[U2] UniData Hash File Viewer
Before I go and reinvent the wheel, I was wondering if anyone has already created a program that will display the technical data within an UniData hash file? I'm talking Header information, being able to jump to any group, look at the keys in the group, look at the data in the group, see the overflow pointers, etc. I checked the Wiki but didn't see anything like this. I have written a cool program like this that just allows one to traverse an OS file, but isn't hash file smart. Before I go and modify it I thought I'd ask the list first. David A.

Re: [U2] Read yourself
We always have a variable PGID defined at the top of the program. This at least HELPS identify the source code. Most of our programs have the ability to edit the code while you are in the program via some common hot-keys built into our core system. (controlled by security) There is also a hot-key to view source in a custom program, outside the editor. We use 'PGID' to identify the name of the current program. In universe, you may also look at the results of SYSTEM(9001) to get the current execution stack. If your object file is type-19, and long-names are ON - it's easy to parse. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Monday, May 12, 2014 6:48 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Read yourself I understand how one could potentially do it.

Re: [U2] Read yourself
IT'S JUST NOT TRUE EVER. @sentence cannot work. The stub program that launched an initial program will be in the @sentence... You could be 3 calls deep into external subroutines - there is nothing in @sentence re: the call-stack. Our shop writes *very* few stub programs - most are subroutines called by other subroutines. Instead: Add PGID=programName Or even PGID=filename ProgramName To the top of the program - quick and easy. Use of system routines such as SYSTEM(9001) is usually overkill. Your program should be aware of it's name - if no other reasons than: * display on the screen to help users identify where their problem came from * print on reports * add to log-file entries + and of course, to answer the original question: how can I read the current program source A well-designed system/program should hard-code as little as possible as well.

Re: [U2] jobnotify: Error 913 occurred
Sorry, I forgot to reply... I vaguely recall having a jobnotify errors when we migrated to AIX6.1 and UV11.1.9 during the testing phases...but do not recall if it was the 913 version you got...I cannot find my notes on this and didn't raise it as a problem case with Rocket... You could be occasionally running out of user processes - but only when the system is busy... or perhaps some settings are not optimised for your server / license, etc. A quick check is to verify 'ulimit' sessions for your UV session (do a ulimit -a at the shell prompt). Check the current values of the ULIMIT and SHMMNI kernel parameters. SHMMNI should be set to Number of Users + 2. (This is from a Rocket UV11 tech note) Finally, I think we also ran into issues with running out of LCTs...not necessarily relayed to the jobnotify error... This was another configuration issue not documented in the install guide at the time. That required of the tweaking of the UVCONFIG NUSERS parameters to ensure that everything was 'optimised', etc. and documented in the tech guidese UniVerse 11.1 - Before You Upgrade.pdf (previously What You Need To Know for Eleven One.pdf).

Re: [U2] Embedded help as hypertext
Wrapping in HTML is easy. Like anything ...doing it properly is hard...doing it right costs time and money...is it really worth it?? Unlikely - unless Rocket did it for us! :) Why don't just used BDT it has online context sensitive help and like the original poster said he uses the PDF.

Re: [U2] Multi-threaded phantom processing
Hi Peter Clearly, you have no other option than to go the direction you have. Sounds like you're using the correct API and approach for the task at hand and with the constraints you have. Sounds like you have considered various implications and you're constrain by UV versions and UniRPC being blocked (a good thing if you're connectivity to third-parties and over unsecure/public networks :))... BTW: UV File triggers are light-weight triggers available in UV11.x - without the overhead and complexity of UV SQL Triggers. The MQSeries interface is good, but it's learning curve can be steep and is only feasible if both sites are licensed users. I've used it a lot, but the underlying complexity of the MQ setup and API can be up there with TCP/IP sockets :(... if you're new to it all! SQL BCI requires UniRPC access so that would be ruled out for your use as well. All of the higher-level APIs just save you the hassle of writing a complex low-level interface which could be hard to develop, debug and maintain in the future... In my experience, it is difficult to optimise any interface unless you have some minimum, average and maximum loads or throughput requirements to be met. It'll be difficult to optimise the interface other than setting minimum and maximum phantom processes - as you're and other have already mentioned. I guess time will tell how it works and what tweaking (aka optimisation) will be required...nothing like real-world usage to sort things out... Another potential consideration you need to consider or at least have test cases is loss of connectivity due to abnormal termination by the client, network (local/carrier/remote) or remote server. All these events may cause various issues that can impact UV locally, remotely and your TCP connectivity. Troubleshooting network and application connectivity is never easy - hence working through worse case scenarios in advance is a worthwhile - and somewhat very tedious exercise. Such issues have are applicable to all applications - of course. Such network issues impact the native UV APIs as well...but I am sure you'll get to know and loathe errors such as FIN_WAIT, etc., etc. as you get more usage and issues, etc. Cheers, David -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Peter Cheney Sent: Friday, 7 March 2014 6:00 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] Multi-threaded phantom processing Initially data volume will be small - probably about 20 customers per day and about 6 records per customer but it is likely to grow very quickly up to some unknown amount. We'll have to see I guess. The records per customer are likely to be the high volume stuff. There is transaction logging on the remote system that I can use and am relying on for data integrity but I did not know about the SQL stuff until this week. Not sure if it would work until I can find time to play with it and see how it might suit us. Some of the other constraints were: no access allowed to the remote unirpc port, the remote UV is below 10.3 and different from ours, neither site has a UV/Net licence in prod. So I think I'm pretty much stuck with file queuing and multiple phantoms for now at least. I also was able to get a successful remote file process going on our test system while waiting for confirmation of UV/Net accessibility. It is very nice and might have been a nice solution too. Then I did some experimenting with the performance requirements on the file triggers and found there to be too much of a lag for the triggers to fire directly to the other end. This would've caused unacceptable problems in testing not to mention going live so a file queuing process had to be devised. In all the file queuing works quite well and can be coded for rock solid reliability so it has a lot of pluses. I can also fine tune the phantom loop times and socket timeouts on the fly at both ends once the data starts flowing and we get some idea of what needs changing. Fingers, toes, arms, legs (and eyes!) all currently crossed.

