Hi Tim,

We had the exact same issue as well, we tried different things with the exclusion of the folder, file etc. and did not work, only workaround was to use the exclude process option and use the full path to the client RIA executable:
c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\obfuscatedfoldername\obfuscatedfoldername\appname\mgxpaRia.exe Now, if only we can actually define where our application would be installed on the client machine that would be great, instead of having to update each machine manually.

Re: Special characters - How to handle them in an existing ANSI project ?
Peter Ashworth
Unicode looks to be what we are after, I knew there was something in that area I had lost as I thought there was meant to be utf8 in the charset drop down but it was missing.
Thanks both for your comments. Peter

Re: Batch Task sometimes does not completely finish
You don't say which Magic version.
But let the Magic red debugger log run, and see if an error is logged there. That log has revealed much over time.

Hello all, I have noticed that sometimes one of my Batch Programs does not fully complete it's cycle. It is supposed to update all remaining times to inspection for installed components, but sometimes, it just starts then finishes before
completing the cycle. I generally know when this happens because it usually takes about 5 seconds to do it correctly but sometimes it bombs out after about a second. If I then run it again, it will mostly work the 2nd time. Does anyone know what might be causing
this to happen? It is not a complex task, I have much more complex batch tasks, and they all seem to work every time. _._,_._,_ Subsidiaries of Discovery Limited are

Hi Peter,
A while ago I did some investigation with V9 for a Polish client. I only get it work when the fonts are set to correct "Script" within Magic.  Best regards, André

Re: Special characters - How to handle them in an existing ANSI project ?

To support special characters, we changed all relevant Alpha fields to Unicode. Might have been a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but it is (hopefully) futureproof. It’s a big change to the datasources as these are 2 bytes per character, so it requires a physical table change rather than just a GUI change.
Its one of those times where you cross your fingers that you have used Models consistently at a level that matches the scope of the change. If you have, go have a pint.

Re: Unipaas 1.9g Range/Locate not displaying?
Govert Schipper
Hi Beorlaf,
If nothing was changed in the application, than maybe there is a problem with your keyboard. Sometimes one the keys gets stuck, like Shift. Just hitting it firmly a few times might help.

I also tried changing the ini setting
ExternalCodePage = 1252 to ExternalCodePage = 65001 Which should be utf-8 but that didn't make any difference either.

Special characters - How to handle them in an existing ANSI project ?
Peter Ashworth
Hi All
I got asked today about our applications support for special characters. Currently by default we are using ANSI everywhere. It seems to be the extended ANSI which gives us 255 characters, which includes some special characters but not a large amount. Specifically I was asked about a c with a chevron above it: č I played around with a sample program, the two offered charsets are ANSI and OEM, I presume OEM means either the default windows charset ie Windows-1252 or some variant of utf-8. However it appears this charset needs to be defined on each virtual in question and potentially against the database definition itself. Having said that OEM doesnt seem to be working anyway. For either a virtual or the database field whether i set it to ANSI or OEM, I paste the č in and it reverts to a plain c. This is in Magic XPA 3.3e. If I do the same in magic 9 I see a question mark instead immediately, no initial č when in ANSI mode. When in OEM mode I immediately see a plain c. Any thoughts or knowledge around this? Thanks Peter

Re: Batch Task sometimes does not completely finish
Buster,
Have you checked the mgerror log to see if you had an error processing the records (record locked, duplicate index, etc.)? Then check your task Error Recovery Strategy to see if it’s set to abort.

Buster,
Make sure to set the task property Allow Event=No.
This prevents the task from exiting when the user (accidently) presses Esc or clicks somewhere in the form.

Re: Batch Task sometimes does not completely finish
Steven Burrows
If you are updating a field that is part of the key and range, try adding a Sort of any kind. It has been known in the dim and distant past for magic to think the range had completed. Having a Sort “locks” the range at the beginning. (This behaviour may have been fixed at some time, but you learn work arounds, then apply them long after the work around is necessary)

Ive been here
You just need to go into windows where its seen as a threat , and say ignore this. There appears to be no way to be able to just say ignore this exe in a list.
It needs to be seen a a threat first
In windows security center - look under Virus & Threat protection , then under Scan history , if you have detected threats they are here - find the ria.exe and go ignore.
(BTW : you have no idea how long it took to find the screen i mention above).
What i dont get , we have a lot of RIA users very few see it this problem , from what i can see i can have two machines with all windows updates and one has the issues and the other doesnt

Re: Default VC server

Hi Florian,
do you install version control provider on work station? magic required version control provider to connect to VC-Server. after installation if you have several client providers please check default source control provider location in registry , magic looking for this location to prompt for the server.
