Today I have moved the development databases to a separate machine. After some fiddling with server names and user accounts all is working again. I took the dev databases on the production server offline and both the SF and our end product via SF load as usual. The ini file for SF also contains the new server name. I also changed the database names to reflect the name of our end product. Let's say the databases used to begin with COMPANY_ where they now start with APPLICATION_. This means the IAM database was renamed from COMPANY_IAM_ONT to APPLICATION_IAM_ONT. The ini files for SF and end product via SF contain these new database names. Starting SF works but IAM of the software factory becomes inaccessible. As soon as I try to open IAM it wants to connect to the old COMPANY_ database. Temporarily changing the IAM database back to COMPANY_ on the database server and in the ini file takes care of the issue. What steps do I need to follow to rename the IAM database without losing a

When I logon to the community and I check the box: "keep me signed in" it will keep me signed in for the day / session. But the next day I have te sign in again, is this by design or a bug?

We have a large trade item table with 2.125.590 records. This table is visible in the application and uses a top 1000 limit (configured via the SF). A user is currently allowed to set a sorting order on 8 different columns. When a user applies a sort order on 1 column it takes up to 16 seconds for the application to show the sorted set. And Excel style filtering can't handle it all. Trying to place a filter via the Excel style filtering on a column header takes so long that I have to force close the application via the Windows Task Manager. What's the best practice for handling these performance issues? I could create a index for every possible sort column (8 in total). But what if a user wants to sort on multiple columns at once? Then the created index no longer covers the query.

When I copy columns in the SF it also copies the value of "Identity". I cannot imagine a situation where you want to have two columns with the same name with "identity" = 1 on different tables / views. In what situation would you want this to be possible?

In this case the form should only be a small status line at the bottom of the screen. There is enough space to show the form, but if I resize the form I get the message "Increase the size of the form to view the data".

The columns are read only, but contain invalid values after copying them from another view. Is it an error in the software factory? Can they just be ignored?

It seems that the image control behaves differently for Andriod devices compared to iOS. On Android devices the option 'Take a Photo' is missing and the photo library opens immediately Any idea how can this be solved?

For a new project we are going to access a third party application through its API system and I am getting familiar with the HTTP connector in process flows. As far as I understand process flows are only ever initiated by users and cannot be run automatically because they live entirely inside the application. They are not stored procedures on the database and thus cannot be scheduled within the database server (SQL Server in our case). Do correct me if I'm wrong here. I browsed through the IAM production database quickly but I didn't find the process flows there. Where are they stored and is it possible to run them on SQL Server directly? If not then we might have to build procedures with API calls in sql instead. Is that generally advisable or is using certain middleware perhaps a better approach? One of the reasons we have to be able to automate certain API calls is because they will fill certain tables for local analysis that is not possible or desirable with the remote applic

When I add a tag to a topic, it is ignored. The extra Save button that appears when you use the '+ Modify tags' link lies to the user. it will not save a tag if not first the hidden interface of using 'Enter' is used. The extra Save button is also bugged in another way: it throws away any edits the user has added to the topic body. Not cool. Please fix.

Is it possible to create a different translation for the same word in different subjects? In one subject we would like to translate the word "code" to the dutch word "looncomponent", but in another subject we would like the word "code" to be translated to the dutch word "code"? When we change the translation in one subject, the translation is translated for both subjects. I think both use the same translation object.

I want to set some role rights on a specific table but I keep getting this error: Maximum stored procedure, function, trigger, or view nesting level exceeded (limit 32). What is the cause of this error? Or, where do we exceed a limit?

We are trying to print a batch of documents with the help of the reporting service. The logfile shows : 2019-03-01 08:39:47.5227|ERROR|dev_cf_finas|115|Printer name '\\digiserver\Thinkwise_Facturen' not found in installed printers. Valid values are: Microsoft XPS Document Writer. 2019-03-01 08:39:47.5383|FATAL|dev_cf_finas|115|Something went wrong while processing this report: Printer name '\\digiserver\Thinkwise_Facturen' not found in installed printers. Valid values are: Microsoft XPS Document Writer. We are using shared printers on a specific server. It looks like it can not find these shared printers, only locally installed printers. Is there a way to get access to the shared printers?