Re: [U2] Multi-threaded phantom processing
Yes of course there are many solutions: rcp, ftp, nfa, http, mapped drives, etc. But the one that has the most security is the socket to socket communications with your own protocol. You get to control who has access and what commands they have access to. And of course you get to add logging as you need. Plus it runs native from U2 so that you can do command like compile, or move just a single attribute or sub-value. My customer needed a tool to keep the developers out of the live data server. By disabling the normal data transfer methods and installing a socket-to-socket approach we made the auditors very happy. David A.

Re: [U2] Multi-threaded phantom processing
Hi Peter Sounds like an interested piece of work, just a couple of questions for you: - what sort of data volumes and update frequencies are involved? - do you need to know if the data has been successfully committed to the remote UV database? - did you consider SQL BCI or even UV/Net (read the different UV versions is an issue and so this may be a constraint) Gregor mentioned SQL BCI as an alternative interface - I've used that before to exchange data between systems and it works well. If you had the same UV version on both hosts - then UV/Net is simple effect way of transmitting data between UV systems with only licenses required on the remote system. With BCI you could utilise the Stored Procedure facility via an ExecDirect() call to push the data to the remote system in your UV file trigger. With UV/Net you could push the items to be copied the by your UV file trigger - thus the updates being written directly onto the remote host. BCI is free/included in UV and of course will utilise a license on the remote host. You need to write your own custom code. Probably a bit easier to maintain than any TCP/IP sockets based interface. Definitely a lot easier to troubleshoot ;-) ! YMMV. UV/Net is licensed on the number user connections on the remote host. Hence the above alternative as designed to eliminate the file-based queue - which in some instances by be desirable to maintain - depending on business, technical or operational needs/objections.

So then if it the main phantom spawns 1-n children (presumably more phantoms?), it would also need to select 1-n ports which I suppose must also be predetermined?

Re: [U2] Multi-threaded phantom processing
Peter, first of all let me congratulate you on this achievement. Having just finished a similar feat using UniData I understand the complexities that went into it. The system I'm current working with will be relatively low traffic. But I was pondering on the method of having a server socket that would just spawn a transfer server socket and send the socket address to the calling client. Then the client disconnects from the main server and just uses the transfer server to complete the task. Having 10 open phantoms with sockets will use up 10 licenses. David A.

I have the communications all set up and it is working very well via the UV socket functions with a client at one end and a server at the other. Both the client and the server both run as a UV phantom processes written in UV basic and the data being transferred (also encrypted) is more or less real time with various UV file triggers on the client end creating queue items for transmission based on the data content / transaction type. This set up is a single threaded affair and I am wondering how it will cope and what options I’ll have as the volume of data increases. Multi-threading my server process to dish out some of the load might be one possibility and I’ve seen examples in the past where the last digit of a numeric key (i.e. 0-9) is used to determine which one of 10 phantoms to call thus providing an effective distribution of the work. But even then, reading/writing processing data to a file for each child process seems to me to be the only way to achieve parent - child phantom communications at either end. Is there another way perhaps? It may be that I will need 2 sets of phantoms, 1 for the transactions and one for the ancillary data. Although we run UV on AIX the only other requirement is that I must be able to do it within UV Basic. Does anyone out there on the list know of a better way or any alternatives/advice so I can get a better appreciation of what else might be possible please?

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:

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.

