Hi everyone,When I try to fetch the application structure using the PAT via Bearer authentication, I get a 403 error GET /indicium/iam/appl/ii/$metadataHowever, the exact same call works perfectly fine when I switch to Basic Authentication (username/password of the service account).Furthermore, I have no issues at all when fetching actual data from tables (like /employee) using the PAT. It seems to fail on the /$metadata endpoint.The service account has Available for Webservices enabled and full Fetch rights in IAM.Does anyone know why the PAT is being rejected specifically on the metadata endpoint while working fine everywhere else?

Hi,I am using Testwise generated controls to create a purchase order. The test works, but filling the form feels quite slow.Example code:const expectedDescription = faker.person.firstName();const purchaseOrderMain = await page.subject.PurchaseOrderMain;await purchaseOrderMain.form1.descriptionField.fill(expectedDescription);await purchaseOrderMain.form1.supplierIDLookup.lookupSelect('Demo supplier');await page.getByTestId('form-field__delivery-date__date__input').fill('01/01/2027');await purchaseOrderMain.form1.heatNoMandatoryCheckbox.check();await purchaseOrderMain.toolbar482460FA.getSaveButton().click();In the latest run, the purchase order was created as Purchase-0019. The form filling and saving part took roughly 35-40 seconds before the next step continued. I also see repeated warnings like:Timeout reached while waiting for response. Proceeding anyway.My question is about the slow interaction while filling the purchase order form.Questions:Is this delay expected when using generat

Hallo, I have a question regarding database schemas in Thinkwise. Is it possible to use tables from a custom database schema (for example, a schema other than dbo) within a Thinkwise application? If yes, are there any considerations or limitations when using a different schema?What is the recommended approach when using tables from a schema other than dbo ?  Thank youJheng

Hi, we noticed that in the universal gui we cannot change the filter behaviour anymore: At the top in the windows gui we can still switch between equals, between, empty etc…The bottom screenshot shows the exact same filter form in the universal gui and we can only use the one filter option selected in subjects.Am  missing something here or is this something we need to get used to?

Hi,While working with Testwise I noticed that the documentation describes generated Task Bar components such as:subject.task1subject.task2However, none of the generated subjects in our project contain these properties.Instead, only components such as toolbars, grids, forms and tabs are generated.Could you explain under which circumstances Task Bar components are generated?Are they only generated for specific Thinkwise screen types, or should they always be available when a screen contains task buttons?If Task Bar components are not generated, what is the recommended way to interact with task buttons?Thank you.

Is it possible to send a WCF web service request in the MSBIN1 format using the Thinkwise Platform?I have tested a standard Web Connection, but it is unclear whether the MSBIN1 format is supported. Could you please clarify if there is a way to send requests to a WCF service that requires MSBIN1-encoded messages?

When running the smoke test, I notice that durations above 10,000 ms end with: 'The command did not complete - the command timed out'.This is always an encouragement to critically review your code, but is there perhaps a way to adjust this time? Kind regards

When I use the download Icon task in TSF, the file is not saved in the Downloads folderWhat am I doing wrong?

Hi, I have a process flow that is started by a table task. The second step is another 'Start table task’. This task has several parameters (read-only, set by default proc), and yes/no buttons. This works fine in Win gui, but in Uni this flow stops in endless loop, since this table task parms/button doesn't popup. Is this expected behavior? We have quite a lot PF with table tasks in the middle of the flow.. and now moving to uni gui it's causing problems. Let me knowThanks, Blommetje  Second table task - in win gui - with parms/buttons. The process flow causing a lot of trouble.I could show a screenshot of an endless spinner in UNI gui, but I don't it will add any value.   

Hello,We are experiencing an issue with the following process flow, see attachment. As you can see, it is a very large process flow, but in general it does return the correct results and performs the expected actions.However, when I quickly click through the process, open and close the task, etc., basically when I interact with it a bit faster, it starts to behave unexpectedly. For example, an intermediate screen sometimes no longer opens. In addition, cancelling also takes quite a long time, around 10 seconds.Could this behavior be caused by the process flow being too large, for example because the flow has not fully completed yet before a new start is triggered? Or is there likely something else going on?Our preference would be not to split up the process flow, as this would require a lot of work and would also introduce additional risks. Therefore, we would first like to understand whether there is another way to make this process more stable.

The Edit in Grid mode, as we knew it from previous versions, no longer seems to be available. Is there any plan to bring this functionality back?We would very much like to see it return, allowing end users to enable Edit in Grid for specific datasets. The ability to navigate from record to record and modify field values directly within the grid, without having to repeatedly click Save and Edit for each change, was very powerful.This functionality is also missed in the Software Factory, where it provided a much more efficient editing experience.Could you share whether this feature is on the roadmap?

How do you set up a process flow as an API where a request_body and response_body can be realized?At the moment, I have managed to do this by using Deep Link with the request_body parameter,but then it is not possible to return a response_body.

At the customer we are facing the following issue:We have a table with a primary key (PK), and this field is of course mandatory.This column is not an identity column, and currently it cannot be made one because we need to remain compatible with the existing system (RPG/iSeries DB2).Because the field is mandatory, we populate the PK with a number via the DEFAULT, so that it can be sent to the database already filled in. However, it is possible that a second user generates the same number in the DEFAULT, since it is simply calculated as max number + 1.Duplicate numbers are not allowed, so in the TRIGGER the number is recalculated to ensure it is unique regardless. This uses the same logic as in the DEFAULT.As a result, when saving, you may receive a different number than what you initially entered. The GUI is then unable to find the inserted row and shows an error message.How can we solve this without using an identity column?There is a risk that, for example when adding a sales order,

Hi,I’m in the process of testing our Windows GUI apps in the Universal GUI and I noticed that messages seem to display differently: The text is done thru the translation: How can I fix this?

Hi, Within DEV express I have built a document that generates an Excel file with multiple tabs. The DEV express report looks like this:The problem I am running into is that in no way I am able to change the names of the tabs in the Excel file. The name is stays OHW overzicht(number) for each tab. I have changed the SheetName and Name of the subreport but the name doesn't change.I have tried adding a script to the Report, but that doesn't work either. My gut says that in some way the tab names are blocked or written over. How do I change the tabs names to the names that I need? Kind regards,Mark

Hi,We are currently transitioning a client from the Windows GUI to the Universal GUI.In the existing situation, reports are generated via tsfreportmailer (gui_code), which is not supported in the Universal GUI. During the transition phase, both GUIs are active, so we need to support both approaches.At the moment, we are experimenting with a process flow that calls Indicium for report generation.What we would like to achieve is a where we can decide, based on the client type, whether to:execute the exesting Windows-specific reporting task, or execute a Universal/Indicium-based reporting taskSo effectively, detect the active GUI..For testing, we tried select app_name(); This returns:Thinkwise Software Factory in the Windows GUI Indicium in the Universal GUIThis seems to work, but it feels a bit implicit.Questions:Is using app_name() the recommended way to distinguish between Windows and Universal GUI? Is there a more robust or supported method (e.g. via session_context or another mechani

Hello everyone,I run into an issue regarding roles and rights. We have a few key roles that need to be restricted a little more, so I set the details of a certain table as the following: And this is how it is in the IAM on the user group in question after a sync to IAM:The rights are fully open, while I set it quite differently in the SF part. Now a user gets to see tables they shouldn't see. Is there something I am overlooking or is there something wrong?
