    Mincom connector list of objects & classes

    There is a "523bod.chm" file which is the compiled HTML Help descriptive doco file (comes somewhere on the Infopack CD which Mincom distribute with Ellipse) Other ways to find this info: Run Ellipse program msqmom.exe - gives a look at the repository for classes and methods, etc Query the...

    SQL Server using linked Server to Ellipse DB - Get WO Extended Text

    Work Order Description has one line on the Work Order Master record select wo_desc from msf620 where dstrct_code = '0001' and work_order = '00000002' And extended description (zero or many lines) on Standard Text records select * from msf096_std_volat where std_text_code = 'WO' and std_key...

    Interactive Form with Ellipse Data

    Wondering if anyone out there has a clever solution to Interactive Forms (where users can fill out some info, choose other info from Ellipse, have some data defaulted based on their Ellipse user credentials, etc). Maybe something Microsoft Word-based using Connector? Or maybe something HTML? A...

    INPUTS, OUTPUTS METHODS CLASSES

    Should be able to run msqmom.exe (mom = mincom object model) which shows what's in the Ellipse repository. There should also be some (out-of-date) documentation on one of the distribution CDs with a file 523bod.chm (bod = business object documentation. I'm guessing 523 because it was create for...

    Create Issue Requisition using Mincom Connector

    I have just tried a similar process - creating issue req items - using the Mincom Ellipse Web Services. Both the web services and the connector calls end up calling the MSK140 program on the back-end, so I'm guessing the steps will be the same: 1.ValidateItem Method, 2.Create Method...

    VB Scripting in ellipse 6.3.2 in windows

    Try this ... (as suggested by fpsysadm above) Following installation into the Winview bin directory the EllipseScriptEngine.dll file requires COM registration. Run the following command: regsvr32 {Winview Bin Directory}\EllipseScriptEngine.dll Where {Winview bin birectory} refers to the full...

    Reading Results from DDQ form

    It's really worth trying to get your hands on the Mincom Connector doco and some code examples. Officially they need to come from Mincom. Someone at your organisation may already have the doco. Things you can do without doco: 1. Run msqmom.exe. This lives in the "bin" folder where the other...

    Reading Results from DDQ form

    I haven't ever tried to run a "Q" (I'm assuming a DDQ541 is your version of a Mincom MSQ541) application by code and to get information from it - sounds like an innovative idea. An alternative may be to call the Mincom Object "behind" the DDQ541 application. Mincom have a product called Mincom...

    Scroll Grid in MSO Connector

    To look at a field on a particular line, you reference that field, eg. ACTION1I1 or ACTION1I2 or ACTION1I3 or ACTION1I4 or ACTION1I5 To scroll (a screenful at a time), you would send a Command. To scroll down it would be something like oMimsx.Screen.MSO.Commands("Next").Execute or the...

    Edit Standard Text using Connector

    I managed to get it working. I was trying to use text to store date-related entries with most recent first. So I did ... STDTEXT.GetHeading (to see if any already existed) STDTEXT.GetText (to read all existing text and temporaily hold it) STDTEXT.SetText (to load new lines, and reload...

    Audit Trail

    Requisitions (if they need approving) are sent to the ellipse program MSO877. An audit trail (using the ellipse diary entries) is already maintained by the ellipse product - so you should be able to access that/report on that without any extra set-up. Checkout the Mincom doco for MSO877 and the...

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

    I've seen various sites achieve this with a bit of customisation to the Mincom product. Requires a user exit in the .cbl program. Inserted into the .cbl program which is running when the receipt is being made. Calls the Mincom EXEC macro to send an email.

    F9 Key via Connector?

    I try this bit of (VB) code to see what the name of the command. strFK = "" For iFK = 1 To oMimsx.Screen.MSO.Commands.Count strFK = strFK & CStr(iFK) & " " & _ oMimsx.Screen.MSO.Commands(iFK).Name & "; " Next iFK Debug.Print "Commands/Function Keys available...

    MSQ Programs Security

    Run msq020.exe ellipse application. It allows you to maintain access for other MSQ applications, and/or access by Ellipse Class.

    WorkOrder.Detail Method

    Surely it's just a glorified copy-and-paste? Do a REFCODES.Fetch using first work order (to "copy" the existing values), then do a REFCODES.Modify using second work order (to "paste" those as new values). The ref codes value does relate to just a single work order because that work order is...

    WorkOrder.Detail Method

    I agree with Calator's suggestion. I would use REFCODES.Modify. The Work Order Reference code entity is a Mincom standard (Mincom-defined rather than User-defined) reference code. Run some queries over the reference code file to find the reference codes for your work orders to see how the data...

    API Access to Ellipse

    There is a product which Mincom call "Mincom-Connector" which exposes various properties, methods and events of Ellipse objects. So, yes, using Mincom-Connector and some programming tools you could load up all the components which comprise a Chart of Accounts. Typically, I've used it to load...

    How do you maintain Reference Code Defaults on MSQ620?

    But to answer the question! ... I think the "defaults" for the work order reference codes are coming from the standard job reference codes. eg. Set up standard job reference code values by going to MSO690, then use action code '9' on MSM69CB, and then finish SJ creation. When creating a WO...

    How do you maintain Reference Code Defaults on MSQ620?

    From what I can determine, there are "Mincom defined" and "User defined" reference codes (ie. the entity type) - set up in 'RCEN' table (via MSO010). The associated values have a flag. The "Mincom defined" reference code values can only be modified via modification of the corresponding entity -...

    Producing PDF output using back-end tools only

    Does anyone have any success stories producing PDF output (with the whole tables, images, fonts, colours set of goodies) from the Ellipse batch environment using only the back-end (Unix) tools (ie. without sending off to a windows server)? If so, what tools are you using?
