Thanks for the responses. Looks like 8.1.02 will be the direction we want to go. 9.0 is a little too new for us to take a chance on. Marc From: Jason Miller jason.mil...@gmail.com To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG, Date: 05/13/2015 04:29 PM Subject:Re: Best and well behaved 8.x

Thad, Yes, the Association feature is a major new feature. And, the 9.0 release has introduced the basics and the possibilities and leverage of the feature are just getting started. The 9.0 release uses the Association feature in two major ways: 1) To delete child records when the

I'm still trying wrap my head around what they were thinking when they fundamentally changed the nature of the CDM. It was done to improve performance, but the supporting evidence I've seen is as thin and full of holes as a 20 year old t-shirt. Rick On May 14, 2015 9:38 AM, Thad Esser

ARS v9.0 - New Server Object - Associations

2015-05-14 Thread Thad Esser
Has anyone else taken a look at the new Association server object for version 9.0? I've only read the docs (haven't played with it yet), but this seem like a huge new feature, with possibilities way beyond just archiving (which is what the docs say its being used for).

I suppose, but consider things like pending approvals, which are all dependent on the login ID present when the record was created. Unless you update those records to match, they become orphans. Rick On May 14, 2015 8:24 AM, Scott Hallenger vadr...@yahoo.com wrote: ** Hello Lister's, I was
