[RBASE-L] - RE: R:Tango question

[Alan Wolfe]

Ok so i have this working and it works wonderfully so far!   I have a very nooby question though.  This r:base command file i made loops through data and spits it out in an html table format.   One of the fields it outputs is a description field which is just text and can be anything.  On this line, sometimes it gives error message "syntax is incorrect for the command WRITE" but it doesn't always do that.   the line in question looks like:       write '<td><font size=2>' .vdescription '</font></td>'   I haven't yet been able to figure out what text causes it to have problems but is that correct syntax for write?  Is there some way i can protect against bad text causing syntax errors?   Thanks again (: ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Wolfe To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 7:27 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: R:Tango question i wish we could, in our setup we serve everything through the browser with witango and the most we can get from them as far as client side processing is slow, unreliable _javascript_.   the bonus is our clients can connect to the server from anywhere though so I guess it's a fair trade off :P   ----- Original Message ----- From: Troy Sosamon To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 6:49 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: R:Tango question But remember, R:base does most of the processing at the workstation, so if you ran that report from a workstation against the db on the server, you would have less load on the server.     From: rbase-l@rbase.com [mailto:rbase-l@rbase.com] On Behalf Of Alan Wolfe Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 7:43 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: R:Tango question   that's a smart idea.   we are on single server setup where web and database are on the same server but if that changes, I'll remember that   ----- Original Message ----- From: Troy Sosamon To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 6:34 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: R:Tango question   You might even want to consider having that batch file start a process on a different machine so you don’t burry your web server and split some of the load off.   Some of my big reports that get requested from the web insert a record into a table while there is another machine waiting in a loop watching that table and then fires off when it finds the row, generates the report and sends it out or drops it to a pdf file for the browser to pick up later.       From: rbase-l@rbase.com [mailto:rbase-l@rbase.com] On Behalf Of Alan Wolfe Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 7:01 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: R:Tango question   That is exactly what I wanted to hear,  thanks Troy!

I have a few apps that run WiTango apps concurrently w/ R:base. You need to make sure you are in multi user mode and that the rabase and the tango cfg files match.   Troy       From: rbase-l@rbase.com [mailto:rbase-l@rbase.com] On Behalf Of Alan Wolfe Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 6:13 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - R:Tango question   Hey guys!   We are running R:Tango with oterro 2.6 and R:Base 2000 v6.5++.   We have a process someone is trying to do in our system that takes a long time and the browser as well as witango times out so they never see the results.   What i was wondering is, if we have an action in witango that fires off a batch file to run an r:base command file to generate this data and then sends it off to the user, will there be any bad kinds of collisions?   I guess my question is just is it safe to run an r:base command file while oterro is also active on the same database?   Thank you, Alan
