RE: [U2] Two Questions
Cesar, 1. Yes, you can use either: A. The BCI (Basic Calling Interface) to open an ODBC connection to SQL Server from within UniVerse BASIC. B. You can use SELECT ... TOXML ELEMENTS statements to generate XML using UniVerse SQL if you want to move static data. C. You can write a program on Windows to pass data between SQL Server and UniVerse, using OleDB and UniObjects. 2. Yes, you can use either: A. RedBack. This is the IBM product for creating Web sites using UniVerse. B. Any scripting tool that can create a UniObjects connection (e.g. ASP). C. Various commercial packages (Visage, DesignBAIS and others). This needs either a very short answer, or a very very long one. Tell us more about what you need to do.

Yes, I used Delphi to create an ISAPI DLL (a DLL that interfaces directly into Internet Information Server). This uses the regular Microsoft XML parser to generate and interpret SOAP and XML RPC requests and a UniObjects pool to make calls to BASIC subroutines. The key things are: I map each subroutine argument to a named type. These can be simple (string, date, integer etc) or complex types made up of simple types e.g. an Order Header, in which case each type element is mapped to field in the subroutine parameter. Repeatable types, like order lines, are mapped multivalued. The gateway DLL generates WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) to describe each subroutine that has been mapped in this way. This means that tools like Delphi and .Net can automatically generate class definitions based on the types I have defined, and the code to call the web service. I started off parsing the XML on the server, but found that there were just too many variations on the SOAP/XML formats to cater for all of them in a BASIC parser - it became too slow and top heavy. So I moved everything to the web server and it works fine. If you want to know more, contact me off line.

RE: [U2]: Epicor
There are a few Epicor people that do read this list. They just tend to lay low unless the discussion effects them directly. I can say a that there are a few people still in the Manage-2000 group that are very good with the interfaces to U2. From my past experience with Epicor, they are a very good company for support, and regardless of how many developers you have, there will always be bugs in the software that require patches. Many times these bugs are not evident due to the fact that everyone will use the software slightly different. I think their long term plan is to take the many packages they have and migrate them all into one package that is all inclusive and database independent. Although making it database independent may be counter productive to their plan on consolidating the software packages. If you look at who the other choices are for software, I'd say Epicor is still one of the top choices. Especially when you consider the flexibility needed in dealing in a manufacturing environment. What are your other choices? JD Edwards? SAP? They are also trying to focus on integrating all of their other packages together into a complete solution. Kind of like cross selling. If you run ERP and want CRM then they want to integrate the 2. They have many initiatives that are good ideas, in my humble opinion, but it will take them years to make it work.

RE: [U2]: Epicor
Susan steps in, ugly baby on her hip Wow -- that wasn't a very strong endorsement of Epicor as a product. And I am surprised. I go to their user meetings all over the US and Europe and I have to say that there are a lot of really, really happy Avanti, Manfact and Dataflo customers around the world.I'm sure it has flaws and bugs -- I haven't met a perfect software application yet. But many people tell me that it has flexibility and functionality for many types of manufacturing and general ERP business applications that is far beyond what else is out there in the price range. But the part of this that brought me into this foray is the bit about how difficult patch releases are. This is something that I've been very involved with at Epicor. (PRC is the tool used internally and at customer site to manage the software configuration and the patches and releases.) Now granted, they don't do exactly the way I'd like them to. But they are a big company and for some silly reason they won't let me run it! Even so, I guess if they issue bug-fix documents and patch releases too frequently I can understand feeling overwhelmed. But let's face it, its a lot of software and the fact that they are working hard to keep it current is a good thing -- isn't it? One of the hallmarks of the success of the Avanti product has been Epicor's commitment to accommodating customization. To that end they have created a system for tracking, delivering and reintegrating what can be constant change. I heard recently that the ability to stay on current releases of Avanti and customize to your hearts content is well above industry standards. Most of the time you have to choose. Now -- there are some things that Avanti customers can do on their side that will help manage the constant influx of change. Things that many companies don't bother to do until the integration effort becomes cumbersome and then they may not realize how a few simple changes in procedure in-house could have a huge impact. I would be happy to elaborate on these simple changes but won't use list bandwidth on it. But get to me privately if I can help. I couldn't help but hop in, partly in defense of Epicor. Some good folks over there working hard to provide good solutions. But its more personal, too -- you may not have realized that you called my baby ugly. :) Susan Joslyn SJ+ Systems Associates, Inc.

Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 11:48:35 -0500 From: Debster [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2]: Epicor The Avante package I am working on uses UV. They seem to have Technical Bulletins on almost a bi-weekly basis of bugs within the system. The patches are a bear to install if there is even the normal end-user amount of customization on the existing system and a nightmare if it's extensive. Most of these bugs you find fixing well before the patch arrives if it's in an area that you utilize. There appears to be little to no respect for how Epicor handles support. Trying to gestimate learning curve for an individual is hard. What shortens the timeframe is the same for any package/tool. Just how familiar are you with the outside factors such as a extensive understanding of manufacturing business process flow and if you have ever utilized SB+ before. If you are unfamiliar with either than it of course extends the learning curve. I have seen both sides of the coin with other consultants at my current contract, one had extensive expertise in SB+ and very little Basic or manufacturing. The end result in his contribution was use of SB+ tools that were not utilized anywhere else within the Avante system, spaghetti in regards to the manufacturing functions, and misuse of SB+ tools where Basic was more appropriate. [Not even the illustrious SB+ guru Kevin King did that as he passed through their doors] On the other side, yet another consultant was unable to conform to the use of SB+ when appropriate. In other words, when enhancing, by conforming to the rest of the system it creates a better flow and less problems, it also strengthens your understanding of the system. I found Avante's extensive use of SB+ tools the biggest hurdle since other systems I had used it on primarily utilized it for forms and report design leaving the majority of processes to be written more in Basic. That is not the case with Avante, there is extensive use of paragraphs. I find this more cumbersome, more system use intensive with poor use causing gross inefficiencies. If you use debugger a lot to troubleshoot as I had in the past, it becomes a nightmare. You wind up using trace and display functions instead at various points to view what is actually occurring. Making sure you don't step on yourself as you pass through multiple paragraphs, screens to basic and back to the original screen depends on file use and preserving the work files utilized. Best bet when customizing Avante is to not screw too much with
RE: [U2]: Epicor
Three years ago, I did an Epicor Avante roll-out. Then, Avante ran on UniData and UniVerse, NT and Unix; I expect that it still does. It was a 400-person, annual sales $30 million UK battery comany, Hawker Eternacell, Inc., [part of www.Invensys.com] that was acquired by it's French rival, SAFT. SAFT moved the work from New Jersey to North Carolina. SAFT runs QAD there. After an in-depth review, we at Hawker settled on Avante. Other contenders [in descending order] were QAD, Glovia, Visual Mfg, Baan, and Fourth Shift. We did a big feature comparison matrix and had day-long demos from Epicor, QAD, Glovia, and Visual. The Avante installation was a major victory. Executives and end-users were rather happy with Avante and happy with Epicor. Feel free to contact me for further info...

RE: [U2] Include Equate record Errors Compiler
Dave, Just a thought - what are you using to edit the INCLUDE source? It is possible that the last line of the file does not end in a CRLF or LF (depending on the OS). I've seen that cause similar problems. If that is the case, go into each include in ED and FILE it.

RE: [U2] [UD] disconnected index
I've only seen this when moving around files at the OS level. I certainly wouldn't trust this index and would delete and rebuild it. Colin Alfke Calgary, AB -Original Message- From: Josh Marcus Has anyone ever seen a UniData file have its index become disconnected from the data file? I have a file that used to have indexes. I can verify that because I have a LIST.INDEX printout from a few months ago showing them. However, they are no longer in place. When I run LIST.INDEX against the file, it reports there are none. I checked at the Unix level and there was still an index file (X_TX.ARCHV) next to the data file. Not knowing what else to do, I tried to add one of the indexes back to the file. I got this: CREATE.INDEX TX.ARCHV TXA.CAMPAIGN TXA.CAMPAIGN: can not create multiple indices on same location After that, the index showed up in LIST.INDEX. Furthermore, LIST.INDEX tells me the index is built, and selections on the file behave like there are built indexes in place. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on here? Should I be concerned? The file in question is a dynamic file, if that is of any relevance. System info: UniData 6.0.11 on Tru64 Unix 5.1a.

I wanted to use the UniAdmin File Tool feature. However when I open the Account Folder I only see files that exist 'within' the account. Most of our files are spread out away from our uv account. LISTF has no trouble showing that file XYZ is actually /dbms/subdirectory/XYZ. The VOC entry for XYZ would look like: F /dbms/subdirectory/XYZ /hist/dicts/D_XYZ Is there a way to get File Tool to see these remote files? Can file tool be run without using UniAdmin? I'm using uv 10.0.8 and UniAdmin 1.0. Also - anyone know what uvfilefix_server is? Any help would be appreciated.

RE: [U2] Include Equate record Errors Compiler
The compiler is a C-routine, right? Maybe if the text editor doesn't get the right end-of-file character in there, then the compiler never sees the end-of-string \0 character in the C string array, so it just keeps parsing in the next character off into the never-ending ether At least until it creates some sort of memory addressing error -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 12:30 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Include Equate record Errors Compiler Adrian .. thanks .. i have gone through the equates and put a blank line on them .. it appears to be ok now.

