Hello,

i'm going mad modifying one by one SAPGUI entries to put the flag on Maximize GUI.
I have tons of connections, could you please add the possibility to add this edit feature on batch edit?

Thank you very much

Best regards

Hello,

We will open a ticket to allow batch editing for add-ons. It's not a trivial change but I have a workaround for you that should help you accomplish this without much trouble. If you use the custom powershell command feature (right click > edit > edit (special actions) > custom powershell command), you're able to edit the value of the field with a script like this:

$properties = $connection.AddOn.Properties.replace('<MaximizeGui>false</MaximizeGui>', '<MaximizeGui>true</MaximizeGui>')
$connection.AddOn.Properties = $properties;
$RDM.Save();


You should only select entries that are SAP GUI. You can use the Advanced Search feature to filter only on SAP GUI entries.

Let me know if this workaround works for you.

Hello Hubert,

thank you very much for your super fast reply.
I tried the workaround you provided but it doesn't work 100%.
e.g.
If I modify 2 entries in one time, one of them has been modified correctly (and keep all login data), the other one has the login tab completely wiped out (and Maximize GUI flag unchecked).
If I modify more entries in one time, one of them has been modified correctly (and keep all login data), all the others have the login tab completely wiped out (and Maximize GUI flag unchecked).

Hello,

This doesn't happen to me (no information is cleared unintentionally), so maybe I am not testing under the same circumstances as you.
Could you let me know the following:

  • What type of datasource are you using (SQL Server, DVLS, XML, etc)
  • What version of RDM you are using (you can find the version at the bottom right of RDM, in the status bar)
  • Where are you performing this operation: a shared vault, or a user vault?

Hello Hubert,

sorry for the late reply.
The database I’m using is MariaDB, RDM version is 2021.2.16.0 and the vault is shared.

Hello,

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately I tried on that version and database type and I haven't been able to reproduce this issue. Very peculiar. If you have anything about your configuration that comes to mind please let us know, but I've also opened a ticket internally to see if we can reproduce this issue, as it's obviously abnormal.

Hello,

Our QA department told me they were unable to reproduce the issue and asked if you would be able to provide a video showing the steps you take to run the script, as perhaps there is something we're missing to reproduce the issue.
If you're able to do so, you can provide the video here: https://devolutions.sharefile.com/share/filedrop
Simply include "QA-2102" in the title so we can easily associate it with our internal ticket.

Hello Hubert,

unfortunately the database is full of sensitive data that I cannot show, let me check if i'm able to reproduce the issue with some dummy entries.
I'll let you know ASAP.

Best regards

Hello Hubert,

I created a new DB but I cannot reproduce the issue and as happen to you the powershell command works correctly.
In the past due some DB crash I've had some bad behaviors of the database generating ghost folders, I thought I fixed everything that time...
...but I was wrong.
At the moment I cannot do any test so please close the ticket and sorry to waste your time.
If I'll have the chance to investigate on this problem again I'll let you know.

Best regards
