Rules Editor - Auto Tabs

[Klaus]

Hi,

I detected a strange think in Architect (Cognos Express 9.5). After I activated and opened the advanced rules editor it behaved in a strange way: on every click with the mouse an tab is inserted - so working with it is not really possible.
So I decided to de-active the advanced option againg - but when I open the archited the advanced mode is still in use - allthough I tried to restart the server.

has anybody an idea how i could solve the problem?

Hi Klaus,

Restarting the server won't work as the availibility of the Advanced Rules editor is a client side setting.
I have seen the {tab} insertion in the rules editor (both advanced and classic) in situations where you're working over a Terminal Server connection - usually when you switch away from your TS and then back, a {tab} is inserted. AFAIK (but I did not spend much time finding out...) there is nothing you can do about that.

Hi Michel,

thank you for your answer. I restarted the server because I just worked on it (with the architect) ... so it's strange and it is not really possible to work with rules as it is now.

Best regards
Klaus

some new information:
I installed the Architect on 2 clients - and after opening the local versions the advanced editor was enabled in both computers allthough in the ini-file the option was set to false.
has anybody an idea if Architect could read this configuration via the server? The setting on all computers (server and clients) have de-activated the advanced mode.

Are you sure you've changed the correct tm1p.ini file? Your personal tm1p.ini file resides in your personal %APPDATA%\Applix\TM1\ directory.

Hi,

yes I'm sure (and I also searched for any other tm1p.ini file and changed it). And as I wrote it is the same after a installation on a clean machine. I have installed CX for many times but I never had this behavior
