[U2] Universe and ADO connections
Anyone out there have a list of the various ADO connectors for Universe? I'm looking for pros and cons of the various offerings. We had been using the data provider from IBM and now have Rocket's version. As we have experienced some issues,I need to know what is available as options to possibly migrate our current web applications over to. New management and customer complaints about the web applications are a bad combination. Thanks in advance.

Re: [U2] Universe and ADO connections
Tony, As we already have working models, the concern would be things like use of connection (session) pooling licenses, the ability to return datasets directly from Universe (we use SQLDirect) and overall performance. We haven't totally split the tiers but are headed down that path so we'd be close. I would be interested in discussing this further.

It exposes the MV environment as tables, rows, columns, and stored procedures for all CRUD, rather than files, items, attributes, and BASIC programs, respectively. So the ADO.NET developer gets what she/he needs without being a Pick expert. The queries to U2 are pseudo-SQL, rather than being something like SQL-92 compliant. The idea here is that the MV developer(s) collaborate with the .NET developer(s) to craft queries with Where, and OrderBy clauses, where we would normally use WITH and BY. For anything more complex the best approach is to expose a BASIC subroutine as a stored proc, and accept parameters. mv.NET includes Adapter Objects to help keep non-Pick people happy, but also included is Core Objects, which is more of a Pick-like interface. This is a super-set of UO.NET. mv.NET uses UO.NET as a basic lower-level transport and wraps round it a more powerful set of functionality. If you already abstract your UI from the middle-tier and the data (Business Access Layer=BAL, Data Access Layer=DAL...) then replacing existing code should not be a challenge. mv.NET also includes Solution Objects, which generates strongly typed classes - completely abstracting you away from database queries. This will be familiar to those who know NHibernate, CSLA, the .NET Entity Framework, and other ORM tools. You generate collection classes like Customers which encapsulate instances of Customer, and those might have methods like .Save or .UpdateSalesRep. So the mechanics of data access are eliminated and the classes are usable by anyone independent of their experience with RDBMS or Pick. There are also built-in facilities for session pooling, Web Services, Silverlight, and other common requirements. Please feel free to contact me for more information, including mentoring and other services to help with the conversion.

Any suggestions?
Yes. I think you need the ?REPLACE? function. There is a function that
replaces one string with another. It might be EREPLACE instead.
Anyways. Read the BASIC manual - it is there.

Corrections are welcome: 1) U2.NET is essentially an old version of mv.NET (a fork). A license to the source was purchased by IBM from BlueFinity. It's essentially v3.2.x (?) frozen in time. Not quite, U2.NET has it's origins in mv.NET but has since been developed on by IBM/Rocket. I understand that Initially the work focussed on making it more performant and on improving the installability of it. It is now a fully fledged Rocket product with a development path of it's own. 2) It has not progressed in sync with mv.NET to support new features like Solution Objects (code generation of strongly-typed business classes) or the new extended support for Silverlight. No license was purchased by IBM/Rocket for ongoing enhancements or fixes from BlueFinity. Again, not quite. Bluefinity don't develop U2.NET it is a Rocket product with a development path and development team of it's own. It won't develop in sync with mv.NET or with anything else, it is an independent product with it's own development path. 3) Where the same mv.NET software can be used across almost all Pick/MV platforms, U2.NET hase been restricted to operating only with U2. I really don't get this. Land Rover make aftermarket products for Land Rovers, they don't make them for Jeeps. U2 represents the overwhelming majority of the mv market, it would be perverse of them to even consider making their tools work with anything other than U2. What you will get with a Rocket product is something that is designed for and written for U2. As UniVerse and UniData move forwards so the tools move forwards with them, and vice versa. 4) I originally thought and hoped that it would be provided free to the U2 client base. I really wanted to use U2.NET as an alternative to UO.NET and mv.NET for sites where it was better suited. But to my surprise this severely and intentionally limited product (in current features and its future) is being sold to U2 sites at a price comparable to mv.NET itself. If you want free then you should be looking at IBM.NET (soon to be renamed), with is an ADO.NET provider with add ins for Visual Studio, including support for SSIS and SSRS, LINQ, Silverlight and support for U2 Automatic Data Encryption. With it, you can access your U2 Data with SQL commands (like select, insert), U2 style access too (U2 Subroutines, unnest, DynArray Class, CALL LIST and SQLExecDirect), or through XML (TOXML, GETXMLSUB, XmlAdapter) and with Object Data access (LINQ to Entity, EDM Model).

