Was there any more updates on this? We have a TON of parts and labor assigned for an aircraft but need to change the tail and customer and it would be great if it was possible just to change those in the header.
-
We just got the new form from support.
If you need this, open a ticket with support. They need to verify it will work with your version of Quantum. -
Component Control sent this update to all Customers on Friday.

I am running v12.2.14 and it appears it is using v1.2.13 of Log4j.
I found several copies of log4j.jar under our QuantumDB folder. I examined them using 7-zip and navigated to the META-INFMANIFEST.MF which lists the Implementation-Version as 1.2.13. -
I spoke with Support today. They confirmed that the Core Quantum modules do not use Log4j, but the Docs/Images module and Event Manager module do use Log4j. Support says the impact should be minimal because these items run on the server, which is behind a firewall.
The dev team is still researching and vetting options for mitigation. I am expecting to see a formal email blast with more info coming from CC in the next day or two.
Until then, I would say you should make sure that access to your Quantum server is restricted to just your System Admin or IT team. -
I have reached out to CC management to get an update on this. I will report back to this thread when I hear something.
-
Thank you for this info Matt. Did you happen to get a bug tracker or Jira ticket# when they acknowledged the bug?
-
That’s how I setup on Contractors, but they only use the Barcode app for clocking on/off of jobs and TA time. they never log into the Quanum client proper.

We do something very similar to what Ian said. Create the receiver with an Unknown Receipt, and then reject the receiver.

So I did some testing in Training and I came up with this code. It uses a true/false UDF (7) that I labeled “AutoClose Tasks EOM”.
UPDATE WO_TASK
SET WOS_AUTO_KEY = 2
WHERE WOO_AUTO_KEY IN
( SELECT WOO_AUTO_KEY
FROM WO_OPERATION
WHERE WO_UDF_007 = ‘T’ )– all WOs where UDF is checked
AND WOO_AUTO_KEY IN
( SELECT WO_OPERATION.WOO_AUTO_KEY
FROM WO_OPERATION
WHERE WO_OPERATION.OPEN_FLAG = ‘T’ ) — all WOs that are open
Next I am going to work on scheduling it. I have used the Custom SQL Event in Event Manager for queries, but not for updates like this. I need to figure out if I can just use that, or if I need to get creative writing a stored procedure, or a batch file with Task Scheduler that runs a sqlplus script.
Any suggestions from the hive mind?
-
Is it as simple as UPDATE WO_TASK SET WOS_AUTO_KEY bla bla bla? Are there any triggers I need to worry about?
-
Yes! How do I do that? I don’t see an existing event in EM for changing the status of a WO.
-
I had a similiar problem with our Barcode app. Users wouldn’t see that it was already running, and use the shortcut to start a second instance.
All of the solutions here involve the server-side, but for my barcode problem, it only occurs on a few workstations, so I added a schedule task that runs whenever the computer goes idle. The task runs this bit of PowerShell.
get-process GenericBC -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | select -skip 1 | Stop-Process -Force
-
Another trick to fix this in Windows 10 is to go to the display settings and under “Multiple Displays” pick “Duplicate Desktop”
-
We use https://www.msdsonline.com/, and we do not currently have any of it linked with Quantum.

And if you happen to be moving to a different VM like I did during my recent upgrade to Window Server 2019, you will need to copy these files as part of your deployment script
\QUANTUM-SERVERQCLIENTQUANTUM.LOC >> C:QUANTUM
\QUANTUM-SERVERQCLIENTTNSNAMES.ORA >> C:ORACLEPRODUCT11.2.0CLIENT_1NETWORKADMIN”
Upgrades / Quantum Versions,2/9/2021 10:08,Pietro Race,CRYSTAL REPORTS ERROR POST 12 UPGRADE,3,https://www.quegroup.org/f_upgrades/10032055,https://www.quegroup.org/Sys/PublicProfile/4537456,If anyone is having crystal report errors post 12.xx upgrade. The trick is to delete all the client files except for quantum.exe and quantum.Loc and run as admin. Problem solved. It was a pain to so on 30 machines but at least II didn’t have to call support ,Pietro Race,gents the problem with crystal reports not working post 12X upgrade is the qccrystal.dll it doesn’t get overridden and is not being used on the new release. If you delete it then crystal will work again and there is no need to create another folder etc.. thx p

It’s a bug but I have not tried getting a bug tracker for it. I hope someone else has.

They document imaging encrypts all new images. If you connect to images from your website or documents or anywhere you will no longer able to do this. CC requires you to use their API. I havent Heard the cost yet but I am Sure there will be. Anybody had any experiences with this yet. I am Getting tons of pushback thx p,,

We didn’t have CR problems post 12 upgrade, but I was advised to use the method you described ahead of time by Tim @ PSI.
Based on his code, I built a PDQ Deploy package around this powershell script and used it to update 90+ PCs in about 10 minutes.
#May need to modify based on domain policy
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Scope process -force
#Removed everything except the LOC, EXE, and to locals directory
Remove-Item -recurse c:quantum* -exclude quantum.loc, quantum.exe, locales
#Run as Admin – The Quantum client will re-build
Start-Process “C:QuantumQuantum.exe” -Verb runAs

We actually use this module, and for the most part, it does what we need. There are some quirks around things like Shifts that are a little weird, but once you understand what is going on behind the scenes, it’s pretty simple.
One disclaimer is that we are currently not directly integrating with payroll software. Our Finance Manager populates the payroll software based off of some custom Cystals Reports that output in CSV.

If you are familiar with Windows Performance Monitoring, setup a monitor on the server that includes Disk Queues. You may have enough RAM and CPU, but if your storage gets laggy, it will have a huge impact on system performance.

Hi Andrew,
You are correct. you will need to write your own query. I agree with Pietro that it’s better to have control and understanding of the scope of your query.
The only other type of “filtering an existing dataset” that I could think of would be setting a style on a custom Crystal Report, but I don’t think that is what you were looking for.

Here are some instructions I wrote up after attending a workshop at the 2019 conference.

Thank you so much Mike!! That’s it!!

Do you have any way of identifying those special missions and who initiates the printing of the pick ticket?
I’m thinking if you can identify those special mission by the user you can then program the pick ticket to pop up warning messages to that user before it’s printed in the parts department.
We do a different WP auto-number log for Special Missions. I could key off of that.
How/where would I setup a pop-up warning message?
Thanks Clinton!

As far as visibility goes on those BOMs, you could create a custom event manager event that will look at the Image Code of the documentation attached to the BOM reservation and notify the WO Manager of BOMs that do not comply with needed Image code/Condition Code combination.
This is a really interesting approach! Some of that documentation is in there, but of the options I have so far, this may be the easiest to implement.
Thanks!

Nate do you have anything in the system that identifies these parts as complying with these more stringent Requirement?
Unfortunately we do not at this time, but I had a similar idea.

Thank you for this input. It’s one of the ideas we were entertaining.

How would we do this? Can you share more detail?
Thank you!!

Thank you so much Mike! I was so close and this was exactly what I was looking for.
Cheers!

I’ll take a look. Thanks Pietro.

Thanks Dave! This is what we used to do, but with the most recent update in Quantum, we can no longer edit a line if it is linked to a Purchase Request.
