Hi all, I need assistance as I’m not sure what I am missing. I’m trying to migrate our Development server to Azure and I’m facing some issues. So what I have done:I have created a VM on Azure. I have an environment topology setup on Azure with its own (resource group, vnet, sqlserver, connection end points, App service etc etc..), VM is part of same topology. I have migrated the IAM and Software Factory DB from On Prem to my Azure SQL server. I have installed on my App service my required GUIs, Universal/WEB. I have installed on the App service and configured Indicium (Universal) and Indicium Basic. I have placed under the Azure VM the Windows GUI and made the correct connection to use indicium to authenticate for the users instead of windows as it was in the On-Premise. I created an IAM user and gave the privileges' of being an IAM admin and SF developer. However my new IAM user can see the IAM app being an admin when opening the Windows GUI and Software factory, but the SF is not acc

Hi,I am getting the following error message when I try to update a record in a view:“View or function 'vw_bestel_leverancier_artikel' is not updatable because the modification affects multiple base tables.”The view is created with a template with a from clause on the table inkoop_advies, with 2 joins to the artikel and leverancier table. Within this view, i want to update a record in a column that refers to inkoop_advies.aantal, which throws the error above. The table inkoop_advies has only a self reference, which might cause this issue.I want to be able to edit in grid and change records in the view that refer to inkoop_advies.aantal. I can create a default that updates the correct row, but that will still trigger this error, but change the value nevertheless.Could an instead of update trigger be the solution? I am not sure how to implement that.Or can this be solved differently? Thanks in advance.    

I have created a branch of a branch. For example I've branched the trunk project “Sandbox” to “Branch 1”. And then I've branched “Branch 1” to “Branch 2”, like the image below:Then I start a merge session: merge branch 1 into the trunk. Then I want to merge branch 2 back into the trunk. However, it's not showing up by default in the merge session:I can only select the recently merged “Branch 1” in “Branch project”, not the “Branch 2”. However, I can select the “Branch 1” as “Trunk project” when I remove some prefilters. Then I can merge Branch 2 into branch 1, and then merge branch 1 into the trunk.Is this intended and safe to do?I would expect I could merge branch 2 directly into the trunk as branch 1 is already merged.Edit: What I actually want to do is update the branch 2 first with the latest trunk, continue developing and then merge it back.Edit 2:I also see in “Project versions” some fields, are they safe to change? 

Is developing an integrated maps component  for the Universal GUI one of the things on the Sprint Backlog? I'm curious how to configurate the Maps component for the Universal GUI, will this work in a similar way to the extender in SF? Before we take out a paid membership for our Geocoder component I'm also curious if there will be a specific third-party for the Universal GUI integration. 

Is the functionality mentioned bellow available in the WebGUI? I could not found how to set this in SF.  

I'm trying to add a kind of information to a task using a label as control. It has to help the user a bit more about the type of file he's allowed to upload.The example above is written in html and there you can use a colspan for the hyperlink part.Is it possible to create a task layout that is close to the example above? The closest I can get is increasing the task parameter label width, but unfortunately cuts off the text (...)  and makes the task to wide.Is there maybe another trick to add a piece of text with a hyperlink in it?

Hi,The button Resize columns on the toolbar does not reset a manual width - why is that?rgds Ricky 

To my knowledge, the SF supports the following geocoders: Google Maps, Open Street Map, MapQuest and HERE WeGo. At the moment we are using the SF Maps extender with Geocoder MapQuest to translate address to coordinates. Geocoder MapQuestThe address is verified and correct, when we search this in Google Maps the correct location is shown. User interface control: Google maps  The address "Savelveld 25, 6039 SB, Stramproy" is displayed in America while this is an address in The Netherlands. Probably the coordinates are being generated incorrectly but how can I get the JSON generated by the extender for the MapQuest API? { "CoordSets": [ [ { "Lon": "-100.445882", "Lat": "39.78373" } ] ] }We have had the same problem in the past with the free version of HERE WeGo. Is this problem also recognized in the other Geocoders?  

Hi all,I have an IAM Db, with my app. We have created all the users and such, all ok. However, the company we deliver to, also wants to have third party users, that can login and see the status of the situation. So super small read only roles. I do not want to get a call from my client, everytime he has a new client that wants access to this view. Can I create an IAM-account for him, with only the option to create a new user, with specified user group etc? I he has access to the full iam; that's just waiting for things to go wrong...

Since a last IAM Sync today our scheduled system flow won't be executed anymore.  Last run was at 2.21: PM (UTC) today but the next run every 3 minutes will be updates, but the task won't be executed.We have both Indicium and Indicium Basic running against this IAM to support both Universal and Windows UI via Indicium.An IIS restart didn't fix the issue, nor a sync of the IAM did fix it.Running IAM 2021.1

In the Web GUI it's possible to use the standard Google Translate (Javascript) function.In the Universal GUI this doesn't seem to work. I'm very curious to know or this is a well-considered choice to ensure the application translations conform to the SF model (human translation) or is this something that has not yet been "integrated"?  Google Translate (Machine translation)  

While reading this conversation I was triggered by a comment from @René W:In an early stage of our product development we've encountered some serious performance degradation by passing to much parameters in default, layout and context logic. Our strategy is to pass only the parameters that are needed.While he referred to the Web GUI, this also got me wondering about performance effects in Universal GUI and we have done some testing with it. So far we haven't been blown away by the difference, nevertheless I am surprised these settings haven't been discussed in our project so far and that I can't find much information about it in the Docs and on the Community.We noticed for example that with the default Subject Column setup (all parameters enabled - see below screenshot), the Layout() procedure is called for every edit in every column. This is most of the time unnecessary for our purpose and therefore unnecessarily utilizing resources. From a perspective of ‘Performance by design’, I ha

