Hi Mike,

in previous versions of Jiwa you could use code like the below to check if you were inside the user interface, given the MDI Parent on the instance is null how can you do this now?

Code: Select all

if (JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Manager.Instance.MDIParentForm != null )

All our forms, business logic, entities, collection items and collections now have a Manager property - just use that.

Code: Select all

if (????.Manager.MDIParentForm != null )

Hi Mike,

Sweet that worked.

I have also discovered that if you still use Manager.Instance you have to do Manager.Instance.Logon as well and pull the details off something else's manager.database for the server etc.

But the interesting thing I found when you create two managers and log them both in at the same time on the demo database the second one fails with an error about no available valid licenses , should that be happening?

I'm going to say yes. I'm also assuming these two managers are logging on as the same user? if they're different users, then that's definitely expected.

In order for it to count two logons with the same username in the same process, we would need to be able to query the sys.processes table in the master database to get the client process id of the connection - which isn't possible with Azure SQL databases - so we're stuck with not knowing if a connection is made in the same process or not.

What is the use case for connecting multiple times as the same user in an application?

Hi Mike,

No use case just testing some stuff in converting a plugin to the new methodology and yes both were using the admin user.

Thanks