Re: [U2] Command logging in Universe 10.2.1
One thing to consider is the command stacks that are written to savedlists which has the command line activity. Not gospel as they can be manipulated but something.If it were me, I'd lock down command line access and/or the commands themselves. In past lives, I've had wrappers around system commands that did whatever logging was necessary.For example ED ran our special version which took the command line options and logged them and verified that the particular user was 'authorized' to use ED or access the file they entered. Another method might be to COMO everything and change the name of the COMO command to something only your administrator knows so no one could 'COMO OFF'. Of course you'd need to lock down VOC changes and access to the UV account and certain system tables.

No mention of it anywhere on the Rocket site. Thanks, Mike Randall ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

RE: [U2] U2.NET question
One thing I've noticed is that the names for the various products are very convoluted. They have U2.Net, Mv.Net, Uniobjects.Net, yada yada yada. The free tool is the .Net Data Provider. I'm using that to link U2 to the .Net apps.

RE: [U2] Straw Poll - what GUI do you/would you use?
.Net has become my environment of choice. The Visual Studio IDE is fantastic and the character based U2 stuff that I've used since the 80's seems archaic and I'm not going back. Microsoft has tools, integration and support that's hard to match. I've become very proficient in both C# and VB.Net and totally agree with you that they are pretty equal as far as application development. VB.Net is easier (readable) but C# is the current 'sexy' language (more object oriented) and more in demand. One thing I've noticed is that no matter what the platform, the key to success seems to be in the ability to efficiently architect your solutions. In the .Net world, that is n-tiered with reusable class libraries. That's the where the talked about improvements in development speed and quality are achieved. Regarding the original post: 1) I think there are only 2 real mainstream options today, Java based or .Net based. My choice would be based on my current resources and environments. If my environment and people resources lean towards Unix and the 'C' world, I'd explore the Java based technologies. If it's Windows and dialects of Basic, then .Net is probably a better fit If you are coming from the MV world, the leap to .Net and VB.Net is far easier IMO. 2) The pain or joy from gui-izing a character app depends on the level of separation of the source app's presentation from the business layer. I've done several and the most successful are those with some type of existing screen handler where the business logic is already somewhat isolated. Your old-school MV app with the screen logic intermixed with the business logic is far more difficult as you really end up redesigning the entire function. There lies the beauty and power of an n-tier architecture. With each layer defined as separate, callable libraries, you end with an environment that is nimble in regards to changing technologies. Pure gold for software houses and end-user application life cycle and longevity.

RE: [U2] Replication Between Unidata and MySQL
First thing that comes to mind is an update trigger on the Unidata side that captures every write attempt. The trigger could compare the before and after versions of the record and execute a call to a SQL update process that you come up with. The trigger could normalize your data (or whatever you needed done) and could be added with no impact to your application. Mike From: Kevin King [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Replication Between Unidata and MySQL Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 14:30:56 -0700 I have been assigned a unique project and have been given some pretty stringent requirements. Basically the project involves a subset replication of a Unidata database into MySQL. As certain records change in Unidata (6.0) that record is to be flushed to a separate server running MySQL. Off-hours batch updates are not an option at this point, inconsistency between systems is intended to be momentary at best. I can handle the conversion and flattening of the data; that's certainly no deal breaker but keeping the MySQL server updated on a near-realtime basis has me a bit freaked out. Has anyone handled this kind of thing? Is there a connector to MySQL that can be addressed from within Unidata? I could certainly do something with ODBC I would figure but with Unidata running on AIX I'm not sure how exactly I'd move the data to the MySQL server (running on a Win box) directly. Other options off the top of my head include * ...using a http server to update the MySQL instance and using the callHttp interface or... * ...writing a TCP listener to do the updating of the MySQL instance and using Unidata sockets to move the data. However, these will necessitate a bit of code that I'd prefer to avoid.

