Changes in RESULTS Admin module don't show up for all users
In Results, when a user/administrator makes a change through the
Administration Module (ie. module or query permissions, printer setup,
etc) the changes don't always show up for other users. This happens
for one of two reasons.
1. The other user is running with a different .qc(7) file than
the one that was updated. There should only be ONE .qc(7)
in a multiuser environment. Everyone should be using the same
.qc(7) file. If there are other .qc(7) files in users working
directories or anywhere else in the PROPATH they should be
deleted.
The one main .qc(7) file is created in the directory that
contains the database. If the database is on another machine
the .qc(7) file is created in the current directory. It can be
moved anywhere in the PROPATH.
2. The other user is running with old fastload files. When a
change is made in the Administration module the .qc(7) file
and the fastload file(s) in the same directory are updated
with the new information. Fastload files in other directories
are not updated with the new information. If there are copies
of the fastload files in users working directories or anywhere
in the PROPATH they should be deleted or replaced with the new
version.
To force the fastload files to be updated or to test if that
is the cause of the problem delete the fastload files and
go into the .qc(7) file and remove the lines fastload = xxxxx.
Then startup Results. Removing that line from the .qc(7) file
forces Results to read configuration information from the
.qc(7) file and not from the outdated fastload files.
Fastload files are compiled versions of the .qc(7) file.
When Results is started it reads configuration information
from the .qc(7) file. If it finds the lines fastload = xxxx.
it then continues by reading the files listed for fastload.
Naming Conventions
