Steve, How do you know your going to meet the needs of the reports if you don't know what the reports need to look like. Where do you get reqirements? Isn't it from report specs? Often its just verifying that the required report layout is simple enough and that there are no complications that...

I like to know what I need to achieve before I start coding/designing. Therefore, I'd design the report layouts first. This way I can design the universe with the required layout in mind.

Try using "netstat -a" to determine what is using port 135. Then kill it or perhaps give DCE a different port.

We are using Oracle 10g for Ellipse 6.1.

Mincom have fixed their External Authentication 8 character limitation on both userid and password lengths. ECP 3.4 fixes this issue. We are now successfully using host authentication against MSAD. It was easy to setup once Mincom provided their undocumented instructions.

Interesting thread. We are in the process of upgrading from MIMS4.3 to Ellipse 6.1 and have attempted to configure external authentication via CICS/ECP. The first thing we noticed was that CICS truncates the userid and password to 8 characters. Mincom have confirmed that it is a current...

I went back to Apache 1.?.? (the current stable version) and it works! So... on my Toshiba Laptop with WinXPHome I've got Apache, PHP and mySQL all working great. I'd still like to get Apache 2 working though.

I'm having the exact same problem that you described above. How did you fix it??

Do you update it in more than one way? ie: Using controls on the form; or using recordset clones. I've experienced this when I allow users to make changes to data on a form and then they press a button on a toolbar which then does work with those records. Always do something like the following...

Sounds like you need to have an extra field on your table called something like "intOrder". Populate this field yourself and then sort by it. If you populate it with increments of at least 2 you then have room to insert another record. If there is potential to insert more than record...

Hi Nicola, You can put "=MySubName()" directly against the onClick event (instead of "[Event Procedure]") provided MySubName is actually a Function and not a Subroutine. So, in your global module use "Public Function MySubName()" instead of "Public Sub...

I've implemented solutions that drive MSO screens (MSO400, MSO310 etc) from Perl via tp_tserv. It's robust and execution is very quick. Just recently, I also upgraded these solutions for Ellipse which (in this customers case) uses CICS. Minimal programming changes to upgrade the actual script -...

Steve, The original version of this is actually mine. Dallas has added the examples and the Purpose. Since I sent it to Dallas I've found and fixed a bug. Let me know if you want the fixed version. Regards, Mark.

Hi Steve, I've had the same problem but the field was actually getting updated (Account Profile on MSO685). We are now using Ellipse and the problem has been fixed. There is also a "Protected" property that can be used. Try getting the latest version of the Middleware (mimsx.dll)...

Hi Jon, It would help if you post the code for option 2. Cheers, Mark.
