Re: [U2] Web services at 11.x

I write to this list to ask those of you who know that it is possible to do the other way, that from Universe you are able to connect to outside web services, send queries to them, and get back responses.

Re: [U2] Web Services at Universe 11.n
To be fair, I'm basing my my assumption of not getting all of the conversation on the following log entries: Assembled Request (body omitted,length=0): (the body of my request is empty, but apparently it isn't logged anyway.) Response message body(may be partial) length: 1769 (and I'm most definitely _not_ getting the entire response message body logged!) And yes, I have logging level set at 10. As the service deals with sensitive data, it would not be appropriate to discuss the security situation on a public list, but there is a 'Host' header present when using the uv functions as well as using curl. My point, in the end, is that I spent days trying to tweak my usage of uv functions to get the service I was hitting to recognize my request as valid, without success, whereas I spent less than a day setting up and using curl and achieving success. Then I was able to spend a little time making various invalid requests to see in detail what error conditions would look like, and document that as well. And the curl implementation took about 1/10 as many lines of code. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Re: [U2] What is true
To further complicate things, I was instructed at one job to use the IF VAR THEN syntax as this was treated a boolean operation and executed faster than IF VAR # ''. We were working on Prime Information at the time. A few years later I went to work for a VAR. I had made changes to the their programs at a customer site and used the IF VAR THEN construct. The code failed in testing. This was on an ADDS Mentor. I went back to the office and wrote a 3 line program of: VAR = 'ABC' IF VAR THEN CRT 'TRUE' ELSE CRT 'FALSE' END I got TRUE on the Prime box and FALSE on the ADDS. I wound up looking at a co-workers copy of THE PICK POCKET GUIDE. There is a chapter titled IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH. It explained in detail how different PICK systems determine true or false. It did not explain the Prime implementation but was very helpful. I changed my code to read IF VAR # '' THEN and my problem went away.

Most of the locking within the application does not use the LOCKED clause so when a second person needs the locked record, their session waits. What is the best way to detect the user hasn't typed anything for a period of time, say 2 minutes? This needs to be simple as we have no desire to rewrite the application!

However, I am toying with the idea of building a new I-desc that in some way combines the data in the core file itself. For example, if I need F11 F20[4,1] and F40, make an I-desc that combines these and then index that I-desc.

Our sys admin isn't here at the moment, but didn't report any extra difficulties or delays compared to any previous upgrades.

The field in question, Bin Number, is alphanumeric. About three quarters of the entries are all numeric and one quarter are alphanumeric. Below is a perfect example of my issue. LIST INVWHS 27814*001 F1 F2 F3 12:43:18 NOV 10 2011 1 CPN*WH Qty On Hand Shipping Qty Bin Number 27814*001 158 070300 SO76127 My users want all the numeric sorted from lowest value to highest value as if the field was actually numeric. My thought was to add to V-desc fields. One that determines if the value is numeric or not (ALD.NUM.BIN) and the other is the length of the field(ALD.BIN.LN). This would sort based on the length of the value. The greater the length the greater the value. So the 10001 should print after and not in the vicinity of 1000 as it's doing now. My first question is: How do I make ALD.NUM.BIN report the condition of both values. As you can see below it only shows the first value. I'm thinking I need a -SUBR statement but can't find a list of them in the Unidata manuals.

working with Bartender label data records and I'm trying to parse the

lets me use a single character.
What I have so far in the DICT item is:

003:
004: PRN
005: 15L
006: S
This works great until a capital P is in the label name before the PRN.
Field is taking the first character and ignoring the RN=. I do NOT want
to make a subroutine if I can avoid it. I've tried using CHANGE to swap
out PRN= with a single character but apparently that's not an allowed
command in the DICT items.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Re: [U2] Data in Dict
At a previous employer, we used a single file similar to what Jeff suggests, and it was a very neat and tidy little file. The only problem we ran into was when we started getting larger sites, and had trouble with throughput. It turned out that with 20 or so next-item counters in one frame, the lock table became a bottleneck. We had to radically over-size the file to spread the items into more groups so that group update locks didn't hamper performance. So our neat and tidy modulo 7 or 11 file went to a modulo of around 101. Still relatively small with a separation of 1. With disk as cheap as it is these days, it's a very easy solution, once you know.

