    MIMSX: MIMSNewHandle failed.

    I've seen this error when launching a second mims, or connector session, while a login dialog is still active. ie launch a connector script, but don't log on and then launch another connector script. Earlier versions of middleware required killing the asia32 process to recover but our current...

    MIMS Connector

    MIMS Connector is the MIMSX.DLL in the middleware directory. You can use it from and COM compatible language which is just about anything on a pc. Although MIMSX appears to be part of the 4.3.1.2 client distribution, Mincom charge extra for "connector" licence. Comes down to - if you...

    Script/Mintscript in MIMS 4312 using Tuxedo

    With 4312 you can write MIMS Connector scripts. These are different to Mint in that they don't run from within Mims. Instead you write them using Excel or Project macros or VB applications. You can access Connector in almost all modern PC development environments. You can run Mint scripts in...

    MSQ Scripting

    Actually, we are using corvu quite extensively We are also using MIMS Connector to load and extract data. The reason I am looking at MSQ scripting, is that the MSQ already provides a rich interface. It provides a variety of search methods, popup parameters and is (hopefully) familiar to the...

    Client Prining Problems

    I have seen this problem with Windows 2000. It leaves a blank space where the print dialog was. Short term workaround is to move the print dialog out of the way of the part you want to print. ie move it right to the edge of the screen and press enter. Report it to Mincom. They provided us a...

    Tony, Mincom have provided us with a fix for the diary message performance problem. It is a modification to MSS040. Ask Mincom to provide you with the distribution from workorder GA245 or MN658 Martin.

    I am just about to set up MIMS Explorer on Windows terminal server. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this - can you tell me how you handle updates? Since starting with MIMS Explorer, we've had to Middleware updates, 4 MSQMUI updates and 3 MSQEXP updates. These files are likley to...

    MSQ Scripting

    When doing a search in an MSQ, the results are displayed in a grid. Only the first 20 results are shown and the next 20 are fetched when you try to scroll to row 21. This is quite acceptable behaviour for online use. However, our users have expressed a need to export the result grid to excel...

    Diary message deletion

    Tony, I've emailed you the VBA code as an excel macro. Yesterday, one of our programmers looked at why the diary check was taking so long and he found that the MSS000 was taking so long. He found that the it was retrieving all diary entries just to check if the diary button, or F7 message...

    Diary message deletion

    We have also just found that a large number of diary messages causes problems. Some of our users have > 8000 diary messages. Deleting them individually was not really viable so I wrote some VBA code to batch delete them. It uses MIMSX.DLL which is the business object connector. I suppose you...
