Note that there are several ways to set tree paths on mdsip servers. The most common way is probably to use the `envsyms` feature. Will post more on the topic...

Hi @ahaglory, Thanks for the additional detail. Much appreciated. When I did my experiments yesterday, I forgot to use `envsyms` -- which is the standard and recommended way to set...

Hi @ahaglory, On my Rocky 9.3 VM, I have experimented with `envsyms` and reproduced the error that you've seen with thick-client. Some initial debugging shows that the tree paths that...