RE: [U2] UV - file load discrepancy found by uvfixfile
Mark, File load refers to the percentage full the file is and is used by dynamic (type 30) files to determine when to split and merge. The file load is compared to the SPLIT.LOAD and MERGE.LOAD parameters -- if file load SPLIT.LOAD then the current group splits; if file load MERGE.LOAD then the current group merges. If the file load is discreped up it might cause inappropriate splitting / merging or lack thereof and could certainly affect performance. I'd think a resize might be called for -- would fix the file load and also correct the file's size... Hope this helps!

You don't mention which UniVerse version you are using there was an issue which was addressed a while ago. The file load discrepancy was an indicator and needed to be fixed (rapidly) as it could stop groups splitting (and merging??). The ones I saw went to a negative file load - and the workaround was to RESIZE. The fix was to upgrade. 10.0.19 release notes - Issue: 5195 When two different processes add records to or delete records from the same dynamic file, UniVerse no longer produces a negative load factor. Hope this helps Regards JayJay --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] UV: Using UniAdmin/File Tool
Nick: snip Is there an entry in UV.ACCOUNT for the account whose file you are trying to access? /snip Yes. Field 11 is populated with the unix path to the account. It's the only entry in the record. Here's my problem. UV.ACCOUNT knows about my production account. Let's say the path in the UV.ACCOUNT entry is /dbms/PRODUCTION. When I open FILE TOOL in uniadmin, only those files that are right underneath that path are visible. Such as: /dbms/PRODUCTION/HOLD /dbms/PRODUCTION/VOC but for my files that reside elsewhere, it simply doesn't see them... For example, suppose MFH.BP was in /hist/PROGS/MFH.BP, FILE TOOL won't see the file. But if I move MFH.BP to /dbms/PRODUCTION/MFH.BP, then FILE TOOL will see it. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

[U2] UD: ODBC/OleDB access to selected records in a file
We are having quite a bit of success writing reports with Crystal Reports, using ODBC to access our UD6 database. We have gone through the exercise of flattening files, creating new dicts, etc. It's slow, but we are usually able to get what we need. We serve up the reports to the users with Crystal Enterprise and Apache. We are not, however, able to take advantage of one (IMHO) of the most powerful features of a U2 database, the ability to manipulate sets of id's through the use of SELECT, SAVE.LIST, GET.LIST, MERGE.LIST, etc. We have a very large library of UniQuery paragraphs which do multiple selects on multiple files, saving foreign keys, eliminating duplicates, etc., to arrive at a final savedlist of id's of records to be put on a report. Currently we use this list of id's to write a report in UniQuery. We would love to be able to write this report instead in Crystal. There would be no SQL SELECT at all in the Crystal report, the selection of the proper records having already been accomplished by the server-based procedure. The natural, or so I thought, place to do this sort of thing is in a stored procedure. I got as far as seeing the stored procedure name via the OleDB driver, but was unsuccessful in actually seeing any data. Many e-mails and phone calls with our VAR and IBM later, we were pointed to a place in the UD documentation where it says stored procedures are not supported by UniData. We have racked our brains and have been unable to come up with a workaround for this gaping hole in the ODBC/OleDB interface to UniData. Before we give up entirely and resign ourselves to putting out paper reports with UniQuery, I thought I would ask this group if anyone has solved this problem. Anyone?

RE: [U2] [UD] disconnected index
Josh Marcus wrote: Has anyone ever seen a UniData file have its index become disconnected from the data file? I have a file that used to have indexes. I can verify that because I have a LIST.INDEX printout from a few months ago showing them. However, they are no longer in place. When I run LIST.INDEX against the file, it reports there are none. I checked at the Unix level and there was still an index file (X_TX.ARCHV) next to the data file. Not knowing what else to do, I tried to add one of the indexes back to the file. I got this: CREATE.INDEX TX.ARCHV TXA.CAMPAIGN TXA.CAMPAIGN: can not create multiple indices on same location After that, the index showed up in LIST.INDEX. Furthermore, LIST.INDEX tells me the index is built, and selections on the file behave like there are built indexes in place. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on here? Should I be concerned? The file in question is a dynamic file, if that is of any relevance. System info: UniData 6.0.11 on Tru64 Unix 5.1a. The index for a dynamic UniData file is not stored as X_file. Instead, the index is stored in idx00n partitions inside the directory that holds the primary and overflow partitions. Is it possible that someone converted this file to dynamic recently and the index conversion part of the process didn't go through properly - maybe because of permissions? I've seen scenarios where over zealous system administrators imposed a 0111 umask which meant you could create a new directory for a dynamic file, but couldn't subsequently do much with it because you couldn't list its contents! Anyhow, the X_TX.ARCHV is certainly not related to any indexes on TX.ARCHV if TX.ARCHV is really a dynamic file, in which case TX.ARCHV will be a directory at the OS level. You CAN disconnect an index from a file but leave the OS index files in place, but you either have to have some file corruption, or someone playing cleverly (or stupidly) with fileview. I'd strongly recommend you check the VOC pointer for TX.ARCHV and make sure that the one you are looking at at the OS level is the same one being accessed when you are inside UniData. I'd then check if it really is a dynamic file, and if so, then simply rename your X_TX.ARCHV as something which will remind you to delete it after a day or so. Then run guide against the file to check for any corruption, fix that up with fixfile, and then re-address the indices question. If LIST.INDEX shows you that there really is an index, run guide_ndx against it and consider doing as Colin suggests and DELETE.INDEXing everything before CREATE.INDEXing them again.

