BOM Mulltiple Machines

[tedappleberry]

I have a server setup which runs 24/7 so obviously I want this to monitor for sniping, etc. That said I would like to pull up BOM from my local workstations but attach to the same configuration on my server so I don't have to maintain to different item data files. What's the best way to set this up?
Thanks!

Because BOM so far brings no client-server functionality trying to synchronize more than one BOM installation will always end in some weird workaround.

1) Maybe it sounds funny but one of the easiest way is to use Remote Desktop or other remote software to directly work with the BOM running on the server.

2) A dirty file-based solution could be to deal with the BOM item file, named 'Artikel.csv':

- copy 'Artikel.csv' from the server
- replace 'Artikel.csv' on the workstation with that from the server
- start BOM on the workstation -> add items, prices etc. -> save and exit BOM on the workstation
- copy 'Artikel.csv' from the workstation
- shut down BOM on the server
- replace 'Artikel.csv' on the server with that from the workstation
- start BOM on the server

3) Another workaround is to add items via browser to your 'watched items' list in ebay. This could be done from any browser on any machine. After that you have to use some remote access again to read in the watched items in the BOM on the server and add prices etc.

4) Last but not least there is a remote E-Mail function in BOM. If configured you could use E-Mails with special syntax to add or change items, prices etc.
