I hope this review will be helpful, by someone who has used them all. Back in the late 80's to early 90's I was a ViaDuct fan. Around 1994 I was introduced to wIntegrate and found it more capable. Around 1995 I was introduced to AccuTerm and I found a permanent home. AccuTerm is quite simply (IMHO) the best terminal emulator in the MV industry. It has a ton of features that every MV developer can appreciate. Just get it and start using it and you'll see what I mean. There is a helpful user forum, a lot of people who know it very well, excellent product support with rapid code changes if required, and you can get AccuTerm GUI training. No matter what you do, you're going to have to get away from ViaDuct, and if you go to anything else there is going to be a lot of conversion effort. This is the price that's paid for building so heavily into a specific product. For better or worse you'd do the same thing with AccuTerm but if you're going to get in deep with any product, this is a reasonable one. While I recommend AccuTerm GUI for a Pick developer who doesn't like to use mainstream tools, I personally don't think it's right business approach for a diverse end-user base. It's thick-client only and connects via Telnet or SSH. That is a fine solution for focused audiences. If you have any interest in an extranet or internet audience where a browser is used, then you may want to invest your time in mainstream tools. Personally I use AccuTerm all the time to get into all MV environments while I'm building browser GUI - these things are not in conflict. AccuTerm does have AccuTerm for Internet Explorer which is a plugin to allow browser users to access your system, but when people say they want a browser UI this isn't what they have in mind. Try it for yourself. I should also mention that the AnzioWin terminal emulator from Rasmussen Software (anzio.com) seems to be a more apples to apples competitor for SecureCRT. I wish I could take all the mainstream features of AnzioWin and mash them up with the MV-specific features of AccuTerm. I actually use both of these products, having used SecureCRT, Putty, and other mainstream options in the past.

That is, they are quite different.

Re: [U2] Software Test
Hi, we used an automated tester called Testpro a few years ago. You can set it up to run through your system using data in a file as input or you can load the script with the data. It works by recording what you do and capturing the screen output. It works..BUT it takes longer to maintain the scripts then do the changes. The overhead proved to much, we had about 30 developers at the time. We produce test plans for everything we do. It is the standard of the test plan and the quality of the person doing the testing that counts. Good luck Les Sherlock Hewkin Project Manager Group Financial Systems I.T.

A successful test is one that *finds* errors in the code. If no errors are found, then either there aren't any (and that's highly unlikely,) or the tests aren't good enough to trigger the problems. Ideally, you get a hold of someone who knows the application very well, and has a demonic streak. Have that person follow the strategy Ken Hall suggested in the earlier post. If they are immediately successful (i.e. finding errors,) track the rate of error discovery. When the rate falls below, say one per day, you might be at a cutoff point. Get a second opinion from another destructive expert if you can, particularly if the first fails (i.e. finds no errors.) Basically, nothing beats an application expert bent on breaking the software for finding bugs the fastest. What your boss is proposing to do is to kill several hundred bacteria by boiling the ocean. Managing test case coverage for a typical application is a huge task.

Smart companies train their employees and let them constantly learn new skills (and pay them decent salaries as well).

Once the data is found a IE html document is displayed to screen. We keep the date in the record id, so a record written today would first try the PRINT.TODAY file, then the PRINT.HIST.0608 (which does not get created until after 5 pm on the first business day of the month), then the INTERIM.LETTERS file. Each night after 5 pm all data in the file PRINT.TODAY is moved to current month year file. Tonight it would be the PRIINT.HIST.0608 file, normally it would find that the file isn't there and create it. On the first business day of the month, this file has not yet been created and when the process gets to that file something is happening that causes the next file INTERIM.LETTERS to be skipped. When they decided the problem must be that the file is not there yet and had me create the file, the problem went away. Our VB programmers say they have checked every error they can think of and the process is not returning an error that they can recognize.

