Enchancements
This patch incorporates several enhancements and corrects problems found
in the previous release:
- Connects directly to Access 2000 databases.
- Database Connectivity filters and SQL queries can now contain "Replaceable"
parameters that let you modify queries before they are sent to the database.
- New user-interface functions in Run Files make it easier to enter
data and select files and variables, for example, by selecting fromdrop-down
lists.
- The LAN version now enforces the number of simultaneous users allowed
by your license agreement.
Documentation
The most significant changes from previous releases are in features
covered by Chapters 9 and 12 of the Users Manual. An addendum containing
new versions of these chapters is available for download.
Installing on a LAN
This patch installs additional system components, replaces certain
existing components, and requires configuration of the User Count
control. After installing the Quality Analyst upgrade on the server,
you must run the QASETLAN program from all workstations that will be running
Quality Analyst.
LAN User Count Enforcement
All Quality Analyst LAN licenses limit the number of simultaneous
users. This release now enforces that limit. Users who try to run Quality
Analyst while the user-count limit has been reached will receive a message
informing them that there are no user slots available. Note that
the simultaneous user count includes users executing Quality Analyst Run
Files from icons (shortcuts) or other applications.
WARNING: This patch sets the user count limit to FIVE. If your
license allows more than five users running from the same server,
please contact Adept before installing this
patch to arrange for the correct licensing.