Re: [U2] Sales EDI Question...
Hi Robert, Although I'm still just exploring, I added the Sales tag to the Subject to be politically correct. We offer a map-based EDI translator for installation and integration with your backend software. EDI Purchase Orders (850, 875) convert to Sales Orders using the same business rules used to create Sales Orders in your backend software. ASN's convert to EDI ASN's (856). Invoices convert to EDI Invoices (810, 880). EDI Cash Receipts (820) convert to Cash Receipts and post against Invoices. etc. Maps can be cloned in a matter of seconds and then modified to meet specific Trading Partner requirements. This product was originally developed on Advanced Pick and has been running for about 15 years on mvBase. It is also installed inhouse on Universe and can be ported to Unidata using the PICK flavor for the EDI accounts. It interfaces with serial, ftp and AS2 van services and did interface with the Softshare van some years ago when it was running on Advanced Pick. If you'd like to explore this option further, please let me know and I'll contact you directly, or you may contact me if you prefer.

Re: [U2] [SPAM] - Re: Interfacing Touchscreens directly to UniVerse - Email contains a url listed on multi.uribl.com
The ipad-browser-webserver- universe seems like the most logical way to approach this task as it doesn't lock you into apple, the web site can be made agnostic enough so you can utilize apple/android/windows/whatever comes out next, it also gives you a far greater control over security and access to your database and allows you to encrypt the data easily between server and client preventing man in the middle attacks and Trojan worms from picking up your data on your lan, it also allows you to easily extend the capability of your software into the internet for portability without the need for VPN's and other mess, this would be the method that I would use. What are you using between your webserver and the universe server? Are they on the same box? Other solutions would be to write a client App for whatever platform you choose which makes calls directly to a server application sitting on your server which would then use universe as a database, you could probably get an app to log directly into the universe database, I've seen it done, but it's not great. For apple you require apple desktops to develop the software and special software to distribute software outside of the app store, it's a bit of a nightmare really. Android is easier and you can just develop on whatever you have using Java and push the compiled APK to the devices via side loading or write it to update itself quite easily.

I find the file copy dialogue quite nice in Windows 8... (shoot first, calculate later, show a pretty graph) and it's nice to do away with wasteful aero transparency crap... It appears to perform quicker than Windows 7 on the same hardware (probably because of the more simplified visuals) and I am enjoying its better understanding of soft and hard links on the file system. I dislike the new start menu, charms menu and extra fluff in the way of network settings, control panel items and shutdown functions, I've taken to making desktop shortcuts to get to what I actually want.

Re: [U2] UV/Net usage and licensing
Hi Peter, It's been a while since I've used/played around with UV/Net, but this may help... 1. Setup You only need a ensure UniRPC is active and you license for UV/Net on the server you wish to access. I don't recall you need to anything other than the UniRPC Daemon listening for requests and it will invoke uvnet for your client request. 2. Security I can't recall if you're using UNIX or not...(it is supposed to OS independent) Although, UV/Net is supposed to set the effective user (UID numer) and group (GID numer) for the remote users connecting to the remote UV server...if required. Plus if specified - as you're doing so. My experience with similar DB product tools is it is far better to have the UID and GIDs directly aligned. Specifically: make sure the UID and GID for the same named accounts are exactly the same on both servers. Or if you use SET.REMOTE.ID that the account locally has sufficient rights or in fact it exists. I have issues with the same accounts and groups on different users have different UIDs and GIDs on the different client and servers - causing grief/ havoc on similar products to UV/Net, etc. Also - check if you have UniVerse Dynamic Type30 files, that your UNIX file ownerships, group ownership and Other are set exactly the same. This includes the hidden file.Type30. Having different settings are recipe for lots of grief! Finally, be forewarned that allowing testers/developers access to your production server via UV/Net is an EXTREMELY bad idea! (Career terminating if things go pear shaped when they have write/delete rights!). It is far too easy for these types of users to be unaware their test account is in fact pointing to your production service and there access is write/delete. Did you try the UVNETRID environment variable in place of SET.REMOTE.ID? If you are still having issues, you may have to enabled UniRPC debugging which is very extensive and generate logs of data - but is useful for seeing exactly where things are going wrong.

In my scenario if I am on host A and want to read/write files on host B. Host B only needs to read/write files on host B but not on host A. Do I need UV/Net on host A as well as host B or just on host A? Host A is running UV 10.3.4 and host B is running UV 10.2.6. Local testing on host A to host A/DR shows record locking is working OK but if the remote file does not have read/write on ‘other’ (e.g. 660) then all writes fail regardless of how I spec the credentials via SET.REMOTE.ID.

Re: [U2] Exporting to File regularly
Hi David If you upgrade to the latest UV version you have access to the built-in UV DB audit logging facility. Then you can setup a logging event to log changes to the file(s) in question. Hence, not violating the NDAs nor application flow (which you would have too if modifying the file with adding indices / triggers or the like). A simple file-based trigger (not the UV/SQL triggers - which a different more powerful beasts) that copies could make a copy to your own file or invokes a BASIC program/script to send notifications should do the trick too. A working example someone has posted on U2-Users List: http://u2-universe-unidata.1073795.n5.nabble.com/universe-11-1-triggers-via-indexing-and-IDX-IOTYPE-sample-tc41706.html#a41718 Audit logging is not for you unless you upgrade UVbut perhaps in the future...I guess you need a job to check the audit log for these events...too https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/nxt/gateway.dll/RKB14/universe/11.2/security1.pdf See page 372 Section 7 for Audit logging BTW: Look at from the vendors' perspective they have a lot of intellectual property tied up in their product.

