[U2] How do I get the U2 Metadata Manager to work
Ever since we finally upgraded UniData at work I have been trying out the new tools and don't seem to have much fun with them. The best one is XAdmin and I use it a lot these days. IMHO the interface is a bit crude and clunky, but I guess that's Eclipse and you can't do much about that. The BDT is not of much use since I need to make tweaks of the program using AE (even if it only to make PRC work) but when I then open it again in BDT it reverts to the old version. Looks like it keeps that in memory on my PC so any changes made on the server are lost. Looks nice and shiny but the syntax check isn't really working either. 99% of the errors shown turn out to be no errors at all. The latest one I tried is the Metadata Manager. It installed fine and I can connect to the server and the database no problem. I can see the files and the dictionaries and can even change data on the server but that's it. The metadata tools I want to use are all greyed out, so what am I doing wrong? As stated in the Help I ran MIGRATE.SQL on the server but all I achieved is that I now cannot change anything using the old Avante Batch Schema Generation process. It goes through the motions but just hangs up at the end now. So at the end I am not overly impressed. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] How do I get the U2 Metadata Manager to work
Hi Mecki, have you reported this to support? Glad to hear you are using XAdmin a lot and we would be interested to get any reproducible cases of where BDT break (false positives on errors especially). There is documentation for U2 Metadata Manager built in to the tool, but if you cannot work out intuitively how to get things to work, that is also an issue we want to solve. Just send us the steps you followed, along with what you were trying to acheieve and what either didn't work or wasn't available. We are working on a UX project internally, so the more information and stories about where we fall down, the better.

Re: [U2] How do I get the U2 Metadata Manager to work
Hi Mecki, One think that I always do with BDT is right-click on the program, select refresh, then open the program. That seems to be the only way to make sure I have the current version. Currently, BDT is sort of working with PRC but it isn't honoring file ownership so I'm unable to let the programmers use BDT. You do need to get some programs from Susan for things to work as I have it now. I'm told the latest version of PRC supports BDT. We are currently testing the new version of PRC but I haven't had an opportunity to try BDT on this version.. As far as false errors, the latest version of BDT is greatly improved. However, I have noticed couple of false errors: 1) if the numeric subroutine label does not have a : BDT doesn't recognize the label (like 99*). 2) LOCATE(J,ORIG.PH,2;XXXPOS) THEN FOUND=1 ELSE FOUND=0 , BDT will report that XXXPOS was never assigned a value. There are other instances of this type of problem. One thing I wish I could do is edit records in hashed files, but I don't see how to accomplish this.

Re: [U2] How do I get the U2 Metadata Manager to work
I'll keep that refresh option in mind. Still a hassle and I would prefer if they would just get rid of that 'feature'. I also noticed that unassigned variable error that pops up for all functions including CALL that return a new variable. Some people may regard assigning a value before you use a function as good coding standard, I don't see the point, though. I haven't tried this in anger, but I recall that BDT treats all files as data files and you can edit data as well. Maybe this is a feature they could add to keep Dict files and hashed files separate so you don't have to look for the BP within 1000 data files every time. I have been using an external editor (mv developer) for several years now. I always save the program to disk, open it with ED, add a blank line somewhere and file it with FIBC. That takes care of PRC. Locking works when you open a program externally, so the only chance that someone could snatch the program ab incorporate it into another project is in that short period between saving in the external editor and opening it with ED on the UD server for the first time. Since I am the only UD programmer in the company it is virtually impossible that will ever happen. Well, and as long as you have OS.ED you can bypass PRC anyway. OK, if you NEVER EVER fix data with ED then you could probably remove it, but who would voluntarily block the only fire escape? We have a really old version of PRC (3.9) and I can't make a business case to invest in new software. There are other tools like mv.SSIS that I'd rather get first. Especially since tools like Rocket's Metadata Manager don't seem to work or I am too stupid to install them properly. I managed to get at least VSG to work on one SQL Server 2008 box, but that is a really primitive tool and I hate it. And I am still looking for a way to read data from a relational database in a Basic program.

Hi Mecki, It sounds like you are running a old copy of BDT. Unassigned variable warnings from CALL statements was fixed sometime last year. Follow the instructions here (http://updates.rocketsoftware.com/u2/) to make sure you have the latest versions. I can't recall which version, but if you are on too old of a release, that update site won't work for you, so you would have to download the full version again before you can use it.

Re: [U2] How do I get the U2 Metadata Manager to work
(Ad) XLr8Editor allows u to edit data, programs with out a refresh option, and any thing else. With our continuous compile option, you only see the real compiler errors. We have a before read option and and after write option to handle PRC. However our editor works with Git, Svn, Team Foundation and others, so U2 can play in sandbox too.

Re: [U2] How do I get the U2 Metadata Manager to work
I downloaded the March 2013 client tools today and will hopefully be able to install them tomorrow or early next week. So yes, my version of BDT is March 2012 IIRC. The Metadata Manager is March 13, though. I just ran the install with the default options, clicked on the program and selected the server already set up with UCI. This worked just fine with Xadmin and BDT and as I said before MDM also connects fine and displays all the UD accounts and files. But when I right click on a file all the MDM options are greyed out. All I can do is open the dictionary and maintain that. And what about my suggestion at the last U2U to make XAdmin use sudo so you can use all functions without having to log on as root? You may be allowed to log on as root on your test systems but my sys admin doesn't give anyone the root password for the production server.

Re: [U2] Signature Capture and use
I'm guessing you are not running a .net GUI frontend application. We have signature pads connected to our telnet-based Universe system. (a) We use AccuTerm to fire an exe on the client PC. (b) The client exe is a .net program with manufacturer's dll's that communicate with the signature pad. (c) When the user OKs the signature, the client exe sends the signature bytes to the application server via sockets, then exits. We had tried to use network shares for (c) but they proved to be unreliable. In a future version, I want to create a client exe with a socket listener built-in and run it like a service. That way, the application server can use a socket connection directly with the exe (instead of firing off the exe via AccuTerm). Theoretically, such an exe could be used via javascript in a browser-based application too. rex On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 3:59 PM, Oaks, Harold harold.o...@clark.wa.gov wrote: I'm sure some of you are implementing signature pad capture to a Universe system.

Harold, I created a general-purpose solution for this a few years ago, documented on my blog. I'd be very happy to discuss it with you next week.

Thanks Rex -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Rex Gozar Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2013 1:38 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Signature Capture and use I'm guessing you are not running a .net GUI frontend application. We have signature pads connected to our telnet-based Universe system. (a) We use AccuTerm to fire an exe on the client PC. (b) The client exe is a .net program with manufacturer's dll's that communicate with the signature pad. (c) When the user OKs the signature, the client exe sends the signature bytes to the application server via sockets, then exits. We had tried to use network shares for (c) but they proved to be unreliable. In a future version, I want to create a client exe with a socket listener built-in and run it like a service. That way, the application server can use a socket connection directly with the exe (instead of firing off the exe via AccuTerm). Theoretically, such an exe could be used via javascript in a browser-based application too. rex On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 3:59 PM, Oaks, Harold harold.o...@clark.wa.gov wrote: I'm sure some of you are implementing signature pad capture to a Universe system.
