General Board / Mysql Database

« on: February 04, 2011, 11:08:26 pm »

What is the best way to have the mysql database method of using ea set up correctly. Mainly regarding security.

Currently we have the odbc driver set up so that it logs on using the admin account, for the mysql database which obviously isnt ideal. I was wondering what tables a user would need access to and what would be good set of permissions for a mysql user on ea? Thanks for anyhelp you can give.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / EA_GetMenuState In EA 9.1

« on: September 14, 2011, 07:40:35 pm »

Ive noticed get menustate not being called until a menu item is clicked. I was using this as validation were options would be greyed out that cannot be clicked. This then leads to users clicking on an option and recieving no error or no warning because it returns false then doesnt perform the click method for it. Any one else noticed this behaviour

I have lots of multithreaded plugins using
ThreadStart ts = new ThreadStart(The_method_calling);
Thread thread = new Thread(ts);
thread.start();

I have had no problems with threads in my plugins.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Workflow scripts

« on: March 09, 2011, 08:25:57 pm »

I have created a a script and changed the folder it is in to workflow group.

Code: [Select]

option explicit

!INC Local Scripts.EAConstants-VBScript

'
' Script Name:
' Author:
' Purpose:
' Date:
'
public function AllowStatusUpdate( OldValue, NewValue )
msgbox("boo")
      ' Obtain a reference to the current user and selected item
      dim currentUser, currentItem
      set currentUser = WorkflowUser
      set currentItem = WorkflowContext

    AllowStatusUpdate = true
end function

I have tested this on a local eap file and on a mysql database. The local EAP with no security the repository with security and users enabled. I assume this script should when i change the status of an element or package pop up and say boo? It doesnt on either.

If i make a main method and make that say boo when i reload the project it pops up and says boo.

what am i doing wrong. BTW i can make these broadcasts events work when i put them into an addin but this isnt practical for rolling out to all users. So a script within the repository is the best option.
Thanks in advance

How do you get your workflow scripts to be called when i add the broadcast events to a workflow script nothing happends i guess im doing something wrong.

And i think the repository isnt allowed to stop malicious code as anyone can set a workflow script. Just not anyone can turn them off. What seems strange from our testing here.

Has anyone used workflows for anything yet. I cant figure out how to do anything with them? Something like not allowing people to update the status of elements unless they are part of a certain group would be useful.
