Questions & Conversations

I am working on a Crystal Reports report in the branch of a project. The parameters have not changed, ondly the internal report definition. I would like to push just the new report file to IAM at the customers site for testing. I have put this report in a separate module to be able to generate a deployment package for just this report and its dependencies. The deployment package is created for the branch project, but at the customer site I only have the trunk available. I am not sure either whether the altered report file is included. There is a line of some 6 million hexadecimal characters under ‘exect sync_report’, that could include the report file (it's less than half a megabyte in size). I know I could ask the testers to drop the altered version of the rpt-file in their cache folder, but that can only go wrong in the long (if not short) run. What is the easiest way to offer testers at the clients site an updated version of the report, that does not involve merging the branch and s

I want to add SVG icons to our application in the Universal GUI. When saving and thus creating a SVG icon by myself using Photoshop and Illustrator, the image doesn’t seem to change from black to white when changing to dark mode. Are there specific settings that need to be set for creating a SVG which does change color from black to white?

First time I have need for a deployment after upgrading to 2021.1.During smart generation of the source code, there is a problem with writing Groups to disk. I get the following error-message:The Program objects are written to their usual place (D:\thinkwise\projects\<project-name>\<version>\Source_code\Program_objects.Have already created an issue at tcp.Any ideas that help me continue this deployment are welcome. Want to add at least a new domain and column.

There are multiple connectors that require authentication either bij username-password or apikey. Since these are sensitive data I want these to be encrypted.These values can also change between deployments, as production connections are different than in development.Questions:What are the options to encrypt these data and are the advantages/disadvantages of these methods?What is preferred method with Thinkwise?

We’re using Azure for the webgui and database hosting. If you use the “Current date and time”, it takes the Azure server local time / utc0. Not the client time, which can be in a different time zone.Is it possible to display the client time in the webgui reports instead of the server time? I prefer to solve this in the DevExpress report if possible.There is probably a workaround possible using some database functions and storing the users time zone in the database, but that is not preferred.

Does anyone know a good method for checking case sensitive user input using the control forms? I would like to use Control forms to validate whether a user has entered at least one uppercase and one lowercase character, this is for validating password requirements.  By default SQL is case-insensitive. A common workaround is using: COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS  I have tried to implement this but it does not seem to be working. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there another method available for implementing case sensitive comparisons? My implementation 

Hello, I can;t find the Indicium 2021.1 Versions on the TCP.Both Universal and Basic.Will 2020.2 still work, or do we have to wait?

I found this button, “Convert runtime configuration” (the little exit-icon in the screenshot, left of the trash can), in the 2020.2 SF. What does it do? I fed it an ini-file, as a reply I got “The ini file does not contain a project id.”, which is true.  

In Thinkwise Docs 2021.1 => User Interface => Screen Types → Tab container → it says: " By setting up a tab control for a component tab, ”. My question is: "Where can this be done”

We have multiple applications in 1 IAM. The user is able to switch from 1 application to the other. This is sometimes confusing: the customer cannot see clearly in which application he is working (the applications ar the same, only the data differs). Is it possible to close all tabs that are open when switching to a different application within the same IAM? Or is there another solutions to make it mor clear in which application the customer is working? We are currently using the webgui mostly for this (2020.1, upgrading to 2021.1 in december)

I want to start with SF 2021.1 and see if I can upgrade an existing application.If it works the same way as with version 2020.2, it will be fine.However, what strikes me is that the WinGUI and WebGUI 2021.1.XX is missing in the installation package.Is it coming soon, or can it continue to use the 2020.2 version of the GUI'ss for the time being?

When I log in on the Community, the same credentials are used as I should log on in TCP. The same for the e-Learning environment. This is done using OpenID / Single Sign On. https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/iam/openid.html#docsNavThe documentation is a bit short about this subject. Is it possible, and how should it be configured in IAM?I would like to place our documentation behind a log in page using the same credentials needed for the webgui.

I have run the deployment suite for upgrading to 2021.1. I only had to remove a database role by hand, because that gave an error message. But after that, the deployment suite was run completely without any problems. I run the marked issues from the deployment suite and marked it that we do NOT use Indicium:When I start the shortcut I only see an IAM application, but no SF. I get the following error mesages:“Your license has expired. Please contact your system administrator or Thinkwise.”And after that I get the message:“This environment is not registered. Applications are not available because of this.Please register the environment using the menu item 'Register environment' under 'Settings'.”But when I chose to do so, I get the message:“Environment registration requires Indicium to be active. Verify that Indicium is running correctly on this IAM.”But as said earlier: I (and my customers) don't work with Indicium.Can someone help?

Is there a way to format messages? For instance use different font sizes, using bold or place an indentation or icon?Is there also a way to make process variables editable within a message?

