Question

Quick Fields 9 qfx

asked on February 4, 2016

Hi all,

We use 30 qfx sessions and within each session multiple document classifications and within each document classification we have 3 lookups. In the last 5 years the servername and database name was changed twice, meaning in Quick Fields the database connection string must also be updated. We used custom made scripting to do the changes.

With Quick Fields 8, the qfx is readable, so the custom made script is able to do the change like the following;

            <Location>

              <HostName>LF_ProductionDB</HostName>

              <ServerInstance />

              <DatabaseName>LF_Client_Import-Amsterdam</DatabaseName>

              <LocationType>ServerDatabase</LocationType>

            </Location>

With Quick Fields 9, the qfx is not so readable, like the following;

 <SessionData>HP8pl9u8irB2rp/JLihmZuXF9dDoobUqkO55m7sA9zk2jYILcSEWopJegVDJJ4+oYq9Hme2ifQXLIeAqUo87ppSYb+Ibic

Is there an alternative sollution, cos changing 30 qfx times 30 doc class times 3 lookups is close to 3000 changes if the custom made VBS cannot be used?

That's a password protected session. It hasn't changed for Quick Fields 9. If you take off the password and save it, the XML will be readable again.

--wrong answer : see Miruana's post above about password protection!

 

I'd change two of them manually on the same session and see if the sessiondata key is the same. Then you can try copying that one to the third, then try copying it to another session completely.

Hi all, thanks, indeed that was the answer and the sollution, save without password protection, run the vbs and after that save with password protection. Plus, I found out that QF 8 is showing a bug, even save with password protection, the qfx is readable

Sessions with an admin password only are readable. Sessions with an operator password are encrypted.
