After upgrading the webgui to 2021.1.10 (old version 2020.2.17) the following message pops up: I checked with version 2020.2.17 and there it still works fine. We have the Crystal Reports runtime engine SP25 installed. Is this a known issue or does anyone know why this message pops up?
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)
All of you, that have worked with Microsoft Azure, have probably noticed that Azure does not allow you to mutate or select data from a different database than the transaction database. However often you find yourself in a situation where this is necessary. This blog will help you with exactly that. This blog describes 2 features which you can use.Feature 1 External DatasourceMicrosoft SQL has a feature available called “External Datasource”. This feature supports selecting data from an external source, but does not require to connect to this external source. It is kind of like a fake table within your database, which selects data from the defined external source. While using an External Datasource it is possible to select data from another database within Azure. Do keep in mind that it is not (yet) possible to mutate data using an External Datasource. If you would like to mutate data on a different database, you have to use the second option this blog will describe.How to configure an
Has anybody implemented the “11-Proef” for BSN numbers, and is willing to share the code please?Since this is a typical Dutch question:Heeft iemand al eens een 11-proef gebouwd voor burgerservicenummers, of eventueel bankrekeningnummers? (Voor mij was de laatste keer 25-30 jaar geleden in BASIC en COBOL….)https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elfproef
For a new project, I want to be able to use different viewtypes in the resource scheduler (see https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/topic/show?tid=1456&fid=21).I downloaded GUI version 2021.1.10. How can I enable the viewtype bar?
When I continually adding lines white the shortcut crtl + , the follow up steps in the process flow are skipped.What do I wrong ?
For Grid and Form within Subjects you can group columns by checking Next group of the first column and providing a Group label. All columns that follow are also grouped under this Group label, but how do you end a Group?PS I've noticed that a Read-only column will not be grouped under previous labels (even if I want to), but there is not always a Read-only column available for ending a group.
I see there is an option 'Hide Breadcrumb' in 'Screen Types'. It implies that it is possible to disable the breadcrumbs in certain screens, which can make sense in certain scenarios.Now I have tried it but see no difference in the Windows GUI. I would expect that the space reserved for showing the breadcrumbs would be released for the remaining display components. What is the idea of this feature?
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.
When sending emails with TSFReportMailer I sometimes see the following error message: Failed to attach the attachments. Will not send the email.This happens when the attachement(s) do(es) not exist or when there is a special character in the file name. Especially when the character “&” is used in the file name, this results in the above error message. Why? This is a valid character for a file name, right?Can anyone tell me if it is possible to translate this error message?
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
We run the software factory Web GUI on Azure Web App. Recently we scaled the App Service plan to an instance with 8 GB to address high memory usage issues.The Web App platform is still configured as 32 bit.Is there any need or advantage to switch the Web App platform to 64 bit for the Web GUI?
I ran into a problem uploading files with the web GUI (2020.2.20 and earlier as well).To explain the problem let’s say that we want to upload a document with the filename Test.txt (content: This is version 1). The destination of the uploaded file is the file system. The document is also registered in the table bijlage (column: bijlage, domain: bestand_link, control: file link).Uploading the document for the first time is successful. No problems here.But now the user has created an updated version of the file with the filename Test.txt (content: This is version 2). Het decides to delete the previous record from the table bijlage and creates a new record and uploads the updated file Test.txt again.Because the original file was not deleted from the web server, the upload results in a filename with an adjusted filename: Test_1.txt. The strange thing is, that the upload control still shows the original filename Test.txt and shows the wrong content. Of course I could delete the file from th
Does anyone know why some items of the menu don’t show up in the universal GUI? In the settings I selected the windows platform so I expect exact the same menu as in the Windows GUI. And parts of it are exact the same but some items are missing?? This is the WINDOWS GUI menu In the Universal GUI the sybjects Relaties, contactpersonen en concers are missing?
Hi all,I'm using the ReportingService a lot. Based on this article. All is fine and dandy. However, in the .rdl (report builder) files I get some images from a table. The end-user can set a company logo for instance, which appears on the invoice. However, when I generate this report with the reportingservice, the transparancy is not respected. The reports work fine (with transparancy) in Report Builder. Any one any thoughts on this? Or how this can be fixed?Much appreciated,Alex
With the update to the latest version of SF we had an issue with icons missing in the web gui. We fixed this on our own local server by setting, which is needed in the latest SF version. Advice given by Thinkwise:To do this, 'load user profile' must be enabled on the application pool. This ensures that a C: \ Users \ {pool user} \ directory is available, and other things that are not normally created for an application pool identity.It is indeed a recent change, of which I have not yet found the specific documentation. 'load user profile' is already advised to enable, 'Right click on your Application Pool, open the Advanced Settings and make sure that the correct Identity is set. Note that Load User Profile should also be set to True. 'This works fine. HOWEVER, We are not certain IF (and is yes, HOW) this can be set on our Azure deployment. Anyone thoughts on this? We must set this before we deploy. I can’t just trial and error it, since we do not have an up and running Azure deployme
This is what happens in Chrome and Edge Is it an idea to right-align the buttons? Or to have that option?
I always thought that there could be one template to a control procedure, but just saw that it actually is possible to have more than one template to a control procedure.Hope that someone tell me why they use multiple templates within the same control procedure. I'd like to know the advantages of using multiple templates.
Since some versions we have a problem with the Universal GUI after updating. The setting "requestFiltering removeServerHeader = true" in the web.config file causes a 500.19 HTTP error when starting the Universal GUI.If we remove the lines below from web.config, the problem is gone. <security> <requestFiltering removeServerHeader = "true" /> </security> The problem is also present with the most recent update.
After updating to SF 2021.1 I get an error message when I want to print a report.The error message:Kan bestand of assembly CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=13.0.3500.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304 of een van de afhankelijkheden hiervan niet laden. Het systeem kan het opgegeven bestand niet vinden.I have upgraded to CR 2020 and I have uploaded the reports into the SF. The path to the reports on disk is also still effective.What do I wrong? Can anybody help?
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.
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 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?
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”
In an effort to make deployment easier for everyone, we've updated the license mechanism in the Thinkwise Platform. Downloading and importing a license will be a thing of the past as of version 2020.2. As mentioned before, Indicium Universal will be a mandatory component in any environment. Not only to be able to use Universal, Scheduling and AutoML, but also for the automatic license renewal mechanism. Indicium Universal will automatically renew licenses for environments without the need for any user interaction. Furthermore, the innovation fee report in IAM has been removed from the Intelligent Application Manager - the contents of this report will be exchanged when renewing the license. The expression environment will be used a lot in this blog. This expression is used to denote an Intelligent Application Manager with the applications present in this IAM and all runtime components attached, such as Indicium Universal, GUI's, etc. Unregistered environments By default, all envir