Where can I activate the option to log IAM Administrator actions ?

For a project, we would like to be able to create RDBMS users from inside the end product. For context, we are using a configurator inside the end product from where we are able to enter the first employee of a new company. We would like to make that employee be able to log in after we finished the configuration. I know which steps to take if I do it by hand; namely: sync my application to IAM, apply the roles to the database, create an IAM user, connect the user to a role, apply the user rights to the end product database and IAM database. Then the user is able to log in. But now I would like the end product to do this process. I'm able to create an user in IAM and give the user the right user group. Now I'm stuck because I can't apply the user rights to the end product database and IAM database. I noticed these tasks aren't Stored Procedures on the SQL database. So the question is, how can I make this work? I heard that in other projects people have run into these challeng

Where to find Thinkwise IOS app release notes in this communitysite?

I need to perform a delete action in a folder on my server, similar to what is described as the process action 'delete file'. Only for me it won't be executed in a process flow. Is it possible to use the same code (call the same procedure) which the process action 'delete file' is using or do i have to write my own call to the command shell.

Is it possible to send an Outlook Meeting invite through a task? For a certain process I have to invite a list of people, now I just copy and paste the emailadresses from the application and paste them in the invite, but I'd like to automate this step. I know it is possible to send an email, but is a meeting invite possible too?

I a using the ftp connector with succes so far. At this moment I am trying to connect to a sftp host with the following input: URL: sftp://server8.servers.am-impact.nl:2222/ ftp_con_enable_ssl: ftp_ssl_on I am using the ftp_method_nlist to test the connection. Using this results in a -2 statuscode ( Unsuccessful (invalid URL)). When I change the URL to ftp in stead of sftp I receive a -1 statuscode (Unsuccessful (unknown)). The ftp-statuscode is 0, the description is empty. With the same url and credentials I can log in to the sftp host using FileZilla, so there seems to be no problem on that side of the connection. Does anybody know what could be wrong?

Yesterday I did some exercises from the Learning Plan (platform). These exercises need an instructor's grading. Is there someone from Thinkwise who's checking these answers daily/weekly and give you feedback or what's the standard procedure for this?

I am trying to activate indicium + Mobile GUI for one of my customers. The Test/Demo environment and the model of my application works without problems. Unfortunately the final application can not be found. The following error message appears:: https://[url]/api/iam returns SQLSERVER_IAM: 2018.2 https://[url]/api/5 returns Application not found I checked the following components: - Latest versions of Indicium (2018.2.5), SF, IAM (2018.2), Mobile GUI (2018.2.8). - The user has got all rights. - Application alias What else could it be?

Is is possible to show the add row in a grid at the bottom of the list instead of at the top?

At times we will generate several documents with the reporting service which we want to print. For one document this can be done manually after the generating. We will open the report and print the document with our standard printer options. (web GUI) This way the document will be printed from our personal account. What if we want to print 100 generated documents at once? We don't want 100 pop-up's to show. Questions: Can the reporting service handle printing in 'bulk' using the follow me printer? Is there a way we can print reports in 'bulk' directly using a task? (web GUI)

In the process flow modeller it is possible to create parallel processes, now I know that these are handled linearly and depth-first. But what I would like to know is, will it ever (in the near future) be possible to actually execute them in parallel. In my specific case I'm calling multiple web api's, which would benefit from parallel processing (even if the results would be processed on the main thread). Now I know parallel processing is quite complex, and would go far beyond the scope of what the average 'modeler' should know, but for my case parallel processing would have been perfect. As a side note, I have not looked into the possibility of parallel processing in SQL, my question is purely based on my past experience with .NET (C#)
