Thank you for your enquiry.

Personalized Mass Email 2.x supports the inclusion of a static attachment, ie. attached at the time of composing an email. At this stage ‘personalized’ attachments are not supported.

However, it is certainly possible to add such a feature to the solution. This idea has been added to the enhancements database, to be considered by Engineering for a future release of Personalized Mass Email.

If you require this feature within a specific timeframe, Advansys offers a custom development service. Please contact sales@advansyscorp.com if you wish to use this option.

Thank you for your enquiry.

The Templates solution obtains information about the local and shared folders from an INI file in the workstation’s Windows folder.

There might be some reason why, for user B, Templates is failing to read this INI file correctly. We will be sending a test applet to your email address for you to run in order to see what is being loaded from the INI file.

By the way, I notice that your installed version of Formativ is 1.6.0.8. You may wish to consider doing a free upgrade to version 1.6.0.13, which adds a number of improvements.

Thank you for enquiry.

It sounds like the manifest file for the solution pack has not been distributed to the user’s workstation. This must be done separate to the applet distribution.

I am guessing that you are using Formativ Studio 2.x. For more information on manifest file distribution, see the Users Guide, in the section Introduction | How to Register | Licence Files | Licence Files and the System Directory.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you for your enquiry.

Could you email your applet to support@advansyscorp.com? We will take a look at the applet and if possible advise you on how to make it work.

Peter,

Thank you for your enquiry.

The means to manipulate INI files with Formativ depends on which version you’re using.

With Formativ 1.6x, you will need to use the StringList object, which is documented under Utilities in the Language Guide. Here is a simple example:

    Dim iIsConnectOn
    Dim oStrings

    Set oStrings = Utilities.StringList
    If oStrings.LoadFromFile("C:WindowsMyConfig.INI") Then
      iIsConnectOn = (oStrings.Values("Connect") = "1")
    Else
      iIsConnectOn = False
    End If
    Set oStrings = Nothing

To distinguish items which are in different INI sections but have the same name, you may need to use a secondary StringList. Use

    iIndex = oStrings.IndexOf("[My Section]")

to find a specific INI section by name.

Formativ 2.0 and later provides access to the TIniFile object. Here is a simple usage example:

    dim iIsConnectOn
    dim oIniFile
    set oIniFile = TIniFile.Create("C:WindowsMyConfig.INI")

    iIsConnectOn = oIniFile.ReadBool("HTTP Connection", "Connect", false)
    set oIniFile = nothing

You can find documentation on TIniFile (along with the components on the Standard, Additional, Win32, System and Dialogs tabs of the Forms Designer component palette) in the Borland Delphi VCL help file. This can be downloaded from here.

Note that you can use the FileSystemUtils object (Utilities.FileSystem) to help build the components of a filename path.

I hope this information is helpful.

The Mail property PersonalSubject is only available using the GroupWise Object API, which unfortunately does not provide a means to access a message during the Send event.

You might wish to consider the following approach.

• Before sending, a user manually marks a message as requiring a personal subject. For example, the user could enter the special text “[[PS]]” in the message subject.
• Create an applet which executes on the event On Message Arrival (for the GroupWise Application, not Mail, etc), and
• Uses GroupWise.Account.MailBox.FindMessages() to filter for a message which is unread; whose message type is, for example, Mail; box type is incoming and subject contains “[[P]]”, and
• Sets the personal subject using the syntax oMsg.PersonalSubject = “My Personal Subject”, and
• Sets oMsg.Read = false, because accessing/changing the message can implicitly set Read = true (which will confuse the user).

I hope this helps you.

Thank you for your enquiry.

Below is an example of how one might use the GroupWise Object API from Formativ to obtain the Subject, Personal Subject and Categories from the open Message View.

Please note that Personal Subject and Categories are message properties which became available in GroupWise 6.5 and later.

Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)

  dim iPerSubject, iSubject, iText
  dim oCategories, oCategory
  dim oMsg

  set oMsg = nothing
  set oMsg = Client.ClientState.CommandMessage
  if not (oMsg is nothing) then
    iSubject = "Subject: " & oMsg.Subject.PlainText
    iPerSubject = "Personal Subject: " & oMsg.PersonalSubject

    iText = ""
    set oCategories = oMsg.Categories
    if not (oCategories is nothing) then
      if oCategories.Count > 0 then
        for each oCategory in oCategories
          iText = iText & "Category: " & oCategory.Name & vbNewLine
        next
      else
        iText = vbNewLine & iText & "No categories"
      end if
    end if
    iText = iSubject & vbNewLine & iPerSubject & vbNewLine & iText
  else
    iText = "Message not found"
  end if

  MsgBox iText

End Sub

For more information about the Object API see this online reference.

I hope this helps you.

Sonja,

Thank you for your enquiry.

The bad news is that in fact the advance Reminder option is only available with GroupWise 6.5.2 and later. (The GroupWise feature on which Anniversaries depends, Delayed Delivery, was introduced in GroupWise 6.5, but was defective until the release of 6.5.2.)

I am sorry about the misleading documentation, which has been updated in the current release. You should be able to download and install Anniversaries 2.0.6, which is a free upgrade to Anniversaries 2.0.x. Alternatively, if you have installed Calendar Pack 2.0 (which includes Anniversaries), then you should download and install the current release, also available here .

Dhugal,

Did you run the Formativ installer interactively or silently (using a configuration file)?

After installing Formativ Creator, you should expect to see the following changes to the GroupWise main window:

• A new menu “Applets” (or “Formativ”);
• New items on the Help menu, eg. “About Formativ…”;
• A new button on the toolbar, whose icon shows a paper scroll and triangle, to open the Formativ IDE, (next to the “Open Calendar” button).

You will not see other toolbar buttons until you install Formativ solutions which integrate with the GroupWise toolbar.

If you do not see these GroupWise integrations, have a look at the settings in the Formativ applet in the Windows Control Panel. You should have the following settings (at a minimum):

• On the General tab, in the box Enable/Disable Features all items should be checked;
• On the Local Config tab, in the box Settings, Formativ is enabled should be checked;
• On the Local Config tab, in the box Formativ Menu Appears in GroupWise if… all items should be checked.

I hope this helps you. Please let me know how you go.

I notice that the URL listed in the source code comment is out-of-date. The necessary ActiveX controls can be downloaded from:

• ActiveX Controls for Novell Services (Core Components)
• NDAP Controls

To answer your question about the current user, try this:

  oSession.FullName = oSession.LoginName

I hope this helps.
