Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Administration

Using Dynamics support for customized login windows

During the startup of a Dynamics session it is necessary to translate the data on the login window. Unfortunately, the controls on the login window are not known until the data is retrieved by the client.

This means that an AppServer request must be made to retrieve the login window information from the AppServer, and a second AppServer request is then made to retrieve translation information for the window. To avoid the extra AppServer request for translation information, code is added to the cachelogin.p procedure that retrieves the login window information to automatically retrieve the translation information for the default login window—aftemlognw.w.

Many users do customize the login window, though, and to ensure that this is possible, the functionality that retrieves the translation information also supports retrieving the same information for any login window that contains the character string "lognw" in the name of the login window.
