Release Notes
Enhancements
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 from drop-down lists.
- The LAN version now enforces the number of simultaneous users allowed by your license agreement.
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: If you are updating from release 1.5.28, this patch will set the user count limit to FIVE. If your license allows more than five users running from the same server, please contact the NWA Sales Department before installing this patch to arrange for the correct licensing. The patch will not affect user counts set in later releases.
