Re: [U2] Installing UniObjects on Windows 2008 64 bit
Is the Windows 7 SDK a 64 bit version of the software? If so I would think it would not be able to see the 32bit Unidk to use it. As 64bit versions of software can only interact with the 64bit versions of drivers even if the 32bit drivers are installed properly. Is there some way to make the Windows 7 sdk run as a 32bit environment? I would think that could solve your problem unless your trying to write something to run on windows 7 64bit.

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. I'll keep looking, but if anyone has any more suggestions, I'd love to hear them! :-) Thanks for the help so far!

Re: [U2] UniOLEDB and Windows 2008/SQL 2008
Yeah! Someone else with the same problem! If your SQL install is the 64bit version there are 3rd party bridge software pieces you can buy to bridge from the 64bit environment to the 32bit driver. I have no real suggestions on what works so I won't mention any names. I think all are going to be fairly expensive. Rocket is working on a 64bit driver but has no ETA yet. If you install the 32bit driver and install a 32bit version of SQL they should work even though you are running a 64bit OS. I say should because we have not yet confirmed it does. We should find out this week if we get time to test it. I suggest calling or emailing rocket software and get on their beta program so you get the 64bit driver as soon as they think they got it working.

I had to redo the FTP scripts when we moved to 7.2 on a 64bit box due to the security of Windows.

Everything I need in Unidata seems to work fine on this release with one notable exception: Unidata 7.2 on Windows will no longer properly execute the Windows ftp program. Rocket support has basically said that in this version they changed the telnet server so that it can only run fully stdin/stdout compliant programs in the shell. Because the Windows ftp program isn't exactly stdin/stdout compliant, it is no longer a functional PCPERFORM program. Even if the ftp program is scripted to connect, transfer, and exit with no additional inputs or outputs, the ftp program will still fail. Of course, in this case if there's a put in the commands it'll fail after writing a zero byte file, potentially overwriting something. I could be frustrated with Microsoft because, after all, it's their program that's failing, I'm more frustrated with Rocket. While it's frustrating to have a past ability removed it's more frustrating to have received absolutely zero warning from Rocket that this could happen. I've searched the docs for 7.2... can't find a word about this change. (Hey, and I could be missing something; that's certainly a possibility.) It's fortunate that this install isn't a big production system, but what if it was? There are several production systems running Unidata on Windows, so if any of y'all are using ftp or any OS commands that may not meet Rocket's muster, please be aware of this change in 7.2. BTW, for me the fix was to use WinSCP (in command line mode) instead of Microsoft's FTP program. So far it seems to work just fine though the scripting is a bit different from Microsoft's ftp client. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users Disclaimer: This email may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Yes, it appears to me that the issue I experienced was related to updated security in win2008, not in unidata. I've also noticed that every upgrade breaks something. Sometimes you get lucky and things run for 10 years, then one day, BAM! A program stops working after you upgrade the database. It's the nature of the job. Things change. Things break.

Then use SSIS to pull from the views, that way it doesn't know it isn't a SQL data source? Performance isn't bad if your limiting your I-desc and keep the data to single files in UD. Also use indexes in your UD views to limit your data. You can't pass variables for data selection this way. You can limit data by day using @date-99 type i-descriptors or just write a quick program to pull your data to a temp file, then pull the file for updating things incrementally for Cognos.

