Subject: [U2] [UD] Who's locking a record
In UniData, if you do a READU you can find out the User ID who has the
record locked by using the STATUS() function; this returns the 'UID'
value. Here's a list of users:
3 Dev (0)- lu
Licensed(UDT+CP)/Effective Udt Sql iPhtm Pooled Total

4 3840 197608 udcsuser udcspts/4 udcs 09:23:08 Jan 28 2014
Now, if John Smith goes to read and lock a record that is locked by port#3,
how can I figure out which port# actually has the record locked, since the
UniData GETUSER() function only returns the UID, and that user, because it
is a UniObjects user, is connected on more than one port#?
I have a file managed at login that keeps track of the PORT#s and the
associated users assigned by our application. I want our logging to report
that a record lock by user so-and-so on port {n} is already in place.
Thanks.

Here are some key observations and discoveries so far: - The WRITE statement has an ON ERROR that is not being executed. - Just before the WRITE statement, FILEINFO shows the file is OPEN and has a permissions value of 6 (R/W). - It does not always fail but when it does fail, it will continue to fail on that input file every time the program is run from the Windows Scheduler. - If I run the program directly, from my logged in session, it works perfectly every time. - Every tool I have says there is nothing wrong with the file I'm writing into. - There are 3 indexes on this file but they are all flagged to allow duplicates. - There are 2 triggers on this file that monitor and report for specific record ID's. (Very basic/simple logic.) I've pretty much exhausted ways, and things, that I know of to check for. This is a very specific problem that is somehow related to the data that is being processed.

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists
I think you would be more surprised that an executed select wasn't picking up an active select list :). I do recall getting burned by UniData's select handling while we were transitioning from D3. I had a Y2K program that would go though files and change a 2 digit year that was part of the key. D3 would drop the select where UniData wouldn't and it totally hammered a major file. eg in UniData you can go SELECT CUSTOMERS WITH...; DATE; LIST CUSTOMERS and only see the select list; however, D3 would drop the select list with the date command and the list would list all. In this case, you just don't want it to use the select list as you're trying to do something different. Usually, we have a little more control over where things start out - but it looks like you're trying to create a dictionary item that you intend to use all over the place. UniData has the REQUIRE.SELECT option for lists to make sure it only runs when there is an active select, but I can't think of anything that would ignore an active list. Compounding the question is how does the active select list work while in the middle of the actual select. Like I said, it would be nice that list 0 would contain everything up to that point, so you could save it, process something else, re-activate it and continue selecting. However, it's not hard to imagine someone optimizing the select process might not including this permutation in testing scenarios. The unibasic select works well for ignoring the active list, but necessitates processing the entire file. I think in most cases, we've already had a dense index in place that we can read instead of doing the nested select. hth Colin -Original Message- From: Kevin King Sent: September 24, 2012 3:03 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists Thanks for the information.

Re: [U2] READU vs READ
Dave; A couple more things: - do you have any other processes running at the same time? I found (long ago) that a couple of our big processes ran 5X faster consecutively than they did concurrently. - subroutine calls with file opens. I inherited a process that was running for 3 days and was 65% done. I put all of the file opens in common (well, the file variables) and re-ran in hours. You may want to re-think posting some of the code. There can be some efficiencies found in processing large dynamic arrays. You said it wasn't code you wrote - so try to take the criticism as constructive :) hth Colin -Original Message- From: Tom Whitmore Sent: May 1, 2012 5:50 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] READU vs READ Hi, The question of READU vs READ when you are doing updates is moot. If you do a READ then a WRITE, UniVerse/UniData will perform the record lock. The only difference is with READ you are gambling that no one else is updating the record before you perform your WRITE. Performance, as others suggested, there are several things to do: Tune your files. If you are using dynamic files, make sure you have the MINIMUM.MODULUS set to reduce the shrink and merging If the records are lumpy redesign them so you have a header file and a detail file, with detail files being individual records for the associated values. Use LIST.INDEX with the STATISTICS option to see if you have huge index value, you may need to refine the index. Check your hardware, you may have a bottleneck due to slow disk, I/O pipe. Minimize the number of times you go through the associated values. Use READU with the LOCKED clause, if the record is locked, add logic to queue it up and try the records again once everything else is processed (WRITEs will hang on a lock if you don't have the LOCKED clause, just like a READU without the LOCKED clause.