RE: [U2] UV - Tracking file writes
A trigger would be an ideal method as it's non-intrusive to your existing code. There are some caveats though. Basically you'd create a UNIBASIC program that could have any logic you want. In your case, probably something that writes to an audit file. You then attach this program to your file via a CREATE.TRIGGER command most likely defining it as an UPDATE trigger (there are some rules and parameters that you can get from the docs). Since your goal is to identify processes, the caveat would be how to identify the process. The trigger is based strictly on the file and doesn't really care what process initiated it. Depending on your platform and how your system is put together, @VERB or @SENTENCE might give you what you need or you might have to come up with something different.

RE: [U2] .net - universe 10.1.14
Redback and .Net work perfectly together. I've used it in a variety of applications using both C# and VB.Net. Full power of .Net is available as Redback simply makes U2 available. You can build a Data Access Layer where U2 looks like any other database to .Net. If you are from the .Net/SQL world, you can access your Universe data via ADO same as other databases. If you are not an ADO guru, Redback provides its' own more U2 friendly commands to also access the Universe data and programs. You have total freedom in deciding how much or how little of your business logic to be in U2 or .Net. Unlike like some of the other offerings, Redback is not a 'do something on the web for the U2 programmer' type of application. It is a true enabler to allow you to use U2 with the web and do whatever you can do in your web technology of choice.

RE: [U2] interface into Unidata [ad]
Unidata does indeed support triggers.You can define update and delete routines that are run automatically by the database itself. The trigger would provide you with an API to add additional processing whenever the trigger enabled file is written to. That API hook is a UniBasic routine that has access to the data about to be written and provides you with the opportunity to add any logic you like to it. That could be running another application, writing the data to another file, creating an XML file, running a webservice, etc., etc. whatever the system is capable of.

(I can ask on my side and get an answer on that but I'm sure someone will chime in here.) One of your normal processes will update a unidata file, the trigger sends an event to some remote process which then puts the data into some other application. The other application must have an Application Program Interface (API) which is a plug that we can hook into for importing and exporting data. I personally specialize in understanding these plugs, and connecting products like this with MV apps. This same sort of thing can be done by storing data to a localhost OS file and then spawning another program to process that data, but this may not be possible if your other application isn't on the localhost. Part of the service we provide is getting to understand your topology so that we can recommend effective ways to do these things.

RE: [U2] uvo.net UvBasic .Net
I whole heartedly agree. The green screen is the crusher for our environment. As far as .Net and Visual Studio go, I don't think it takes even that much effort as having Pick Basic as .Net assemblies to modernize or help perception, although that would be terrific. What would be great is simply the ability to use U2 components in the .Net environment as easily as you can those of other databases. The biggest headache/difference is that of data awareness. The current Visual Studio and much more so in VS 2005 allow you to establish tables/procedures as predefined datasources that can be linked to controls. If we did that, our U2 environments could be used by the dotnet world same as any other database.That puts us on an equal or closer footing with the SQL guys. Then the other features of U2 (flexible dictionaries, variable lengths, etc.) are enhancements to be pitched as selling points. Seems like a couple of vendors started down that road (most notably RD's PDP). Maybe it one day it happens. Mike However my perception is to make PICK more acceptable to younger people and look more mainstream. U2 is hung more for the green screen than for anything else, it is perceived as archaic even though that is far from the fact. If a Blue Chip company was looking at U2, and the basic code was a .Net assembly and we could create tables, etc from the Microsoft Visual Studio it could be the difference between a sale win or loss. It could minimise management wanting to throw U2 out of sites for something more modern as the even older RDBMS. It is the perceptions, not the technicalities that have dropped U2 from mainstream.

