Re: [U2] Replacements for Old SB?
What also doesn't help is that SB+ was rebranded as System Builder, i.e. the same name as the old product. I recall using the wrapper Brian refers to convert old screens - it was only really a half-way house and any screen with any complexity ended up being re-written anyway. Tony Gravagno 3xk547...@sneakemail.com wrote in message news:316-1363123376-413...@sneakemail.com... From Wjhonson Of all the jobs posted over the past several years, several have asked for SB+ experience, none have asked for any other product of that class. I'll respond to that here because it dove-tails with what I have below. You don't see ads, in-part, because the sites still running the old software are largely not aware that an MV community exists that might respond to such an ad. Many of them don't even know what software they have running on their DOS system. Most of them that I run across have no consultants (I dare say Value-Add Reseller) who strongly insists on upgrades. The result is that they only reach out to the world after a hard drive failure, hurricane, or some other catastrophe. More below. From: Brian Leach So an 80% conversion is easy .. Yeah, everyone claims to do 80%, some only really do 50%. But we all know it's that last 20% that occupies your time for the next year or three. So perhaps to further refine the query, I'm looking for tools that really do bring us closer to that 95-98% mark - with no marketing fluff to bridge the gap between there and 80%. I don't have any immediate opportunities but I keep stumbling on these poor sites. And if I do, and picking up orphans isn't my business, then you gotta know that people who do go after that business must be finding more of these. Some of these sites have gone through developers (aka snake-oil salesmen) who claim they're going to convert the software but never do, and eventually the sites just migrate away from MV. It's a terrible story. [uh oh, soapbox alert] You'd think the MV DBMS providers would take some interest in this but I've yet to see any of them pro-actively offer assistance to any of these sites, for-fee or otherwise. I know the original intent was to discontinue support for SB and earlier SB+ in an effort to force end-users to migrate to U2. That tactic worked for some sites but the people who implemented that policy simply didn't have a plan-B for the large number of sites that didn't fall for it. They were thinking about starving out their DBMS competition by leveraging this tool. What actually happened is that end-users decided not to upgrade their DBMS just so they could keep using SB, and these sites migrate away from the model as soon as some young nephew comes along. So everyone loses with this predatory approach. I'm not asking any company to maintain software when it's not in their financial interest, nor to chase small sites that are more inclined to drop support than to migrate to a new platform. But from a marketing perspective we all lose when a policy like this is only half-implemented.

Re: [U2] [UD] Multi-Level Files
Am not sure why you would be getting the last hashed dictionary item passed. However, I think you would need to pass something other than @ID to your subroutine - a multivalue of files via another I descriptor with subroutine. Don't know about in UniData but in UniVerse VOC4 has M and 7 an mv of data sections. The file to open is AccountPath/APOPEN/HISTORY for instance. As an alternative you could try using a Q pointer to each data section. HTH Brett Bill Haskett wphask...@advantos.net wrote in message news:5095a055.8090...@advantos.net...

Re: [U2] RESIZE - dynamic files
Almost. Though the file will look after itself, it may not do so very well. Dynamic files, for best performance, do sometimes need periodic resizing. Having said that it is true that some never resize Dynamic files. If the minimum modulo is much lower than the actual, then this will cause constant splits to occur if the file is constantly growing. The 80% actual load is further indication of this. What can be even worse is if the file then shrinks dramatically in this case as very intensive merges will takes place - not desirable if you expect the file to grow again. In this case I would choose a new modulo greater than the actual - how much bigger depends on the rate of growth expected. That is with the current separation - the best separation you will only determine by examining the size of the records.

Looks like UOJ is getting mature. In my situation, it is attractive since we use Domino and Unidata extensively.

Not quite the same as Domino, I realize, but at least under the same IBM Java middleware umbrella. I can't offer a lot the way of best practices, but I can say that the combination is robust and trouble-free. This is more OS related, but if you're connecting to or from a linux box you need to make sure the LANG environment variable is set correctly. The RedHat default is incorrect for UOJ (at least up to EL 5) and will result in MV delimiters being incorrectly translated into other ascii characters. RedHat EL 5 stores the LANG value in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and the official setting I was given by IBM is en_US.iso885915. The above has caused me many problems in both web applications and running UOJ on mobile devices. I got a debugger out and went through what is happening, it appears UOJ is using deprecated routines within java and writing invalid data to the udcs server. The deprecated routines are using the systems character encoding to convert 16bit java characters to 8bit bytes. As the host systems character encoding is variable thus different data will be sent to the server depending on what location and operating system is used. Roughly the uniobjects conversion routines grab the java system property file.encoding which is meant for reading and writing files and use it directly and indirectly to write data to the socket. Quick fix is on the java command line -Dfile.encoding=iso8859_1 Warning: once java program is running ie System.setProperty(file.encoding,iso8859_1) does not work as a bunch of system level stuff is cached on startup. The above quick fix has many bad side effects as the java process now has the wrong character encoding to read and write files on the local system and has caused me issues in third party libraries which expect to be able to read and write files correctly. ie my web server should be emitting utf8 for maximum compatibility but is putting out iso8859_1 for most files thanks to this quick fix It would be better for the rocket engineers to decide on a character encoding to talk to the server with and set it as a separate define(or hard code it maybe), according to oracle the basic encodings below should be available on most jvms : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of GPM Development Ltd.

