  • I think they might be superfluos... We don't even setup handler mappings any more, just make sure CGI-exe is enabled. I know it is in the OI documentation but it was pointed out to me by a wise master a couple of years ago that OECGI3/4 Handler M…
  • One line at a time @DonBakke, and hoping it is not just covering the Vig! In my opinion, most decisions based on the 'here and now' end up costing more in the long run. I think most of that is foreseeable as well....
  • I sympathise. Unfortunately one can't control the legacy Technical Debt they have to pay down :(
  • @BarryStevens, @DonBakke is right. My example above was a copy/paste job where I forgot to put in the WOW6432Node subpath for my OECGI3 entry to identify it as 32-bit. I have corrected that. I didn't know that OECGI3 didn't have a 64-bit counterp…
  • @BarryStevens Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Revsoft should be the x64 OECGI path. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Revsoft should be the x32 OECGI path. That default location becomes a 'fallback' if the system is setup to h…
  • @Vince, I might have an answer... @DonBakke, You and I diagnosed an issue back in mid-2020 (archived-version-srputilities-1-6-1#latest) where it became clear that we had SRP debug code throughout the system once upon a time. It stands to reason t…
  • @BarryStevens Fair enough. I expected as much. That will make our own little implementation of CI/CD (as rudimentary as it is at the moment) a little more difficult but that just means I need to implement better practices to manage it! Log file …
  • @BarryStevens. I had definately been thinking of implementing something like that. I just didnt realise until you noted it that I could make that part of the Deploy. I take it that is a manual attach/edit of every deploy created?
  • @BarryStevens Handy little cheat sheet you have there. I will try your suggestion and report my results back. Cheers!
  • @BarryStevens I know this has been a bit but finally got around to giving this a bit of a test. These are my findings: I originally had this [COPY TABLES] .\APPDATA\DATA/DICT.EMPLOYEE_SIMTRANS/GLOBAL .\APPDATA\DATA/DICT.MATERIAL_SIMTRANS/GLOBAL …
  • @DonBakke. Sorry Don, I was referring to the need to manually uninstall "Revelation Software .NET xxx Components" first. Like I said, I actually do the full uninstall but not because I actually read the instructions for that! I dont mind the ex…
  • @DonBakke I manually Uninstall the full Client (from the old-school Programs & Features Control Panel) before a resintall but thats just because it is my habit for everything. I am pretty sure most of the others at my end here dont do that. A…
  • @KevinFournier @BarryStevens RECEIVER makes sense. That gives me a path to go down. I am guessing this is effectively what the SRP Editor is doing with its Status window? Thank you Gentlemen.
  • @BarryStevens I am ashamed to say I have never actually used the Viewer before! Probably read about it / forgot about it. Handy though. What I am after though is intercepting that output so I can store it in an Array from within the procedure i…
  • @DonBakke, Sorry, I wasnt being clear (I was probably just having the full conversation in my head and not 'on paper'). What I meant to say was "had turned on HTTP logging for debugging purposes". I used the term debugging in a generic sense of t…
  • @DonBakke I have done some testing and your suugesstion will work quite nicely for what I need. Much appreciated!
  • @DonBakke Yes, that would be my assumption too from a logical point of view.
  • @DonBakke That is fantastic! That sounds exactly like what I want. I can live with those caveats. It just means I have to write in a little more logging and error trapping than I inherited. I am guessing these engines have licence implications? …
  • @DonBakke. I have only ever passed HTML/JSON tvia IIS through to the service for the HTTP Framework to process. Looks like I might have to do some reading!
  • @DonBakke So you are suggesting that if I have the OEServer already running as a service (for web API calls) I could use that?
  • @DonBakke It is written as a service so no GUI. It will grab and process something from a external SQL database if entries are there. If not, no worries. If there are errors, they will output to a log file silently.
  • @JaredBratu I wasn't needing to rollback to a older SMB version, I was just querying what version OI was using as a default. I didn't know if there was a specific version need or just whatever the Server/Client was able to handshake on...
  • @AusMarkB @DonBakke, I wrote and posted my reply before I saw your followups! Gives me something to recode over the weekend ;-) You are both Legends!
  • Thanks @BarryStevens. I will give that a try and see how I go.
  • @AusMarkB Well at the moment it is actually 6. I worked around my problem by just replicating the code 6 times. However I wanted to trim the code, make it more maintainable, and future proof it a bit. @DonBakke Unfortunately is is not form based …
  • Hi all, Sorry to flog a dead horse but I am still having issues with Table deploys. Basically some of these tables already exist on sites as they have been manually added over time. I can deploy all the relevant DICTs anywhere as they should be th…
  • @BarryStevens, @DonBakke is right. I couldnt get your code to behave like a hyperlink unless I quoted the URL. The moment I did that it displayed the whole thing, not just the intended display string but it was then a hyperlink! That is basical…
  • @DonBakke. No rest for the wicked they say. You must have been very very bad in a past life!!! ;-)
  • @DonBakke I see what you are saying about TEXTRTF. Same results here. Not quite right. BTW, Aren't you supposed to be enjoying some sunshine right now instead of bluelight?
  • @BarryStevens Well, that IS pointing..