We are talking hundreds of files here for that conversion and maybe thousands of Oracle tables, and I don't think I'm going to create classes for every attribute in every UniData file and SQL statements to extract the data, translate and load it into Oracle tables. With SSIS it's nearly all just drag and drop - no code writing required - a proper ETL tool! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be able to connect to UD 5.2 because the OLEDB versions from Informix and Microsoft don't want to talk to each other. I had hoped somebody here could tell me what string literals are supposed to be and why I can't get them. In the meantime they can carry on working with their spreadsheets :-) And maybe I can convince them to send me to school again, so I can understand all the buzz-words you throw around. Mecki Tony Gravagno wrote: From: Mecki Foerthmann Thanks Tony and Peter, but I don't think yet another piece of software is what I need. Your product might be useful for some of your clients, but I don't think it will help solve my problem. That's funny. I don't have an application and there is no real way to categorize our clients, except that they're mostly MV developers who had a problem to solve. Many of our clients have come from this forum. I think you're missing the point of the blog. It wasn't to sell a product (that one isn't ready yet anyway) but to explain how I'm able to create a wide range of solutions based on the way I approach problems. If you continue to think of each problem you present here as a nail, the only solutions you're going to consider are the ones that look like a hammer. Think differently and you won't need to buy other people's solutions, you can probably come up with your own. (That said, the tools I've chosen help me to do what I do, and because I'm happy with those tools I've chosen to sell them too.) I don't want to update any MV files, just load some data into a relational database every night, preferably as cubes. Setting the MV files up as SQL tables is not a problem in UD either. I've already done that and have a reasonably easy to use tool for that in Avante. The point of my blogs is that you don't need to do that, and FWIW, this forum is frequented by people who have had problems doing that. So I discourage the approach. I've even written Basic code to flatten a file with large multivalues because DTS UniSQL in UD 5.2 can't handle them properly. And you don't need to flatten files either. :) This is all trivial stuff. All I want is a cheap ETL tool that works with UD 5.2, so I can build a datawarehouse in Oracle and write reports using Cognos. mv.NET Solution Objects (one of the libraries in the package and not currently used in the solution described in the blog) allows you to create strongly typed classes for any application. You can use these with other applications that can make use of business rules via an Object Relational Model (ORM). So the external environment doesn't see Accounts or Files or Dicts, it seems a Customer class and properties that you've chosen to share with specific environments, like Name and City. My approach would be to create an SDK for Avante (ManFact, Dataflo, CUBS, Datatel, SHIMS, or any MV application), then create an interface for your external database of choice, then create a bridge between them. Again (refer to my blog) note that the approach here isn't to connect X to Y but to get interfaces for X and Y and then connect them in the middle. Then you can use your X and Y interfaces with any other project. If you connect X directly to Y now, you'll be here next month asking about W and Z. I have to use Oracle and Cognos, I don't have any say in that matter. That's fine, so ETL your data to Oracle as I've

Flat files out of and into Unidata using software vendors formats for this. But for the EDI portion we use TIE commerce eVision.

RE: [U2] UniOledb error out of memory
I've had this exact problem. The only solution is to stop and start SQL to clear the memory. It appears to be a problem with SQL2005 wanting to hold onto the memory on the server because it feels it needs it and then the unioledb simply doesn't have enough memory available to it to run because SQL refuses to let it go. I've talked with Microsoft about this and they claim that it's not their problem because SQL is doing what it was designed to do and IBM says it's not their fault that SQL won't play nice and share some memory. If I'm wrong about any of this please feel free to correct me. And if anyone knows the answer to this problem I would love to know it. As a side note on this. We usually have this problem when testing out a new query and it isn't running as efficiently as we would like. Once it runs fast enough and is in production we haven't had any problems. Limiting the memory to SQL just appears to cause the problem faster as in using the linked server I'm guessing it's trying to load the unioledb driver into the memory space available to SQL? Or SQL just runs out of memory faster? I'm not sure what is happening, but also increasing the memory to 3 gigs also doesn't solve the problem or give more time before the error occurs.

[U2] ibm.unioledb not releasing memory on server.
I've gotten SQL 2005 to connect to Unidata 6.0 as a linked server. I then setup a view using openquery to access a view. Next I have the view being used to create a SQL2000 cube in analysis services. Once the cube is built the system doesn't release the memory being used.

Put the camera on a tripod pointing down at a white desk and you just place the paper or document under it. Set the camera as a web cam and click on to capture a still image.

RE: [U2] unioledb connection from SQL2000
First off. Thanks for the response. Next. We figured it out. We used an updated driver from our version 6.03??? Unidata disk instead of the 5.2??? Version that was on the old server. I think the numbers of the actual driver are not that different. But to make a long post shorter I'll just say the answer to the question is formatting. The date needs to be 2005-06-27 not 06-27-05 Why? I don't know. And do I care? Not all that much now that it works. So the secret word of the day is International date format. So It's 3 words. So sue me. I'll return to lurking again. Thanks.

