Re: [U2] UniVerse on Windows unclassified
Check one of the working users to see if the DBMS path is in home directory in AD. I'm pretty sure you still need to enter the path there if you set network services telnet User Policy to Home Directory. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Kathleené M Hunter Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 7:58 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] UniVerse on Windows unclassified David, Have you client look at one of the users that is working. You will find that they are an admin on the UniVerse box. If they want the user to be prompted for the account. If they want the user to log into a specific account then they need to change the user policy on the telnet services to be ANY UV.ACCOUNT and then place the user in the UV.LOGIN and then they will go to that account. Note I have found problem with this working on some versions of UniVerse and Windows with a DNS other than the UniVerse Server.

This new user, when they get the Telnet log on and put in their user name/password is NOT being asked for the path to account they want to go into. They are being 'dumped' into the UV account. And then they cannot 'log to' anywhere else. The customer swears this new user is built just like all others -- a Domain User with 'User Rights' on the UV Server. Rocket tech support has said the is fix is that users HAVE to have Admin rights in order to be prompted for the 'UniVerse account' Something seems wrong with that answer. I mean, I am guessing it will fix the issue, but I hate passing out Admin rights when the real answer is probably something else. So -- What else might be the cause here?? (I am WAY more UD than UV, so any idea will likely be something I have NOT tried yet!)

Thanks for those kind words, Jerry. Charlie On 01-16-2012 10:16 PM, Jerry wrote: I can vouch for Charlies code because I still work on some that he wrote over 13 years ago. Universe is much more forgiving on 'nix systems. On Windows, not so much. Of course that may be because 'nix systems are more forgiving than Windows. When I come across code such as the one that started this thread, I usually figure it was done by someone that knew they wouldn't have to work on the code again. It's good to learn new and better ways to program but wisdom should tell you whether or not it should be used. Most of us, on this list, have been programming for several decades and know what we had to go through to get to this point. If we want new programmers to jump on board we need to remember what it took and give them a break. It's nice to show off but does it do your company or clients any good if others have to take days, even minutes, to figure out what you did.

I usually try to code to the common denominator, within reason, of course. Over my 34 years in the biz I've been through a lot of conversions of one MV to another. The most dreaded part was finding and fixing things that worked on the old system but not on the new. Universe is famous for being very forgiving and figuring out what you really meant. Jbase not so much. We spent a lot of time on issues like that.

From: Charles_Shaffer Aside from it not being readable, compacting C code like that can reduce portability. Different compilers may evaluate complex, compacted code differently. Same thing has actually happened with BASIC code that's ported from one platform to another. Rule of thumb: Don't get cute. Spell out the code so that any dumb compiler or programmer can read it. On-topic: that makes my response to this thread, not. One of our colleagues from the mid 80's wrote code that was so clean I liked to say we could eat off of it.

One difference between a smart programmer and a professional programmer is that the professional understands that clarity is king.
