Witango-Talk: Access database problem
Anyone experienced problems with reading and writing to a MEMO field in an Access database? It seems that if the characters are over 1024k it just won't update, and if the field is empty it won't read it. I get a precision error messages. I'm using Witango 5 app (win 2k) server, but these are T2k files created on a Mac (if I remember rightly they were working Ok when they were T3 files (mac) running on the same server, so it may be something to do with how the T2k editor handles the ODBC. cheers -- Garth Penglase Broadband Media http://bbmedia.com.au ph: 0500 527 000 TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf
Re: Witango-Talk: Access database problem
I've never had any trouble with Memo fields in Access. Why don't you try recreating the database actions from scratch? That might take care of it.

Re: Witango-Talk: Please help - Witangod crashing
Thanks to Roland and Isabelle for the input. Just as a "community update," here's where I am with it: Phil is helping me with this. There are definitely some goofy things going on, and he's been very generous with his time (as he's always been - this guy and this company are great). The ¥ problem was part of what was going on, but not all of it. That part is fixed now. Roland is right about that one causing a crash 100% of the time - wow! I sent my batch text editor on a regular-expression seek-and-destroy mission. The other part of the problem that I can identify seems (to me) to be with how DevStudio is writing the datasources block into my tafs. There seem to be some inconsistencies there that I have sent on to Phil for examination. In my case, DevStudio has written additional datasources into the files and numbered them. For instance, what should (I think) be one entry of a datasource called "homework.fmp5" becomes a series of entries called "homework.fmp5.1," "homework.fmp5.2," etc. I'm not sure, but I don't think this is how it's supposed to happen. The DevStudio also won't take things out of the file (I half expect to hear, "that not a bug, it's a feature"). For example, some of my tafs refer to old non-existent datasources as deployment sources even though I reset the datasources in DevStudio and mark "default" or "same" for deployment. Granted, the XML still says UseDevelopmentDataSource="TRUE" , but I still would have thought I could remove an entry Thanks to all for the ongoing help.

Re: Witango-Talk: Please help - Witangod crashing
DevStudio has definitely become quirky on OS X. I'm finding that things created with builders are the most problematic with random inclusion of IF statements, creating html fields with 1 character allowed, old stuff that won't go away, etc. Very funky.

Witango-Talk: Urgent - IIS times out before WiTango is finished
We're suddenly having a problem where WiTango pages that are waiting for DBMS query results seem to be timing out before WiTango has a chance to return the results. We have some long-running queries (like 5-7 minutes) and everything was fine, as long as you waited for the queries to return. Now, I either get an error code 500 from IIS or a 'Cannot find server or DNS Error' after 5 minutes. If I trace the WiTango logs I see that after my browser shows an error WiTango finally does get the DBMS results and continues processing of the taf file and 'returns' the results to IIS as normal. But my browser has already shown an error to me. I can't find where there might be a 'timeout' setting in IIS that would control this. There is a connection timeout setting at 900 seconds - but my error happened at exactly 300 seconds. Any ideas? Dave Machin E-Mail.

Witango-Talk: Accessing User Variables
Title: Message Hello all, The problem that I have is to find out: 1- what <@UserReference>s are current; 2- what variables are associated with a particular <@UserReference> and their respective values. I have checked the documentation but could not find this infromation. <@VARNAMES> only gives these values for the current user's session, not for all active users (some of those might not even be logged in). From what I understand, this information is already available to the server (this is how it keeps track of variables & timeouts) but I do not know how to acquire it. I imagine two calls would solve the problem: one would return the array of <@UserReference>s, the other the pairs (name, values) of variables associated with one particular <@UserReference>. Of course I can save all <@UserReferences> and created variables in a DB and also update them when modified. This will however collect a lot of info that I do not need and have a major negative impact on performance. It's got to be an easier way. I would really appreciate if anybody can help and provide hints to a solution or point to documentation that might have escaped me. My apologies if this issue has been already solved in previous messages; I made a search but I could not find what I needed. Mihai. TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf
Re: Witango-Talk: Urgent - IIS times out before WiTango is finished
This sounds like a client error. There is a setting for clients.ini called CLIENTIOTIMEOUT. It defaults to 300 seconds. If the client doesn't get a response back within CLIENTIOTIMEOUT, it makes the web server return a 500 error. If you have changed QUERYTIMEOUT to 900, try changing CLIENTIOTIMEOUT to 900. Or even 910, so that when something does timeout, you'll be sure the TIMEOUTHTML file is returned instead of the Witango client's 500 error. This CLIENTIOTIMEOUT setting can go under each of your WITANGO_SERVER lines in clients.ini. Also, be careful editing clients.ini -- it is re-read by the Witango client on each request. So don't save that file unless it's in valid format. Otherwise, the client might not process incoming requests. - Jeff We're suddenly having a problem where WiTango pages that are waiting for DBMS query results seem to be timing out before WiTango has a chance to return the results.

