Creating dynamic ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Tue Oct 4 05:55:50 CDT 2005

I have always assumed that the administrator is required only to actually
execute the AT command. Once the file is AT'ed, to run every five minutes
for example, presumably any file that is referenced by it for execution can
be written to from the Axiant user's process - simulating the AT command.

To give a very basic example, if a .cmd file, AT'ed ( by an administrator)
to run every 10 minutes, contained syntax 

'call c:\cmds\do_userx_10min_commands.cmd'

the commands for this file could be written to it from the axiant client at
any point, and then be executed within the next ten minutes.

There could be a file AT'ed to run once every hour, once a day ...etc... The
developer would only have to add additional file calls.

Regards, Joe.

you need to belong to the administrator group
to use the AT command to stream background jobs on the server.

utility vs security: utility wins.

and, besides, you don't HAVE to tell the users they've got admin rights on
the server.

a chap named Chad said that you can use command 'setx' to create a system
env, but I believe this depends on the version of DOS you have ( V6
probably).

 I'm still not sure why you want to be an administrator to run Axiant -
wouldn't this be risky at an unattended desktop - these are the usual
arguments against.

 I'm pretty sure that sestsystemval on Windows platforms creates a variable
that is available to child processes only.

 Thanks joe.

 The login dialog appears when I start the application.

Glenn in one of his mails says (if I am remembering correctly) it appears
and there is no way to suppress it.  I tried logging into to the server
using the application's network userid. I
tried to create environment variables. But the system doesn't let me create
system environment variables. However it permits me to create user
environment variables. but SETSSTEMVAL function creates a system env.
variable and not a user environment variable.  Regards,

SYED.

 personally I would use syntax 'set report device disc NOLIMIT name
$UEVD_REPNAME ; but that aside, why do you feel that the network user you
are using to connect to server has to be a member of the ADMINISTRATORS
group ?

 Incidentally, I am always happy for the users to log in when they run the
Ax
app, so I wonder if this is happening at other times, when exactly are your
users being prompted for login details  ? Regards, Joe.   _____  From:

 Dear Gurus,

 I'm using AXIANT 4GL/PH/WINDOWS (Thin Client).

 To set the report path dynamically, I am storing the path in the database.

I'm creating a dynamic Windows environment variable to pass this path to the
report using the following command.

     SETSYSTEMVAL("UEVD_REPNAME", TRUNCATE(REPORTFILE))

 I'm using the following command in the quiz file.

    set report device disc LIMIT 10000 name $UEVD_REPNAME

 My issue is security.

The network user I'm using to connect to server has to be a member of the
ADMINISTRATORS group.

And I could not suppress the network user logon dialog box. How can I
resolve this issue?

 Can anyone helpme out of this issue? I'll appreciate.

 Regards,

SYED.