Re: [U2] U2 known issues, patches
Thanks for the updates on this Wally, that is very informative. If by 'notice' file, you refer to the Alert link next to each release number, then I can only see this if I log in. This is certainly an improvement but does not really address the issue here. It would seem that the best way we have of getting this information is through this forum. And that is only useful if you know what question to ask! I have an issue right now where I would like to choose the right version to evaluate for a client.

Re: [U2] The math just doesn't work.
Hi Martin, Ok, have re-run with PRECISION 14. I now get: 0.0058210 0.0058211 So, the difference is 5.8 * 10^-11 which I can see is greater than the standard Wide Zero setting. The realisation for me here is that PRECISION has nothing to do with the precision of the calculation, it only effects display. Thanks for the insight.

Hi George, As a general rule in programming, comparison of floating point values for equality should be avoided. This is because, just as we cannot write the number one third accurately in decimal notation, so the IEEE floating point format used by computer systems cannot store numbers accurately. The example that I use when teaching training courses is 14.2 which actually ends up as something close to 14.197. UniVerse gets around this with a wonderful concept called wide zero that says, when testing for equality of floating point numbers, they must be within some specified value of being equal rather than strictly equal. The default wide zero error tolerance, set in IEEE format with the WIDEZERO configuration parameter, is 2.91 * 10^-11 (2^ 035) which is good for most business applications but occasionally needs adjusting. Unidata has a command, SET.WIDEZERO, to serve the same purpose but defaults to 0.0 for backward comaptibility.

With a web page there is a cost of time for downloading a web page and a performance issue with screen loading. With an app, I conform to the user interface of the phone which are more intuitive to a phone user. The app loads quicker and runs quicker. However if you have users using android, blackberry, iphone, etc then you need to create a separate app for each phone. With the new phones you need to load the app from the marketplace which is difficult for an enterprise application. Hence the decision to use an app vs web is related to performance and intuitive interface vs portable and easier to load. Remember also that most phones have no virus protection and are a potential risk area for Trojans and viruses for web interfaces. An app is a bit more secure. Again there are other features I can use on the phone such as sending a spreadsheet of KPIs to the phone rather than having an application to access KPIs. There are just too many ways to skin a cat.

Re: [U2] Val on UniDynArray produces unexpected results
Scary indeed, we had to go through this frightful exercise. I think it is not a Val that you need to search on, rather it is the multiple extracts.

Re: [U2] Question on UniVerse VOC record for CREATE.FILE
It is probably the options in attribute 4 that drive this. Anyway, to set long name support on an account type, try this from the UV account: LONGNAMES ON NEWACC,PICK You can then see what the verb should look like. You may want to take a backup copy of your original first though. HTH Brett Doug Farmer dfar...@epicor.com wrote in message news:dbd320e216b98b4d842bb357e46c0788cd7...@basalt.americas.epicor.net... I am mainly a UniData person, so UniVerse is a bit foreign to me. I am running UniVerse on a Windows Platform. Using the CREATE.FILE command, I created a file with a long name (15 characters) with my standard VOC pointer, and the VOC pointer in the UV\NEWAC,PICK file. Using the CREATE.FILE verb in my VOC, I am able to create the file correctly. Using the verb as it is on the NEWAC,PICK file, it truncates the file name. This, even though the LONGNAMES is on.

Re: [U2] DEBUG mode on a UniObjects connections
Agreed with COMO comment. Depending on your version of Universe you may also
be able to:
1. TANDEM to the UniObjects port. This should enable you to interact with the
debugger.
2. See any errors produced by looking at the runtime error log (create a file
called errlog in the uvhome)
In general it is better to prevent any routines called via UniObjects from
accepting any input. It is preferable to try and return an error condition to
the caller.

