I installed MKS server and MKS Client on the machine. I started the Integrity service but in the server log I am getting below error:Unable to startup Security Service: Service mks:name=ServerTimeZone not started due to errors: Timezones and/or daylight savings settings don't match. Database: America/New_York, server: UTC” Can anyone provide suggestion on it .

Is there any way to get a progress of an attachment download when im extractattachments is used? Basically I am trying to find out when an attachment has finished downloading. Do any of the different response types give this? (IResponse, ICreationResponse, IActionResponse, IBaseResponse, IViewResponse)I am using the API for Integrity 10.5.

I have two users who are reporting that when the client is not maximized, F5 is not refreshing the window. When it is maximized, F5 works just fine. This doesn't happen on either of my computers. They are using Windows 7. I am using 7 and 8.1. Has anyone seen this behavior and found a fix for it?We are running Integrity 10.5 with no hotfixes.

When I try to break a lock or drop a member I get the following error:"The Source server cannot communicate with the Integrity server because the Integrity server version is too old. Please contact your Source administrator."Why? I am the administrator.

Dear Community, I have a big problem: When our ALM was created. A fva field ExternalLink was binded unfortunately to a shorttext field. I would like to add to this field RichText content; hyperlinks (to svn, doors and so on) As I understand the richtext format is only possible with the longtext type. Longtext has more possibilities as shorttext, but integrity does not allowed to change the Field value of my fva to longtext type Field from shorttext tye field 😞 We are using v10.4 We will do an upgrade to v10.7, does it support such a hm.... trick? 🙂 Does somebody have any ide how to deal with this problem? How to cast shorttext to longtext? (My nightmare is to go thoughout every items ExternalLink field and copy them value to a ExternalLink_RichText field 😞 ) Thanks in advance Józsi

Hi, guys.I have the following tree hierarchy:-folder1: - folder2/ - ... some content ... - project.pj - project.pjLet's assume that I drop folder2. If I create again the subproject folder2 it will come back with all its content (from what I read in the documentation, PTC is restoring its last archive of the folder2 subproject). How can I avoid this behavior? I don't want PTC to look on the server to see if existed an old version of this folder2.If this isn't possible, is there a way to find out if folder2 existed before adding it again? All this operations are made from CLI. I think si archiveinfo should solve my problem, but I cannot managed to make it work... Thanks in advance. 😘

When I create a sandbox, the browse dialog box is missing the up/new/list/details icons in the upper right corner. I think it might be related to comdlg32. Anyone know how to get these icons back?MKS Integrity Client 2009Build 4.10.0.9049Service Pack: 006-01Thanks/jeff

Integrity will not allow access by an Admin user to edit any Requirements Documents. I have checked that server is LDAPing correctly, that permissions are OK at global, project and type level. What else should I investigate?

We have created about 80 test suites that use Project level parameters. Now the power that be insisted we conform to a standardize parameter naming convention. I now have to update all my parameters, about 300. I need either a progmatic way of searching and replacing them or maybe there is a means via the GUI for doing this?

Currently, we are running a three stage environment of Dev, QA and Production and using promotion to move changes through the life cycle. Our currentl issue is per our methodology QA actually has an addition stage, User Acceptance Testing (UAT). To get the best productivity, we would like to start UAT as soon as QA does some standard sanity testing at which point we would like QA to continue their formal testing while the Users do theit UAT. So as to prevent the two groups tripping on each other we want them to use the same code base in separate environments adding an additionla UAT server to the current 3 stage model, so promotion would be DEV-->QA-->UAT-->Production.   Does anyone have a similar requirement and have they implemented this or another solution with success?   Thanks in Advance

Can Project level parameters values be updated either through the java dll or command line inteface

I upgraded from Integrity 10.6 to Integrity 10.7. The issues I'm having is the "Integrity Server 10" service fails to remain in "Started" status. My logs show the following:FATAL [mksis.IntegrityServer] Service AppConfig not started due to errors: Service mks:name=IM not started due to errors: Unable to start IM service: Incorrect syntax near '.'.I had to roll back to Integrity 10.6.The steps I took for upgrade:1. Stop the Integrity Server 10 service via cmd line within the 10.6 bin folder "mksis stop"2. Remove the service "mksis remove"3. Installed Integrity server 10.7 using 'Upgrade of an existing server"4. Ran "isutil -c migrateserverconfig'5. Started the Integrity Server 10 service via cmd line within the 10.7 bin folder "mksis start"It proceeds to start then stops on it's own with the error below.FATAL [mksis.IntegrityServer] Service AppConfig not started due to errors: Service mks:name=IM not started due to errors: Unable to start IM service: Incorrect syntax near '.'.

Hello,can one staging server be used to support different production servers, even if the production servers are configured with different solutions to fulfill requirements for the medical and the automotive sector (ISO 13485, ISO 26262)?Thanks in advance.

Is there a method for updating the Project level parameters via the command line interface?

I'm creating a plan to upgrade our MKS Integrity 2009 SP7 (AIX) test server to PTC Integrity 10.6 (AIX). In the is.properties file there is a setting mksis.hostname=mks-test.Server URL is http://mks-test:7001. The actual name of the server is something different. I changed the hostname setting in the is.properties file to ptc-test. I stopped ans started the server using mksis stop and mksis start and I saw errors in the server.log:2015-04-14 07:33:20,103 DEBUG [mksis.IntegrityServer] DEBUG(0): mks.frame.client.ConnectionException -- mks.frame.client.ConnectionException: MKS124871: Could not establish server connection (it may be down). Details: Error resolving hostnames; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: ptc-testWhat did I miss?

Hello,I have a Setup with three Monitors and I am using the PTC Integrity Client 10.5. I always have the Client in the third Monitor, while my main Monitor is the number 1. Is there a way of forcing the PTC integrity Client to open new Windows (e.g. prefences, Issues, etc) in the Monitor where the main window is located?Thanks in advance.

The release information for Integrity 10.7 shows that shared sandboxes are deprecated.Unfortunately, we are using shared sandboxes in the following scenario:- Several software developers create software and put it into a shared sandbox residing on a network drive- Various guys in testing field and production (without access to Integrity Source) use the software to flash devices.With the Sandbox on the network drive, we always know if the server contents are the same as the network drive contents.We really don't know how to do this in the future, if we ever want to update to >=10.7.We know that the existing shared sandbox solution has its pitfalls, but it worked for us.Eliminating an existing feature is not good practice and not very customer friendly.If we cannot update, we do not really need a maintenance contract....So any suggestion for a workaround?

A table is added as a requirement. Updates are made to each cell. When you highlight the cell (it turns blue) and delete it total, you can no longer edit the cell. For example, if you hit the delete key until the text is gone, then you can enter the new information. If you highlight the entire cell and click delete, you can no longer enter text in the field. How can I unlock this cell? Has this happen to anyone?

Is there a way to format text as a subscript in document?