I reported "the client giving up after 300 seconds" as a bug to With. Then they told me about CLIENTIOTIMEOUT. At the time, this wasn't in any documentation that I could find. I'm not sure if the docs have it yet. I don't know of any other undocumented stuff.

RE: Witango-Talk: Urgent - IIS times out before WiTango is finished
Hi Dave, It can be deceiving, but your browser probably timeout long before IIS did. This is where you're programming has to get creative. One suggestion is to investigate the "Push" feature of the Search Action. If you're got a long running Loop of some sort, then you can "Push" small bits of content on each Loop to create a continuous stream to the browser until the query finishes. As long as the browser is receiving content in small bits in reasonable intervals - the browser will wait forever without timing out. If your query is in one action, then look at ways of breaking it up. This is just one suggestion - more details from you might trigger some other thoughts Hope this helps. Cheers.

Re: Witango-Talk: Urgent - IIS times out before WiTango is finished
Yes, I did fix some other reporting issues with a 'push' and a little progress bar - but now I have one where it's just one single query and I have to wait for it to return.

Witango-Talk: Purge user variable on window closing
I use a popup window in an application. The popup window is a taf that creates user variables. I need to use user variables in the popup as it creates a few large arrays and the taf branches back to itself, so I only want to create the arrays once. Is there a way to purge specific user variables when a popup window is closed? FYI: the parent window would still be open, but may be a different taf than the original one that opened the popup. So I believe the popup would need to purge the user variables when it is closed. Thanks Steve Fogelson Internet Commerce Solutions TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf

RE: Witango-Talk: Accessing User Variables
Title: Message Step 1. Record all USERREFERENCES A. If you have a clearly defined login procedure, add an @ADDROWS to create a one column domain array containing each USERREFERENCE created. Use the variable timeout trigger to remove the USERREFERENCE from the array. You might want to consider adding a timestamp column as well, to track creation time, this in optional. B. If you do not have a clearly defined login, you’ll have to run your @ADDROWS whenever you might be establishing a USERREFERENCE. You can always record in a user var that you’ve done this step, and can skip it from then on. Step 2. @URL to fetch the uservars. A. Create an application (showuservars.taf) that: @ASSIGNS request$varnames <@VARNAMES scope=user> @ROWS array=varnames <@COL 1>: <@VAR user$<@COL 1>> /@ROWS B. Loop through the domain variable containing all USERREFERENCEs and @URL location=showuservars.taf?_UserReference=<@COL 1> Remember that each time you run this script you’ll reset ALL user scopes to the default timeout. If you run this repeatedly in less time then the user var timeout is, your server will never clear user vars, and eventually exhaust its memory. Robert Shubert Tronics -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 2:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Witango-Talk: Accessing User Variables Hello all, The problem that I have is to find out: 1- what <@UserReference>s are current; 2- what variables are associated with a particular <@UserReference> and their respective values. I have checked the documentation but could not find this infromation. <@VARNAMES> only gives these values for the current user's session, not for all active users (some of those might not even be logged in). From what I understand, this information is already available to the server (this is how it keeps track of variables & timeouts) but I do not know how to acquire it. I imagine two calls would solve the problem: one would return the array of <@UserReference>s, the other the pairs (name, values) of variables associated with one particular <@UserReference>. Of course I can save all <@UserReferences> and created variables in a DB and also update them when modified. This will however collect a lot of info that I do not need and have a major negative impact on performance. It's got to be an easier way. I would really appreciate if anybody can help and provide hints to a solution or point to documentation that might have escaped me. My apologies if this issue has been already solved in previous messages; I made a search but I could not find what I needed. Mihai.

Re: Witango-Talk: Purge user variable on window closing
hey Steve I dont think so, since purging user variables is server side and closing a window is client side its kinda a difficult thing to do. why not try this? When it gets to the spot where its creating these large variables, check if they are empty before it creates them. Only fetch the data if they are empty (: Another thing you can do is if this is like a "sub form" and you have a main form thats the bug of alot of your functions, you could put a purge at your main form for these large variables so when the user comes back to the main form, it frees the memory. - Original Message - From: "Fogelson, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Witango User Group (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 12:00 PM Subject: Witango-Talk: Purge user variable on window closing > I use a popup window in an application.

