    MSQ Programs Security

    Your OBMH Table has more than 2000 entries, listing all the Objects and the Methods that apply to them. The Objects (Classes?) are also listed on MSF02L with the MSQ Applications that use them. You will also find the MSQMOM-Mincom Object Model Reader in the Ellipse\WinView\Bin folder: it reads...

    MSQ Screens details & defaults

    For MOST fields: - cursor into the field you want to default - right-click, select customization - select defaults, or learned values This method relies on a Paradox database which lives on the front-end rather than the back-end: it can get corrupted and must be re-applied periodically; it can...

    MST for 2 days task

    Or, create a 2nd task for the 2nd day, and set the Offset to 1 - so it always follows the 1st task by 1 day.

    Notify requestor by e-mail once DPR items have been received

    There are MANY North American clients that implement this function. Most use a custom batch process to get it done. Ellipse Workflow module COULD do it. But,(sigh) the out-of-the-box solution does not include Receipts; only Work Orders, Work Requests, and Leave Requests.

    F9 Key via Connector?

    I can't remember the proper syntax for passing an F9 key via Connector MIMS.Screen.MSO.Commands("Create").Execute MIMS.Screen.MSO.Commends("CREATE").Execute both return an error:"unable to match named index" MIMS.Screen.Fields(FKEYS1I) = "F9" has no effect - regardless of which...

    ScheduledTasks Class, ExcludeWorkOrder Method

    The method is new, the function is not. Functionally, Ellipse will automatically include any Work Orders that were scheduled in a prior period but didn't get completed. This method allows the Planner to "exclude" Work Orders (from his/her backlog) that can't be accomplished during the effected...

    Anybody using KPI Matrix - MSF06A thru MSF06G?

    I've seen these Key Performance Matrix files sitting in the Ellipse database structure for many years. But, I can find no documentation on their intended use; no screens by which to configure or populate the data files; and only 2 batches, that appear to be called from other (unspecified)...

    Webi and Universe question...

    (Using WebI 6.5.1) WebI is a reasonably good "general users" platform; but it LACKS certain report development features available in the "fat-client" version. Specifically, the Slice-n-dice features are not available to WebI report developers; nor is the Ranking ("top") feature. Sorts and...

    VISTA!

    Ivy is correct. I've installed Ellipse 6.1 client on a desktop that runs WinXP x64 and Vista. It behaves itself nicely; and seems to enjoy the extra RAM access. Please note that this is a "fat-client" install and does NOT address any Citrix or Active Directory questions. (For what its worth, I...

    Contract Administration Module

    The Ellipse Contract Administration module, and its "Advanced" module, do not have the capacity to track Contractor hours. Rather, they focus on awarding the contrzact, managing its various clauses, and a whole spectrum of payment options. With 14 years in the MIMS/Ellipse community, I have yet...

    I need to extract Spares Parts from Ellipse

    The APl Items are found in MSF131. If the item has a Stock Code, it's description will in MSF100. That is actually a natural join. In Ellipse, a Stock code can have multiple mfg/part#, which you'll find in MSF110. They can also have muliple vendors, which are in MSF210. The Component...

    MER Universe design

    First, the underlying tables are: MSF600 - Equipment Register; and MSF601 - Equip Reg Alt Reference. From MSF600, you need only 2 fields: "EQUIP-NO" (12-character key) AND "PLANT-NO" (human-readable name). MSF601 holds 5 types of records, you want only 1: "WHERE REC-601-TYPE = 'EA'...

    Ellipse 6 and BO integration

    Still using BO 6.5 for now. Ellipse 6.3 is rumored to be compatible with BOE XI only.

    Asset & Work Management ERD

    Short answer: yes. Mincom typically delivers an "InfoPak" CD. Deep in the technical directory, you will find several hundred gifs that contain ERDs. You shoudl focus on those numbered 3601 through 3620. If you still can't find them, let me know which version of Ellipse you run and I'll see if I...

    MSQ740 MS Project Import

    This problem exists at all sites that run MSQ740-MSProject in a Citrix environment. And, SOX requirements are making it worse. Citrix lacks the ability to "keep alive" a COM connection between 2 hosted apps that are idling. The most promising solution is to create an MSProject macro that...
