In proiv 5.5 is there a way that you can trap for deadlocks in sql server ?

In theory I suppose you can suppress errors, but would that then give you a bad write logic?

Hi guys,

I have a Windows 2000 machine where we have had to log the ProIV Service on as a different account due to there being more than one version of Oracle Client installed.

I created an Account called ServiceProIV and made it a member of "administrators".
I set the local policy to state it can logon locally and logon as a service.
This allowed me to set to the local environment for it to use the right Oracle Client.
This all works fine and connects to the environment all succesfully.

I now created a local user account eg BaTClient with a password and made it a member of "Users".

When I try and do a bus and task connection and found that the BaTClient System Username and System Password is being being told it is invalid.

Yet I can log onto the machine succesfully.

If I switch the service account back to use the LocalSystem and try the B&T again it now states it is valid.

So the question is what else is needed to allow the Service to authenticate the userid when the service is logged on as something other than LocalSystem?

Thanks for any help
Sean

Has anybody used SQL Server 2005 with ProIV Version 5.5 on Windows 2003 Server / Windows XP Professional ?

If so have you had any differculties using with ProIV or have you found it worked with no problems ?

VIP Bulk Load - changes widths of ICONs in @FORMs

ProIV : 5.5r411
Mfc : 5.6.5.0
Vip : 5.5922 (005)
Platform: Windows NT Server

We have a function with a format that has an Icon defined with a WIDTH 42.

**** Extract from @DOCFN *****

03 6 : 3
TAG: WEB2
DISP: ALIGN: C TYPE: ICON SUPP.LAB: REP STR: VISITWEB FKEY:
HEIGHT: 1 WIDTH: 42 ICON NAME: PDSCLEAR.GIF VAR: Y
ICON LABEL:$$WEB1 VAR:
TOOL TIP: Some text here to act as the mouse tool tip help line

**** End of Extract *****

**** Logic In used to set the $$WEB1 **********

098 001 * Logic In
002 *
003 $$WEB1 = 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/'
004 WEB2.BACKCOLOR = 'WHITE'
005 WEB2.FORECOLOR = 'BLUE'
006 WEB2.FONTNAME = 'TAHOMA'
007 WEB2.UNDERLINE = 1
008 WEB2.ALIGNMENT = 'MID_CENTER'
009 WEB2.SCALE = 1

**** End of Logic *******

When you load this into VIP via the "Bulk Load" - VIP/Admin/Tools/Bulk Load

The code has now been changed and the new width of the Icon is 1.
Function in VIP (Statics) the $$WEB1 now has a width of 1.
Build it in VIP
Using the native @FORM look at what VIP has transferred back and you will see the width of 1.

This is a major bug as it will change the majority of our Application.

Platform: Windows XP
Mfc : 524

We have one set of BOOTS that runs on many different platforms, Windows NT,
Unix, Windows XP.

Part of our code requires us to run an application on the server where the
kernel lives. The application runs and after it has completed proiv then
reads a file that the application created.

We have used the SYSTEM verb and this works fine on Windows NT or UNIX
platforms.

However when you are a Standalone version using the pro32.exe eg Windows XP
then the system verb displays a console window ( DOS Black Box running CMD
shell ), then execute the application and finally disappears.

We are executing the following line:
"\myapp.exe parameter1 parameter2 parameter3"


I have also tried it with the word "WINDOWS " inserted at the front of the
above example :
"WINDOWS \myapp.exe parameter1 parameter2 parameter3"



Is there a way to execute the SYSTEM verb with out the console window
appearing ?


Otherwise is there a way of detecting when you are standalone ?

Any help will be appreciated.