Although, keeping all your nexts in one basket could be a problem if that file ever was corrupted, it would be difficult to reset them all to the correct values.

It looks like maryann doesn't have appropriate prviileges to create the sub-directory in the SAVEDLISTS directory. You could resize the SAVEDLISTS file as a Type 19, or fix the owner /or group of SAVEDLISTS, or just turn STACK.WRITE off. Without looking, that's what I would guess.

Re: [U2] Sparse array population in Pick
Will, I used the second model (originally about 20 years ago) with the initial empty value. Neither model is really very simple, but with the second model we created one or two I-descriptor subroutines that can allow dictionaries to be tailored to any tag you want to look for and select for all values associated with that tag quite nicely. Display routines are also not too daunting. There are certainly worse file structures to deal with than the second model. But maybe I'm biased, I 'invented' its use at a previous company, and I and the rest of the company worked with it for at least 15 years.

Anyone with no programming background at all, can easily understand it, and also easily edit it. It suffers from requiring more elaborate programming than the second model, as you have to parse every element. The second model is not quite as clear. You determine the attibute position of the value by locate the tag in attribute 1 and then adding 1 to it. That gives you the attribute number where the value lives. Alternately you could simply pre-fill attribute 1 with an initial null to push everything forward 1 place, then you wouldn't have to add 1 after your locate. Comments? Critiques?

Until you decide that you want to know a specific process number, work with pipes and O/S files and other things like that, the BASIC code is not only interoperable, but if the version is even remotely close, you don't normally have to even compile. That said, I'd compile just to be safe. Check your code for any place where you run a command shell program or call an O/S specific function.

This takes care of all the big vs little endian insanity and other file system level things that you don't want to deal with anyway. You will still have to reset all of your indexes using SET.INDEX. Recompiling everything is easy. BASIC BP * (or whatever your basic source file(s) may be). Deciding what and how to to re-catalog things may be a bit more complex. Look at the VOC pointers for cataloged programs and create select lists of globally and locally cataloged programs then create a paragraph to re-catalog everything. Any Unix level commands/scripts/programs will have to be recreated as windows commands/batch files/programs. Try running the SEARCH command on all of your UvBasic program source files and look for SH -c to find things executing shell commands. Speaking of which., save this list because you will need to change all instances SH -c to DOS /C. You may want to look into Microsoft Windows Services For Unix which among other things implements a very nice Korn C shell on your Windows machine. More info here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463212.aspx Printers. Universe automatically creates a spooler for each printer set up in windows however the SETPTR command does not like printer names with spaces in them. You will also want to look through your Unibasic source code for the SETPTR command and change printer names accordingly. Again SEARCH is your friend. Check your VOC for file pointers which have pathnames to other directories. These will have to be changed to windows paths. SEARCH (I'm noticing a trend here) for things with an F as the first character in attribute 1 and a '/' as the first character on line 2. Those are the biggest things that come to mind right now.

Re: [U2] UV index with duplicate nodes
into determining exactly how long a rebuild of this particular index will take, as that seems like the best work-around for us at the moment. We are in the process of formalizing the steps we use to identify the problem, and codifying that in a process that can be run on every index we have, so that we can at least identify the scope of our issues and, if rebuild is the only remedy, make plans to schedule them regularly. If you would like to check your indexes, here are the steps we have found to be reliable: 1.Create an F-pointer to the index directly, named indexfile, with the Dict pointing to the dict of the data/source file. 2.SSELECT indexfile 3.SAVE.LIST XX 4.Create a DICT fname DUP dictionary item like this: a.0001: I b.0002: @2;@ID;@1...@2 c.0003: d.0004: e.0005: 3R f.0006: S 5.GET.LIST XX 6.LIST indexfile WITH DUP # “0” DUP 7.Note the ID’s listed (dup_id1, dup_id2, etc.). Use them as listing criteria as follows: a.LIST indexfile WITH @ID = “dup_id1]””dup_id2]” (etc.) F1 F2 Building a program to perform these tasks will be one of our next immediate steps.