[U2] Exporting to File regularly
Hi Everyone, I'm new to universe (a complete noob) and I couldn't quite find what I was looking for on google and I've been smashing my face against this for a while until I stumbled upon this mailing list so I was wondering if anyone could help me out here. I'm writing a script that will hopefully alert me via email whenever a new record is added to a particular universe file, if there is a better way to do this I would be all ears. I'm working around another proprietary system which operates on universe and I dont know enough about universe to really say for sure what is proprietary and what is universe standard code and the proprietary stuff is covered in NDA's and no touchy hand slappy orders so I cannot really modify the way it works, I just need to know when a new entry appears, preferably via an smtp email. My Current plan works like this I'm looking to regularly (every 5 minutes) output data into a text or csv file, doesn't matter really, so long as it is not full of characters that batch scripts hate and it can happen in an automated fashion. The closest thing I can get to what I want right now is SP.ASSIGN HS LIST FILE.NAME LPTR this lists all the records and dumps them in a spool file under /var/spool/uv/ and then a script I have written in the past retrieves that spool file for me, I have trained that spool file to look for specific markers in the first line of the file and apply a particular script to it This spooled print job gives me a list of the records that I can then sort numerically, pick the highest number, check that number against what the number was last time and alert me via email if its different. Ultimately I would love for a regularly running script to just output the highest record (maybe sort numerically and give me the highest number and dump just that number into a file on the unix box for me to retrieve and the work with. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://u2-universe-unidata.1073795.n5.nabble.com/Exporting-to-File-regularly-tp42264.html Sent from the U2 - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Unidata index/query ?
Jeffrey, And index is a B(Binary)+ tree, the plus means that it auto adjusts and balances itself as it builds or shrinks. After UniData 5.2 UniQuery will use as many indices as it can. In your case it is the equivalent of doing two UniQuery selects to two different lists and then doing a MERGE.LIST. If you are always wanting a combined index lookup on those two values you can create an I-Descriptor that combines them and index the I-Descriptor. Then use the I-Descriptor in your select statements. Remember using an Index doesn't always mean faster selects. If your index brings back a lot of records then you are processing them by index pointer and the disk reads will be all over the file.

Hi Brandon, If you want to send one of your columns/fields in your UV/SQL SELECT result to an active select list or saved list - within the same SQL query - you need to use 'TO SLIST' keyword option... See the HELP SQL SELECT online for the limitations though. For example: To save the column/field Y.INFO.packet.id to select list 0: select Y.INFO.packet.id TO SLIST 0 from X.INFO, Y.INFO where X.INFO.packet.id=Y.INFO.packet.id and X.INFO.status='ccc'; - OR- To save the column/field Y.INFO.packet.id to a saved list named MYSQLJOIN in SAVEDLISTS: select Y.INFO.packet.id TO SLIST MYSQLJOIN from X.INFO, Y.INFO where X.INFO.packet.id=Y.INFO.packet.id and X.INFO.status='ccc'; Regards, David -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Hilk, Brandon Sent: Wednesday, 28 August 2013 6:24 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Select from one file with save-list from another file Hello!

Re: [U2] [UD] BASIC Code Failing
Hi Brian That's a good idea to do what you have done and do in mvStamp... I guess what I'm also look at is that the use of MD5 checksums (for example) is a 'well known/accepted and platform independent' mechanism to verify files are 'as they should be'. Hence, in theory you quickly detect changes that have occurred to the object, source and catalog version in simple independent way without even referencing back a source control system. Plus in UV BASIC you now have the ENCODE and ENCRYPT functions to help you check/secure your code - if you so desire - post-implementation. Here's simple compilation comparison before and after...obviously you can extend it to the source changes in catdir, etc. $ openssl md5 /my/PROGRAMS/BP.O/test123 MD5(/my/PROGRAMS/BP.O/test123)= 7e3743a1ac709cca2f9e1dd034e19048 $ nbasic BP test123 Compiling: Source = '/my/PROGRAMS/BP/test123, Object = '/my/PROGRAMS/BP.O/test123 *** Compilation Complete. $ openssl md5 /my/PROGRAMS/BP.O/test123 MD5(/my/PROGRAMS/BP.O/test123)= 080524f5d4da1c363298e2e538d3cf49 $ openssl md5 `cat /.uvhome`/catdir/'*test123 MD5(/usr/ibm/uv/catdir/*test123)= 05b3b02a4369915e448af6837160ac8f $ Regards, David -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Brian Leach Sent: Thursday, 1 August 2013 11:13 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] [UD] BASIC Code Failing Dale The stamp I use assigns a dummy variable using strings that contain searchable keys.