RE: [U2] Uniobjects hack
There were a few times that I've seen people exploit the fact that they knew how to cause the program to error out to get them to the prompt level. Then it was open season for them since we were just working off a menu based security. They were just trying to be more efficient in how they worked. Using the program took too long. It was faster just to edit the records. Was the reasoning. They couldn't get to the payroll account but they could have if they knew how to make a pointer to the files in that account.

RE: [U2] uvo.net UvBasic .Net
From what we have experienced here, the addition of .NET applications on top of Unidata that replace existing green screen functions is not a benefit. Depending on how they are written. The users who have been using they older green screens, want them back. Clicking around .NET screens is not more productive or faster. The learning curve for new users is much lower and for the occasional user the interface is better, but when your dealing with how many orders a single person can process in one day, and how many phone calls one person can field in a day, the green screen is the fastest interface. The problem is that no one wants to buy a product that looks old. So software companies need to update to the latest technology to keep selling the product. For new installs I can say that there is a big advantage to having something that looks new and is easy to learn. I guess there is always a trade off when using new technology. But just because it's new doesn't mean it's better.

The green screen is the crusher for our environment. As far as .Net and Visual Studio go, I don't think it takes even that much effort as having Pick Basic as .Net assemblies to modernize or help perception, although that would be terrific. What would be great is simply the ability to use U2 components in the .Net environment as easily as you can those of other databases. The biggest headache/difference is that of data awareness. The current Visual Studio and much more so in VS 2005 allow you to establish tables/procedures as predefined datasources that can be linked to controls. If we did that, our U2 environments could be used by the dotnet world same as any other database.That puts us on an equal or closer footing with the SQL guys. Then the other features of U2 (flexible dictionaries, variable lengths, etc.) are enhancements to be pitched as selling points. Seems like a couple of vendors started down that road (most notably RD's PDP). Maybe it one day it happens. Mike However my perception is to make PICK more acceptable to younger people and look more mainstream. U2 is hung more for the green screen than for anything else, it is perceived as archaic even though that is far from the fact. If a Blue Chip company was looking at U2, and the basic code was a .Net assembly and we could create tables, etc from the Microsoft Visual Studio it could be the difference between a sale win or loss. It could minimise management wanting to throw U2 out of sites for something more modern as the even older RDBMS. It is the perceptions, not the technicalities that have dropped U2 from mainstream.

RE: [U2] Anyone have experience mirroring a HDD over a WAN
From what I've read about the replication, in UD, it can replicate across servers and when one goes down the remaining one will assume it is now the master and continue processing transactions. When the downed server is restored it will be updated with the missed transactions or rebuild the database depending on how bad the failure was. The problem with this idea is that over a wan you can have a connection failure and both or multiple servers will think they are the master server and begin processing the transactions. They keep log files but I don't see any way to reconcile the differences. It also looks like there should only be one master server at a time. I don't think you can have 20 offices with their own server. I would still look for some 3rd party solution to keep the data in sync and have a recovery plan that would allow a merge and audit of the logs to keep your integrity. Program triggers that keep all the databases updated virtually in real time sounds like the best real world solution to me.

We have a scenario where triggers were going to be the data collection and a distribution program to blow extracted data to various end of the earth. All this was an attempt to maintain a 24/7 access to a working system. = All log on to the main server and work as at present. = When comms break at any branch, they log into their own server and continue to work (the data being an exact copy of that on the HO server up until the night before = synchronization to take place at night, when network traffic is lowest) We've now had to abandon triggers, moving to a scenario where we get to modify source code (not a preferred route). This has caused us to stop and think... if this can go wrong, how much more the distribution of data onto every server at every branch (20 branches, plus HO). An alternative solution is to set up a hardware mirror to handle the movement of data. A google produces an overwhelming array of choices... What does the collective authority of the list say?

[U2] Unidata 6.0 oledb connection to Crystal reports
I'm having a problem moving my Crystal reports from Unidata 5.2 to 6.0. When I re-point the report to the new data source and put it on the web server, The report prompts for a login and password in a loop. Running it in the application works fine and doesn't prompt for a password. The knowledge base for this problem, on the crystal support sight, isn't helping. It references having it setup using ODBC and showing this issue and not OLEDB that shouldn't be asking for a login and password. Is there some database setting that is causing this or some other setting that I'm unaware of?
