Hi

Pro-IV Ver 5.5, Win2003, ORACLE 9i

I am considering overwriting the value in @TERM (with a unique value).

see this link, where changing @TERM is refered to

http://www.proivrc.c...c=3162&hl=@TERM
"We are running on 2 Windows pro-iv servers and one SQL database server for a number of years without any problems.

The only thing you have to consider is that @TERM will hold a unique value per pro-iv server, but the two servers might give you the same @TERM value. To overcome this problem, our logon screen adds a 1 or a 2 (depending on if started up from server 1 or server 2) to @TERM, to make it unique again. We use a lot of workfiles keyed on @TERM. "

what are your experiences of changing the value in @TERM, does it cause any problems

Hello George,

the only thing I have found is that the pro-iv service manager will still show the original value of @TERM in the Thread column. If you want to be able to identify a pro-iv user in the service manager, you can either do that by operator code, or, if you allow multiple logons, keep the original value in @TERM, and post or prefix it whith a code to make it unique

regards,

Wim