This typically updates the version stamps, recompiles everything, handles any platform builds (most of my stuff runs on UniVerse, UniData, QM and D3), updates a README document from my task system, adds them all into revision control, then calls mvInstaller to build the release package. Then control passes back to the vbscript to assemble the setup (InstallShield or visual studio) and zip the resulting setup ready for upload.

Re: [U2] [UD] BASIC Code Failing
In UV we're had similar strange problems with seemingly unchanged source/object code - not work as per normal and things going amiss for no good reason...once we found the object code in BP and the catalog space were mismatched and simply re-catalog'd it. Another time we re-compiled a program - as it was always invoked via RUN BP PROGNAME... in both instances the problem seem to go away. This was in a controlled product environment so it's in highly unlikely someone could of or would've changed the code... In UV you can do a VCATALOG to verify the BASIC object to what is actually catalogued... All of these issues made me wonder if our implementation routines need to have a more robust. More robust in terms of storing some control information for both pre/post verification - hence being able to detect 'unauthorised changes' through the various stages. This could include calculating and storing (say) MD5 (etc) hashes on the source and object to cross verify changes. Hence, make it more easy to detect object or source changes outside the authorised/control deployment process... without having to go through every single file and comparing to tape or disk backups, etc., etc. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bill Haskett Sent: Wednesday, 31 July 2013 6:06 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [UD] BASIC Code Failing John: That's an interesting thought.

To Riverman, I have not heard of the Benton scheduler and I'm not sure what sort of scheduler you're looking for, but we have a Finite Scheduling scheduler associated with the Shop Floor Control module of our discrete Manufacturing software suite.

Re: [U2] UML mapping tool for MV (UniVerse)
Regardless of the toolset, the first hurdle would be to normalise your database to look like a relational one. Which is likely to be the greatest hurdle. Data dictionaries in U2/PICK are optional are a purely for reporting purposes - they can have duplicates and these can be conflicting. Even worse (as if you thought it could be) - data dictionaries can be incomplete or wrong. This added to the lack of enforcement of data integrity and constraints usually causes these toolsets to fail (indeed, even the UV/ODBC driver fails too!)... so good luck! Rocket released U2 Metadata Manager to assist in this respect and is designed to allow forward and backwards capability. Although, support for this in UV is limited to the latest official release... so your alternative is UV/ODBC... For UV/ODBC users - I have always recommended a separate UV account and data dictionary that is spotless. For some this is the best option - why go against the flow - when you create your own stream... -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Lynette LeDoux Sent: Tuesday, 16 July 2013 5:45 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] UML mapping tool for MV (UniVerse) Hello all.

Can't put my finger on the exact documentation but I seem to recall that compound expressions are broken up into parts (for want of a better term) delimited by a ';' and each part can be referenced throughout the entire expression by an @ number e..g. @1 refers to the first part and the nth part is @n etc. So for: LIST VOC SIZE EVAL SIZE + @2;@ My take on how this works is the the first part of the expression (SIZE + @2) can be referenced later on as @1, The second part is referenced as @ (instead of @2) and I believe is used to refer to the result of the entire expression (sum of all the parts). Can @ in this case also be referenced as @2? It probably could but would break the expression. Therefore the reference to @2 is causing the expression to grab the entire result using contents of @ (via @2 thus keeping it separate to @) and add it to SIZE which then becomes the new result (@) of the expressions and the whole thing is repeated.

Re: [U2] History of Prime Information
Hi As long as you don't tell anyone else, as it might show my age, I can add a bit of background. I worked for Prime and was seconded to represent sales to the project in Milton Keynes that delivered PI/open. In fact I was part of the group that decided on the name and still have some of the original marketing collateral in a box somewhere. As far as I can remember due to the implementation Martin outlined the run time code could be moved between Unix systems without recompiling.But I am sure Martin will be able to remember and correct me if I am wrong.

