It's all closed source. No hooks. Put a request into remedy to write an api for their clients or open the source of their clients. Think you are going to come up completely short-handed writing this on the client side.
On the server side, you could draw some conclusions from the arsql.log and arapi.log files to derive user searches, though these would not be localized to only include ad-hoc qbe/form searches. Would include all types of things, like table field refreshes, etc. Axton Grams On 5/4/06, Susan Palmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
** There must be something that already captures that within Remedy so it can write the info to the username_recent.srh file in the HOME folder on the PC. Someone must know how to piggyback on that and make the same info go to a general server log file. Sorry for being less specific, I don't know exactly how it works.

Our server is running ARServer 6.3 Patch 14. The database is local, and is Oracle 9i.

This would seem to point to the search being stored somewhere, but I am unsure on where that somewhere is. I've checked $USER$_recent.srh locally and on the server, but this does not seem to contain the last search. I've also checked the user preference form, and I see the field for the number of recent searches, but don't see a field for the actual recent searches. > > > > These are my my questions: > > - If it is possible to capture the search a user performed, how can it be done?