Folks,
We have some process improvement people who are keen to reduce manual
key-boarding effort by setting up some large-scale scanner / OCR devices
and interfacing them to our UniVerse systems.
[I'd rather avoid the paper forms altogether and get XML streams from
the document originators, but ...]
Anyone got any experience on this kind of gear?
I'm clueless about this (Google next, I guess), so ideas on brand names
etc would be helpful.
Thanks
Mike

RE: [U2] Single Signon for U2 - Identity Management ?
Hi, Are you looking for something like a CITRIX server? With CITRIX you publish to users the applications they are allowed to have. We run Wintegrate, word ... Etc as well as our VB apps from just one place.

You know how when you go to bed sometimes and your brain keeps thinking about some problem... I've been thinking this isn't possible in U2 environment, but sometime during the night I resolved to ask the question. Does anyone know of an Identity Management Suite that is U2 aware? This data security issue represents the next frontier for programmers, for solution providers, for network analysts. Who is the frontiersman in the U2/MV space? What we need - single signon and immediate access to those systems, servers, storage that your identity allows. Whatever you don't have rights to, you can't see (an old Novell concept that Microslop still doesn't get). Does anyone know about an IDM solution that interoperates with the major *nix OS's that U2 is ported to?

RE: [U2] FILE EXPORT
Do you have a connection to both machines from one PC If so then you can use a terminal emulator like Wintegrate to do a bridge copy or some people call it a peer to peer copy. You have two sessions, one contacted to each machine, you tell your emulator what you want to copy and where you want it to go and set it running. I have done this in the past when working on remote machines.

Mark I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO RESPOND THERE! SO YOU PREFER CODE THAT SHOUTS BACK AT YOU?

Whether we like it or not, perception is important. Whilst we are trying to position/encourage UniVerse, UniData et al as modern and up to date systems with a strong history, it makes sense to write in ways that match the expectations of new developers who are brought up with current conventions: that includes mixed case coding, legible styles and formats that can be genuinely expressive - like not using field numbers for example (a REAL bugbear of mine). Not using ED helps, of course. Before anyone jumps in - no I don't advocate rewriting existing code in this way. But quickly scan the following two sections and see which one reads faster. If you've been brought up around Delphi, Java, C#, VB, ASP or any of the 'modern' languages I'm willing to bet the first will be considerably quicker.

This is on universe thought.
Disable logons (done in our menu system, it logs users off after they logon)
Do a port status to find out who is on the system
Send messages to the users giving them a countdown to being logged off
Do another port status to find out who is still logged on
Do Master OFF for those still logged on
start evening work
.
.
Finish evening work
Enable logons
Not as much help as you were looking for, I didn't read the Unidata in the

But you're on the right track.

Hi Group,
I'm using Unidata 6.1 on a Windows 2000 server.
I'm having problems when I run a backup (using Arcserver) if users do not
disconnect their sessions correctly the backup fails.
I'm looking for a way to run a batch file before the backup which does the
following:
- Prevents future logins
- Send a message to all logged in users saying Session will
disconnect in 3 minutes
- Sleep for 1 minute
- Send a message to all logged in users saying Session will
disconnect in 2 minutes
- Sleep for 1 minute
- Send a message to all logged in users saying Session will
disconnect in 1 minute
- Sleep for 1 minute
- Logoff any logged in users
Perform backup
Then run another batch file which just restores the login function.
Has anyone done this or can you give me any clues as to how and which
commands to use, particularly the commands to stop logins, logoff all users
(preferably in one command) and to allow logins again.
Many thanks
Barry