Not recently bud. Once I settle on a toolkit that works well, my research in that specific area slows down. How much research do we continue to do on cars after we've made a purchase? Do we keep house hunting after we move into a new home? It's appropriate to be informed about what's happening in our industry, but I have dozens of platforms, frameworks, toolkits, and related versions that I need to keep up with - that still means time needs to be allocated for hundreds of permutations of all of these blasted software packages that are all supposed to save us time. Like everyone else here, I need to use whatever free time I have to hone my skills with the latest versions of the tools I already use, rather than continue to look into replacements. Despite professional curiosity, at some point we need to stop playing with tools and just hunker down to write real code. I'd like to say that at some point I'll cycle back around for another look at the U2 toolkit, but remember that for my purposes of writing applications that are the same across all MV platforms, a platform-specific tool is generally off of my radar. Sure, it would be nice to save my clients money using free tools, but I have U2 clients that have been running a single license of mv.NET for years. The tiny cost of the tool is trivial in the big picture. People need to think hard about exactly how much free costs them, or how adverse they are to buying a low-cost license for something that will last years. And that's just the cost of the tool. When a U2 site posts a job ad for someone to do UI work or web services, they might say must know U2 Toolkit for .NET. If they have a tool that anyone in the MV industry can use, the scope of candidates broadens to include U2 developers And everyone else. .NET developers have already broadened their scope to the outside world. Once they/we have made that jump, there's no reason anymore to limit one's self to a single MV platform and related tools. A company that is going in this direction should think hard about branching out and then snapping right back again to platform-specific tools. Sure, you're going to find someone who does U2-only work with .NET, but why limit your scope to U2-only people? The non-end-user developers that I know who use mv.NET aren't interested in limiting themselves to one platform anymore. It doesn't make sense to not have access to that pool of talent just because you want to use a free tool. And no, the DBMS vendors shouldn't feel threatened by this - we're enhancing applications for everyone, not the competition. It's the end-users that win here as well as their up-line channel. So Rocket Software and Tiger Logic and Ladybridge and everyone else should be encouraging their developer channel to use mv.NET rather than somehow feeling threatened by it. (More than I expected to write on that one, sorry.)

Re: [U2] History of Prime Information
If I'm not mistaken, there was another company in between Vmark and IBM. I believe (and there may have been some smoke and mirrors in all this) that Informatics acquired Ardent and then assigned the CEO of Ardent as the President of Informatics, or something like that, to run both Ardent and Informatics. And then later, IBM acquired Informatics for their database and just inherited Vardent almost by accident. Then, I believe that IBM acquired Unidata and formed the U2 product group. Certainly someone (Suzie) at Rocket could clarify this and perhaps publish an document for historical purposes to document this history completely and accurately. Dave Taylor Sysmark Information Systems, Inc. Prime Computer out of Natick Massachusetts went out of business. One of their products was PR1ME INFORMATION. They were acquired by another computer, Computervision (Thank you Mark, I'd forgotten the name). The product PRIME INFORMATION was acquired by VMark. Vmark was later acquired by Ardent Software. I don't remember if there were any companies in between Ardent and IBM, and while this was going on, there was a separate history happening for Unidata. Net upshot was that IBM acquired both Universe and Unidata, and branded them as U2. Source - my memory, (such as it is). I started playing with PR1ME INFORMATION on a PR1ME 450-II back in 1978. I bought disk drives, controllers, and tape units off and on throughout the years from Computronix, specifically from Randy Styka, which is where I came into this conversation.

But one of the other uses is for logging. PEEK can be set up to fire off a background process when a user logs in. That process is independent of the user, and can run under another id. It can then write a log of either all keystrokes of the user (input only mode) or of input and the resulting output. Since it runs under a different id, the logs can be placed where you want and they can't be modified or accessed by the user being peeked on.

I don't remember if there were any companies in between Ardent and IBM, and while this was going on, there was a separate history happening for Unidata. Net upshot was that IBM acquired both Universe and Unidata, and branded them as U2. Source - my memory, (such as it is). I started playing with PR1ME INFORMATION on a PR1ME 450-II back in 1978. I bought disk drives, controllers, and tape units off and on throughout the years from Computronix, specifically from Randy Styka, which is where I came into this conversation.

It can then write a log of either all keystrokes of the user (input only mode) or of input and the resulting output.

The URL I specify in SOAPCreateRequest is http://our-dev.domain.com/apps/jobs/Services/Job.svc However in the log file I get: 04/16/2013 15:05:16 [ 446706 925928 ] Assembled Request: POST /apps/jobs/Services/Job.svc HTTP/1.1 Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 05:05:16 GMT Host: our-dev.domain.com SOAPAction: http://tempuri.org/IJobService/CreateJob1UserPartyRole User-Agent: IBM UniVerse 11.x Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 1670 The POST seems to be missing the first part of the URL and with the response being a 400 bad request I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to force the complete URL? In particular is there a SOAP command that I'm missing? Briefly I do the following in this order: Ret = setHTTPDefault( VERSION , 1.1 ) Ret = SOAPSetDefault( VERSION , 1.2 ) Ret = SOAPCreateRequest( URL , SoapAction , SoapReq ) Ret = SOAPSetRequestContent( SoapReq , PAYLOAD , 1 ) Ret = SOAPSubmitRequest( SoapReq, Timeout, RespHeaders, RespData, SoapStatus ) The return codes from above are: setHTTPDefault result = 0 SOAPSetDefault result = 0 SOAPCreateRequest result = 0 SOAPSetRequestContent result = 0 SOAPSubmitRequest result = 0 The SoapStatus from SOAPSubmitRequest above is: Response status : 400▒Bad Request The RespHeaders returned from SOAPSubmitRequest above is: Response headers : Cache-Control▒private▒Server▒Microsoft-IIS/7.5▒X-Powered-By▒4.0.30319▒X-Powered-By▒ASP.NET▒Date▒Tue, 16 Apr 2013 05:46:06 GMT▒Content-Length▒0 To me the soap action seems good and the xml in the payload looks ok too so it has to be something in the delivery.