For an intranet application for example, your 1st screen would be a login screen where you prompt for user name and password. Your application would have to validate and store it. That name can be retrieved by your UV code.

Another question from a Redback newbie. There's a file WWUSERS that contains a list of redback user names (eg. RBADMIN). I can create new users in this file and assign them a password. Using the RBOScope examples supplied, I can connect using one of these user names password. I've created a new UV subroutine that is called via the POSTWRITE method on one of the objects. What I'd like to do is access the username so I can add it to any audit records I may write. I've noticed that @LOGNAME @ACCOUNT are both blank but @AUTHORIZATION contains redback. Is there a variable (or a getProperty method) that I can use to determine the user who connected?

RE: [U2] [UV/Redback] How can my UV code determine the redback user name?
George, There you are getting into server authentication. Redback will run with Apache. I guess it is dependent on what web technology you are using with it (Java, JSP, CGI) as to how that info can be made available to U2. I focused on the Microsoft technologies (IIS, ASP, ASP.Net) because of a perceived shorter learning curve coming from a Pick background with VB/VB Script versus Java. With IIS, you can set a server for windows authentication where you get the windows user id dialog box. Although I haven't gone that route, I'm sure you can find a way to access it to use in your code. So I would say the answer to your question is yes. Instead, I write my own login/security routines which is tied to the application for things like specific program access, printer defaults, email addresses, etc. In your case, I imagine the htaccess/htpassword files could be used as a validation source in ASP but the piping to read it and get it back to U2 would have to be figured out. If it works now and you can get it via your cgi script, it most likely work the same if you continued to use Apache.

Mike, Right now, I have an .htaccess/.htpassword file combo for apache web server when you hit the site, the webserver gives you a login box. This information is available to a .cgi program from the webserver. Can the ASP server supply the Redback routine this information as well? and/or does the ASP server have that username/password ability?

RE: [U2] [UV] Does the Redback account have to be PICK flavour?
The accounts that you enable for Redback do not have to be Pick flavor. I have customers where the accounts are everything but Pick flavor. When you say 'the' Redback account, that's somewhat confusing. You have the user accounts that you create/enable and there is the rbdefn account that gets created when you install the product. That one is created as Pick flavor.That is not the one you use to Redback enable your data accounts. That account has the Redback internal routines for the product and will not have any effect on what you build. The process is that you Redback enable accounts that you want to make available to your web apps. Those accounts will have pointers to WWPROGS AND WWLIB from the rbdefn account. I tend to create new U2 accounts with VOC pointer for only the files I plan on using with my web apps. You then create modules in that account for your programs, RBOs, etc. Hope this helps, Mike Randall -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Womack, Adrian Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 8:02 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] [UV] Does the Redback account have to be PICK flavour? We've just started experimenting with Redback and according to the documentation the Redback account needs to be Pick flavour. Is this correct? or can another flavour be used? All our user and development accounts are PI/Open flavour. Assuming the redback account has to be Pick then is it safe to call routines that were compiled in the PI/Open account? One problem I can see is if any of the routines EXECUTE statements that won't work in Pick (eg. The COPY FROM ... statement - not that I'd consider calling that particular statement from within a routine called from Redback). Any hints and tips for making Redback work with non-pick flavour accounts/programs would be gratefully received.

Still curious about BCI. Not up on BCI but if you have Redback that means you are using a web interface. That means you can easily access Oracle and U2 at the same time.

RE: [U2] Adding D-Descriptors
The records can have varying numbers of fields. From your comment about flaky data, my guess would be that you are using fields that are being written to someplace else other than what you added. Dictionaries have no impact on what Basic programs do. Fields may be written to a particular file and there doesn't have to be any dictionary present or the dict says the fields hold something totally different. The dictionary is only used for reporting and selection functions. As such, looking at the dictionary is not a reliable or even valid way of determining field usage.
