Shawn, That's weird. Instead of relying on logging, you can add active link messages in between the active links that build the field for external qual, and see how the values are changing (especially the field referenced by external() ).
Is the field(s) referenced by external() visible? If not, you can make it visible and see if it's getting the right value. --- On Fri, 7/16/10, Pierson, Shawn <[email protected]> wrote: From: Pierson, Shawn <[email protected]> Subject: Schrödinger's Active Links on the Mid Tier To: [email protected] Date: Friday, July 16, 2010, 3:09 PM ** Ok folks, here is a weird one. I am having an issue with a custom application that started after we upgraded the Mid Tier from 7.1 to 7.5 patch 4. Basically, I have a console with a table field and an external qualification. That qualification is set on Window Open, and it is based on what permission group you are in. If you are in the CS group, it should show CS tickets, if you are in the MH group, it should show MH tickets. This works fine in most scenarios, except for the one that we normally operate in. Here are the ways I’ve tested it: 1. If I access the Mid Tier as the end user, I see the wrong group’s tickets. 2. If I access the Windows User Tool as the end user, I see the correct group’s tickets. 3. If I access the Mid Tier as the end user *with active link logging enabled*, I see the correct group’s tickets. Granted, I am trying other ways of logging what is going on, but this sounds like a bug in the Mid Tier to me. I’ve been able to reproduce this several times and have a ticket open with BMC Support, but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into issues like this before.
