    Unix Host Authentication of Userids in Ellipse

    Mimsaholic, thanks for your idea. It has plenty of merit. We have an issue where we have a manual workforce who use mims, but do not have windows userids. They tend to share a workstation with the workgroups admin staff. Utilising LDAP security in these cases would cause too many dramas with...

    Invoice status is 40 but not in cheque run

    Hi, Check other details about the invoice. Does it total a positive value? If not negative cheques are not able to be created. In this case the MSB289 will set the status to paid, but the cost account will be reduced by this amount. This is the only obvious thought I have on this. Paul.

    PRESENT Subtask in Batch Table

    GBell The problems I am having are with tasks that are in the Update and Online streams. I am having problems finding the code that should manage the error handling. Maybe it is an environment specific problem. Any ideas anyone?

    Unix Level Security

    Does anyone out there use Unix level access security with the newer MIMS UI's (e.g. MIMSMui). The issue we are seeing is how can a user change passwords via the UI when the Unix password is due for expiry. One thought was to return to MIMS security for user administration, but management /...

    Use of RDL as reporting tool

    oz1 One program in recent time thet we changed (MSR600 - Used to take hours to run but now runs in minutes) had the changes passed back to Mincom and they made the changes to the standard program as well. This is not the norm though. There are others that are able to provide the requierd...

    Use of RDL as reporting tool

    RDL like any other database access tool will cause problems if the way in which they are written cause the program to scan entire tables looking for results. The problem is intensified when the tables have a large number of rows increasing the number of IO's on the database. Typical OLTP...

    Any Experience with Multiple Time Zones