Re: [U2] How do you print a .pdf from inside a Unix Box
First up - Adobe PDF is a subset of the Adobe Postscript page description language (PDL). Some printer vendors have Postscript emulations. Most business class laser/LED printers or multi-function devices (MFDs) today have intelligent page description language detection built in and typically analyse the datastream before attempting to do anything with it...mean that they can switch between plain text from UniVerse or UNIX or PDF/Postscript or HP PCL / PXL formats and others on-the-fly... Some modern printers have Adobe PDF and Adobe Postscript (or an emulation) built-in. Meaning they can be sent files in either format. . (Side note - Google: PDF Direct Print support). If you have printers are capable of accepting Adobe PDF files - then just simply submit an those files direct to the printer from your host. If your printer has Adobe Postscript or a Postscript emulation - you translate the PDF data file into 'native' Postscript via Ghostscript or similar toolset prior to sending it to the printer. If you don't have any Postscript capable printers - you can - using Ghostscript translate the file from PDF into HP PCL or similar PDL (many are supported). Then send the generated output to your printer queue. You can write custom version of the Ghostscript supplied 'ps2pdf' script to generate to PCL file from an Postscript file (and call the script, say ps2pcl). It's not difficult to customise this scripts for your own output device (printer, image file, etc)... have done this before... As implied by others - you won't have the same capabilities nor any options to dynamically or selectively control over the output (orientation, N-up printing, duplex, tray selection, page-fit, paper type, copies, page range, etc)... that you can perform from Windows Acrobat PDF viewer. An alternative to this is to perhaps utilise one or more host-based printer print queue defined for (some of these may be feasible) such printing preferences, etc. HPJetDirect for HPUX and other UNIX platforms is pretty feature rich especially when talking with HPDirectJet printers...

When I investigated I noticed that from the day of the upgrade I have rows in the table used for that report with missing dates. The report is based on a SQL Server 2000 table that gets updated every night with Purchasing information from UD using DTS. We want to track supplier performance so I take a snapshot of the outstanding Purchase order deliveries every night and add them to this table. Each row also contains the date the snapshot was done. Some order line have multiple deliveries so I created a I-type dictionary item using REUSE(@DATE).

Re: [U2] UV: Consuming https service from within UVBasic using SOAP
Hi Peter, You easily change that sample source code try amending these lines to access any SSL webserver/appserver. For example the Firstmac.com.au website using SSL by default I see - so that'll be a good site to use as an worked example - that uses a CA Root certificate. Basically, all you'll need a copy of you GeoTrust's root certificate accessible by your (UV SOAP/HTTP) client application. You must upload this (or any other SSL certificate) to your UV host and tell you UV application where it can be found... * Assumes client host can resolve and access this URL * For HTTPS SSL www.firstmac.com.au is using GeoTrust CA certificates, hence upload a DER copy of it first. URL = https://www.firstmac.com.au/home; * Define the full path to the GeoTrust CA Root certificate, uploaded to the host (exported in DER format) X.CERT.PATH=@PATH:/geotrust.cer ;* Full path to a DER copy of GeoTrust CA Root Certificate X.USED.AS=2 ; * 1=Self-signed, 2=CA Issued certificate X.FORMAT=2 ; * DER format X.ALGORITHM=1; * RSA key Hope this helps. The CA Root SSL certificate business is complex and is part of that steep learning curve! Good luck!

