Wanna know another interesting bug? Try exporting an AL that has a really long Set Field If qualification as a .xml export, and then reimporting it again. The import will fail. I experienced that a couple of weeks ago and was beating my brains numb as to why the import was failing on that AL only and not others. And the only different thing about that AL compared to any other that exported and imported well was that qualification length.
Exporting and importing it as a .def file, it has no problem. There is nothing wrong with the xml format but yet for some reason the import fails. The reason why I wanted a xml export and not a def, is that there were some modifications I needed to do on the def file which is easier in the xml format than the def.

If you try to do the same thing in an Active Link, on the same form and field, with the 7.1 Admin Tool, it will not let you cut and paste and/or type more than about 1900 characters into the SET FIELDS action. Give it a shot. Truly fun. The problem is worse than that....you can import such an Active Link onto a 7.1 server, no problem. You just can't modify the set fields itself. You can't run Remedy Developer Plus from the 7.1 Admin tool against it either. It will hang the minute it hits that active link. Fun times. You can imagine the run-around I got from BMC Support. I had to debug and solve this myself. Now...is this a bug in 7.1 or something BMC/Remedy "fixed" because it was "not working correctly" in 6.3? _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
