Accessing two different Synapse servers on one PC.

    Thus far, my partner and I are using two different Synapse-Server.exes.

    I am REMR (ODBC) and he is REMRv (ODBC).

    I am port 8011, he is port 8012.

    We both connect to the same Server 192.168.1.115.



    We recently hired someone to help out with a few things until Sept 2009 when she goes to Nursing School.

    One of her duties is going to be helping doing Filing of incoming Paper.

    With Synapse.exe relying on the Registry to direct traffic to a server (synapse-port), it is not easy to connect to two different servers from one PC.

    For our needs, she would be switching back and forth all day long doing [Synapse Import] and Data Entry for the respective Doctors/Databases.

    Thus ... typing in the "other" server would be quite time consuming.

    Is it possible to feed synapse.exe the server we want to connect to .. via the command line. So I can setup icons on the desktop ?

    synapse.exe [server IP] [port] [user] Note: use might be optional ... just use the synapse-user default if not specified ?


    synapse.exe 192.168.1.115 8011 Cheryl

    synapse.exe 192.168.1.115 8012 Cheryl


    Any other suggestions ?

    Yeah .. use one server.

    What you're doing is bound to cause the wrong documents to be going to the wrong doc.

    Or, just run two synapse clients on the same PC pointing to different servers.

    For that to happen, two unlikely events would have to occur. (1) there are duplicate patient names per doctor, (2) the "needs filing" directory contained the wrong doctor's scans.


    I didn't think that would work.

    Plus I added colo(u)rs to distinguish the doctors :)

    I would at least run them from two different directories.
