Retrieving large datasets with SData

nicocrm — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:45:16 +0000

Reading a very large recordset at once is always a good way to cause concurrency problems on the database, and streaming such a dataset over a WAN connection can be problematic as well. Fortunately SData has built-in controls for paging which helps limit the amount of data returned. Query parameters allow one to control the [...]

ScriptLoadFailedException in Google Chrome

When using Google Chrome in the SalesLogix web client we noticed some of the dialogs were not showing up. Instead a “ScriptLoadFailedException” was displayed in the JavaScript console: A brief research turned out this solution… apparently the Microsoft Ajax code has a few quirks with the WebKit browser. This piece of Javascript needs to be [...]

Unable to log in with Internet Explorer – case of the disappearing cookies

nicocrm — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:36:19 +0000

Noticed a strange problem where Internet Explorer would not be able to log into SalesLogix, while Firefox had no problem. On IE the user would enter their username / password and be immediately resent to the login screen. Upon investigation with Fiddler we noticed the cookies were not being sent by IE. Even though the [...]

Strange “IndexOutOfRangeException” on test site

nicocrm — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 23:24:53 +0000

Out of the blue after adding a few fields to the test site we started getting some “IndexOutOfRangeException” and some type conversion errors. We have the test site on the same server as the production site (not a best practice! But an unfortunate requirement in this case) and it turns out those were caused by [...]

While using Sage Sales logix app architect for the past few months, I was compelled to start a series on the pitfalls that a sales logix developer runs into.

SalesLogix Windows Client and ComboFix

Alex.Cottner — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:54:32 +0000

Yesterday we discovered a major conflict between the SalesLogix windows application and the Anti-Malware utility ComboFix. DO NOT USE ComboFix if you are a SalesLogix customer using the SalesLogix Windows Application (remote or LAN). SalesLogix customers using the Web applications only do not have to worry about this problem. After ComboFix is ran on a [...]

Custom toolbar button in SalesLogix editable grids

nicocrm — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:16:29 +0000

The new “Editable Grid” (introduced in SalesLogix 7.5.4) is most noticeable by its ability to be, well, editable. But it also has another interesting feature – the ability to make multiple selection in the grid and easily associate a button that will take an action over all the selected records. Prior to having this grid [...]

How to make a SalesLogix Quickform control AutoPostback

anoshwadia — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 21:54:58 +0000

Before we dig deeper into the solution, lets understand….what is AutoPostback anyway? Autopostback is the mechanism by which a page will be posted back to the web server automatically, based on events in the web controls. The page is then dynamically updated with results, without requiring a page reload for the update data to display. [...]

It is built off of HTML5 and works hand-in-hand with their SData feeds. In this post I am going to demonstrate a functionality request that we [...]
