    replication for the novell version

    Replication is a basic funcitonality and should be available also for the novell version of the ADS

    Status: declined

    This would require a significant amount of work that we are not willing to commit to the NetWare platform at this point in time.

    arc32.exe Save SQL Enhancement

    I appreciate that the following is due to user error but could you consider putting a 'Save As' option on the SQL Utility along side 'New' 'Open' and 'Save'. If you open an existing SQL and make changes all you have is the option to overwrite the existing SQL, which… more

    Make ADSDOSIP work with Windows 7

    It works with XP and Vista but not with Windows 7. ADSDOSIP.exe runs fine, but when we launch our DOS application, we keep getting DB CMD 1015 errors.

    Status: declined

    Our DOS library uses NetBIOS to communicate to the Win32 ADSDOSIP.exe application. The ADSDOSIP.exe receives the NetBIOS traffic and forwards it on to ADS via our normal win32 comm layer.

    Microsoft has removed support for the NetBIOS API: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb870913(v=VS.85).aspx

    If NetBIOS can't be used for IPC communications, then the Clipper app can't talk to our ADSDOSIP.exe app.

    ARC 9.10.0.23 Window position bug on startup

    The main window position and size is always wrong. The window appears in the lower right corner of the screen and one must minimize it, then maximize it to have it placed properly and cover the entire screen.
    Previous versions did not exihibit this problem.

    Status: completed

    Fixed and will be in the next v9 and v10 updates.

    Editing a view requires exclusive access

    You can't edit a view while tables are in use, you get an invalid open mode error. If possible, please remove this requirement so views can be edited on a live system. Thanks.

    Status: declined

    The only way I was able to re-create this was by opening a table in exclusive mode, which would then cause view modification to return a 7008 error. The view dialog verifies the correctness of the sql by running a semantic check, which can't complete if a table the view uses is opened exclusive.

    Support for WindowsCE / Windows Mobile

    Add support for .net compact framework

    We will not be porting the Advantage server or clients to run on a mobile device. Our suggestion is to use SQLLite on the device, and read/write data to Advantage using your own web service, or the upcoming Advantage Web API: http://jdmullin.blogspot.com/2010/09/advantage-web-api.html

    Trim the code of stored procs and triggers in the dictionary comparer

    The dictionary compare tool shows a difference between two identical stored procedures / triggers when they have extra spaces at the beginning or at the end.

    The code should be trimmed on both sides.

    Status: completed

    Thanks for your feedback. This is a known bug and was fixed in version 9.10.0.21 and is scheduled to be fixed in the next 10.0 update (in a few weeks).

    Allow NULL values to bootstrap a column alias

    Currently, one can bootstrap an alias with a literal value, one cannot do the same with NULL. Please allow NULL to be used as well since it is a valid option.

    For example you can do the following:

    Select 'ABC' as ColumnName from system.iota;
