[Hardhats-members] GTM database replication at remote site

2005-02-14 Thread Kevin Toppenberg
I have finally printed out the GTM system administrator's manual, and am picking through it. I have some questions about database replication at a remote site. I'm guessing this is a Bhaskar question--but anyone can answer. >From my initial review, it seems that database replication takes place

Nancy, I think I opened a can of worms on this one. I was assuming that an out patient could also have an attending physician. But apparently not. I think this issue is going to be more hassle than I won't to mess with right now. Thanks for everyone's help! Kevin --- Nancy Anthracite <[EMAIL

I suspect something else must be going on. I tried setting the write protection to "^" (BTW, you can do this because the field sits by itself on a global node in the DD) and, sure enough, DUZ(0)="@" does trump "^", just as Marianne said. If yhou were using DIC, I'd think perhaps you had a pre-selec

You've got me, Greg. I was curious about Kevin's issue and just tried a few things. What I wrote is just my observation, I didn't have anything to do with the design, and the things that I work on don't generally require the use of this technique. tjh -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Here's an example of what happens when you try to edit an uneditable field. (TEST is both the field name and the .01 field of the record with ien 1, which is a little confusing.) Select MESSAGE TEMPLATE NAME: `1 TEST TEST: U Select MESSAGE TEMPLATE NAME: `1 TEST TEST: U// (No Editing) Sel

Does this trick offer any advantages over using the "Uneditable Data" option in Fileman to make the field uneditable? The effect is basically the same: Fileman disallows writes and deletes. --- "Holloway, Thomas (EDS)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >The use of "^" as a lock is a neat programmer

Greg asked:  "Has this been changed?"   I don't know Greg.  I just tested it by putting a ^ in DUZ(0) and that still didn't allow me to select the field.  Based on that result, it was an assumption on my part that FileMan doesn't honor that particular character as a key to unlock the lock.  P

Has this been changed?  It used to be that you could set DUZ(0)="^" and it would permit the edit.  As mentioned here, it was a want to 'write protect' a field so that only a trigger could enter the data (a trigger asks if you want to write protect a field). Holloway, Thomas (EDS) wrote:

The use of "^" as a lock is a neat programmer trick to enforce security on a field. It can't be stored in #200 because it will alter the number of pieces in the node (since it is the delimiter, as Kevin noted). It can't even be entered as a lock character through the normal FM field edit funct
