505.0. "User Profiles and upgrades" by WELCLU::LI (Sau Ha Li, Welwyn) Thu Apr 16 1992 10:46

    Hello,
    
    In some user profiles on our demo/development ALL-IN-1, I have 
    noticed that some of the fields (new ALL-IN-1 privilege fields and 
    Create new group field) contain 1s and 0s instead of Ys and Ns. Is 
    this a bug ?
    
    The system has been upgraded from previous BLxxx to BL123 (the 
    latest?) and I was told that this problem did appear before, but I 
    cannot find any info on it in this conference.
    
    
    thanks in advance,
    Sau Ha

505.1should be fixedIOSG::TYLDESLEYThu Apr 16 1992 13:1322
    Hello.
    
    Yes, the problem has been fixed in BL123 (it involved the use
    of the /LANGUAGE qualifier SM$_LANG_YN_NUM on the affected fields). 
    Unfortunately, if you created or edited any user accounts with the 
    earlier, uncorrected, baselevels, they will still have 0/1s stored
    in the Profile. If you edit the affected accounts from the latest 
    baselevel, all will hopefully be well, and Y/Ns stored in the Profile 
    in all cases, not 0/1s. Please, let me know if this is not the case.
    Please beware that you have no customized versions of the following
    forms lying around from old V3.0 BLs, as they may perpetuate the 
    problem:
      SM$CREATE$PROFILE.FLX 
      SM$GLOBAL$EDIT.FLX        
      SMTEMPLATE.FLX             
      SM$PROFILE.FLX            
      SM$TPL$GE.FLX          
    
    Hope this helps,
    DaveT

          very soon to this.)
505.2problem: create new groupWELCLU::LISau Ha Li, WelwynThu Apr 16 1992 16:4721
    Hello Dave,
    
    Thank you for your reply.
    
    I had a look at the profile entry I have corrected the another day 
    and all the values look fine.
    
    However, when I use the template that I have created in the previous 
    BLxxx to create a new account, the Create new group field still 
    contains 0 instead of N. The value in the template is 0 too. So, I 
    assume this is the cause. everything is fine after I have changed the 
    template.
    
    Conclusion: I need to check the account templates as well as the 
    existing accounts.
    
    Is this a correct conclusion?
    
    
    regards,
    Sau Ha
505.3A totally unqualified responseAIMTEC::WICKS_AMore Ship dates than actual ShipsThu Apr 16 1992 20:2417
    Sau,
    
    In the absence of my fellow "closed-down" Welshman (:==:) who may not
    be back until Tuesday - all those holidays they have in the U.K!!
    i'd say yes that templates are a wise thing to check.
    
    Also for anyone else who has been through lots of pre-SSB and SSB
    baselevels be wary of things left lying around as permanent symbols.
    
    Deleting your and the system PST (and recreating them is a drastic
    alternative that works) but look out for those pesky 0 and 1 that 
    should be Y and N there also.
    
    Regards,

505.4no 0/1s anywhereIOSG::TYLDESLEYWed Apr 22 1992 10:406
    Andrew is absolutely correct - look out for 0/1s in templates as
    well, if you installed earlier field test baselevels.
    
    Cheers,
    DaveT
