I’ve thought about this a number of times now – tracking individual’s historical results etc. Getting the data loaded wouldn’t be a big problem, but then doing different things with it could end up exploding into a lot of additional work. You also have to consider the number of wrong BG numbers, incorrect spellings etc, which makes data sanitising a high priority item too.
I’ll put it on the roadmap!Hi Neil, the ‘auto restart’ feature that was added for v10 only applies to scanning for results, not reconnecting to the database. I shall take a look at adding some sort of auto re-connect attempt as well, but seeing as you had to restart the PC to get it to recover, that suggests the underlying Windows network stack was in an unrecoverable state – not much VScore can do to fix that tbh.
As a general rule, always get the server booted first, check TScore runs there, then fire up the clients, then launch TScore and VScore.This has been fixed at v10.0.9, which will be released in the next few days once it has been verified by the customer who reported the problem.
These two bugs have been addressed in build 10.0.21, which should be released in the next couple of days.
It is possible to hit problems arising from different computers using different network protocols. If your main computer connects ok, TScore never has to take corrective action to enable the the pg_hba.conf file so it can accept connections from your local network. If you then connect a second computer that uses a different protocol, it may still fail to connect, and will be unable to change the pg_hba.conf file.
To fix this, you need to manually locate your pg_hba.conf file. You should find in in your PostgreSQL ‘data’ folder.
Edit this file in notepad and file the section that defines network permissions.
Insert the following lines to enable all computers on your network:host all all fe80::0/64 trust
host all all ::1/128 trust
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host all all 192.168.0.0/16 trust
host all all 172.16.0.0/12 trust
host all all 10.0.0.0/8 trustIf you want to lock down access to specific computers (for example, if you are allowing guests onto your network), then see the PostgreSQL forums and documentation for help. We can also point you in the right direction!
Update – improved error reporting has now been added to Version 10.0.15.
You should now be told in more detail why an Import or Export attempt failed, so you can fix the problem.
If there are any messages that don’t lead you to a solution in the above post, just put them into this thread and we will sort them out!Could R&C results tell you if there are no eligible qualifiers rather than print an empty list?
(Response: I tried this and just got the R&C judge asking me where that class was, so I had to go round and try again, only to realise there were none. Sometimes having a list with no qualifiers can be useful).
Could TScore let me add a standard ‘trailer’ message onto all emails – This will be along the lines of “Please contact xxxx for any judging queries, xxxx for any etc.”
Could TScore let me add a set of email addresses to automatically ‘cc’ on all correspondence? Not everyone is explicitly listed on the entry forms.
Could TScore add a Total Entrants count at the bottom of the Clubs report in the Timetable file please?
Could TScore cross-reference R&C scores by BG number, so we can replicate the R&C scores on both results sheets?
Could TScore warn if flights accidentally overlap? This can easily happen if you add entrants after timetabling, or if you drag flights together but they don’t quite ‘latch on’.
Coordinating the Range and Conditioning exercises with the main competition and fitting it between that and the presentations can be challenging.
Also, running presentations when other disciplines are competing can mean that a winner is unavailable to receive their medal.
Could TScore come up with a clever way of helping here?
Maybe the ability to put ‘Presentations’ into the timetable with the ability to dynamically detect clashes with competitors in medal positions?
