Setting launch pad options with multiple bckstrs

Bowker

How should I set the two fields in the launch pad setup "remote setup" screen if I want to allow direct editing on multiple backing stores?

I opened a case with IW and it is possible - here is the response I received that worked.

The way LaunchPad works is that it will try to match the beginning of
the vpath to whatever is in the "to this area on the TeamSite server"
and replace that with what's in the "Map this local mount" field. So you
can not just put only the mapped drive (for example: Z:\) in the local
mount under remote setup.

If you really want a workaround, LaunchPad can be configured to have
more than one mount mapping, but not through the UI.
The steps to do that are listed below:
1) From TeamSite GUI, using Remote Setup to create a mapping for one
store, eg.
- Map this local mount: Z:\store1;
- to this area on the TeamSite server: store1.

2) quit the browser;

3) Edit the file at C:\IWTemp\<TeamSite_Machine>\launchpad.prefs.
It will look something like:

uploadmode = 0
mounts
{
{
vpath = "store1"
path = "Z:\\store1"
}
}
showlistcolumns = { 118, 118, 118, 117, 117}

Edit that file in notepad and duplicate the store mapping like:

uploadmode = 0
mounts
{
{
vpath = "store1"
path = "Z:\\store1"
}
{
vpath = "store2"
path = "Z:\\store2"
}
}
showlistcolumns = { 118, 118, 118, 117, 117}

After above steps, it should make LaunchPad work for both stores, as
long as the user doesn't change anything in the Remote Setup in the
LaunchPad Setup dialog.
