[U2] Universe on Windows login setup
perhaps have a basic program run from the logic proc that could check @LOGNAME (the windows userid thats logged in via universe telnet), and if its the vendor user then EXECUTE 'DOS' which will then take them to the windows command prompt..

RE: [U2] Printer problem
Hi Pamela, As Paul mentions, host based printers don't have any onboard intelligence for executing page formatting instructions (no page description language controller board is included in the device). They require an appropriate printer driver to format application output for them. These drivers are usually produced for desktop computers running a Microsoft Windows OS product, MAC OS X, and sometimes for certain Linux distros. In the case of this HP printer model, the Linux drivers can be found on Sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/ To use a host based printer with Universe, you need to send reports to another computer in the network, with the appropriate driver loaded onto it, and then have that computer properly format the report before it is sent to the actual printer. Typically in Universe this can mean creating a raw printer with a script tied to it that executes the necessary lp or lpr command or building a remote printer description again using LPR as the delivery protocol. I posted a message titled Re: [U2] [UV] Win 2K3 Printer setup (Unclassified) into the forum on April 5, 2005, which explains how to configure a Windows printer driver to accept input from UniVerse or UniData and format the information into the target printer's language. I'll send you a copy offline for your reference since you can't reach the archives at this moment.

RE: [U2] Off topic: PCI Compliance
As Bob noted, the DSS is a global initiative by the major card brands. It is huge, and produces negligible ROI for all your effort, except it protects your brand name, which is no small thing. At least 1/2 of your effort is going to be other than in-house coding. a) Reviewing / Re-writing business processes/procedures in light of the standard. (Which will precipitate other code mods, not directly involved in your PCI implementation) b) Network scanning - initially and at regular intervals. c) Attack simulation - test your defenses. d) Response planning - in the event of successful penetration And if you are a service provider, the ante is even higher (if you process payment card transactions directly with banks, for others). Although the deadline has passed, there are more non-compliant merchants and suppliers than the PCI Council can bludgeon effectively. That, according to what our compliance officer is reading. However, this default mercy would naturally evaporate the second someone penetrates your data security. (Fine$) As for the encryption piece - it is reportedly easier with UV 10.2 but I still have questions about key management. Maybe someone who is on 10.2 or the UniData version that has 'Data-at-Rest' encryption at the database level, can respond and explain how it works, and fulfills the PCI DSS requirements. GPG provides the DES3 minimum requirement, and coming/expected AES requirement. The UniVerse ENCRYPT and ENCODE functions (10.0 or higher) are pretty good. Encrypt will do DES3 but won't handle key certificates. I have a simple workaround for outstanding IBM issue 8088. But these were only designed for 'Data-in-motion', not at rest.

RE: [U2] Off topic: PCI Compliance
Hi Baker, We too are looking at being PCI complaint. We have a Universe DB with SB+ and running telnet sessions on the client side. We're being told that the credit card data must be separated from the application onto another database behind another firewall. This adds the complexity of communicating with another database (non u2 product). Encrypting the data was just not enough. This is certainly turning into another Y2K (like) money spinner...