Re: [U2] UD - Account Permissions
It kind of looks like a missing write permission somewhere. I would try the VOC in MyAccount, see if you can write to the 'Q' pointer. Telnet is a little different. I tells customers that they need to setup the telnet user so that they are able to login at the console. Older versions of Windows had defaulted permissions on users that allowed this, the newer ones don't - although I haven't had to setup a 2008 box. It sounds like the user can telnet in though - just to another account. We were lazy when setting up our accounts. We simply have a group created with full permissions on the UD folder and then we put everything under it. A little funny considering our target market - but over 20 years I only had one security related incident. hth Colin -Original Message- From: Bill Haskett Sent: April 17, 2012 5:13 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] UD - Account Permissions Colin: The funny thing is, this is a local user. The network doesn't use a domain (it's a server network). I'm a valid user and I can log onto any other dbms account. When I try to telnet into this one account I get: Unable to set current directory to E:\Advantos\MyAccount But, I log into another account, set a 'Q' pointer to MyAccount's (VOC) file, or any other file for that matter, and I can list the contents of any of the files. This tells me the permissions are fine. UniObjects has no trouble connecting to the account and neither does mv.NET using UO.Net (I'm using a user id that is a member of the UniDataUnique group). This particular user can't telnet in either. When I try to telnet in using my credentials, which happen to be the owner of everything under the dbms account's directory, it fails too.

We run Windows 2008 R2 and UD v7.1.12.

I propagated all permissions down into the directory. So, every object, within the account directory, gives full permissions to me and the group UniDataUnique. I assigned the group UniDataUnique to the DesignBais user (the user authorized to access the dbms via UniObjects). I cannot login via telnet. I can login via UniObjects through DesignBais. I can log into another dbms account, create a Q pointer to the voc of the restricted dbms account, and list the contents of the restricted VOC. I can't list the Q file if I'm anyone else. Is there something peculiar with telnet that I can't log into this account? Naturally, when I add the administrators group to the account's permissions I can login via telnet.

I used PRC to move this to PILOT, but when I run the process in PILOT, the screen never displays at all, and I start getting the SB.DISP messages as if I had hit F2. I have deleted the process and screens from PILOT and re-loaded - no effect. I have made changes to the process and the screen in TEST and re-loaded - no effect. I am not getting any errors, it just does not display the screen and immediately starts running the code as if the user had hit F2.

Re: [U2] Corrupted compiled code
I tried VCATALOG on a directly catalogued item and received the same error. The help does say it checks the global catalog file.

I did make sure the problem occurred after I disconnected. I was using a UO connection and made sure the connection was killed, logged off, and tried again with the connection restarting each time I tried again. I also ran the Dell hardware tests and all results showed no problems. The weird thing about the checks, a few days ago, is one of our beta testing clients was running checks all day. It was just me that was having problems. Secondly, the other problem we were all having was limited to one dbms account. The same code ran just fine on all the other accounts. Last night I restored the application code account from a few days ago. A look at the date/time stamps for the _ object code shows nothing unusual. One program was recompiled during the last total recompilation on Aug 19, while another was recompiled on Oct 24. Thanks, Bill - Original Message - *From:* WTerhune You might try checking the source/object with VCATALOG after a problem occurs and before you recompile. What I'm hearing Bill say is that object code on disk has changed (apparently). As someone else suggested - check time/date of object also to see if this has changed after what you believe to be the last compilation. If a problem occurred, but did not re-occur after exiting and starting a new udt session - that feels like 'flaky memory' or some problem with udt.exe that has corrupted the memory for that process (think exception violation). If the only correction is to generate new object code (that presumably is not identical to what had been used), then you start thinking about disk or utilities that could touch files/objects on disk.

