Keeping the Epicor logo on

"We considered going with the time-out approach, but certain users need
Vantage most of the day, and wouldnt be very happy being kicked out of
vantage after doing something else for a certain amount of time."

We use Mike Podlin's Time-out utility, which can be 'turned off' for certain
workstations. I have it set to shut vantage down after 15 minutes idle on
most PC's. However, I have it off completely on the three manager's PC's
so that no matter how long they have vantage open it will not close. On
others, I have the time set to a half hour. Also, with this utility, if you
have one session of vantage open or starting, and you double-click the icon
again, you get a message that you already have a session open and it will
not let you start another session on that PC. This utility has been great
in saving us from having to buy more licenses and go around to manually kick
people off who are not using it.
Anyone have any ideas on how to write an expression that will find
and list the earliest Labor entry date (LaborDtl.Clockindate)
between 3 different manufacturing operations (OpMaster.OpCode).
The manufacturing process could begin on one of three different
OpCodes. I need to track the date manufacturing begins. Using
earliest Labor entry won't work because we log time on design
first. I need to list the three OpCodes and be able to list the
operation and the start date of the manufacturing process. Or
should I set up a user/memo field that can be used to manually enter
the date manufacturing begins? That would be easier but means another
entry someone had to make. Thanks -Kevon
Off the top of my head...
Create a calculated date field with something like:
IIF(OpCode = 'op1' or OpCode = 'op2' or OpCode =
'op3',Clockindate,12/31/2025)
--fill in you target op codes for op1,op2,op3
--12/31/2025 or any sufficiently far away date.
Then sort ascending on this date field. Any non-relevant op codes will sort
at end.
You could also supress printing band lines with 12/31/2025 date or set a
count and suppress all but the first date seen.

Maybe this ...

You could use earliest labor entry where LaborDtl.OpCode <> '???'
OR
You could use earliest labor entry where LaborDtl.OpCode = '???'

Try this, create a Calculated filled IIF(OpCode = Code1 or OpCode = Code2 or
OpCode = Code3, OpCode, ""). Then run a filter on the report Where OpCode =
Calculated Field.

Anyone have any ideas about keeping the startup Epicor logo on till the
login screen appears. I have very impatient users, they will click on the
icon 4 or 5 times then not clear the "extra" login occurances they've
started. I thought I'd try and keep the startup logo on for a while longer
to slow down their itchy fingers.

I do not think you can change the time that the startup screen appears. One
of the functions of the Vantage mainmenu.w is to close the startup window,
check database versions and then startup the logon window. Depending on
network traffic, there can sometimes be a delay in the time it takes to
close the splash screen and bring up the logon window. You can try using an
application/program that limits Vantage to running only one copy at a time
on the pc.

I've had this problem before mostly with the slower shop pcs (one case, I
had one pc running 27 copies of Vantage at once).

Besides telling users to be patient, I've noticed using a black and white splash speeds things up a tiny bit. You could customize it to say "PLEASE WAIT FOR THE LOGIN...This can take 20 seconds..." or something like that.
Also, have you tried running the System Management/Utilities/Cache Schema Changes? It shortens a 20 second login by about 3 to 4 seconds.

Really?! I tried it (Vantage 3) and it actually took *longer* to start
up! We see about 4 - 5 seconds start up on windows 9x on 100Mb network,
and even quicker (2 - 3 sec) on NT clients, with times being about equal
between Vantage 3 and 4. 10Mb slows to about 15 seconds; but with the
cache thing, all of those were about 20% slower?!

-Wayne Cox

PS... just me, or is yahoo massively delayed (hours?) in reflecting things
today?
Using my very unofficial watch, on V. 5 on a Win95 (winsock 2), it gave me a couple seconds. As you mentioned, NT is considerably faster than Win95.

I use a VB Script file to prevent multiple launches of Vantage. I uploaded the file to the yahoogroups files section. This script uses WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to see if the "prowin32.exe" process is running, if it is, it tells the user and exits, if it's not it launches Vantage. WMI is standard on Win2k and WinME (it also installs with SMS clients), you have to download it and install it for NT4 and 95/98. The download is at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?URL=/code/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/576/msdncompositedoc.xml%ef%bf%bd. Open the file in notepad and�set the 2 variables in the script that�customize to your environment...
�
strCompName = should be set to Your company name.

strVantageLaunch = should be set to the same string that your Vantage shortcut uses to launch vantage (you will probably only need to check the drive letter

running,
if it is, it tells the user and exits, if it's not it launches Vantage.
WMI
is standard on Win2k and WinME (it also installs with SMS clients), you
have
to download it and install it for NT4 and 95/98. The download is at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?URL=/code/sample.asp?url=/ms
dn-files/027/001/576/msdncompositedoc.xml . Open the file in notepad and
set
the 2 variables in the script that customize to your environment...

strCompName = should be set to Your company name.

strVantageLaunch = should be set to the same string that your Vantage
shortcut uses to launch vantage (you will probably only need to check the
drive letter

Replace your current Vantage shortcuts with this script file and change
the
Icon to the Vantage icon.

I do not think you can change the time that the startup screen appears.
One
of the functions of the Vantage mainmenu.w is to close the startup window,
check database versions and then startup the logon window. Depending on
network traffic, there can sometimes be a delay in the time it takes to
close the splash screen and bring up the logon window. You can try using
an
application/program that limits Vantage to running only one copy at a time
on the pc.

I've had this problem before mostly with the slower shop pcs (one case, I
had one pc running 27 copies of Vantage at once).

Anyone have any ideas about keeping the startup Epicor logo on till the
login screen appears. I have very impatient users, they will click on the
icon 4 or 5 times then not clear the "extra" login occurances they've
started. I thought I'd try and keep the startup logo on for a while
longer
to slow down their itchy fingers.

We considered going with the time-out approach, but certain users need
Vantage most of the day, and wouldnt be very happy being kicked out of
vantage after doing something else for a certain amount of time.

However, that approach could singnificantly reduce the demand for licenses,
and possibly eliminate the need for the "Could anyone not using Vantage
please log out" intercom page so frequently heard throughout the week in our
firm.

You can use a TimeOut parameter/application to close the idle multiple
logins.

Pretty nifty, Matt.
I wonder if there is anything that can be done on the Progress side? I am
still manually going in and killing users with multiple logins...

I use a VB Script file to prevent multiple launches of Vantage. I uploaded
the file to the yahoogroups files section. This script uses WMI (Windows
Management Instrumentation) to see if the "prowin32.exe" process is running,
if it is, it tells the user and exits, if it's not it launches Vantage. WMI
is standard on Win2k and WinME (it also installs with SMS clients), you have
to download it and install it for NT4 and 95/98. The download is at:

dn-files/027/001/576/msdncompositedoc.xml . Open the file in notepad and set
the 2 variables in the script that customize to your environment...

strCompName = should be set to Your company name.

strVantageLaunch = should be set to the same string that your Vantage
shortcut uses to launch vantage (you will probably only need to check the

Replace your current Vantage shortcuts with this script file and change the
