Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Application Server Alert

    Has anyone else use the new Application Server Alert? You can find information about it in the release notes searching by that term. I've been building a matrix showing when it works and when it doesn't work and how it behaves. I will make a full report when I'm done but I was curious if anyone else has tried this utility.

    Re: Application Server Alert

    Steve, I have it turned on in 3 of my WAS instances and have set different level values to see what it does. Initially, I got an alert for Level 1 Emergency when I restarted the WAS to live test the alert feature. Notification for the WAS has stopped worked one time, but never has since

    Of the 3 WAS instances
    WAS #1 - alert value is set to 1 and never reports anything
    WAS #2 - alert value is set to 2 and never reports anything
    WAS #3 - alert value is set to 3 - the only thing the alert reports is the license has expired. Expired license warnings are supposed to be reported for settings 1 & 2, not 3. Also, this alert comes out 2 or 3 times a day even though the WAS is running fine and the WAS configuration screen shows the license is active

    I've experienced the same behavior on all 3 releases since this feature was 1st released (currently on build 4491-4932

    Also, it would be valuable if the notifications included the name of the specific WAS that is related to the alert. I have a different email account assigned to each WAS which is the only way I know which one initiated the alert

    This is a valuable feature and looking forward to having it work - thank you for collecting info/feedback for the Alpha folks

      Re: Application Server Alert

      Thanks Dave, that pretty much jives with my testing, including not knowing which Instance the alert is referring to. I am about to do my final test by maxing out the CPU. I cannot issue this feature to my customer (the one asking me about it) if it incorrectly kicks out 'invalid license' messages. They would be all over me for that.

      I have a new 'technical blog' coming on line at iadn.com. When I get my stats in order for this feature, I will publish there. (This is different than the regular blog and geared only towards developers.)

        Re: Application Server Alert

        This probably won't help in this situation, but I wanted to mention that if the WAS instances are installed into different folders then in xBasic you can use something like this and calculate the instance number based on the folder it was loaded from:

        Code:
        dim svrPath as C = ""
if variable_exists("Request.ApplicationRoot")
	svrPath = Request.ApplicationRoot
end if
        In the a5w page that I "include" as a footer on the app, I have code like above that extracts the server instance number from the path and displays it in a span element.