Re: [U2] [UD] Corrupted compiled code
Ouch. I've never seen that. Did you check the time/date stamp on the compiled code? The only vaugely similar thing was data files getting corrupted. But that was only on writes and the problem was with some driver issues with the drive controller and network card. You may want to check with Rocket to see if there are any known issues - or create one Colin Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 19:40:19 -0800 From: wphaskett To: U2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] [UD] Corrupted compiled code I've been using UD for a number of years. I'm currently using v7.2.7. Occasionally, the compiled code gets corrupted. I notice when a client calls and indicates something doesn't work. Today I couldn't create an A/P check. After a few hours I tracked down the following message: In E:\Abo\BP\BP\_APCHECK at line 60 can not use debugger for background job In E:\Abo\BP\BP\_M.APCHECK at line 343 Phantom run basic error, exit 4. Line 60 of APCHECK looks like: IF GUIMODE THEN SuppressCRT = 1 ELSE SuppressCRT = 0 I figured I'd left a DEBUG statement in APCHECK when I called M.APCHECK (which executes APCHECK from a phantom). I didn't! Everything looked good. I finally added a simple VOC debug-record-writev to theAPCHECK program , recompiled it and reran the process. All worked fine! I took out the debug code and everything works fine. So, recompiling was all it took because the object code was corrupted somehow. Yesterday, I spent 12 hours tracking down an intermittent browser crash for one of our clients and finally came to a BUILD.HEADING program I've been using since 1995. What happened was that SYSTEM(2) was returning the value 1024 instead of 80. So, when I created a three line heading and centered stuff on each line, instead of 30 (or so) spaces created on each side of the heading line I had about 450. When the heading info was added to the ECL command the line was too long and barfed when it was executed. No error message appeared anywhere so it was with a lot of effort I was able to track this down. Upon adding a writev-debug-line and recompiling, everything started working just fine. I removed the debug line and all is working well. Naturally I've recompiled everything and rebooted the server, but this is a major pain in the a$$! Does anyone know why code that's been used for months, and maybe years, would get corrupted like this? Everything is compiled with the '-Z2' option and all cataloging is local (DIRECT FORCE).

Re: [U2] End of Month date routine
That's better. It wasn't the ';' in the last one that caused the problem - especially with a generic routine - it was the reliance on the date format being m/d/y (which Dave's original noted).

This will *always* give you the last day of the previous month. Always. Then we add enough to jump us into the next month anywhere, doesn't matter at all. And then do the same trick again, which will *always* give you the last day of the month in which you are running This is a fantastic bit of magic.

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1.22 Index Issue
We came across this a few years back when moving and copying files at the OS level (usually copying the data file but not the associated index). What's even easier than creating a dummy index (especially on a large file) is to simply copy another files index (X_smallfilename) to your working file (X_STUMAST). Then you can do the DELETE.INDEX STUMAST ALL. hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -Original Message- From: regalit...@aol.com This information has been extremely helpful! I had 11 files have the indexes go bad on them, and they needed to be completely rebuilt. The only anomaly is that the DELETE.INDEX fn ALL didn't work right away. There was an index on the file, a V-field, called XERP.SQLTRIG. When the index went bad, it was there, but not really there. On a file called STUMAST for example, I would say: :LIST.INDEX STUMAST No indices created on file STUMAST : Then I would say try to create the index: :CREATE.INDEX STUMAST XERP.SQLTRIG XERP.SQLTRIG: can not create multiple indices on same location No new indices are created : So UniData sort of knows the index was there, but it doesn't really know.

Re: [U2] PE72 Unidata will not start
Check your logs under @udtbin - especially smm.log and smm.errlog (also double check them in @udtbin\saved_logs). There may be some clues in there.