RE: [U2] UD: ODBC/OleDB access to selected records in a file
Jim, Probably way to late in the day, but there are a number of non-ODBC/OleDB solutions that might have solved this problem for you. Names like mvQuery, Informer, and our own Visage.Reporter come to mind. I assume the other products have something similar to our facility where you can CALL a subroutine that returns a list of ID's to be processed, and we don't really care HOW the list is generated in the first place. So, as to the problem at hand, would a variation of the Drumheller Trick work ? SO that you operate on a file with a single, known key, BUT the field that you return is actually the result of a subroutine which has the necessary logic in it to manipulate your select lists - and from there traverse to the real file ?

RE: [U2]: Epicor
Sorry Susan Your baby ain't butt ugly but no mother thinks her baby has flaws... But -- I've worked on alot of packages, and yes even extensive tier 1 packages that are well out of price points for some. Yes with Avante there are alot of bells and whistles, but ofttimes when trying to be all things to all manufacturing markets you miss the mark by being too convoluted to use effectively without customizing it to meet the individual company needs and throwing out a good portion that you paid for. Remember KISS? Sometimes simple is better, or something geared toward more specific target market, ala flavors like we are all familar with. Problems do arise with Avante and trying to administer the patches without total disruption. The location I am at was virtually shut down for more than just a day or two due to patches in the past. Even when initially bringing the system up, they were shut down due to screw ups by Epicor tech reps in regards to system set up functions. I know its your baby, but I loathe the fact that you are forced to utilize PRC. Granted my current location runs the light version along with the fact that there are few software version control systems available for the U2 market, but I have utilized more open home grown systems that provided better ease of use while providing just as much or a higher level of control and deployment functions. Sometimes the client actually does know best when administering their system controls. Even though there may be many happy as a clam Avante users, and you see those in attendance at user meetings, but what percentage does that represent of the actual number of end-users? Pissed off customers rarely attend those functions unless it's to sit at the back of the room and heckle. Someone asked for an opinion from users, and I gave it from my 15+ years in manufacturing as a resource...

And I am surprised. I go to their user meetings all over the US and Europe and I have to say that there are a lot of really, really happy Avanti, Manfact and Dataflo customers around the world.I'm sure it has flaws and bugs -- I haven't met a perfect software application yet. But many people tell me that it has flexibility and functionality for many types of manufacturing and general ERP business applications that is far beyond what else is out there in the price range. But the part of this that brought me into this foray is the bit about how difficult patch releases are. This is something that I've been very involved with at Epicor. (PRC is the tool used internally and at customer site to manage the software configuration and the patches and releases.) Now granted, they don't do exactly the way I'd like them to. But they are a big company and for some silly reason they won't let me run it! Even so, I guess if they issue bug-fix documents and patch releases too frequently I can understand feeling overwhelmed. But let's face it, its a lot of software and the fact that they are working hard to keep it current is a good thing -- isn't it? One of the hallmarks of the success of the Avanti product has been Epicor's commitment to accommodating customization. To that end they have created a system for tracking, delivering and reintegrating what can be constant change. I heard recently that the ability to stay on current releases of Avanti and customize to your hearts content is well above industry standards. Most of the time you have to choose. Now -- there are some things that Avanti customers can do on their side that will help manage the constant influx of change. Things that many companies don't bother to do until the integration effort becomes cumbersome and then they may not realize how a few simple changes in procedure in-house could have a huge impact. I would be happy to elaborate on these simple changes but won't use list bandwidth on it. But get to me privately if I can help. I couldn't help but hop in, partly in defense of Epicor. Some good folks over there working hard to provide good solutions. But its more personal, too -- you may not have realized that you called my baby ugly. :) Susan Joslyn SJ+ Systems Associates, Inc.
