It doesn't give me a choice which connector to use. As I said, I can connect to UD 5.2 and UD 7.2 on two different servers with any other client software on my PC (SBClient, UniAdmin, mvDeveloper, VSG) by just entering the server name. On 07/09/2011 02:45, David Jordan wrote: Hi Mecki You

I see a lot of talk about this CONVERT.SQL command. I have never used it. So out of curiosity I'll ask a couple of noob questions... I saw a demo on ODBC for Universe, and the person suggested setting up a new account and creating clean dictionaries for existing files. (by using F pointers). I

I am really confused. If it uses UniObjects, there should be very little need for the ODBC driver and CONVERT.SQL. Can we get a clarification on this? ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org

CONVERT.SQL is only for UniData. DataVu uses UOJ and JDBC. When you actually *run* the queries it does it via SQL. Remember that DataVu can use more than one data source, including SQL databases. This keeps everything uniform and always you to use those data sources together in a more seamless

I've just been setting up DataVu Query as well and the first thing I've noticed is that the documentation installed by the setup process does not match the version of the software installed. Screens are completely different. Daniel McGrath wrote: CONVERT.SQL is only for UniData. DataVu uses

I've managed to get this installed, define a repository, successfully connect to it, and construct a simple query. When I run it I get a pop up that says: Applications Error BIC4. 5 Any thoughts? So far, I would not give this to an end user under any circumstances. Running an ODBC query

Task: Write a BASIC helper program that will, figure out whether or not this routine was previously catalogued locally, normally or globally and then, automatically, after executing a BASIC on it, execute the appropriate CATALOG on it as well. Possible? Useful?

Hi Will, Everything is possible! Your friend in this case is the VCATALOG (verify catalog) command. If you want to do it all in one routine, execute the VCATALOG command from your program, capture and do a check on the output which should indicate how the program was cataloged.Then you could

The help on VCATALOG only seems to imply that it returns verifies or does not verify. How does that tell me if it was catalogued at all, cataloged locally, normally, or globally ? -Original Message- From: Glenn Sallis u...@glennsallis.de To: U2 Users List

Hi Steve There have been 2 betas and I have been on both and requests were made through the Rocket newsletter. The issues are probably a combination of people implementing on a broader spectrum of environments than was tested and also an issue of not being as intuitive to install. Regards