Re: [U2] Job scheduling in UniVerse
We've done this for years - as long as you don't care that a program contains the login credentials for a SB user. In the login process (prior to the SB.LOGIN) we check various parameters (we run under UniData so they're a little different) and then simply data in the user and password to the SB.LOGIN program. Set up this SB user to have a specific terminal type and printer (so it won't prompt) and then in the Start Sys,Menu,Opt setting enter values that will cause a menu item to run that does what you want. Of course, if you don't need the SB environment to run whatever it is you are trying to run then you can skip the SB.LOGIN and run it directly (just make sure it won't then return to the SB.LOGIN).

Re: [U2] Epicor and Eclipse
Probably not. I haven't looked at our contracts and I've only had a quick scan of ours with Rocket so I'm not sure of the definition of application. If you wrote a report or new interface maybe OK. If you wrote something to keep track of your CD collection - likely not. I'm not sure if it's just us or not (it sounded like Epicor has the same terms with Rocket), but we don't get full licences from Rocket for UD/SB+ - they are for the embedded application. They are significantly cheaper than the full licence - we've got some abnormally good terms from Rocket (at least that's what they keep telling us). Of course, we may be able to upgrade to full licenses - but we've never had a client that required anything like that, and since we've sunsetted our MV application the point is pretty much moot. If you ever go work for a law firm - give me a shout. That's what we do (just not with an MV based application). My original point was simply that Epicor's claim may have been valid. It sounds like you've got lots of valid grievances with them but this may not be one.

Re: [U2] Simple FMT question
John's correct - you're likely in BASICTYPE 'P' which requires the format X = FMT(X,'R%4') - note that it will truncate the value if it's more than 4 characters. I usually just to a simple LEN check first: IF LEN(X) 4 THEN X = FMT(X,'R%4') If the basictype issue has you confused then I would strongly recommend you not set/change it. Simply realize which you work in and work with it. Most of the help/documentation is for 'U' format - but standard pick documentation should show the syntax required. The UD docs *usually* note when there are basictype differences but don't always make them clear.

The problem is the fill character, in this case the number zero, but what I get back is just the letter R, without the quote marks. I get pretty much the same result no matter what fill character I use. I simply want to format a number to be 4 characters long with leading zeros. If X=1, then it should result in X=0001, or so I've been lead to believe. I know that X = (:X)[4] works to get my results but FMT should work, too.

Re: [U2] Found something interesting.....Bug or No Bug....that is my question?
George - it's not so much the with - I think it's more the =. It's a case of it doing precisely what you ask as opposed to what you are thinking you are doing. The = is creates selection criteria otherwise it considers whatever follows as a record ID and ignores the outstanding select list. Bill - don't forget the REQUIRE.SELECT keyword in UniData. It tests the select list for you. You can even combine them and get consistent (albeit even more confusing) results. Eg: SELECT FILENAME # EXISTING_ID 54 records selected to list 0. SELECT FILENAME EXISTING_ID 1 records selected to list 0. CLEARSELECT SELECT FILENAME # EXISTING_ID 54 records selected to list 0. SELECT FILENAME = EXISTING_ID No data retrieved from current (S)SELECT statement. SELECT FILENAME # EXISTING_ID 54 records selected to list 0. select FILENAME EXISTING_ID REQUIRE.SELECT 1 records selected to list 0. CLEARSELECT select FILENAME EXISTING_ID REQUIRE.SELECT No active select list. Processing terminated. Hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -Original Message- From: Bill Haskett I'm not sure about that. This, I believe, has always been the case. I've always had problems worrying about whether the 1st select returned anything; that's why I always do a SYSTEM(11) test after the initial select, and rarely use the trick of loading TCL commands into an array to execute all at once (unless I know for sure this condition won't occur). UD v7.2.7 responds as I've always expected: 5 Dev (0)- BPTEST CMD = \SELECT SOMEFILE WITH INVNO = 1234567\ ; CMD-1 = \SELECT SOMEFILE 3 71*1\ ; EXECUTE CMD ; END Compiling Unibasic: SAVEDLISTS\BpTest_334914081 in mode 'p'. compilation finished No data retrieved from current (S)SELECT statement. 1 records selected to list 0. ...which treats the 2nd execute as its own if the 1st execute returns no data from its select.

