Is it possible to translate a table variant independent from its parent table?

The extended property ApplicationIcon doesn't seem to work for applications that are run straight from SF database. I set this property in SF under runtime configuration. I also set Animations (no) there which works. Is this a known issue?

Meta question. How do I add tags to my questions/ideas? Or why am I not able to add tags to my questions/ideas?

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#)

Is it possible to skip validation in IAM by default when synchronizing a model? We still have to solve several validation messages from older development which we simply didn't have the time for yet. Also since we do validation checks in SF of current development we don't really need it in IAM as well.

To be precise, I have other application which generates a script. This script I would like the Software Factory to run during the 'Execute source code' step of another application. How can I make this work? My idea is that the Software Factory reads from a certain file path, looking for the SQL file and then attaching it to the 'Execute source code' step, but if there's another/better way I would love to hear it. (It is not an option to generate the code inside the application where I would like the script to be run on)

In a project I work on, we would like to generate scripts for them and create a database named differently than we have. For example: our application/database is called 'Original', now I would like to generate all scripts but change the to-be-created database name to 'Customer' without having to edit the scripts or open them in the SQL Server Management Studio and run them myself. (One-click deployment) Connecting to the database 'Customer', which does not exists yet, will ensure the checkboxes (in the 'Execute source code' step) are checked accordingly. The 'DB' and the 'Create' scripts are checked and the generated script will run on the given database. But sadly the first script does not contain the 'Customer' database name, but the 'Original' name. So an error will occur since it tries to create a database that already exists, or even worse, make a database which will not be used. Where can I change this? I noticed that the Runtime configuration does affect the generati

The knowledge base states that it's possible to put a prefilter on a table variant. I have a base table without any prefilters. I've then created a table variant but I don't have a task in SF to actually enable the prefilter config tab. The only tabs I can create are sort, filter and search. Then how are prefilters added to table variants?

Hello Community, I want to show the exact time of a new added record. I use the datatype datetime for the record i want to show. In SQL Manager it does show the hour/min/seconds, but in my application it doesn't. See below for reference. How do I show the hour and min from a datetime in my application?

Hello Community, How do I change the size and the font style in a grid? I am trying to build a dashboard and I want the size and the color of the records to be bigger and have more colour. See below for reference. Kind regards, Thijs Holterman

Hi, In my applications that I've build so far in my training, i've struggle finding a way to change the format of dates shown in my pages. At the moment it's like this: mm/dd/yyyy But what I want is this: dd-mm-yyyy What is the proper way to achieve this?

Free tool supporting many styles of code, integrated in SSMS. Users can create and share formatting profiles. Anybody has experience with leveraging this for uniform SQL coding style and thus easy cooperation between different developers?

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?

Could someone explain this error message: Something went wrong while processing this report: Ongeldige index. (Uitzondering van HRESULT: 0x8002000B (DISP_E_BADINDEX)) Or, is there an overview of all known error messages?

When a template code conflict occurs during a merge session it will be possible the merge the code via an external 'merge' program. TSF requests the existence of a 'merge' program like WinMerge or Kdiff3. I'm not really a fan of either. We always use UltraCompare as a 'merge' program. Is it possible to use UltraCompare as the default 'merge' program? And how do I set this up? I found a page on ultraedit.com which may be of use: https://www.ultraedit.com/support/tutorials-power-tips/ultracompare/version-control-comparison.html

We would like to upgrade our Thinkwise suite from version 2017.1 to the latest 2018.3. I've got all the upgrade files ready. Our database names are of the following structure: -APPLICATION_SF_ONT (SF database) -APPLICATION_IAM_ONT (SF end product) -APPLICATION_IAM_PROD (IAM and end product in production) -COMPANY_DATA (company data model for live end product) After ignoring the files for older suites there are 3 large upgrade scripts to be applied to the SF_ONT database. I've tested these on a copy of that database and all upgrades run without issues. After that the process becomes unclear for me however. [QUESTION 1] Do I also apply the files 030_checks.sql, 040_constraints etc to the SF_ONT database? If not, what do I do with these files? [QUESTION 2] After completing the upgrade on a copy of the SF_ONT database (for testing purposes) I would like to run the new SF version off of it. How do I switch to a different SF database so I can actually test if it's running fi

We have a Reporting Service installed and configured to look at multiple instances/databases (development and test). All records in table rapport_queue are processed for the first connection. When a record is added in the second application, it is not processed by the Reporting Service. After a restart of the service, all records with report_status = 0 are processed correctly. New records will not be processed after a restart. We have uninstalled the Reporting service (3.00) and installed the latest version (3.20) with no different result. What could be the problem? Config: connectionString=" Data Source=CFS-TWDB01\THINKWISE; Initial Catalog=CF_FINAS; Integrated Security=true; User Id=; Password=; Persist Security Info=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> connectionString=" Data Source=CFS-TWDB01\TEST; Initial Catalog=CF_FINAS;

Symptom: not able to select rows in the Grid of the Web GUI, while the Windows GUI Grid allows it. Cause: In the SF the "Allow navigation" rights checkbox is disabled for the subject. Explanation: The Web GUI disables navigation between rows overall based on "Allow Navigator". The Windows GUI only uses this setting to disable navigation buttons of form and ribbon. There is an extended property available for the Windows GUI to copy the behaviour of the Web GUI: code:useallownavigationasrights = yes Due to technical difficulties the Web GUI doesn't met the Windows behaviour (yet).

Can anyone tell me what control is in use for the embedded browser in the Windows GUI (in the document preview)? I have read that the browser used in winForms is based on IE 4. For one of our features we rely on this browser component, so it would be great to know exactly what we are looking at.

When I change the color and font for form buttons in the theme, this doesn’t affect the task buttons. How can I change to color for the task buttons? Especially for the web version (with grey buttons and white text).

I get the following message when calling a report: The RPC server is unavailable. - Do you recognise this message? - Is this possible because there is no printer installed on our server?

If I change the setting of my application (from Dutch to English) the order of the date changes (to month/day/year from day/month/year). Is it possible to change the language with changing the layout of the date fields? I tried using an extended property called CustomDateMask, which has no effect.

I would like to know more about the possibilities of Extenders. In my opinion I am missing a few Extender Types? The extenders which I now have available to me: Custom_display_format Default_editable_cube Maps Resource_scheduler I seem to have read somewhere that there are Extenders available for grid grouping and multiline headers. Who can tell me more about it?
