Questions & Conversations

Hi,I am wandering what the best practice is when upgrading Thinkwise itself in an DTAP setup. At the moment we are using 2024.1.13 in all deployments (on Azure, but different physical locations for P). The goal is to update all environments with the latest stable version and will be done over a limited period of time, but could still take a couple of weeks.When I upgrade the D first, will I still be able to service the older versions with updates? If so, I can go from D to T to A to P.When I am not able to service older version, what would be the approach in that case?

I have been trying to replace one of our HTTP connectors with a web connection in the Software factory, since we will be approaching several endpoints and I want to make them more reusable in my Process Flows. So far whenever I try to use a web connection however I receive status code -23 and I am unsure how to proceed. Below a screenshot of my working HTTP connection: And the current settings of my Web Endpoint: We are using request headers to authenticate ourselves at this endpoint, is it possible I am using the wrong field for our request headers to authenticate in the web connection?

One of our customers wnats to “force” his employees to work in timeframes of 15 minutes.So quick question: Is there a way you can controle the input for times in steps of 00, 15, 30 and 45 minutes?I wasn't able to find this answer on the community, sorry if I didn't search hard enough for it. A redirect would be appriciated in that case :)

Who has experience in communication with a PLC from Thinkwise? In this particular case I need to open a connection to a PLC, send several text strings without opening and closing it with each string, and then finally close the connection. Does Thinkwise have an option for this, or does this have to be performed by the SQL Server? Are there any examples available?

Just a question out of curiosity 😄Why does the Software Factory use both square brackets [] for template parameters and curly braces {} for process variables, instead of standardizing on one type of bracket for both purposes?

I have noticed that with the change of the universal theme color, the contrast of the selected rows also changes. This means, that if I select a lighter shade for my main menu, the selected rows become virtually the same as the unselected rows. Is there a way to change these independently?

Who has experience in communication with sockets from Thinkwise? In this particular case I need to open a socket on a IP-address port number, send several text strings to the socket without opening and closing it with each string, and then finally close the socket. Does Thinkwise have an option for this, or does it have to be performed by the SQL Server? Are there any examples available?

We would like to monitor log sessions for security reasons, the session logs gives some insight but we would like to see the IP-addresses of the logs. Is it possible to see this information in Indicium or somewhere else?

I tried to install the Windows GUI 2025.1.11 that was shipped with the package download 2025.1 but after installing I get above mentioned error. After installing the previous version, 2025.1.10, everything works just fine. I also do not see a Product update entry for the .11 version. Is this released / stable  ?

We are migration multiple large applications to Thinkwise.In the financial applications that the users are used to, amounts of zero are blank/not displayed in the user interface.Is there a simple way of achieving this?(Looking for a very lightweight solution, as we would need to implement this on hundreds of columns...) (We are on Universal GUI)

Does conditional layout already work on formlist? I doesn't seem to be.I this on the backlog? In my case I want to show that an answer has been changed. I have a checkbox marking is_changed and for now based on that checkbox I add a * but this is not really easy to see and might be confusing for people interpreting as mandatory questions.  

At a customer of ours we are using the formlist as a crucial ocmponent. However, the look&feel of the formlist is not really appealing: Will this be changed when the layout of the forms are delivered as well?  

When is planned to drag record onto card list items and cube items? These seem to be limited to the only the context of the screen area and not a specific card or line within the cube.  

When a product is communicating against IAM you can in the Universal GUI choose your display language under User preferences.In the initial developing stages, one is communicating directly against the SF and the option is not available. Is it possible to enable this somehow?Otherwise, what would be an easy solution to be able to switch between multiple languages in this situation?

Hi All, I'm working on a POC for a customer that wants to continue to have insights in their history of an application that they will stop using. The idea is to build vieuws on top of the existing database. there is a table with more than 6 million records, and it doesn't perform. it takes minutes to load a grid of this view. i'd expect the max_no_of_records to limit the amount of results and thus improve perofrmance, but it I doubt it is having any effect. in the dev tool I do not see any form of limiting, aside from the page size, but the amount of items is still 6000.000 where I would expect the limit I set in max_no_of_records. Is there anything wrong in the interpretation of the max_no_of_records. Suggestions on how to improve performance whilst still being able to access all items? 

