When running the software factory in the Windows GUI via Indicium basic I get an error message saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object” when going to the result tab of a control procedure. Then when clicking the generate definition tab a message saying "The provider 'Indicium' does not support tooling connections!” pops up.The alternative of course is a classic database connection but that generates quite a bit more traffic and is also slower. This is especially noticeable when connection latency is high due to long distance to the server. So what actually is the status of accessing the software factory via Indicium (basic or universal)?

I am trying to set the Printer tray value of the Start Report action in a proces flow. I am unable to do so. I use a process parameter with datatype nvarchar to fill the “ Papersource name”  property of the report, but it turns up empty every time. Manually I can set 3 different values. What do I need to do to select one of these values through a variable? (FYI: I am able to set the no of copies, printer name, report action etc, it’s just the tray that doesn’t work).  

Hi, After we merge, we deactivate the branch. After a certain time period, we clean up all old branches to prevent an endless list of old branches. In 2023.1 when I want to delete a branch, I get the error it can’t be delete since the branch is still in Merging-table. When I remove the branch from the merging table (branches are behind prefilter ‘Active’) I can remove the branch. Is this the best way of working? It feels like the branch should simply be removed, as it is inactive. Now I need to remove it twice. Any insights on this? Thanks! Alexander

We noticed that when I select the contents of a cell in a grid in Universal and press ctrl+c it copies the entire row. ctrl+c ctrl+v results in:80080    20119    xxxxxx        0    0    2023-03-02T09:21:34.123        VMS        true    VMS    VMS    2023-03-02T09:21:34.123    200    200      And: Copy from context menu and ctrl+v results in:20119 Can we control whether we copy the entire row or only the selected value?When I do the exact same steps in the Windows GUI it works fine (it pastes the value only) 

After the platform upgrade to version 2023.1 I noticed that scheduled system flows in IAM were disabled. Until now I just assumed this was due to the platform upgrade. I re-enabled them and didn't give it a second look. But today reports came in that documents were missing in the end-product. It turned out that the flow schedules were disabled again. I synced to IAM this morning. Does that mean every sync to IAM will disable auto running system flows from now on?

Since a day or so 1 cannot use the ‘Open’ function in Control procedure anymore.Normaly it opens the procedure in sql server management studio, but now i get an error message ‘Het aangevraagde bestand kon niet worden gevonden of is niet toegankelijk’ (The requested file wasn’t found or is inaccessable).Any ideas? For my collegue it is working.SF 2023.1.11.0 is installed on Azure.Where is this file created so i can check my access rights. Thanks

We upgraded to latest Universal version (2023.1.13) and the position of the toolbar is still not as desired. Did we do something wrong? The screen exists out of a main tab container with a grid on the first tab and a form plus detail tab_container on the second tab. See below. Tab 1 Tab 2 

I am trying to make a link from a third party application to my Thnikwise application via Indicium. For this I prefer the use of tasks/stored procedures with output parameters, which works fine. To minimize the amount of requests I like to return detail data in JSON format as output. It works almost as expected, except that Indicium ads escape characters (backslashes). Like this: code:{ "@odata.context":"https://dev-mob.smarttt.nl/sf/stt/$metadata#STT.complex", "row_id": "BBF3801D-2E9C-42FC-9D33-182C326867EB", "item_id": "Jhlkd2awEQLiPSK7B", "child_rows": "[{\"row_id\":\"80E2F8FDD3B3\",\"image_id\":\"1231\"}, {\"row_id\":\"47F6978E83EE\",\"image_id\":\"1232\"}, {\"row_id\":\"2D40689AFEA2\",\"image_id\":\"1234\"}]"} I there any way or trick to get this solved?

For a customer we have the reporting service running in 2 environments: In the first environment it is running correct.In the second environment we get an error: De verbinding kan niet worden geopend. rpt_colli_detail_sticker 15344_12564_{C88AF56C-6C61-421E-9B79-8D26C4D0BF23}.rpt Details:  [Leverancierscode database: 4060 ]We are using the same version of the report definition and drivers.We have checked the config files and authorisation.But we can't find any clue why it is ending in error.  Debug log from the reporting service:   

hi,is it possible to use 1 or more specific tasks when using drag and drop? Like in Windows when you copy files with CTRL+drag and move with SHIFT+drag or create a shortcut with ALT+dragWe want to use this in an inventory list, when dragging items with CTRL gives a popup with parameters to fill, and normal dragging will skip the popup and use defaults. 

Hi all,Does Indicium on Azure support Microsoft's Azure AD B2C? Azure AD B2C can use OAuth2.0 as well as OpenID Connect, which I see in our docs as well.Is there any reason this would not work when running Indicium on Azure?Would this enable self-registration to an IAM, that is, enable the general public to use an app on the TW platform without the administrator of the app creating a user?

Hi all,A partner of ours is working on machine to machine communication and asked how to save credentials in that case. At the moment he works with a separate pool user and a proxy that has the credentials in its configuration, but he hopes to get rid of the pool user and proxy.What are his options? 

