Hey publicvoid. I've got a real old version of Symposium (3.0) and I've been battling this problem for a number of years. In a nutshell the realtime data is not in any of the public views available. The only option is to some how find the sa password which nortel will not hand out. (If anyone...

I had a thread regarding the symposium SA password and someone recently posted by Mihalis (I was auto notified of the new post by email) but the thread is no longer there. What happened? Mihalis, can you repost here? Thanks.

Did you ever find the password for sa? I'm trying to get in to my database as well.

I have a feeling the info is kept in the e* tables. But using a symposium login will not give you permissions to those tables. I'm assuming you need to have the sa password to get to those. Do you know the sa password to you Sybase install?

If that is the case, what database and table is it using? Can you get to more information with a user with more permissions? If there is a way to tap in to this database that would solve a ton of obstacles. Anybody know?

We're taking about this on this forum. Not sure if you've checked it out. We are taking more about sowing RTD on a webpage, but there are some other solutions listed.

That would be nice, now wouldn't it. But unfortunately symposium does not keep realtime info in the database. You can only get a minimum of 15 min increments out of the symposium database. All realtime information is transmitted through a data steam over the network. So that won't work. Unless...

This is actually a client side javascript. The user's web browser pulling the image on a regular basis. But I understand trying to keep the costs low. If anyone else needs the script let me know.

If you need it, I've got some javascript you can use that will auto refresh the image. That's what we are doing here and it seems to be working well.

That is currently what I am doing for RTD's. It's a pretty dirty hack though. It will have to do until we shell out the cash to upgrade to the latest verion with web client.

That stinks. Thanks for the info.

Do you know where that RTD tollkit is? Is that on the client or server CD?

I think I found the answer. You can use the same user and password from the client and it seems to connect just fine.

This may be out of the scope of this forum, but I and going to start pulling data from the SCCS Sybase database with PHP. I need to get a user setup in the database to use wen conecting. Anybody know the procedure for this?

Unfortunatly my distributor does not know what version that would be. Do you know a version number that will work on XP for SCCS 3.0 server?