Hi, I have a system flow that is built to run schadueled and quite often daily. Its origins are from a base model that is added to the work model and is synced in IAM.The base model is implemented on the entire model and on all its branches.The strange thing is that for example on DEV branch i have less data than my own developing branch made from DEV (both on same server but different databases). If I let the system flow to only run on my own branch, everythings seems fine, the data resulted from the process matches the expectations. Yet if I also activate the system flow to run on DEV branch the data gets mixed (my best guess) and it gets deleted (the system flow does some requests in order to get fresh data and then compare it to the one in the database in order to run CRUD operations).I did run a sync to IAM on both DEV and my branch and yet I have the same results. I will keep digging into the problem and let you know if something else pops up.Thanks, Paul

i would like to make a scheduler overview which synchs with muliple google aganda's does Thinkwise have an option for that (simular to the Microsoft Graph)?

We changed a few translations, where the only change was the casing of the translation. The changes were modified 17-3 and after merging the branch to our test branch these translations were not merged into the test branch. The modified date in the test branch is still 11-3 and not updated to 17-3.Is the merging of translations case-insensitive?

Hi all,We want to automate the deployment of our application with PowerShell.Calling ‘add_job_to_generate_definition’ with Postman works fine. However, when calling the API with a Powershell script, I get a 403 Forbidden error.Indicium is hosted on Azure. I use the same credentials as in Postman.Am I missing something?Thanks in advance!Kind regards,Rick

We have a TW application where the user basically works from one central list with transactions (shipments).  Optimally this list should automatically refresh when records were added by a background process. However, it turned out when auto-refresh is enabled, not just this list form (SQL view) is refreshed but all forms on all controls in the entire application. So when the user is at that moment working in edit mode in another form of the same application and choosing a record from a dropdown list, this dropdown list closes automatically due to the refresh on the list form. Or when on another form a tree view is expanded, it will automatically collapse due to this background refresh. Very annoying and counter-productive.Is it possible to do this auto-refresh local on ONE FORM only, and not throughout the whole user session?

Hi, When creating a can set an auto increment for a PK column; However, I still need to write something in the Template to fill this column. It's not generated by the SF(or at least I don't see it). When I set this to for example a row_over value it is unique - but the seed/increment is ignored. When I select a fixed value (1) - the view PK is not unique and an error is thrown. Is this in any other way usable? I don't understand how this should/could work. Thanks, Blommetje

Hello,I have a question about the calendar when I have a domain configured as DATETIME2 with the following settings:Datetime2 domain config  When the user is registered in IAM with language=English & Timezone=Etc/UTC, the first day of the week is sunday:language=English & Timezone=Etc/UTC When I change the language to Dutch in IAM for that specific user, the first day of the week changes to monday:language=Dutch & Timezone=Etc/UTC Now I have colleagues from the UK asking me to switch the calendar formatting such that they also have monday as the first day of the week, but this does not seem to be possible?When I google the formatting in the UK, I find that people from the UK often use Monday as the first day in the week in business settings. I am using GUI: 2024.3.13.0.0Is it possible to change the first day of the week?

I am working on a PowerShell script to automate the installation of our TW application, which is and will be running at dozens of customers.I encountered the following problem:When installing/updating the IAM database and there's nothing to do, twdeployer just returns a warning (OK) - although it seems that a hotfix is always applied even when applied before.When installing/updating the APP database and there's nothing to do, twdeployer returns errorlevel1. For this reason I now have to disable error catching for this step in our PowerShell script.Output of the same steps in a test batch file:Is there a way to not get errorlevel 1 when everything is just OK and nothing needs to be updated in the database?    

Hi all,I want to create a deployment package and write it to the azure file storage. I have done this multiple times. However, now the procedure raises an error:Access to the path 'D:\Thinkwise\Applications\RIE_MANAGER\rie_tst_support_14032025\Deploy\Install' is denied.I'm not sure why this happened. Can it be caused by the platform upgrade (2025.1)? This is the first time creating a deployment package since the upgrade.Kind regards,Rick

I am trying to get the IAM language description updated, but I cannot figure out how. Some descriptions are not user friendly yet, so I have corrected them in the SF. SF Application languageI have synced one of our applications with the product IAM, assuming that this would control the languages available there, but when opening the menu there, I see the old result still. ex: bs-BA IAM languagesThe situation is based on 2025.1.
