Thanks Doug.  

Unfortunately, I'm not able to run that SQL statement since I don't have
access to our database.  I could get our DB guys to run it for me, but
I'm sure that will be way down on the bottom of their list.

Right now the difference is between Dev and Staging.  We are loading
Production now and I'll see if it is the same as Dev or Staging
(hopefully, it's not different from either of those).  

I'll keep that SQL statement handy for future use.

Thanks again!

Lisa

Subject: Re: Audited from RefCount property on a Form

** 

Lisa,

 

I didn't know what this setting was so I did a little searching in the
knowledge base.

 

I found out that this setting on an Audit form is present for an Audit
form of type Log and it is the number of

other forms that have targeted this particular Log Audit form for
auditing.  So, if it is set to 5, it should mean

that there are 5 forms out there that have auditing of style log turned
on and those forms have specified

this form as the form to log their audit records to.

 

So, this is what the setting is - a reference count of the number of
forms that are targeting this form with a

log style audit.

 

It seems to be used to determine that there are forms that are
referencing this form and if the count gets

down to 0, the system knows that no forms are targeting this form as an
Audit log form any more.

 

So, this is an internal, automatically set option used for internal
management of the auditing environment.  It

is not a setting you should be controlling or worrying about.

 

So, why the difference????

 

First, have you turned on auditing for another form targeting this form
so that now there are 4 forms auditing

to this audit log form instead of 3?  That would be consistent with the
number being 4 on dev and 3 on staging.

 

Now, if you have not updated auditing on any form on dev to point to
this log form, the number should be

consistent between the environments.

 

 

If you want to pursue further to see what is connected, I found this
query in a KB article that allows you to

get the names of all forms that are connected to a given log form.  It
is an SQL query you would issue to the

database.

 

> select name Form , enable Enabled from arschema s, schema_audit a
where a.form=(select schemaid from arschema where
name='TMS:AuditLogSystem') and a.schemaid=s.schemaid order by name

 

Change the name TMS:Audit...  to the audit log form you are looking for
of course.

 

This should show you all the connected items.

 

If this shows you why things are different, terrific.

 

 

Other KB articles had a discussion about the number seeming off.  There
was a mention of doing a

Refresh Object List action when things are displayed in dev studio to
make sure all the values are correct.


Since the count is calculated, a restore of an old form definition could
bring back old values.  The values are

really advisory and informational so the system doesn't force
recalculation at all times so there is the

possibility that they get out of sync.  the Refresh Object List
operation should recalculate things.

 

 

I know this doesn't necessarily answer your question, but hopefully it
provides some more information

for you to work with.

Subject: Audited from RefCount property on a Form

 

** 

Does anyone know what this property is?  "Audited from RefCount"

 

It's on the CTR:AuditLogSystem form and I'm doing a migrator diff and
the count is different from dev to staging.  On Dev it's "4" and on
Staging it's "3"

 

I can't find this property anywhere on any documentation....
