I'm having difficulty with two commands with
Cumulus Client 5.5 (on OS 9.2.2) connecting to
Cumulus Server 5.5 on OS X 10.1.5:
1) The manual from Canto "Cumulus 5 and
AppleScript" gives the following syntax for
connecting to a server:
tell application "Cumulus"
set theServer to connect to server "server" user
"user"
end tell
Seems simple enough. However, when I type
exactly this**, Script Editor won't compile it
saying that it was expecting the end of line and
highlighting the first quote mark of "server".
Even stranger is the command itself "connect to
server" is not color coded like other commands.
"connect" and "server" are colored as variables
and "to" is colored as an operator. (I can only get
it to compile to see this when I comment out
everything after "connect to server", which of
course doesn't work.)
When I then inspect the Cumulus Client
dictionary in Script Editor, I don't see the
command "connect to server"! I'm fairly certain
that it's supposed to be there. It's in the manual,
it's necessary and it doesn't say "Enterprise
edition only". (We have the Workgroup Edition
with 5 client licenses, if that makes a
difference).
**(Well, almost exactly: I substitute application
"Cumulus Client" because that's what I'm using
and "server" is the IP address, "user" is the
username, both as strings.)
2) "open remote catalog" won't work either, and
I'm thinking it might be related to the other
problem. I can do this:
tell application "Cumulus Client"
open remote catalog "catalogName" on "tcp/ip
address"
end tell
This will open the catalog, but throws up the
dialog to log in the password and then logs in
as guest. This is not what I want. If I add the
optional parameters:
tell application "Cumulus Client"
open remote catalog "catalogName" on "tcp/ip
address" as "userName" login password
"password"
end tell
I get a strange message that "catalogName"
doesn't understand the open remote catalog
command. In the event log, the command is
showing raw event codes instead of text for
some commands, so I suspect there is
something missing (perhaps it uses the
command above). I don't know of any osax I'm
supposed to install, it's all supposed to happen
through Cumulus Client.
I'm sure I have the user names and passwords
correct in the catalog and script. I'd appreciate
any help or insight you can provide. Thanks in
advance!

ps please copy any responses directly to me
since I'm on digest. Thanks!
