Omnis app server deployment

[Martin Obongita]

 Hi Caroline,
I'm following this link from Omnis documentation:
https://www.omnis.net/developers/resources/technotes/tnjs0003.jsp
I am using Omnis app server connecting to postgresql database. I installed a separate runtime for the server.So I have both the server installation and the developer.And yes, the server configuration is setup and the synchronization server is connected to the database.
The remote forms open ok. The button objects are okay. The entry field displys the corrent number of record fetched from the server.The only issue is the datagrid is not displaying records fetched and yet I have assigned the $dataname property to a instance variable.
Regards, Martin.


 
 Dear Martin,

In theory, no - a form that runs in development should also run in 
deployment. However, bugs do happen and you might have found one. If so, 
you should report it to Omnis support.

Bugs and breakpoints are different matters. A bug is when the software 
does something it shouldn't. A breakpoint is something you place in the 
code - either in development mode (in which case, they disappear when 
you restart the library or Omnis) or as a "Breakpoint" line command in 
the code (this persists when you restart the library and/or Omnis). In 
runtime, breakpoints should be ignored. But I don't know how you are 
deploying this. If you have a development version on your server, then 
breakpoints will get hit. But you should be able to see that if you look 
at Omnis on the server.

How are you deploying this? What sort of server? Are you using a dev or 
runtime serial number? Do you have a visual interface to the server?

Bye for now

Caroline

I copy the library I am testing into the startup folder. The server configuration is setup and the synchronization server is connected to the database. If I run the Omnis app server, the remote form opens okay. Buttons are visible and enabled. The datagrid object is visible and enable but it does not display data. Though the entry field object with iList.$linecount displays 216 records. $dataname property for the datagrid is iLine. If I test in the web dev environment, the datagrid displays all the 216 records. Only in deployment mode does the datagrid refuse to display the data. Any hints on where I could check for a solution?