Hi, Is it possible to specify a collation for 1 specific column in a table in the model?The default database collation is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASCurrently we have this special column that really wants be case-sensitive and wants to be unique. The latter can be achieved, but we cannot seem to find a way to make this specific column case sensitive towards the database.I also would like to have the user interface to react to it as it was case insensitive in lookups for example. How can I achieve such functionality? An example is milliohm [mΩ] to meg(a)ohm [МΩ] (or mOhm and MOhm) - the column for such unit has to be unique since they actually really mean a load of difference in resistance, but I want them to be found by the user when typing in any case ‘mohm’. rgds Ricky

Hi,I want to display my fields in a formlist like this: I cannot make this working with the ‘Field number of positions further’ option as suggested in this post  This is because i want to have 2 fields on the left and 1 big one on the right.

Hi,We have a product database in which we like to show the picture of said product ((preferably) straight) from the suppliers website/webserver. Sometimes the supplier had a picture available, but for some reason it is no longer available. In that case we would like to show an alternative (local) picture.Is there a way to know when the request for the suppliers picture has failed (i.e. no content, 404 etc…) and we can action that somehow with a follow up and provide another URL? (i.e. http://myindicium.nl/no_image_available.pngrgds Ricky

Hi, We are looking for suggestions to speed up a first time startup of the application, this is after the application has been installed locally.Currently it looks like it has 2 stages, fetching cache items from the server which takes about 1.5 minutes and then I suppose it is doing something magical with that fetched cache which takes about another 1.5 minutes.When it has done that and we restart the application it only takes like 10 to 20 seconds to startup the application.What can we do/have you done to speed up the initial startup to gain performanceAnd what triggers a reload of the locally stored cache?thanks, Ricky   

Hi,We have a product database in which we force a tab to only show the top 1000 records to overcome performance issues.When adding a record that is outside of that top 1000 filter, the record disappears after confirming the transaction without any notion and shows a whole other record compared to what I’ve just added. (in this case we have a detail tab where we add the record and shows the previously chosen record)Find a record (top 1000 filtered):  Go to detailsAnd add a new record (and watch it disappear and show the previous record with out warning): We’d really like to have the freshly added record remain visible.rgds Ricky

Is it possible to remember the selected rows in a grid after executing a task (with a process flow)?We do have some “multi row” tasks, which would really help the user just to remember the selected rows so they can execute the next task on the same selection.

In the webgui the size of the magniefier glass is different (smaller) than the size of other icons like the telephone number. This results in the following situation, where the ‘Datum’  field is displayed a little to the left when using Field no. of positions further = 0 :  In the desktop/windows gui the size is equal, andf therefore there is no prblem when using the Field no. of positions further = 0 value. I can (probably) solve this by increasing the width of the ‘Datum’ label , but it would be nice if the icons were the same size in the webgui, same as in the windows gui.

HI, Just out of curiosity, how long does it take for the user to generate a pdf report?I have the following infra, all in an Azure wab gui  Task → insert data in rpt_queue/rpt_data -→ calls a .rdl file. Saves files on the disk. A homemade service picks the file up, uploads to Azure File Storage, and returns a uri to the file. → The file is nicely displayed in the previewer. All works well, but the time between clicking the Task and actually seeing the File is somewhere around 50s to a minute. Our client thinks this is way too long. I’m not sure if this can be improved, but perhaps I have a delay somewhere. So; What is a reasonable time for generating a file?Thanks!    

DevExpress Designer provided by ThinkWise is missing features. An example is that it is missing Formatting Rules functionality that the DevExpress has.Why is that? Does ThinkWise have to enable the extra functionality on the Designer tool that is related to Software Factory?I currently have version 18.2 of the DevExpress Designer tool from ThinkWise.This is the missing functionality (go to video 01:38 and onwards):  I am not sure but, it might be related to these links: https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/115548/controls-and-libraries/data-grid/appearance-and-conditional-formattinghttps://docs.devexpress.com/XtraReports/DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.XtraReportDesignerExtensions.ShowRibbonDesigner(DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.XtraReport)https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/1830/controls-and-libraries/pivot-grid/design-time-features/pivotgrid-designer/format-rules-page

Hi, Is it possible to make integration with Here for the maps component?https://wego.here.com/We would plot a route on a map between several points, calculated with different tooling where we integrate with.Thanks in advance.Hendrik-Jan van Dalfsen

For our application JP-Bouwmanagement we are using thirth party Scrive for digital signing documents (PDF). We are using a task and the HTTP connector (via Process Flows).When start the task from the Windows GUI, the Scrive API call is executed properly. All the task parameters that are provided to the HTTP connector are fine. But in the web GUI it fails. Since we do not have the “Process Flow Monitor” available in the web GUI, I have no clue why this fails.What can we do to find out what causes the problem?

Hi,I have some drag/drop interaction, but in this task I also change to Status from ‘Not connected’ to ’Connected’. And because of this the prefilter is not ok anymore, and I want to change this. However, I think this only can be done in a processflow (right?) So, before I build this, I want to know, what will happen with a multirow drag/drop and a processflow?I want  start - task (do all dragged rows) - change prefilter - stop Alex

Hi allI have a fully updated Win10Pro + TW installation version 2021.2When I start TSF everything is fine, but when I start a Win GUI, buttons and tabs are missing until click or hover. See screenshots. Reboot doesn't help. Anyone an idea what is wrong? Jasper