The source records referred to in the nodes are not duplicated, but since most operations find the 'first' node, any source records referred to in the duplicate node appear to not exist in the index. LIST.INDEX fname ALL Alternate Key Index Summary for file fname File... fname Indices 1 (1 A-type, 0 C-type, 0 D-type, 0 I-type, 0 SQL, 0 S-type) Index Updates..

We found that 9 source records appear to have not been included in the index, but upon further research found the nodes with duplicate keys. We created an F-pointer to the index file itself (not normally recommended, but useful), then got the results like the following: LIST indexfile WITH @ID = 12345] F1 F2 fname. F1 F2 12345 987654 876543 12345-6789 765432 543219 12345 654321 We are having our UniVerse administrator ask our dealer for assistance, but were interested if any other users have had any recent similar experiences, or advice.

Re: [U2] The opposite of Export is.. sometimes not Import...
I would probably start by making an index on the Part Number, based on an I-descriptor with an expression like this: CONVERT(OCONV(OCONV(PartNumber,'MC/N'),'MC/A'),'',PartNumber) where PartNumber is a D-pointer to the raw data field that is the Part Number. This will strip out all the non-alphanumeric characters. You could then easily access by Part Number no matter how many dashes, dots, etc. were entered on either system, via the index.

Re: [U2] UD: Executing small part of subroutine code once from dictionary call
Bill, A little while ago there was a thread about running totals, and the same problem of initialization came up.

Re: [U2] [UV] Type 30 Semaphore Stuck - HELP!!!
Scott,
If you have UVNET, there is a work around that I came up with: Create
a shadow account with all file pointers that go to dynamically
hashed files repointed to the network version of the file name, ie
myserver!/diskpath. Then repoint your UniObjects to the shadow
account.
The UVNET version of the rpc mechanism does not have the same problem
closing dynamic files as UniObjects.

Re: [U2] Re: ODBC Connection Hanging Around
Kevin, It sounds as though the server is seeing the disconnects, but the client is not getting the response back to recognize that it is truly disconnected. Therefore the object is waiting on a response. I am not sure if the driver is thread safe, but I would not count on it. I might suggest putting all your communications code in a separate module and subroutine. Also don't wait on the response since it seems like the closing is actually happening. Make all the object variables local to that module/subroutine so that when that routine exits they will fall out of scope and should get cleaned up.

Re: [U2] Record Locking Problems
I assume that the SUB.LOCKED.SOH.RO is called to do the lock and then returns. The problem is that you open the file in this routine to do the locking against. Once this subroutine ends that file handle will go out of scope (it was defined local to this subroutine) and the file is closed. That releases the lock. The best way would be to pass in an open file handle. If that is not possible for some reason then open the file to a variable defined in named common and test to see if it is already open using FILEINFO() before attempting to do the open. such as: COMMON /MY.FILE.HANDLES/ F.THIS.FILE IF FILEINFO(F.THIS.FILE,0) = 0 THEN OPEN . END I would prefer passing in the open file handle myself if possible. Named common is very useful, but care needs to be taken in it's use. For example the common memory defined is associated to the process and not the account. Therefore if you logto another account without first exiting U2 the file handle would still be open, BUT pointed at the file in the account where it was opened. You would need to have logic in the logins to test for this or add additional checks (using FILEINFO again for the path where the file is located) Rich Taylor | Senior Programmer/Analyst| VERTIS 250 W.

