Thanks,

Jeff's suggestion fixed the problem. We have a custom MDL application which let's the user select the project he is working and input the required credentials.

Thanks, this seems to fix the problem.

Is there some other new functionality related to database linkages?

I'd like to learn it all but couldn't find documentation for these new configuration variables anywhere.

Where should I start?

Unfortunately we can't use the standard Powermap database login screen as it displays the password in plaintext.

This is usually the message, when the application first starts up and you dismiss the standard database connection. This functionality is also prevelent in Bentley Map, so it is not limited to PowerMap. Do you start up powermap with a XFM Schema or some sort of workspace that can set the database connection ?

Kirmo,

This behavior is caused by the fact that the "Connect to Database" dialog was cancelled w/o providing RDBMS login credentials. Since you are connecting to your RDBMS using a db= keyin you should be able to add MS_GEOXFM_DISALLOW_INFERRED_DBCONNECTION=1 to your workspace to allow editing of elements with database linkages.

And I'm using PowerMap V8i (Select series 1) - Version 08.11.07.86
