Programming / Query buttons not hiding as directed
« on: June 11, 2019, 09:07:07 AM »
We recently installed Pxp 15.10 on Linux at a clients and noticed an odd thing. A panel that had functioned fine under 14.10 now leaves query buttons enabled on a panel despite the control being hidden and disabled. The query buttons are not embedded. Anyone see this before? The WindX and Pxp are both 15.10.

Most of our clients are using Linux as the server with Windows workstations. We will try your suggestions and see what works best, thanks.

Language / Using RTF mulitines and printing to pdf
« on: January 29, 2019, 08:45:35 AM »
We want to start using multiline RTF more in our documents but most of our internal documents are created are pdfs (used as attachments for emailing and storage). Is there a method someone is using that might help us? I would like to have the pdf print recognize the RTF controls for fonts, colors, underlines, etc.

Programming / Re: Backups and corrupted files

Hi Mike,
You are correct in your assumption the 26GB file contains both current and historical data. We are discussing the idea of archiving records with the client in an effort to make these files smaller. For us, access to these archived files is the challenge. It means coding changes to support another file set. I did read your line about having PxPlus auto-split large files. Not sure how that might work since it sounds like it's based on file size rather than date dependent. Our files are primarily accounting in nature so some control over the file split would likely be important.

The files detected as corrupt range in size from <1MB in size to in excess of 26GB. In the limited testing done with client backup media they have been consistently corrupt. I have not tried CREATE_FILE but will investigate. The client is on version PxPlus 12.5 but we can look into upgrading them to PxPlus 2016 if this offers a solution.

Programming / Backups and corrupted files
« on: November 21, 2018, 03:08:43 PM »
I have a client who is having problems with their system backup, specifically recoveries. The problem is when we attempt to recover our ProvideX Plus data files from the backup, selected data files restore as corrupted. These are files I am sure are active at time of backup. The client is unable to schedule a time in the day or night when they can get everyone off the server to do a clean backup. Theirs is a 24 hours operation. As a result, files are likely being modified during the backup process, and I suspect, corrupting the files. Has anyone experienced this and if so, come up with a way to address the problem? Their server is a CentOS Linux server and PvxPlus is 12.5.
