2014 (a database server, an application server, and the Thesaurus web server) but we’re at a loss as to how to
get the client machines set up to access the application. We tried some super basic options after Google was no help and no success.
Oh wise and wonderful TMS wizards, please advise!
Thanks,
Jessica