So what did they do? yes you got it. At the start of the routine they started a transactions and at the end of the routine they ended the transactions. Guess what? the lock table filled up and the whole thing fell over. The fun you have with transactions is endless :-) Les -Original Message- From: Stevenson, Charles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 June 2005 18:50 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Best practice for Sequential IDs using TRANSACTION START COMMIT/RO... From: Les Hewkin What would you call a really big transaction? A transaction should encompass all updates that should happen (or be abandoned) as a group in order to insure logical data integrity at the application layer. Let me use an example, keeping the preceding statement in mind. (Please don't belabour the details. This is just to get the broad idea.) Suppose out in the real world, a car gets repaired. This is one chunk of work that the customer typically signs off on and pays as a whole. In a database application representing this bit of reality, at some point there is a work order that needs to be posted. Maybe - ~maybe~if you design it right - pieces of it can be posted as separate transactions in an attempt to keep transactions as small as possible, but to completely post the work order: - multiple parts each need to be moved from, inventory to car. - associated double entry journal entries need to happen to keep accountants happy. - some low-stock condition might trigger automatic re-order of some parts. (one could argue this is separate, but depending on how it is programmed this may end up nested in this Transaction) - some parts might be consignment and vendor info needs to be updated. - serial numbered parts might require special treatment. - mechanic's (plural?) hours need to be recorded in timekeeping system. - associated accounting journal entries. - Invoice needs to be created. - customer info updated. - maybe immediate payment: associated accounting updates. - Car history needs updating (let's say this is a regular customer we track his cars) - warranty or rebate info needs to be sent or queued for auto manufacturer. - more accounting journal entries? - Multiple user-defined cross-reference files (if/when native indexing not used) Under normal circumstances all that happens as one big lump (at least your business user hopes so. But one can imagine scenarios where part of the repair is in dispute, the customer agreed to part of the work, or is unhappy, etc. ) so normally a given repair is either Open or Closed. One might program it so that this post is one TRANSACTION, maybe with nested TRANSACTIONs within it. These would be really big transactions. There may be a lot of processing that happens between TRANSACTION START and COMMIT. Anywhere along the line some abnormality might cause a TRANSACTION ABORT. All of these would have to happen as a unit, or be rejected as a unit in order for the DB (at an application level) to remain self-consistent. If one were smart, one could invent stand-alone partial posts where one transaction involved one part or one labour entry, etc.. But even in those cases, each transaction would have to update part, or labor info, the repair record, and accompanying accounting journal entries all as one unit to maintain application integrity. These would still be big if not really big transactions. In either case, each transaction would involve multiple updates to files. More than one file /or record may involve sequential ids. Going into the transaction one might not know all that will be needed. Pessimistic and optimistic locking methods changes what one knows as a transaction begins. If you place a readu lock as soon as you read the record, then do the processing and decision making within the transaction, the transaction takes longer and locks remain set longer. If you do the processing first, then you know the updates required before you TRANSACTION START and re-read, placing readu locks, and compare what you expected with what you got. Almost all applications have one central document (like the repair order above) that everything revolves around. It usually defines the relationships to most of the other major entities in the db. There are usually updates that involve that central document and the entities connected to it. Those updates usually have to happen as a group, one logical transaction, for the sake of application data integrity. This is the sort of thing I was thinking about when I posed the question of how to control sequential ids, releasing that control ASAP within big transactions. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org
RE: [U2] Best practice for Sequential IDs using TRANSACTION START COMMIT/RO...
Hi, Just got back from a short break camping so sorry for the late reply. What would you call a really big transaction? I look at it like this. You have to write the data away, you need the next seq number, so everyone else can wait. How long does it take to write away data to disk? We split lots of the seq numbers down. We use the cost center that the user works in as part of the record key. This means lots of control records but not many problems. It all revolves around getting the lock on the control record first. Think of how a manual system would work. Someone wants to put a file in a filling cabinet but someone else is already there, they wait for the other person to finish what they are doing. The amount of time you have to wait is minimal. The only problem you get is when someone new comes along and doesn't understand about locking the control record first. Hope this helps Les.

Any attributes outside the range of the dim are added to the last dim(?). So what you want to do is ok as long as you are aware of how the data is being held.