I'm trying to test the recently released OAuth login connector support in the Universal GUI. Thanks to the Docs I conclude that I have to update the Extended property oauthredirecturi to switch from http to https.I did this on our TEST environment for the Application in which I am testing this We had the Indicium recycled after the changeIAM Extended propertyAzure AD error@Vincent Doppenberg However, the error still mentions the http uri. Could it be that the Universal GUI does not look at the IAM Extended property override?Another question: previously we always used the /signin-microsoft for this scenario in Insomnia. Why is this changed to oauth-callback and should we register both Reply URLs in the Azure AD App or update to oauth-callback for the OpenID Provider scenario too?

Hi all, (Sorry for the Title, no clue on how to summarize the problem)But some guidance is very welcome !I have a table, with ‘Functions’. E.G, cleaner, driver, crane operator, etc. So, a person has a Function. I also have a table with ‘Tasks’. E.G. ‘Unload ship’, ’Clear deck’, ‘Load container’ . Each Tasks needs a number of Functions. Unloading a ship needs 3 unloaders, 1 cleaner and 1 driver. So, this looks like this in very old software; on the left a column with all the Tasks, and in columns all the Functions. Here the user can specify how many of each Function is needed. Note; Functions can be created by the end-user, so it can be 4 or 182. Same of course for the Tasks.“Replace your outdated software in 12 months with a modern progressive web application”After entering all the values with how many people are needed per Task/Function, this needs to be saved somewhere. Not sure on the where and how of this.How can something like this (no need to be an exact copy, but the usability n

Hi all,With Indicium and Universal running on Azure, all integrations run via API's.CORS prevents some interactions.How to enable interaction via API when not running in development mode? A workaround like an ‘open proxy’ would allow that, but it is not desirable from a security perspective.Are there other options?

DNS resolving for two universals on the same server | Thinkwise Community (thinkwisesoftware.com)As a follow-up to the final solution coming from the topic above (a dedicated indicium for every website), we stumble upon some problems with the DevExpress plugin that seem to have arosen from the new way of deploying Universal-Indicium on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. We tried with a former Indicium version and also there this problem suddenly occurred...The following error is logged in the Indicium log when a report must be created with DevExpress:2023-03-03T07:38:15.7065798+00:00 800001b4-0000-9700-b63f-84710c7967bb [ERR] An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.

We are upgrading to the new SF 2023.1 and i get this error when generating the definition of a branch The column name should be vrs_control_model_vrs_id. All the other upgrade_sql do refer to the correct column name.This piece of code is generated and i cannot edit it. What have i missed or am i doing wrong?Thanks

As we would say in Dutch: “What have we got hanging on our pants now!?”When I pres the “generate code group” button in SF in one of our models I get one of these errors: TSF GUI 2023.1.10.0Any suggestions what is causing this and, more importantly, how do we fix this?

Hi there,we're running into a azure application gateway issue. We have an application where we can trigger a task on a record. In this task we upload an asset. The issue is that we can only upload files that are smaller then 128Kb. Between us and the application in a Azure Application Gateway. This application gateway has a policy that enables inspection of the request body. The MAX REQUEST BODY SIZE is set to 128Kb. The MAX FILE UPLOAD SIZE is set to 100Mb.Is seems that since Universal uses odata to communicate to indicium the file upload is parsed into the request body and thereby is limited to 128Kb in size. The clients IT department forwarded the following documentation that indicates the max request body size limit is 2Mb on the WAF.The other solution they suggested was changing the content-type to multipart/form-data. That way the file upload size limit of 100Mb would be applied. As we're using universal this isn't possible.Any other suggestions because needing to limit the file

In the Universal GUI the breadcrumbs are not expanded if a level below is selected. As shown in the screenshots below, my expectation is that this works the same as in the Windows GUI. 

Can somebody explain why the full path to the Source Folder (pointer) is required in a “Zip File” or “Delete Folder” connector (see image below)?  For these connectors, a storage location is already specified in the Process Action. So, to let this process action work, we’ve to include the storage location in the path. However, this decreases the maintainability. Changing the Storage location in the model, will also require an update of the process flow.I would expect a relative folder to be set in the “Source file or folder” for these actions. Am i missing something?

Is it possible to make use of the MSSQL Row level security functionality in Thinkwise? If so, where can I configure this?https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/security/row-level-security?view=sql-server-ver16

Hey all, this is my process flow: What i am trying to do:When i click on a detail it should bring me to the vw_track_and_trace screen which then opens up a task pop up automatically where the user can fill in the task parametersThis works fine in the desktop/windows GUI but not when i try it in Universal.Is it possible to open a task pop up through a process flow in Universal?

Hi Thinkwise community,We have a situation where a process flow “Activate detail” will not execute when you open a detail screen within a detail screen for the second time. The first time it is fine because you have to navigate to the correct screen. The second time the detail screen is already open, even with a refresh the process flow will not execute. Is this a bug or is there a way we can resolve this?  

Does anyone know how I can change from menu in Universal?I have 2 Universal menu’s but I can only change them by setting the default menu in the SF on the projectversion, I’m connecting via the SF, not IAM. We’re still in development phase?