RE: [U2][UV] Type 18 File Hashing Algorithm
Perry, in Unidata there is the RECORD command which will return the group number to which a record will hash. Unidata does not support type 18 files so I don't know what you will have access to in Universe. If the command exists, you could create and empty file with the appropriate modulo and then execute the RECORD command against this file with whatever aid you choose to use. I can't speak for the overhead in executing this command repeatedly.

Re: [U2] UV Autologout Quirks
I would guess that the result of autologout on Unix or Linux may depend on how Universe was invoked. If it was invoked from a Unix shell, such as ksh, as a command then autologout probably just exits Universe, leaving the user back in the shell. On the other hand, if the original .profile, or a script masking the uv command uses exec uv to start Universe instead, then the user should be completely out of the system after being logged out of Universe. -Rick Nuckolls Lynden Inc.

RE: [U2] Slave Printing Problem
Karen, when we sent output to a slave printer we check to see if the emulator is using a VT100 or WYSE 60 setting. For the VT100, we send CHAR(27):[5i. This turns transparency on. When we are done we send CHAR(27):[4i. For the WYSE 60 we send CHAR(18) to turn on and CHAR(20) to turn it off. I also found some code that used at one time CHAR(27):d% and CHAR(27):d#.

Re: [U2] Putting Universe on a SAN
re SAN's and Universe: DELETE.FILE and RESIZE.FILE will not work on dynamic files that are NFS mounted. (Universe keeps the DATA.30 file open while trying to delete the enclosing directory. This will fail on an nfs mounted directory.) Override the VOC entry with your own version. Do not access a snapshot of a file from the same mount as the original. At least on NetApps, the inode of the snapshot will be the same as the inode of the original. Universe will confuse the data. Besides the usual caveats about making sure that a single machine controls locks for any given file, it is also worthwhile to keep the NFS under a set folders(4-6 or so) and then give each of these folders its own mount point on the host machine. Effectively creating multiple devices under UV. Of course: do not try this without a good UPS. Most SAN's have one built in too. Corruption of a group is still possible, but our experience has been good. My advice would be to replicate snapshots rather than live data (Unless you are using Uv Replication). With snapshots, you can temporarily suspend IO, take a snapshot, and continue. If you are doing live replication at the SAN level, then a major problem (an errant DELETE.FILE, for instance) will be replicated on your backup SAN. Also, suspending IO will avoid catching files in transitional states.

Re: [U2] [UV] Installing UniObjects
The unirpcd is the only thing that is necessary on the server side, and this comes with 10 above. asjava.zip needs to be in the classpath on the client. You will ultimately be better off, I think, if you do two things: Create wrapper classes around the primary asjava classes so that you can modify their behavior. Plan on using middleware, such as servlets, for actually accessing Universe in a production situation. The list could extend for quite a ways. There are enough booby traps there to keep you entertained for a while. More advice: Use subroutines as much as reasonably possible. Create a UvSession interface, and program to it rather than to UniSession. This will help in many ways in the long run. Use a UV subroutine that opens files to common on the back end and hands out the index to the location. (You can only open a small, arbitrary number of UniFiles simultaneously, so the common will allow you to extend that number.) Try to do as much conversion as you can on the host, prior to moving data to the client. The asjava routines do conversions by calling back to the host, which is terrible inefficient. (Or, if you are slightly nuts, you can re-implement the common conversions in Java. Hmmm, maybe I was nuts a while back.) The innards of UniObjects can be confusing at points. If you try to access UV delimited strings outside of the UniDynArray class, you will eventually stumble on character encoding issues, wherein the delimiters are improperly mapped. The problem is that some platforms default to UTF-8 for converting between bytes and characters. The asjava classes could easily deal with this, but they have not. This can be mitigated by using the following option on the Java executable: -Dfile.encoding=iso8859-1 There was an issue, #8776, that was finally fixed in 10.1.22 ( I think), and also in 10.2.1, that can affect Universe adversely if a client session times out or otherwise terminates abruptly. If you are running any client software (UCI, UniObjects for Java, or the other kind), and use dynamic files, then move to a version without this issue. Dangling group locks can be irksome.