Not being conclusive, but often times the code looks nice but there's way too much 'air' in the program at the expense of being better in the logic area. Certainly I've not read everyone's code. But what I've seen over the years has taught me that when I see grandness, that grandness takes a 200 line program and makes it 700. Case in point: *** * * OPEN MD FILE * *** OPEN ,MD TO F.MD ELSE ERRMSG=CANNOT OPEN THE MD FILE. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR PROGRAMMER GOSUB 9 STOP END * * * OPEN PRODUCT FILE * * OPEN ,PRODUCT TO F.PRODUCT ELSE ERRMSG=CANNOT OPEN THE PRODUCT FILE. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR PROGRAMMER GOSUB 9 STOP END * * END OF OPENING FILES * What gets me is the time spent to make the asterisks match the length of the comments. I see your variable assignment style a lot yet if a new variable were needed, say CUSTOMER.LAST.SALE.DATE = would you re-indent all of the other variables just to look pretty? (I don't mean pretty in a derogatory way, I mean to spend your time and the client's $ for something that really doesn't matter) I know that there are some system-generated source code 4GL's that may create the comments for you. But I can see past that with the inconsistent content of the actual code. There is a command which escapes me now that formats source code (not necessarily databasic) in the editor to match old-school BAL programming. I've tripped over it by accident and then lose my changes as I EXit and then re-edit to not have all the 'air'. Some could argue that a 200 line program becoming 700 could fall under the concept of standardized programming or making it easier for the next guy. Well, I'm that 'next guy' plenty of times and since it's very inconsistent, it's certainly not a standard. I could write a book on the wide variety of programming 'standards' I've inherited and the ineffeciencies found. It's unfortunate that in my travels the grandness happens to have a related brother of reduced logic and a more brute force approach. It's just harder to research with all of that clutter.

RE: [U2] UniObject Licening
Have a look at Redback. We use UniObjects for VB applications but Redback for web based applications. Redback uses a server process to cut down the number of licenses used.

RE: [U2] Passing a SELECT ID if it's not in the file...
George,
Lists are just items held in a file, SAVEDLISTS.
Run a program that creates a list for you and then just do a get list.

Subject: [U2] Passing a SELECT ID if it's not in the file...
I have a paragraph that does...
SELECT FILE WITH @ID = TARGET
RUN PROGRAM
{Program}
LOOPS THROUGH READNEXT ID'S
IF ID IS IN FILE IGNORE OTHERWISE PUT IN FILE
This works fine if TARGET exists in the FILE.
How would can I force the TARGET to be in an
active select list if it's not in the file?
Keeping in mind this is in a paragraph.
I tried:
0001: PA
0002: * A,Enter ID
0003: EDIT-LIST
0004: DATA I
0005: DATA Enter ID
0006: DATA FI
0007: GET-LIST
0008: LIST FILE
But I'm stuck at the EDIT-LIST. How do I tell it a unique listname
, unique for the PID anyway.
For Instance, If you say SAVE-LIST (noname), it saves it using a unique name
for the PID, and GET-LIST (noname) will get this list. But is there
anyway to get this uniquename for EDIT-LIST?
George

Hello, I am currently writing an application in VB.Net that communicates with Universe servers via UVSH.EXE (can't use Uniobjects as not all our users install them or allows them) I have hit a problem where I am trying to create a file via UVSH.EXE as it appears I am limited to one line commands, unless anyone knows differently? The problem is that I am trying to create a type 19 file and although the help file on Universe states I can do this with one line, Universe itself doesn't seem to alllow it. In the help file it says the following: CREATE.FILE [DICT | DATA] [filename [, datafile]] [type] [modulo] [separation] [parameter [value]...] [description] Am I incorrect in understanding the TYPE option to be the file type? For an example to this I am typing (following the above) CREATE.FILE TESTFILE 19 1 3 which I would expect to create me a type 19 file, but it creates a type 18 file! Is there something I am doing wrong here or is the help file incorrect? I have tried this on Universe 10.0.4 and 10.1.0 and both versions seem to act the same.
