Re: [U2] uv v ud

Four things architecturally have helped me when using UO - the first couple
may be too late but the fourth may be useful:
1. I only use UO to call subroutines. These have a common calling interface
so there is a single dispatch point in the client where I can add logging
and a despatch routine on the server where I can also add logging. It means
some constraints but they can be got round. Also, I've learned the hard way
to cut large strings being passed back - the despatch method checks the
length of the outgoing argument and has a 'more' flag set to get the rest of
it. Cutting to 32k is safest.
2. This approach also means I can use a test rig to check the subroutines
independently of the client, which can help identify issues.
3. If I need to watch stuff in real time, I have a global logger that acts
as a socket client. I can therefore send stuff to it from both the client
and the server to get a complete end to end trace, which saves a lot of time
otherwise spent trying to line up client and server logs.
4. Remember that UO.Net calls are single threaded.. so ensure you are using
lock{} structures (VB SyncLock) around your calls. .Net may have events
interfering with each other.

Re: [U2] uv v ud
All good advice Brian, we do the same with points 1 and 2 re just calling
subroutines and doing logging if needs be to file, i also have a simple php
interface to the backend so we can test the backend standalone without
uniobjects or .net - which is very usefull. The data size is interesting and
something I shall certainly be investigating is 32k the actual limit ? Where
did you glean this information ?, also point 4 intrigues me - i don't think
this is required in an asp.net environment, where i have a webservice, with
an open connection, call, close connection? For both pooled and non pooled

Hi Perry
One of the new features in UniVerse 11.1 is the concurrent build of indices. I
would suggest being very careful in using it as, to my knowledge, it could have
an impact on your performance. From the new features Pdf: BUILD.INDEX filename

Re: [U2] uv v ud
Brian and Symeon, since mv.NET is wrapping UO.NET, the issues you mention don't apply: - Bill isn't managing the UO.NET API calls, so he has no control over them. - Once the connection is established, only one client process has access to any given server connection. Therefore, no multi-threading. - mv.NET actually does interface through a BASIC call as described. Regarding large items, I'm not sure what's happening at that level but I believe it's handled properly. I would comment that a return value should not cause a component like UONET.DLL to log a vague error without throwing an exception, and that if this is a recognized issue that it should have been addressed a long time ago. If there are function calls that are known to be flaky outside of subroutine calls, I would also hope that these have been documented and passed to RS for resolution. The next step in the diagnostic for anyone with these mystery logs would be to put Symeon's trace flags into web.config. That information can then be sent to RS for comment.

Yep, the same behavior still happens. The issue is: On AIX 5.3 (Technology Level 9) You can do the following: -Call Universe from a php script from a shell. So if I do: php -f scriptname.php The php script, is changing the directory and firing up universe. Everything works fine from the shell. -If I run that same script through the browser (i.e. Apache 2.2 on AIX), then universe will crash with: An error has occurred during uniVerse initialization Please contact the system administrator Error code: 4 22 Rocket's suggestion is to run it with nohup, which did NOT work. Its not a permissions issue. I made them wide open (777) as a test, and I can call the php script from the shell of the user that Apache runs as, and they work fine- Universe fires up and does its thing. Universe does not get to the point to where it can even call the login proc. It crashes before it can even start.

As a workaround, you could try u2pipe: http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?U2pipe You wouldn't need to install it as a inet service, just use it as a pipe. For example: echo display 42|/usr/local/bin/u2pipe (or wherever you install it) To configure u2pipe, you edit /etc/u2pipe.ini to enter the user, password, and account.

Thanks for all of your replies. Thanks to Bob Woodward for the shell environment idea. Thanks to Kevin King for his help. Apache sets extra environment variables when compared to the shell of a regular user. One of these environment variables is called: LDR_CNTRL Apparently it has something to do with the way AIX handles the memory space. See: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/javasdk/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.java.doc.user.aix32.60/user/aix_ldr_cntrl_page_sizes.html Apache seems to set the following when it starts a session: LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x8000 If you set this to null in a php script, then Universe will run just fine.

Re: [U2] Anyone submitted postage statements using mail.xml?
We don't use Mail.XML but I've done integration with USPS as well as most of the major parcel carriers. Are you doing pull-only, push-only, or both? If you're submitting docs then that's pull. If USPS sends you a notification then that's push. If you're only pulling, then you don't need to worry about setting up processes to handle incoming XML, as far as I know. I've not seen any information suggesting that call-backs or post-backs are used in pull-only situations. You should definitely read the entire Mail.XML guide if you're writing an interface from scratch. There may be a library for PHP, but I've not checked. I could not find a Perl module that simplifies using the XML service.

Re: [U2] Anyone submitted postage statements using mail.xml?
I created an interface with USPS a few years ago in a product which was shelved due to overwhelming lack of field interest - perhaps I just marketed this one poorly. (nospam.pleaseNebula-RnD.com/products/ship.htm) The XML exchanges worked quite well and as I recall there were very few issues. The documentation examples were complete and helped to ensure that I understood the proper request and expected return values.

Re: [U2] LED editor for Universe
UniObjects (UO) does consume a seat. At least with XLr8Editor you can chose to lock or not lock the item you editing not sure about the others editors. In a multi-programmer environment nothing much changes from the locking perspective. However, if you are using a LED you cannot do anything else. The program you are editing takes up your entire screen you cannot do anything else in that session. You can add functionality to LED like AE allows you to execute other commands with a colon prompt, but that is not even close to normal functionality in today's world. You can open up other programs in many tabs, copy and paste using your mouse, hit F3 to bring up INCLUDES/INSERTS or even subroutines if the cataloged in the VOC file. That is the big difference with the Eclipse based editors like BDT and XLr8Editor and maybe the same with mvDeveloper as well.

Re: [U2] Error 4 22 from PHP exec of uv on AIX
When John and I were working on this we noticed that the LDR_CNTRL
environment variable wasn't set at all on a normal telnet login. When we
DID set it manually on the telnet session, Universe wouldn't start with the
4 22 message. So the simplest version the script was basically like this
(and forgive me as I'm reciting from memory):
?php
$current = getenv('LDR_CNTRL');
putenv('LDR_CNTRL=');
exec('/u1/uv/bin/uv');
putenv('LDR_CNTRL=' . $current);
?
John has been working on this more after we got this far so I'll defer to
him for more details. Note that all this script was proving was the ability
to start UV successfully from a PHP script invoked through Apache. There is
more going on with moving data in and out of UV using JSON, which allows
massive amounts of structured data to be moved into and out of the
environment.