Re: [U2] Installing UniObjects on Windows 2008 64 bit
Sorry I don't have a 64-bit server for testing; however I was searching the kb yesterday (looking at how to install SBClient on 63-bit) and found a couple of articles that may help. One indicated that you should run the installer in Windows 2003 compatibility mode and the other was to change the CPU type (in Visual Studio) to x86 from AnyCpu. The first sounds like it would help and the second doesn't look like it will help until you actually compile/create something. Take a look at the Rocket Knowledge base (or ask your support provider) for more info. hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada From: Jim.Stoner Hi, Thanks for the suggestions, folks. So far, I haven't made any progress. I did install the UniData client by right clicking on the installer and using Run As Administrator, while also logged in as an Administrator, with the same results. After David's email mentioned a missing dll and registering them manually, I tried to investigate that possibility. I'm not very familiar with that aspect of Windows systems administration, though, so I don't really know exactly what dlls are required. I looked in the C:\IBM\UniDK\redist\i386\register subdirectory, and made sure that all of those files were present in my C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory (they were). And then I opened the command prompt (with Run as Administrator), and tried using the REGSVR32 command to register each of those 8 files, including uniobjects.dll. In each case, I got the message DllRegisterServer in c:\windows\syswow64\uniobjects.dll succeeded. However, I still don't see the UnioaifCtrl class in the OLE/COM viewer that comes with the Windows 7 SDK, and I still get the error when I try to call the object in my Domino agent. The one new piece of info that I have is this: When I run (as administrator) the UniData client installer, and then choose the UniDeveloper Kit option, it installs without any visible error as I've mentioned. However, I also tried going into the installer's UNIDK subdirectory, and running (as administrator) the actual setup.exe application for the UniDeveloper Kit. When I do it this way, I do see an error message: * The following files did not self-register or unregister: * 1. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\oc30.dll Error: 0x80040200 * 2. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\oleaut32.dll Access is denied. I do not get that error message when I run the full UniData client installer, though, so I am not sure if that error is because some underlying element that is normally handled by the main installer isn't in available, or if that error is actually occurring all the time and the main installer just isn't reporting it. Since my install isn't working, I'm guessing the error happens all the time, and the main installer is interfering with the error alert. A google search on the error number hasn't helped much. If I try to set the UDK setup program to run in Windows 2003 compatibility mode, it no longer reports an error, but the object still doesn't work or show up in the object viewer.

You then have to parse through the block literally character by character. hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada From: wphaskett I've received some import files (csv) that use either a CR and/or LF character in a test field (surrounded by -marks). It seems to be somebody's idea of multi-value. However, I'm having a hard time extracting them (dynamic length lines) because UD considers it a field-mark. Therefore, the REMOVE() function, READSEQ statements don't work (a single line is considered two lines), and FORMLIST/READNEXT don't work because the key is too long for a select list. Anyone know how to extract a line of a simple csv file that contains a CR and/or LF within the line?