How is the product licensed? -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Brian Leach Sent: Tuesday, 5 February 2013 10:14 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] U2 Test Tools for system/unit regression testing w/integration with HP QualityCenter Hi David I've recently released a testing product called (predictably!) mvTest. This supports automated testing of U2 applications using a dedicated scripting language modelled after UniBasic for familiarity but with a number of key extensions to handle data validation, test data handling, UI scripting and assertions. You can use this to create unit tests, UI tests (currently TELNET and U2-compatible secure TELNET/SSL but with SSH to follow shortly), regression and volume tests. Here's a quick overview of how it works - - You create unit or UI tests using the scripting language. These can be run through either of a Windows client or through a server-side script runner e.g. if you want to perform CI testing through a phantom. There's a nice Windows based editor to create, organize and test these. - The tests return pass or fail information based on assertions, so you can see at a glance if anything has broken. You can save the information and run various reports against it. - The tests can run direct against the database through a UO.NET connection (e.g. for testing subroutine calls and parameters) or through a terminal-style UI. It embeds a complete terminal emulator with all the necessary functions, and this allows you to drive screens, perform spot checks, branch on different results (e.g. handling error messages raised from your screens), handle send/expect style scripting and more complex conditions (such as wait until the cursor is at this location and this message has appeared here). - It keeps a separate shared server connection open while the UI tests run so you can, for example, script an entry screen via the terminal UI that ends up saving some data like a sales order, and then immediately check what has been written to the database through the underlying connection as part of the same script. - Unit tests can be organized into batches in which the tests run in order, so you can set up sequences that match business operations. - Batches can be organized into runs, so you can test whole suites of your application. Each run can be customized, so you can feed in per-site or per-system information. Runs can optionally randomize the order in which batches are executed, and you can set up different run scenarios and iteration patterns. - You can feed in and randomize test data and from the client side runner, access local features as well as the database operations. - Volume testing can take place using the Windows client. This is a multithreaded client supporting multiple concurrent UI sessions - I've tested up to 250 concurrent connections from a single PC running against an SB+ system for one customer last year who needed to stress test their SB+ system performance coming up to the New Year sales. This first release is targeting U2 with other MVDBMS to follow. I'm also adding support for GUI testing using the Microsoft Automation APIs and WebUI testing going forward.

Jon, Everything is strait forward except the wait until logic. That can get very complex if you want to. RECORDLOCKED(file.var, rec.id.expr) - Returns record lock status, 0 if not locked. MATREADU or READU or RECORDLOCKU - Will lock a record.* MATWRITE or WRITE or RELEASE - Will unlock a record. *Note you can use GETUSERNAME(STATUS()) to see who has it locked. David A.

[U2] U2 Test Tools for system/unit regression testing w/integration with HP QualityCenter
Hello All, I am just wondering what U2 or UniVerse specific integrated testing suites people are using out there and ideally in use today. We have the need for a UV11.x specific or capable tool for automating our existing system/unit and regression test packages. We have a our existing test suites/scripts in HP QualityCenter (HPQC) and we currently manually capture and store the results (plus track 'defects') there as well. Ideally, this tool should be able to integrate with HPQC. At minimum some means to capture results - test case number plus success/failure to a file. Our primary application interface is via a terminal interface via SSH emulating VT220 terminals. But we also use various interfaces UV Clients APIs or third-party utilities (accessed via UNIX shell scripts or the like). Ideally, testing package should be able to drive (simulate keystrokes via keyboard entry) or invoke all of these in some fashion. Hence some sort of scripting of terminal emulator or UNIX shell and/or client APIs would be ideal. Another requirement is a tool that has the ability to perform simulated end-user terminal session load testing (ie., connect X number of users via terminal emulation over SSH and perhaps client APIs too) - we would could simulate actual users interactive access and run X, Y or Z test scripts. The primarily purpose of this is to simulate database record locking contention, etc. under load, etc. Plus other stress testing under load. Your solution could be a commerical product or a perhaps some in-house tool or opensource or combination thereof...whatever it is - I'd be interested to hear about this tool or your experience of attempting to do this. Thanks in advance for any feedback. Cheers, David ** IMPORTANT MESSAGE * This e-mail message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information which may be confidential.

Re: [U2] Universal COMO
So you do what you want to do, but not hard code it and hence require manual updating of all those VOCs. When you want to move for some reason...like lack of disk space or a new disk letter... UD also supports multiple version to operate on the same host/server...done mainly through the use of shell variables to point to proper version. Much like you can do with Oracle too. Now that would be handy if UV could do that too...especially when upgrading/test new releases, etc. Back to your query... In the past we use to have multiple UV accounts from the old legacy systems. But then we bit the bullet and simply created a single account. Not all sites can do this if you have duplicate filenames. We had few files like this and just renamed them and end up prefixing the duplicates with the (original) account name to ease the transition. Then we just change any applications/dictionaries that use to refer to. We didn't have any issues with duplicate HOLD, SAVEDLISTS nor COMO filenames. But you do have to aware of potential gotchas like this when applications start overwriting each other's' output. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2013 7:07 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Universal COMO What's the reason for using a variable, @MY_COMO, instead of the actual path ? -Original Message- From: Bill Haskett wphask...@advantos.net To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Wed, Jan 23, 2013 7:22 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Universal COMO In UniData (on Windows) this is pretty simple. First you create an environment variable for the como file (e.g. MY_COMO) that points to the directory under which you've created a _PH_ directory and a D__PH_ dictionary file. Then you create a VOC item as follows: _PH_ 001 DIR 002 @MY_COMO\_PH_ 003 @MY_COMP\D__PH_ ...to include in every account's VOC file. This will now act as a centralized como repository. I do this with the _HOLD_ directory, as everyone on our machines share the same spooler file, and each spooler file name is a unique .txt file. I'm sure it would be even easier on a nix machine. :-) Bill ** IMPORTANT MESSAGE * This e-mail message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information which may be confidential.
