Re: Odd thing - 2 AL's - One runs other doesn't, same Execution options
Found it! One of the AL's had 2 forms defined in the 'Associated Forms' area. Therefore the 2nd form caused that AL to run, and the other AL was never invoked because its 1 form was not opened. -- View this message in context: http://ars-action-request-system.1093659.n2.nabble.com/Odd-thing-2-AL-s-One-runs-other-doesn-t-same-Execution-options-tp7527345p7535550.html Sent from the ARS (Action Request System) mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are
Odd thing - 2 AL's - One runs other doesn't, same Execution options
Hi! This is so odd. I did a flush cache on our server, and I have 2 Active links that BOTH are Enabled, order 220 and order 222, 'Display' and 'Window open'. Regardless of the Run If Qual, they should BOTH show up in my log file! Only the 1st one does. (it fails the qualification - but that doesn't matter - at least the log file shows it runs...) Isn't that strange?? Is it possible that the 2 active links have names that aren't different enough for it to recognise??? The names both are the same except for the '0' in '220'. thanks for any help!! sincerely, baffled -- View this message in context: http://ars-action-request-system.1093659.n2.nabble.com/Odd-thing-2-AL-s-One-runs-other-doesn-t-same-Execution-options-tp7527345.html Sent from the ARS (Action Request System) mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are
Re: Odd thing - 2 AL's - One runs other doesn't, same Execution options
Are permissions the same? Window Open and Display are two different functions. One runs when you open the form. The other runs when you display a record.

Hi! Same permissions on both. same associated form on both. thanks I'm just now changing the names to be more different have to flush cache for that to 'take'. -- View this message in context: http://ars-action-request-system.1093659.n2.nabble.com/Odd-thing-2-AL-s-One-runs-other-doesn-t-same-Execution-options-tp7527345p7527386.html Sent from the ARS (Action Request System) mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are
Re: Odd thing - 2 AL's - One runs other doesn't, same Execution options
It's not because the names are similar. It's because one is Windows Open and one is On Display. These fire under different conditions as I noted.

Re: Odd thing - 2 AL's - One runs other doesn't, same Execution options
I had both 'Display' AND 'Window open' for BOTH of the AL's. But since you said that, I just changed both of them to 'Display'... since I care only about if it has a Row. I'll flush cache in 2 min's and then test again and we'll see... on the closing AL, i had 'Window Close' but maybe I really want 'un-Display'... thanks! -- View this message in context: http://ars-action-request-system.1093659.n2.nabble.com/Odd-thing-2-AL-s-One-runs-other-doesn-t-same-Execution-options-tp7527345p7527404.html Sent from the ARS (Action Request System) mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are
Re: Odd thing - 2 AL's - One runs other doesn't, same Execution options
More Oddness!!! I changed the names of the Active links... and I flushed the Cache, and synced it. my new names are not in my log file... still the old name - and still only the 220, not the 222 Active link. I've heard we have to flush cache multiple times for something to take, but this is ridiculous!! argh! -- View this message in context: http://ars-action-request-system.1093659.n2.nabble.com/Odd-thing-2-AL-s-One-runs-other-doesn-t-same-Execution-options-tp7527345p7527436.html Sent from the ARS (Action Request System) mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: Where the Answers Are
Re: Odd thing - 2 AL's - One runs other doesn't, same Execution options
It really boils down to what functionality you really want to meet. As David pointed out, these two options, although they sound similar, are not the same. See the help on the Dev studio and search for Creating Active Links for a complete list of executions and the precise descriptions..

Re: Odd thing - 2 AL's - One runs other doesn't, same Execution options
Since you say Active Links ... What are you using as a Client (Mid-Tier or User Tool)? Have you also cleared the local cache for that (Clear your local web browser cache or delete the .arf/.arv files)?
