Hi guys, I have a doubt in the retargeting function, also a general question. Is it possible to open another vision client without closing the present. like a new vision client should have to be opened while retargeting in a new client. Is this possible and if so how can we do that. ---

Retargeting only replaces the current client project with a different project. You can execute an external executable (via [system.util.execute](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.util.execute) or java’s [ProcessBuilder](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html)) to launch another separate client, but you won’t be able to preload any authentication. ---

Thanks for the reply, can you provide me a solution little bit more specific. I hope you understand my question, like a retargeting function rather than opening the new project in the same window I need it in additional client window. Is there a way to do that. new project should be opened in a separate client. Also can you please provide me with an example if possible. ---

I do not have an example handy. But there are examples for `system.util.execute()` at the link. Look at the shortcut for launching a Vision Client and do the same with `system.util.execute`. It will not be the same as retargeting. ---

But will that open the project that we are expecting to launch, it will open a vision client only. Am I right? My requirement is little bit different as I need to open that project also. please consider I have 3 projects --Project A, Project B, Project C. Project A is my main Navigation project, So from here I can access the other 2 projects. So if I click on a button , it should launch a new vision client suppose Project B is launching, then It should have to open it in another vision client and the project A shouldn’t have to close, Also the Project b should have to be directly open, rather than just a client window. Is this possible with the method that you have mentioned. If so please help me in this. ---

Shortcuts to launch a Vision Client include a project to load. You obviously have such a shortcut that launches Project A. Make shortcuts for projects B and C. Use their command line arguments in `system.util.execute`.
