Re: Witango-Talk: Witango !CST Bug

[Roland Dumas]

Here's a hint as to when these anomalies are created: You open a taf that has an action that hits a database. You make a change, save, and off you go.  If you have not made sure that you are properly "logged on" to your database in the dev studio (Open your data source, select the tables, logging in.), you will likely create the dreaded !CST error. In my case, I noticed that I could create the things realiably by working too quickly. I don't know if saving login info will help, as I can't do that without precipitating crashes of the dev studio.  That's my $.02. Must make sure you are properly logged into your data source before doing your edits on actions.  I don't know if this will make the problem go away, but I do know that if you don't do this, you'll have a lot more of it.

It has been noted on the list before, but this bug is nasty, and you need to check EVERY one of your tafs if you have not already done so. I periodically consult with other companies who use witango, and they develop on using os x. They use witango for 1 medium size web app. I did a global search, and found 773 occurrence of !CST in 30 tafs. These will have to be fixed by hand. So if you use mac os x dev studio, you need to do a global search for !CST. There may be valid reasons for this data tag, but most likely, you have been bitten by this bug if you have it. It will cause database errors, that should normally not occur. Also, if you use the mac os x dev studio, you need to search your tafs in a text editor before putting into deployment, EVERY time you edit a taf. Trust me. I still find this happening in my tafs regularly. It usually occurs when you edit a action on a taf that was built previously. It seems to be more prevalent with Tiger. Anyway, ignore this if you don't use os x dev studio, but if you do, you must check. I have seen this for myself in 4 different witango shops, basically all using the os x dev studio. --  Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology VP Application Development - eventpix.com 13653 West Park Dr Magalia, Ca 95954 ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf Roland A.
