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.

    Update Index and Pack Table code

    Hi,

    I have some code that updates all indexs and packs the tables in the database. This runs from the code tab and by selecting run.

    I want to run this from my application using a button. When i cut and pasted the code into an a5w page and ran it from a button on my maintenance page, the script came up in an error.

    500 Internal Server Error
    "Script Error
    Error:a5.table_enum() cannot be used in the Application Server."


    Can anyone advise how i can get this to work from a a5w page?

    Code:
    <%a5
    
    omit_tables = ""
    
    dim table_list as c 
    table_list = a5.table_enum(2)
    
    
    if omit_tables <> "" then 
    	tables_to_update = word_subtract(table_list,omit_tables,crlf())
    else
    	tables_to_update = table_list
    end if 
    
    dim count as n 
    count = w_count(tables_to_update,crlf())
    dim i as n 
    dim tbl as p 
    for i = 1 to count 
    	statusbar.percent(i,count)
    	table_i = word(tables_to_update,i,crlf())
    	tbl = table.open(table_i)
    	tbl.update_production_index()
    	tbl.close()
    next i
    
    'Pack all of the tables in the Database.
    omit_tables = ""
    
    
    dim table_list as c 
    table_list = a5.table_enum(2)
    
    
    
    if omit_tables <> "" then 
    	table_list = word_subtract(table_list,omit_tables,crlf())
    end if 
    
    'check if any tables are in use. the *for_each() funtion loops through each table
    'and returns a crlf delimited string with table_filename|True, or table_filename|False
    in_use = *for_each(x,x+"|"+table.in_use(x),table_list)
    
    tables_in_use = filter_string(in_use,"|True",crlf())
    tables_in_use = stritran(tables_in_use,"|True","")
    
    tables_to_update = filter_string(in_use,"|False",crlf())
    tables_to_update = stritran(tables_to_update,"|False","")
    
    
    
    
    dim count as n 
    count = w_count(tables_to_update,crlf())
    dim i as n 
    dim tbl as p 
    for i = 1 to count 
    	statusbar.percent(i,count)
    	table_i = word(tables_to_update,i,crlf())
    	tbl = table.open(table_i)
    	tbl.pack()
    	tbl.close()
    next i 
    
    	if tables_in_use <> "" then 
    		count = w_count(tables_in_use,crlf())
    		if count =  1 then 
    			msg = "1 table could not be packed because the table was in use." + crlf(2) +\
    			tables_in_use
    		else
    			msg = ""+ count+ " tables could not be packed because the tables were in use." + crlf(2) +\
    			tables_in_use
    		end if 
    		ui_msg_box("Notice",msg,ui_information_symbol)
    	end if
    %>
    Thanks

      Why can't you use the built-in table maintenance module from New > Web Component > Maintenance? If you play with the options, you can make it show just <All Tables> and not list individual tables.

        Kevin,

        I understand that the maintenance component is an AJAX component, so it is actually running on the Application server.

          Steve/Pat,

          Are you saying that is is achievable from a web page?

            See Web Apps Control Panel > New > Web Component > Maintenance. Add that component to an A5W page.