Witango-Talk: WiTango / IIS Internal Server Error
Hey all, I have a strange problem here. Just finished a brand new install on a Win 2K box with IIS 5 and WiTango. When attempting to hit some taf files on the server I get an "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error" in the browser. After checking the tango log, I see the request for the taf is indeed sent to the app server, but WiTango reports the following in the log [Error] -3 The application file was either missing or invalid. /test.taf The strange part is, I can serve up a .tml file that is sitting in the exact same directory as the test.taf file. My question is, why is WiTango processing .tml files and not .taf files? I opened up the .taf in a text editor to see if it was corrupt, but it seemed to be fine. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Witango-Talk: WiTango / IIS Internal Server Error
The TAF opened fine in the dev studio. Plus the taf only has a results action with the text "test" in it. I also tried the same TAF on a production WiTango server already setup and it worked fine. I'm guessing there is something simple that I'm overlooking. Mike Jeff Bohmer wrote: The XML might be messed up in such a way that it looks fine from a text editor, but is invalid.

I'm probably too late to submit this little tool to any contest, but I'll try to get it together if anyone is interested. Basically... It is a tool for checking dependencies... right now it only supports tables and customSQL, later it could check objects, files, user/domain variables, etc. Jim Kass Web Developer -- Forestweb: The Source for Industry Intelligence Best Content -- Most Relevant -- Best Delivery http://www.forestweb.com (310) 553 - 0008 -Original Message- From: Stefan Gonick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 3:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Using DOM anyone?

Re: Witango-Talk: Access database problem
Yes, good suggestion - I also find that it is necessary to replace data fields in actions when transferring tafs from one database to another, and one Tango platform to another sometimes - possibly because there is a bug in the way that it stores the information for development Vs. deployment data sources. But I figured out the problem. Since I use a different database to test on my dev system than Access and the ODBC field selection is different from Access, I was using Varchar for the MEMO fields, but after changing them to LongChar it works fine. thanks for the input. Garth I've never had any trouble with Memo fields in Access. Why don't you try recreating the database actions from scratch? That might take care of it. Stefan At 11:43 PM 9/11/2003 +1000, you wrote: Anyone experienced problems with reading and writing to a MEMO field in an Access database? It seems that if the characters are over 1024k it just won't update, and if the field is empty it won't read it. I get a precision error messages. I'm using Witango 5 app (win 2k) server, but these are T2k files created on a Mac (if I remember rightly they were working Ok when they were T3 files (mac) running on the same server, so it may be something to do with how the T2k editor handles the ODBC. cheers -- Garth Penglase Broadband Media http://bbmedia.com.au ph: 0500 527 000 TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf Database WebWorks: Dynamic web sites through database integration http://www.DatabaseWebWorks.com TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf -- Garth Penglase Broadband Media http://bbmedia.com.au ph: 0500 527 000 TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf
Re: Witango-Talk: mail encryption
yes. hope someone else can shed some light on how to integrate it with Witango though, as I haven't put any time into it, but would like to implement something like that for a couple of sites. Garth can a mail message use PGP encryption?

RE: Witango-Talk: Purge user variable on window closing
Could one use this method to generally log out a user when they close their browser window? In other words could one put a in every page's header and then call some general taf that would clear that user's user variable when they close the window?

RE: Witango-Talk: Purge user variable on window closing
It might work When I first tested PurgeOnClose.taf with calling it as a popup window Witango Server didn't like it, as a matter of fact it crashed the server. I think it had something to do with the fact that there was now where for the result html to go I guess if you wrapped the code in <@EXCLUDE> so that there is no output from the taf, kind of like a taf you would use in a cron job it might work. But all the code did was do a <@PURGE> it could have had some text. I guess also <@PURGERESULTS> at the end might do it.

RE: Witango-Talk: mail encryption
If you are talking about a Mail Action. Yes, but you need to send it in Ascii-Armored format and the recipient would have to do the decrypting within the mail client PGP setup. If want to send it with the data and the key so that the email client automatically decrypts it you would have to use <@EMAIL and <@EMAILSESSION This is because you need to do a multipart email something like this MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; micalg="pgp-md5"; boundary="Boundary" Boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 aksfjklsjdflksadfasfkasdklfasdfkasfkasfadsfsadf Boundary Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -BEGIN PGP MESSAGE Version: PGP SDK 3.0.2 ajskldfjslkdfjklsajfdkdsaf aflkasdjflsadfkklsdaf;jskdaf asdflsdafsadlkfjsad;fsadj =pcdH -END PGP MESSAGE Boundary- I have been doing tests on this with PGP version 6.5.8 I got from http://www.pgpi.org I will be doing more test on PGP within <@EMAILSESSION for inclusion in my presentation at the conference Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com -Authorized WiTango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm -Authorized Alt-N Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm -Original Message- From: Roland A.
