Environment
Windows Nt2000 @ SqlServer2000
Axiant 3.0 Build 1175
Background
I have completed migrating screens/forms, reports and qtp runs into my
Axiant repository. Also data from Image/Ksam via portable subfiles to
SqlServer. I have also learned courtesy of Jean-Pierre Fortin @ Cognos
Boston the art of remote {server based} execution. My aim is to capitalise
on server capacity with regards to Quiz and Qtp via "Bat" files which may
contain many Quiz/Qtp components in what were Hp3000 Stream files. My client
has a range of workstations by way of quality, so this was deemed to be a
practicle approach.
Question
Are there any users who have a work-around to my "problem" where-by all
Choose Value prompts, or Parm Prompt values are actually directed to the
Server program Netd.
That is the user does not see the "prompt", it appears at the server, within
the Netd command window. I guess by Cognos definition of Thin Client,
Quiz/Qtp are behaving correctly. The Axiant Form/Gui does not interact with
the server, Netd.exe does with reference to Quiz/Qtp.
Knowledge base article 56952 documents the "feature", but is has not been
addressed as the article suggests to my knowledge. The solution defined in
the article would be data-driven, providing a "range" of forms capable of
creating "stdin" files to be "passed" to the server based background
process. This will require a lot of work, as I have some 70 instances of
varying parm/prompt/choose within quiz code alone in one application alone.
I am interested in any other approaches the "community" may have to the
"problem".
Sincerely,
Glenn Baxter
