Web Server - Ask For Help / How Do I Address This Issue With SSL Certificates?
« on: March 03, 2009, 07:35:50 PM »
Slightly off topic and may be better fodder for the newsgroup, but I will give it a shot here...
I have about 65 copies of a NTWS program running at various locations around the country which do not share even similar IP addresses. I have been told that I need to secure them with SSL certificates and encrypt all data to/from those computers.
I have just applied for a URL for the main server. Is there any way with NetTalk that I can bring all these sites under the one URL? If not, what type of certificates (wildcard, subdomain, etc) would I need and how many would it take to secure all these systems?
As you can see, I am a neophyte regarding SSL so any information you would provide would be most helpful.
Thanks!

Web Server - Ask For Help / Redirecting Form "Save" Button URL Based on Insert or Change Action
« on: March 02, 2009, 06:37:51 PM »
I have a form that is used to identify an item. When the form is saved, it moves to another form that allows the user to add descriptors to that item from a predetermined set based on the item identified (kind of a wizard approach). Form to form works great! However, if the user changes the item, I would like to return to the browse where I have the existing descriptors and pictures available for editing.
Is it possible to redirect the form save button on a change request vs an insert request? If so, how?
I don't see any embed points in the code after the GenerateForm routine that allow me to change it after it is defined and before it is used. Of course, I am still on NT 4.30 so this may already have been addressed.
Thanks!

Web Server - Ask For Help / Countdown To Session Timeout Despite Page Refreshes
« on: February 11, 2009, 10:00:08 AM »
This is kind of backward from all the other posts that I have read regarding the inactivity timers...
I have an app that refreshes a page every 60 seconds to update the status that is passed to the server. I have been advised by the government security folks that the site must log the user off after a period of inactivity. Therefore, I need to ignore the page refreshes on the main page, but reset the inactivity timer if any other page is selected.
Is there a simple way to do this? I will start pouring through the code to find the solution, but I expect that the now-knowlegeable brain trust will beat me to an answer.
Thanks!

Web Server - Ask For Help / Multiple File Uploads
« on: January 13, 2009, 08:42:06 PM »
I am working on a project that requires the submission of a large number of photographs. I have implemented the file upload example which works fine for one file at a time. Before I venture into uncharted territory (for me), is it possible to upload multiple files from a single page (say, up to 10) with one form submission? Even better, can you multi-select and upload several with one file search?
Thanks!

The Rest - Ask For Help / Web Services - Obtaining List of Functions and Parameters
« on: July 14, 2008, 08:53:47 AM »
I am just starting to play with a SOAP client and connecting to web services. In some documentation for the web services, I have read that all functions and parameters are made available to IIS when defined. A coworker has stated that using .NET he can obtain a list of all those functions and parameters.
How can obtain a similar list using NetTalk and XFiles? Is it as simple as calling the service without specifying the function that I would like to access?

Web Server - Ask For Help / <div>s and Source Procedures
« on: June 29, 2008, 02:27:52 PM »
Simple question for the net gurus, but it eludes me at the moment...
I generate some inline tables via source procedures when a form us submitted. I would like to either clear the table if a field has changed or regenerate the table with the parameters on the fly. I think I know how to call the source procedure via server code, but how can I clear the output from the first iteration of the table before creating a new one?
Thanks!

The Rest - Ask For Help / NetAutoClose - How can I change server description sent to the client?
« on: May 23, 2008, 07:09:37 AM »
I have a server running three applications each for six clients. Whenever I need to update the software, I have to shut down 18 applications, upgrade the software, then restart the 18 apps.
I have incorporated the NetAutoClose functionality to shut down the apps, but the description in the client list reflects the same description for all (which happens to be the user account that set up the computer which is no help AT ALL). Since all program are running on the local host, the IP address is also identical.
I would like to reflect the description to reflect the client and application so I can selectively shut down the applications. Where can I change the description provided by each of the NetAutoClose servers so I can determine which program I am closing?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Problems Controlling RAM Usage
« on: March 27, 2008, 10:31:27 AM »
I have a procedure that produces a .CSV file of data requested by the user. There is no limitation on the amount of data that may be obtained, so I decided to dump the entire database (approximately 900,000 entries). First these entries are read into a queue and sorted, then presented to the user. So far so good.
I expected the queue to grow rather large, so I fired up Task Manager to see how much RAM was used. The number climbed to 150M before the data was written to the disk (which I find to be a high, but acceptable number). However, after the data is written and the procedure is executed, the RAM does not appear to be released.
I had assumed that the RAM would automatically be freed after the local source procedure ended (it IS a local queue), but apparently not.
I typed the queue, set a reference variable, and tried using NEW and DISPOSE. No difference.
I logged out, thinking that maybe garbage collection would take care of that. No good, either.
On a positive note, I ran the same report a second time and the memory usage only increasd by about 4M, not another 140M as I had expected.
I do have a five hour timeout on the session, so I will test it with a 20 minute session timeout so it will have a chance to clear, but that should only apply to session variables, not queue memory usage.
I have had this problem since day one where it appears that my NetTalk program is using but not releasing RAM. Even when sitting idle, the RAM usage (according to Task Manager) continues to increase. After several days or weeks of this, the RAM usage becomes astronomical. There are no strange data types in the queue that need to be handled individually, just SHORT, LONG, DECIMAL and STRING variables.
What am I doing wrong? Is there an ABC-specific method to free up the RAM? I am, after all, fairly new to ABC and may miss some of its idosyncracies.
Or is this simply that Task Manager is confused? Is there some other software that I can use that will accurately display how much RAM is being consumed by my NetTalk app?
Thanks!

Web Server - Ask For Help / Browser Title on PDF report (IE6)
« on: March 23, 2008, 10:10:14 AM »
I am creating and calling a PDF report in a new browser window. This works great, but the browser header always displays:
http://localhost/ReportInventory?SessionID=59161402 - Microsoft Internet Explorer
How do I put a custom title on this browser window? I realize that when deployed the domain name will appear (as it does when I change the url to http://127.0.0.1), but it would be nice to replace it with a custom title. Can this be overridden?
Thanks!

Web Server - Ask For Help / Memory Form Time Display (V4.29)
« on: February 26, 2008, 01:15:26 PM »
This simple function is eluding me and driving me to distraction...
I have a memory form that am trying to use to enter times for a lookup. To activate the lookup, I simply loop back to the same page and execute The lookup is accomplished via a net source call <!-- AircraftHistoryExportTag -->. I have displayed the data sent to the source routine. Both the Value and SessionValue generated by the form are correct for all fields, including the times as entered. However, when the form reloads, the time displayed is 00:00:00, although the value and sessionvalue passed to the routine after the form is created display the correct time value (long integer).
Submitting the form a second time then resets the time value to 1 to reflect the 00:00:00 time displayed in the form.
I have tried field priming as well as setting the picture ( p_Web.SetPicture('AcHistoryStartTime','@T04') to no avail.
How do I reload the time fields (Time picture '@T04') so the time will display correctly on reloading?
Thanks!
