| This parameter decides how BCSSearch.ocx displays the available BCS servers and programs to the user. This can be in either two separate combo boxes or in a single one. You have three different settings, with different capabilities:
"Extra" - the control displays two combo boxes; one for the BCS and one for the programs. The user first has to select a BCS and only then is the second combo box filled with the programs, which are available on this BCS. Next the user can select one or multiple programs to be searched within the second combo box. The advantage of this setting is that it is not necessary to define the available programs in the registry, because they are read from the selected BCS. The disadvantage is that the user cannot search across multiple servers. "Hidden" - the control displays only one combo box for the programs. The BCS is derived implicitly form the chosen program. For this purpose it is necessary that all available services are listed in the DigaSystem registry below "Digas\PlanServer\[ServerName]" and that each program name appears only on exactly one server. "Combined" - the control displays a single combo box, which lists a hierarchy of available servers and below them of available programs. Like for "Hidden", all programs must have been listed in the registry. This setting is the most flexible one. It allows the user to search across multiple servers and programs and works even if a program name appears on more than one server. Please note that for all three settings it is possible to remove a BCS from the list of available servers by the parameter: Digas\PlanServer\[ServerName]\HideServer=TRUE. |