Subject: [U2] DEBUG mode on a UniObjects connections
Hi all,
I'm new to the list, and hope that someone may have the answer to a
problem which is causing me a lot of headaches at the moment.
I'm using VB6 and UniObjects to connect to a Universe Database.
I call DataBasic routines from the VB6 client.
All works fine, until there is a problem in the databasic code, which
sends it into DEBUG.
The client screen locks up, and my talking screenreader goes into sulk
mode, which normally means I have to reboot.
I wouldn't expect anyone on the list to solve the screenreader problem,
but sighted colleagues have reported similar experiences with this type
of connection.
Is this a bug in UniObjects, or did I set it up wrongly.
Many thanks for any ideas,
Dave

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1 ODBC Threading Problems?
Hi Kevin, The issue we have had is to with Universe and ODBC and more particularly to do with ODBC reads preventing Universe-side writes. However, you don't seem to be getting much response with your issue specifically so maybe this could help. Make sure that your ODBC DSN entry on the client refers to the account and file via its U2 name, i.e. from the perspective of the U2 server. The problem we identified was caused by a reference to a file via its UNC path in the DSN settings. This in turn created an Exclusive Lock on the entire file on the server (Windows in this case). HTH Brett Kevin King [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Is the Unidata 7.1 ODBC driver thread/process safe? As I've written in previous posts, one of my customers has this Zeacom phone system that has the ability to call a (VBScript) script to gather information from a back-end database so that it can display that information for a customer service rep handing the call. Conceptually, it's really slick. I had originally written the script using UniObjects, but the customer demanded that we use only ODBC to gather the information from Unidata, so I rewrote the script using ODBC. This script opens a connection to Unidata, calls a subroutine, gathers the results, and then returns the text result to the phone system. Like I said, it's really slick... ...except when there are two calls that come in basically at the same time. If there's a open ODBC connection to Unidata processing one call and another call comes in and opens up another ODBC connection (from the same Windows machine from a different process) one or both of the connections craps out, leaving a connection open and a license consumed. We can log these off with UniAdmin no problem, but it's a hassle having to watch the user table pretty much all day to prevent all of the licenses from being consumed. The message as logged by the phone system looks like this: 11:33:46.26 01803d90 QueryThread x755fe0: !! ERROR !! QmScript::Script: Error 0x80004005 Line 114 'D:\Program Files\Zeacom\CTI\Enhanced Routing\EnhancedRouting.vbs' line 114: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed Line 114 of this script is opening the ODBC connection. Not only did this particular connection fail, but the connection that was in progress when this one was started died unexpectedly as well, leaving an open connection and consumed license. This script really isn't rocket science, and it's vexing me that we can't seem to have multiple open ODBC connections from the same Windows server into Unidata. Is this just a fact of life with Unidata and ODBC, or is there a solution? -Kevin http://www.PrecisOnline.com --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

[U2][UV] ODBC causes data loss
A warning to all: using 'read only' ODBC reporting on Universe and with a DSN that references a UNC path, rather than the account path (or name) relative to the server, creates read-write pipes on the server. This in turn can lead to data loss as whole groups in dynamic files go missing. We have reproduced this on versions 10.1.11 10.2.3.

Re: [U2] Locks in subroutines
It's interesting how one man's feature is another's bug... coming from a Pick/AP/D3 background I was horrified to encounter this behaviour in Universe. I am not convinced by the encapsulation argument here. If the lock is truly local to the file variable then should a READU in the subroutine be respected by other instances elsewhere? Of course it should and so should the release. I would contend that a global RELEASE with just a file variable (or worse none at all) is bad programming practice anyway... My tuppence. Brett Martin Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi all, Very quick testing on my home machine, (Win2K and Universe PE) suggests that if you pass the opened file pointer from the main to the cataloged routine it works as you would expect. If however, you do the file open within the subroutine it releases the lock when you return to the calling program. -- Allen Egerton Although most programmers think of the lock as being related to the file, it is actually related to a particular instance of opening the file via the associated file variable. The behaviour described by Allen above is what you should expect. This is an essential feature of the language. If I open a file in a subroutine and either explicitly release all my locks using the variant of RELEASE with only a file variable or I simply close the file while I have locks in place, this should not (must not) affect other parts of my application that may have locks in the same file. This all comes down to the programming theory concept of encapsulation where one part of an application should not need to know anything about what it happening elsewhere. Note that if I copy the file variable, these are both references to the same file instance and locks are shared between the two file variables.
