• tanmos Thin client and smart client

  Continuing a thread I have posted somewhere around here (but could not find it), why do people usually say a smart client is able to work offline, and a thin client only works if connected to Internet. I consider this not true, since a thin client may be connected to a local Intranet. Then, it does not need to be in Internet, the connection will only need to be accessing the local BD inside the network, right The point is that a thin client needs a connection to work (it doesn't matter if it is an intranet or internet) Smart clients can be made to work offline (i.e. you need to work for that to happen) - so that when they are disconnected from a server the user still has the ability to continue work on a local copy of the data a ...Show All

  does anyone know about the JIT types Pre-JIT :- Pre-JIT compiles complete source code into native code in a single compilation cycle. This is done at the time of deployment of the application.

When the same methods are called again, the compiled code from cache is used for execution. ...Show All

• The ZMan Workflow created in SharePoint Designer doesn't work ...

  Hi, I created a custom workflow using SharePoint designer. It is okay when the system admin (the one who created the workflow in sharepoint designer) submits an InfoPath form to the library and then the workflow has been started. However, when a normal user (even with Full Control Permission) submits the InfoPath form to the library and the workflow cannot be started. Any additional security setup has to be configured when workflow is created in SharePoint Designer Thanks so much. Paul If you are using SP groups in your workflow (for notifications, creating todo's and etc) make sure that the user who initiates workflow (by posting new form/document) is able to see members of the group. I guess the issue is that instea ...Show All