Re: [U2] UV - 10.2.2 [not-secure]
Clifton, usa, usm, usp (all the same executable) hang when trying certain operations. They problem evidently started with 10.2.1, and fixed at 10.2.6 (not available for Solaris yet) usa -o -pr0 for instance. Note that uvadmin, the admin menu, etc all execute these and will hang when disabling printers or changing forms. They actually take the appropriate action, it is just that you have to break or or kill the task. The IBM solution seems to be to wait until you open a case, and then send out a copy of usa rev 10.2.0, which works with 10.2.2 usd. I wasted a few hours trying to figure out what I'd done wrong with the spooler in our upgrade. The release notes for 10.2.6 are available for some platforms from the TechConnect availability matrix.

RE: [U2] [UD] Possible causes of corrupt data on a UniData static file
Ed, I have dealt with UniData file corruption in the past and it can be quite difficult to get a handle on it. I have seen files get corrupted by memory failures, processor failures, and disk failures. If this is not due to a hardware issue a file can be corrupted,(or at least used to be corrupted depend on your release) by performing a unix copy (cp -rp) on a file that is being updated, and running guide against a file that me be in use. There could be more issues that haven't been listed. I have also found that running guide against a corrupt file does not always fix the file. In some cases a second check against a file by guide has turned up more errors. There are times when a file has been corrupted, guide can't fix it. I usually make a copy of the file, clear it, and copy the records into it, and run guide against this file. The fact that AE will let you access a record only means the editor can read the record. If you try to change something in the record and file it, you will see errors. We don't use triggers, so I can't comment on that.

Re: [U2] curious EQUATE issue - SOLVED Just want to know if anyone understands WHY?
regarding the example below:
EQU VALID.CC.TYPES TO CHANGE('A.B.D.M.S.V','.',@VM)
The problem with this is that the CHANGE within the EQU will get
evaluated at run time, so it will be done repeatedly if placed within
a LOOP or FOR structure.
You would be better off with the earlier suggestion of
EQU VALID.CC.TYPES TO ('A':@VM:'B':@VM:'D':@VM:'M':@VM:'S':@VM:'V')
The concatenation will be done by the compiler, and the parenthesis
will protect the LOCATE field designator, 1,1 from being
interpreted as an extraction. This does compile, by the way.

Re: [U2] curious EQUATE issue - SOLVED Just want to know if anyone understands WHY?
When the new version of the equate was compiled under Information flavor, the compiler warned that it was a Reality style LOCATE. To its credit, the compiler defers the evaluation of the EQU until it is used, at which point, it evaluates it in context, so the compiler is evaluating VALID.CC.TYPES1,1 as A':@VM:'B':@VM:'D':@VM:'M':@VM:'S':@VM:'V'1,1 The vlist output below gives a good hint as to what is going on. Notice that the field,value is being applied to the last value of the EQU string prior to doing the build with the rest of the codes. In the Reality format, it is legitimate to omit the field,value specifier, in which case the program will do a field level search rather than a value level search. This quirk would only show up with the use of an EQUATE rather than a variable assignment. If you feel compelled to use an EQUATE for the codes, you could overcome the issue with a temporary assignment such as EQU VALID.CC.TYPES TO 'A':@VM:'B':@VM:'D':@VM:'M':@VM:'S':@VM:'V' ...

We display a message informing the user that the connection is broken and they need to log on again. This function has almost no overhead and keeps users from spending several minutes or more on a form, then discovering that nothing was saved. It also solved the timeout issue where people would go into a meeting or out to lunch and their connection would be timed out for inactivity. The function runs from only from 6am to 8pm, their local time. If users go home at night without logging out, their connection is still logged out for inactivity instead of being connected all night.