I have a little C# executable to be able to print Brother labels. I use a task (type windows command)  with parameters to execute it. This works fine if I use a fixed object name for the task. But now I want to be able to execute the C# executable based on the environment (DTAP). I tried this using an object name [task_name] filled as parameter in the default procedure.This works if I only fill the path to the C# executable, but the other parameters are ignored (as described in the documentation). If I also add the values of other parameters to the object name parameter [task_name], I get the message ‘The system cannot find specified file’. If I use the same command string in Windows Command, it works as expected. How could I achieve this in the SF?Could the environment automatically be replaced base on an environment variable (%environment%)?               Are there better ways to solve this DTAP issues with external objects? 

I'm having a problem after synchronising a new version of our product to the customer where it looks that new added columns are not known for some users. Some other users don't have that problem.The problem is visible, because the layout procedure gives an error:Stored procedure “lat_product” genereerde een fout bij het afleiden van de parameters InformationNew columnsHowever, this is only happening with some users. When i am logged in, in my computer on the customers side, and when I open that version, I don't have that problem.Are there any directions I can look into?

This is an Archived topic. The solution is available in the Thinkstore inside the Software Factory.GoalSending emails from within your application is a common feature and can be implemented in many ways. However the traceability of sending emails from your application is often difficult. Therefor it is very usefully to gain some insights into which emails have been sent to whom and whether the email has exactly been sent. This topic demonstrates a basic setup for gaining insight into your email traffic. SolutionFirst of you will have to set up some tables. This example will also contain tables used by the Thinkwise Reporting Service. This topic will allow you to email attachments created by the Thinkwise Reporting Service. This topic will not explain how the configure sending emails with a template. If you would to know how to do that, look at this topic: Example email module. Create the following tables (if you do not use the Thinkwise Reporting Service, ignore the reporting_service_r

I have a task with the multirow task execution feature. I noticed the xml variable in the default logic is empty. I really could use it when the user changes an input parameter that applies on all the selected records. Is it intended that this value in the default is empty? 

I configure my startup documents as in the screenshot below.On restart of the SF the result is not as I would expect; the list is deduplicated, and the SF is booted accordingly.  Is there some trick to get the Software Factory to dance to my tune? This occurence is on platform 2020.2, GUI 2020.2.20. 

I am not able to make the drag-drop interaction work on the resource scheduler.I can only drag an item to the green square area and not to the yellow square area. (screenshot 1)When I drag it to the green area, it also doesn't fill the resource_id field and the drop_date field. (screenshot 2) I believe I have filled the settings in the extender also correctly, I believe. (screenshot 3)  screenshot 1screenshot 2 screenshot 3 

Anyone?We use the mobile interface extensively and 1 of the most used options is to use files and images to communicate. We are a bit struggling with this because not all of the JPG’s (image upload fileds) can be opened on mobile. We can see the thumbnail in the GUI but normally if you tick the thumbail the image can be viewed ‘large screen’.  With some jpg’s we see the thumbnail but when opening a white screen is shown. Can it be the file size of this particular image which is ca. 4,5 MB. It’s a picture create on a Canon Ixux. (As I can see in the image properties) If I upload a new image, from the camera of my mobile (Samsung A40) a jpg file is created as well and this file can be viewed when ticking the thumbnail. I see only a difference in file size…. What could be the cause that the view window is empty. (totally whie) 

I’ve deleted a table and when I run the validations again I got the following validations:Deleting for the role is allowed while deleting in the table (variant) is not allowed Adding for the role is allowed while deleting in the table (variant) is not allowed Updating for the role is allowed while deleting in the table (variant) is not allowedThe table is gone but when I examinate one of the validation query's it seems there is still data present in the table role_tab, linked to the table I just removed.I cannot find the deleted table under Access control, so what is the best way to deal with those validation messages? Approving it is probably possible, but there is still data present in role_tab, which for me doesn't look OK.

Pop-up screens (using Universal GUI) show numeric fields straight through the respective labels. This problem occurs when using Chrome and Edge. With mutable fields, the content of the field does become visible when it receives focus (by clicking), but as soon as the focus disappears from the field the number and label shift again. By changing the designation MultiInputLabel to MultiInputLabel-shrink in the HTML code, the problem (for that session) seems to disappear.

In the app we are currently building we have a screen with 7 items. When we only had 6 items, the screen was shown in 1 column. After we have added an extra item (number 7) the screen is divided into 2 columns, while the screen could be made larger to show all items in 1 column. Can we set this up somewhere? We use the Universal GUI. It does not seem to respond to the "No of columns in form" setting NB. In the Windows GUI the (7) items are shown in 1 column

Shouldn't tooltips be visible for items in the Listbar menu?The tooltip is now shown when the mouse moves over the tab of an open table, while I think it is less desirable there.
