AW: [U2] Integrating .NET and UniVerse 10
Hi Simon At DB2 Information Management Conference, IBM announced a new extension to UniVerse: U2 Soap Server. It is definitely the way to go for integration with .NET. As it fully supports WSDL, it plugs very nicely into Visual Studio 2003/2005. And Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the future! The only disadvantage: It takes until August 2006 until it is available as part of UniVerse 10.2. But maybe IBM gives you an early version for beta testing? Give it a try!

We are currently evaluating five mechanisms for accessing UniVerse data: * UVODBC * RedBack * PDP.NET (http://www.rainingdata.com/products/connect/dotnet/index.html) * MV.NET (http://bluefinity.com/) * UniConduit (http://www.conduitit.hostecom.com/Products.htm) Does anyone have any experience with these products that would be useful for us to know?

I agree that SOA is a good direction, depending on the application, and I
look forward to seeing what IBM comes up with. Until then, web services
can already be created quickly in Visual Studio with a Wizard and virtually
no coding. The function that's exposed as a service can easily be a
wrapper around any call to a U2 business rule. Diagram example:
webserviceclientnetwebserverwebservicewrappercallBASIC
So all of the plumbing can be done up to the wrapper in a couple minutes,
then people are free to choose what goes into the wrapper to do that
callBASIC part. Example:
[WebMethod]
public string WebService1(string theInput) {
// this is the wrapper, no hint here of underlying communications
return myWrapper.WebService1(theInput);
}
// this function/method is in a class that's instantiated as myWrapper
above
public string WebService1(string theInput) {
string result = ;
mvEnvironment myEnv = new mvEnvironment();
mvAccount myAcct = new mvAccount(uvnt);
myAcct.CallProg(ws1,ref theInput, ref result);
return result;
}
You can replace that second function with syntax from any product we've
discussed here without changing the web service code itself or the
interface presented to the client. This example happens to use mv.NET.
You can even combine results from U2 and other environments, even calling
other web services, and return them as a single response.
Again, I'll be interested in what IBM comes up with, but I just did all of
this in less than 5 minutes to make sure I had my facts straight - what
else can IBM offer us that's going to take them a year to develop?

RE: [U2] XML question on UniData 6.0

[U2] UV and XML Schema
ok. I've been given the task of trying to output a database based on an XML Schema file. (ONIX in particular), for edi purposes. I've played a little with XML, none at all with schema. So I'm looking for a some book titles that will help get me up to speed something of a reference, but also something starts you from scratch. If I need to buy two books, fine.

RE: [U2] UV and XML Schema
If we could get more LUGs interested in the UV PE (under linux) that could help, but the problem here is the MySQL seems to have a better foothold with the PHP/ASP/CGI for web integration. Personnally, I'm working on my own web/cgi/uv gateway for personal use. I tried to get my local UG to see if anyone was interested in an install/talk regarding UV PE, and didn't get much response (actually no response :( ). I think once more of the public were to use PE for home use then there might be more interest in a users manual/programming manual Until UV can work with the ease that perl/MySQL is integrated for non professional use (there are lots-o- free code for MySQL), very little for integrating UV.

RE: [U2] sockets
Cedric Fontaine wrote: Tony Gravagno wrote: Here is a link to the question and answer. http://forums.rainingdata.com/index.php?showtopic=869 Sorry but as a developper of JD3, I disagree that jd3 cannot be used on live site. Since two years we're using jd3 on live sites and it works ! Easily with only 5 jd3 client, a website is serving about 250.000 pages per month. Don't you think that flashconnect is using socket to communicate ? Cedric is referring to a comment I made at that link. I don't want to get into a heated discussion about D3 socket connectivity in a U2 forum, but this is a well known topic which has been discussed elsewhere and it may affect U2 users who work with sockets too. If an MV process dies while it has the handle to a socket server open, the host OS doesn't know about it immediately and may not be able to release the socket resources until the MV DBMS is restarted and MV memory and other resources are released. That means the one and only port that all users rely on to connect into goes non-responsive, and you may need to reboot all users in order to get your connectivity back on one line. This is entirely unacceptable. The fact that MV can't fork or pass handles to child processes to handle web/socket requests compounds the issue because it makes all operations single-threaded unless you have client code that's intelligent enough to do a round-robin among multiple server sockets. FlashCONNECT acts as a client to a middle-tier server, FC is not a server at the DBMS level. You have 64000 socket ports that you can use, so a dead connection is no big deal unless you lose many of these each day. D3 *nix behaves better than D3NT in this regard, and Universe and Unidata will have their own considerations across platforms and releases. The rule of thumb is to trust but verify, and don't simply assume that sockets are a universal solution - pun intended I guess. Comments from someone with a U2 clue are welcome.

RE: [U2] UV and XML Schema
I've seen the other suggestions but I'll add the following: MS .NET is built on XML. One of the core functions of this technology is parsing to/from XML using schema. Rather than trying to parse/interpret/generate raw XML on your own, you may want to consider using free technology that was designed for the purpose, then your interface to/from U2 is plain text in whatever format you want. Some of this is truly as simple as using just a couple lines of code. Regarding books, I'm not to impressed with the XML Bible which I have on the shelf in front of me. I think it was dated as soon as it hit the shelves. That's an important point - get something up to date so that you aren't reading examples of code which the author expects might be valid in the 0.0.2 release of some new protocol. This market evolves very quickly. Tony George Gallen wrote: ok. I've been given the task of trying to output a database based on an XML Schema file. (ONIX in particular), for edi purposes.

PHP and Perl both have native XML handling modules that work either as DOM or SAX parsers and validators. There's the Xerces and Cocoon library sets for lower level languages. I implemented cXML integration long before .NET was even considered a technology in Windows, using samples from the Xerces ANSI C dev kit and some dataBASIC. Regarding books, I'm not to impressed with the XML Bible which I have on the shelf in front of me. I think it was dated as soon as it hit the shelves. That's an important point - get something up to date so that you aren't reading examples of code which the author expects might be valid in the 0.0.2 release of some new protocol. This market evolves very quickly. I don't have the XML Bible and I probably won't buy it. That's like buying a book on buying books. It's really pointless unlesss you have no clue what XML really is. If you know what XML is, you can find tools to help you design a solution or buy the solution you need to make something happen. Regardless, data format specs are typically backwards compatible. The key is to find out what your requirements are, to meet guidelines for the implementation. If you can meet the specs for the current guidelines, then make sure that your design is considerate of additional elements and attributes. Anytime you solidify your design around a single document spec, you'll be stuck there forever or until someone has the guts to rip it all apart and rebuild it. Tony George Gallen wrote: ok. I've been given the task of trying to output a database based on an XML Schema file. (ONIX in particular), for edi purposes. I've played a little with XML, none at all with schema. So I'm looking for a some book titles that will help get me up to speed something of a reference, but also something starts you from scratch. If I need to buy two books, fine. Check out this MARC to ONIX translation map for XML reference. There is a MARC::XML module for Perl, if the data you're access is in MARC format. http://www.loc.gov/marc/onix2marc.html#mapping There is a raw XML parser on http://picksource.com, which I posted a long time ago. It translates the elements, attributes/values, and element values into a 3-dimensional MV array. Patrick Payne posted a GPL XML tool kit, which provides node extraction, node insertion, and other useful functions.