Re: [U2] [UD] Extract a line with a CR and/or LF character in it.
It's been a while - but I'm pretty sure that OSBREAD keeps the CR/LF as part of the block (you may need to put NO CONVERT ON in the code). READSEQ automatically ends at the CR/LF so you would have to put the lines together if you were short fields. In both cases it would mean going through the block/line a character at a time to parse out each field. Of course, to work with embedded quotes and commas you pretty much have to any way. With READSEQ you know the line ended on a CRLF - you just need to figure out if it's the end of the record or not. Does that make more sense? Hht Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada From: wphaskett I guess that's my problem. I can't use OSBREAD because the Cr/Lf appears in different columns in the line. I can't guarantee where it shows up (or what character position). Using READSEQ doesn't work either because the line read by the statement is only a part of the entire line in the file! e.g. 0,4300,1BEU,Robert,Smith,Julie,Smith,1 Lakewood Dr,,63031,1 Lakewood Dr San Diego, CA 92122,,,$150.00, 0,4300,1CYN,John Randolph,Bones,,,1 Round Ct,,63031,1 Round Ct San Diego, CA 92122,,,$150.00, ...when the lines should look like (only two lines): 0,4300,1BEU,Robert,Smith,Julie,Smith,1 Lakewood Dr,,63031,1 Lakewood Dr, San Diego, CA 92122,,,$150.00, 0,4300,1CYN,John Randolph,Bones,,,1 Round Ct,,63031,1 Round Ct, San Diego, CA 92122,,,$150.00, There's no guarantee the field causing the problem will even have any data in it, so I can't append every 2nd line to the end of every 1st line. :-( Once I get the line I can deal with each character at a time. Any other ideas? As always, thanks. Bill ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] XAdmin
No problem. I just got it working on a 7.1.6 (windows) version. I followed the instructions (and download) under Technote UCC-1001 (or search for XAdmin). There are some programs that need to be installed and cataloged in the SYS_BP folder. It does use the RPC port#31438 and I could only get it to work using Login Account = demo - Nothing else in my UD.ACCOUNT file worked including Demo - as it is in the file. I would get an error: The account name supplied is not a valid account. It seems to use the accounts as defined under Network Services, Database Admin although once I connect the accounts it lists are the ones in UD.ACCOUNT. It starts with demo - but I'm not sure what you would need to do if you didn't install the demo account... perhaps copy/rename a current account as demo and see if you can connect and then add what you need. I had tried the U2-logic editor back when it was free. It worked but I found the overhead of eclipse just a little too much. With U2 now with Rocket I wonder if they will still have the same incentive to use Eclipse Perhaps the port is being blocked at some point or the RPC service isn't active. How far do you get? Hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -Original Message- From: Bill Haskett Thanks Colin. I have several clients running UD v7.2.5 and I still can't connect with them. Is there a reason?

Re: [U2] XAdmin
Good catch (or debugging skills). I've always been a little confused on how UniAdmin connects - I though it was UO for Java as you can run it as an applet, but I never see it logged in and it works even if you're out of licenses. Colin Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 13:54:50 -0700 From: wphaskett Colin: I figured this out! :-) [snip] So, what was the problem? The UOLOGIN program! In the development environment authorized connections are allowed. On our client's servers, there was no need to account for an XAdmin connection. UniAdmin, apparently, doesn't use UniObjects to connect; thus doesn't use the UOLOGIN program. :-) A quick fix in this program allowed connectivity to proceed.

I think so. I believe it's in the release notes. I was trying to get it to connect to a 7.1 windows machine but kept getting a message about an invalid account.

