Grab a copy of the pdf's and use them. That's more readable than the help files. I'm lucky in that we have a few high speed printers here that can do double sided pages.

RE: [U2] Triggers docs?
Dan, I haven't found any additional documentation but I have come across a serious gotcha. Once you add a trigger to a file it is a SQL file. There is no going back short of creating a new table. This makes it difficult to move data between INDIAN's (sp?). I have been unable, even using FORMAT.CONVERT to move data from an AIX box to Windows. If someone else has managed to get this to work, I'd appreciate the info.

Re: [U2] Triggers docs?
The manual is a bit skimpy on triggers. Any supplemetal docs around? We're trying to track updates to a file; individual items have gone missing lately. No SQL involvement at all. Sorry, can't comment on Universe. For unidata, here's some brief docs I wrote after digging. I found info in 'Developing UniBasic Applications' A trigger is a piece of code (subroutine) that is executed when one of two things happens: a record is written (updated) or a record is deleted. These two event are separate, that is, the subroutine to execute in each case may be different. Some Unidata trigger commands: LIST.TRIGGER filename CREATE.TRIGGER filename subroutine_name UPDATE CREATE.TRIGGER filename subroutine_name DELETE DELETE.TRIGGER filename UPDATE DELETE.TRIGGER filename DELETE Some trigger notes: 1. Subroutines for triggers must be globally cataloged. That is: :CATALOG subroutine_name 2. Triggers may only be created/manipulated by the owner of the file at the operating system level or have root permissions on UniData. What you use a trigger subroutine to do is up to you. Here's a sample template: SUBROUTINE subroutine_name(X.EXECSTAT,X.DICT,X.FILE,X.ID,X.REC) * * This subroutine MUST BE GLOBALLY CATALOGed! * JVB Jeff Butera * H08 Hampshire College * * EXECSTAT=2 says to allow the record to be written (when we exit * this subroutine) but use the record as in X.REC (ie: we may manipulate * it in this subroutine and it'll use the edited copy, not the original) * X.EXECSTAT=2 After that, you're free to do whatever you like in native Unibasic. The variable X.REC contains the entire record to be written to the database file X.FILE with the ID X.ID. The EXECSTAT variable, when set to 2, allows you to possibly manipulate the record in this subroutine before the record is updated/deleted. -- Jeff Butera, Ph.D. Administrative Systems Hampshire College [EMAIL PROTECTED] 413-559-5556 There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those that understand binary and those that don't.Various --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Here is link that might be helpful: (works for both UV UD) http://www.mindspring.com/~tpackert/unidata_tricks.htm I have used the index-trigger method to track and record all changes to a file.

Not necessarily so...

I used the pseudo-trigger method in UV 9.6. Although you cannot tell a DELETE during the trigger firing I did determine the DELETE status during log file processing by doing a read of the file.

RE: [U2] Triggers docs?
I should think a little longer before pressing send... It's not that easy to catch a delete using this kind of trigger. You can test for a new record by trying to read it, if it's not there then this is a new update. But since the trigger is called only once for a delete, it gets pretty ugly to trap for this condition. The best answer I can come up with on a Friday afternoon is treat every first pass as a delete, then un-do whatever you did to track the delete on the second pass (if there is one). That is a particularly heinous solution, however. There must be a better way to do this.

RE: [U2] [UV] Web Services for Dummies
Please see my four articles on Web Services and .NET, originally printed in Spectrum Magazine from 2003-2004. Magazines are here: http://www.intl-spectrum.com/SPECTRUMMAG.HTML HTML versions here: http://../articles/ I also have an article there called SOAP for people who don't do protocols which is a follow-up to my What are Sockets? article. In particular, Universe doesn't really play a part in Web Services per-se, unless you use socket coding to make it into a socket client and/or server. I'd recommend against that approach. To make Universe a web service client: - Use mainstream tools like .NET, J2EE, or Perl to create a WS client to an external service of your choice. Web Service sources publish WSDL which identifies the API to their service. Mainstream tools easily create WS clients to conform to the server side. - Then create a pipe from your new WS client into U2, to function purely as a data transport. For this you can use UO, UO.NET, MV.NET, PDP.NET, RedBack, or other tools described in this forum recently. To publish U2 business rules as a web service, follow the same pattern: - Use mainstream tools to publish WSDL and accept inbound WS requests. - When requests come in, connect to U2 to run BASIC programs, run rules, and build a result set. - The data from U2 can be built into XML, ready to be passed out through the Web Service, or you can pass back simple data and let your Web Service wrap it properly prior to returning data back to the client. I've written Web Services to/from MV platforms using .NET and Perl (not together), and am prepared to develop end-to-end solutions for VARs or end-users. I hope that helps.

(if anyone has a workaround to get ObjectCall working on hp.ux/udt 6.1 I'd be interested.) In answer to Ken's failing memory, the unix admin program is uniapi_admin; on Windows (6.0 and above) we have resorted to registry hacks to administr ObjectCall. My advice to to rewrite your application as IBM are no longer supporting ObjectCall... I have been trying to get rid of ObjectCall for sume time; unfortunately it just quite refuses to die!!! (we use it as part of our DataStage solution). One good thing though, our experiences with 6.1 will finally deal the fatal blow to our use of ObjectCall... Martin N.B.

When we change the uniapi.ini to point to the test server, and refresh our login asp page,the connection fails . The web page uses a 3rd party pclogin.dll and I have no idea what is inside. I am assuming Objectcall. It should be opening a connection to unidata and reading a username-password record from a table. However , there must be something on ( or missing from) the unidata unix server itself that is causing the problem Unirpcd is running , and the unirpcservices file looks OK ( must be if Objectcall ping works). Is there anything else I should be looking at? ObjectCall doesn't go through unirpcd and has nothing to do with the unirpcservices file as far as I know. You'll find entries in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf on your live UniData box I think which relate to UNIAPI or something similar. You need to set up similar entries on your test box. The key component is uniapisvr IIRC. I think there is a server admin program for it too, but it has been such a long time since I played with ObjectCall and I don't have access to a box where it is running at the moment. Cheers, Ken PS. Well played New Zealand. Not many people expected the Black Caps to be competitive. For what was billed as the fastest deck in NZ, Christchurch has provided a pretty flat track. Do you think it will break up on the 4th and 5th days or is it just dead? --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Triggers docs?
Hi Dan, Attached is a document I wrote (for our monthly newsletter) to use triggers. The example is to trap record corruption, there is coding for both UniData UniVerse. We found the culprit within 10 minutes of implementing the trigger! There is a cost to using triggers though I measured it on UniData 5 found that an update with a trigger took something like 10 times longer than an index based trigger (though the real trigger is so much more functionally rich!)

Scott Ballinger wrote: The trigger is normally called twice: the first time you get the original @RECORD, the second time the new @RECORD. If an item is new or being deleted, then the trigger is called only once. I use named common to track of where I am and to save old @RECORD, so that I can test: if this is not a new item, and old @RECORD is null, then this must be a delete. Scott said in an earlier post that he was talking about a pseudo-trigger implemented by creating a secondary index on a SUBR I-type. It may well be that such index routines are called twice, but real TRIGGERs aren't. Certainly on UniData they're not.