Re: [U2] [UD] How to get output-converted results from EXECUTESQL and READNEXTTUPLE?
Jonathan; Why the SQL requirement? It seems arbitrary. Most MV programmers would have done it Jeff's way. Is it mostly so you can have your users enter SQL syntax themselves? (You are guarding against SQL injection attacks right?!?!) Do your users already know SQL, if not, it may even be more intuitive for them to use the ECL syntax - really that's what it was designed for. Without using SQL you can use Jeff's suggestion combined with the calculate function which may make it easier on you. Another option is REFORMAT, although it actually creates the file so you would still have to read it again - but it does have the formatting already done. I would have expected UDT.OPTIONS 91 on to resolve the problem as that's what I use when doing a regular LIST ... TO ..., although I'm not sure how well used that command is. I did report a minor bug with it a while back that was fixed quite quickly so perhaps this can be easily corrected as well. Whether or not you can get a hot fix or if you'll have to wait for a new version though I can't answer. I did test on both 7.1.6 and 7.2.7 and got the same results. If you don't want your users to enter the OCONV(FIELD,FMT) syntax - since you're currently parsing the data anyway - you could inject it into the SQL cmd rather than parsing the data afterwards (ie. 'SELECT OCONV(HIRE_DATE,HIRE_DATE_CNV), OCONV(SALARY,SALARY_CNV) FROM EMPLOYEE TO MY_CAPTURE_FILE;' where you read the format from the dict into HIRE_DATE_CNV and SALARY_CNV.) I think I like how the EXECUTESQL ... TO puts the data into memory somewhere as there is no file to clean up afterwards - like is created from the SQL prompt. I guess it depends on the limits imposed on that structure. Good luck Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -Original Message- From: jonathanm I got Jeff's reply via email. Really appreciate it. However, his approach involved abandoning SQL. For this project, SQL is a requirement.

Re: [U2] Trigger questions
By definition - if you're creating a write trigger the first parameter is the status. From Developing UniBasic Applications SUBROUTINE trigname(execstat, dictflag, filename, record.ID.expr, recordval) execstat The execution status returned by the trigger subroutine: 0 - No updates are allowed. 1 - Updates are allowed. 2 - Updates are allowed, using the return recordval. So if your before update trigger passes back a 0 as the execstat the write won't be performed. You'll just need to make sure the process calling the write can then deal with it.

Re: [U2] Upgrading to latest UV/UD PE / Windows
Tony; If it helps - here are some of my experiences installing UD 7.2.7PE at home and upgrading UniAdmin at work. I did uninstall UD beforehand (mostly I had made a mess of the SB/XA personal edition and was cleaning everything up and moving it around). Downloads from the new Rocket site are very similar to the IBM site - you have to fill out a web form to get to the download URL. Nothing besides basic contact info. I did get an auto-generated e-mail: Thank you for your interest in Rocket Software. Your information has been received. A representative from Rocket will be contacting you shortly. But I haven't heard anything since (it's been about a month). Not that I'm complaining :) I don't think you have to license the PE versions - they just have an expiry date. It's all just pre-populated when you go through install and if you check it later. The clients download is still huge. I can't recall if the personal download was split but when downloading through U2BC there are two clients (the smaller being the new DataVue query download). Still not sure where the new Xadmin client is and UniDebugger is still in the client even though it's been deprecated and BDT is a separate download. The install went easy and the default path is much shorter now. I did split out the UniAdmin directory from the client download to send to a client. Testing on my machine caused my earlier version of UniAdmin (in fact all 3 of them) to completely fail. Uninstalling all of them and reinstalling the latest got it working again. I haven't tried it with anything prior to 7.1 but it does have back to 5.1 in the version dropdown list. I was running that many versions because the later versions didn't seem to want to connect to earlier versions of UniData - hopefully this one will Good luck!

A lot of people found it to be helpful. nospamNebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/mv/2008/09/u2upgrade1.html (please remove 'nospam') I am now about to upgrade once again, just to ensure I have the very latest [ and greatest? ;) ]. I have specific questions about this endeavor: 1) Can anyone at Rocket confirm changes in the Universe 10.3.x installers which invalidate any statements I made about 10.2? Similarly for Unidata 7.2.7 vs 7.2.0. 2) What is the process for renewing PE licenses? Is there a prompt from the installer? Do we need to fill out some website form? Send an email? I don't think I've done this since the IBMRocket change. 3) Rather than installing an entire 600MB Clients for Windows package, is there a base package that can be obtained with just Uniadmin and UO support? 4) Please see issues with the Clients package documented in the blog, and comment if any of that is no longer accurate. 5) Is there a UVPE/Win v11? 6) Are there any other caveats or words of advice for minor upgrades like this?
