RE: Uniobjects Asp
Nick, Depends on how you far you need to scale, and if you are looking to support large numbers of users. UniObjects is NOT thread safe, but you can roll your own connection pooling - ie. write your logic into a DLL that maintains a series of connections with some form of semaphoring, and call that from your ASP pages rather than calling UniObjects directly. There's something to be said for keeping your logic in a DLL anyway as ASP coding tends to fragment quite highly, and complex pages can be more of a pain to maintain than a complex DLL! Otherwise, your best bet is to use RedBack, which is designed explicitly to support the ASP model, and provides connection pooling and thread safety with a pretty decent level of performance and high scalability. We have put together a number of applications running across RedBack supporting large numbers of users for a local government, including call centres, billing and other fairly intensive applications and performance has not been an issue.

Re: Universe File Corruption
Once upon a time, I repaired uniVerse files fairly often. I was taught by Mark Baldridge and later took a refresher course from Joel Yates. Fixing the file at v9.4.n.n (pre fixtool days) will require manual file work at the OS level using filepeek. Since filepeek doesn't prompt for errors, writing the wrong data can destroy the file. Incidently, if everyone is off the system and there are no processes running against the INVOICE file, uvfixfile may very well work just fine. It fails if there is any activity against the file. In later releases, uvfixfile wouldn't even run if there was file activity, similar to RESIZE. As for you question about not losing data, sometimes you don't lose data if the link is from a duplicate 'forward link' to 2 different groups. Fixing the Blink error will allow the hashing algorhythm for the correct group to be seen. There is a very real chance that you will lose the one record where the Blink error is and possibly the records that come after the error in the affected group. If the corrupt file is a type 30 file (dynamic on UV), then the repair is more difficult, but still relatively easy for someone with experience.

RE: UniVerse to excel feeds
Well, here is one way, given you are running Unix and want to use windows... If you just want to load data into Excel and you only want to do this on one windows machine. There is a lpd/lpr daemon program I use (www.brooksnet.com) called RPM which when setup on a windows machine, looks like a remote printer to unix. It has the ability to take a print job, and force-feed it into an application. You can set it up so it will stick put an .csv extension on the temp file (print job) it receives and will then launch Excel, which will in turn read the data and display it. On the unix side, you just create a ASCII csv file and print it to the remote printer. As discussed earlier, if you use XML, then you can get excel (newer versions) to do a bit of formatting as well, just change the lpd/lpr program to add an .xml extension. This is fairly low cost solution (I think a single license is about $100-150.00) If you want this on mulitple machines, a different method might be to write a small PERL program that runs as a service on windows, that when it receives a file via sockets, it then launches excel with that file. Have a Unix side first determine IP of requesting machine (another discussion :)) and open a socket to that IP and send the data to the PERL program.

Re: Printing to local printer
In a message dated 2/26/2004 12:07:35 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: We use AUX ON / AUX OFF for local printers already. The problem is, we want to be able to specify which local printer to use as the AUX. So, when the user is printing a CC receipt, it would print to the printer attached to the PC that is defined as the CC receipt printer. But, when the user is trying to print a report, it would print to the local laser printer (which could also be a networked printer). One way to do this is to have the user switch the local printer within SmartTerm, but we wanted to try to handle this in the software, if possible, because...well, you know how users are. Dana I'm a little confused. You are using local printers using Aux on/Aux off. This means that the printer must be directly connected to the terminal/PC right? So I thought it sounded like you wanted to have two printers directly attached to one terminal/PC. If this is *not* what you want to do, then why not just network all your printers? If it *is* what you want, you also have the option of using two serial ports off your terminal/PC. Some terminals have two serial and one parallel port as well. And for PCs you can always add another serial or parallel card to add another port. So can you tell us how many CC printers you have, and can each device that needs to print to one have its own? Or do you have something like 100 terminals wanted to print and only 12 CC printers? Thanks Will Johnson -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

RE: UniVerse to excel feeds
Don: I have written a program called BEXCEL which takes in a command, formats a csv file, and then uses an ftp process (we have pi/open on hpux) to send this file to a place where the users can open it. For example, the command BEXCEL INMATE | LNAME FNAME MNAME DOB AKA.LN AKA.FN | IRPT1 | ALL | Y reads the INMATE file then outputs a file named myloginIRPT1.csv with columns LNAME, FNAME, MNAME, DOB, AKA.LN, and AKA.FN to the designated network site via an ftp transfer. The AKA fields are multivalued and are handled. All records were selected, but in the place of 'ALL' one could have put the name of a select list. The final parameter Y means to put a space between records in the csv file. I have the companion programs HEXCEL, which outputs a .htm file for your browser and has additional parameters to specify headlines, and TEXCEL which is the interactive version where users enter file name, fields desired, etc for Ad Hoc reporting. I have embedded calls to BEXCEL in a few programs (send report to Excel) and it works fine. There is a little 'local' coding in each of these, but I will be happy to take that code out. You do need to set up a couple of VOC entries (easy) and also set up the ftp process to get the file automatically sent to the desired network directory (I needed my network guys to do this for me).

For an example of what's possible, see these links: http://Nebula-RnD.com/products/analysis.htm http://Nebula-RnD.com/demos/nebulanalysis/ (audio/video presentation) Unattended, all Pick BASIC, no CSV files or XML or other file I/O or translations, full formatting with charts and all other features of Excel. Internally I've written a COM-AddIn for Excel that listens for socket calls and processes the requests - that's a fast and direct pipe, no intermediate formatting. Another benefit of this is that many users in an office can share a single copy of Excel on a given host, or the MV server can use the Excel that's on the MV client PC. NebulAnalysis is not being offered over U2 at this time as a product but I am willing to implement the features as a service. It's been a long time since I've done anything with this, honestly because most people are quite happy with the traditional mess of writing a CSV, doing some manual import, then manually reformatting after they've done the import. In a world where people want everything automated I really don't understand this intense desire to do everything manually with Excel. Inquiries welcome.

When is developing with UniObjects the correct approach?
Can someone lay out, in relatively simple terms for a simple guy, when using UniObjects is the correct approach to developing an application using one of the U2 databases? And, perhaps, when UniObjects would seem attractive but is not, in reality, a good choice? And, yes, I am sure that reality has lots of 'it depends ...'. Thanks, Karjala -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: When is developing with UniObjects the correct approach?
From my experience, I really haven't encountered a situation where I'd recomment not using UniObjects when accessing a U2 database from an outside application. I've heard people say you shouldn't use it directly from ASP because of threading issues, but I've successfully gotten around that by insulating the UniObjects objects within my own COM objects. ASP calls my COM object, my COM objects creates a UniObjects object, does what it needs, closes and releases the object, life is good. I've never even actually tried instantiating the UniObjects directly from ASP to know for sure it's a problem...just went with what others had told me. For straight data access where ODBC is fine, UniData's ODBC works fine. It's just a bit of a PITA to set up initially. I think the biggest benefit of using UniObjects is the ability to utilize existing subroutines in your U2 system. Even going forward, I find it easier to do a lot of my business rules in U2 subs and call those subs from UniObjects. Makes for a pretty elegant n-tiered development environment. Anyway, that's my $.02 -Original Message- From: Karjala Koponen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 1:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: When is developing with UniObjects the correct approach?

RE: UniVerse to excel feeds
Don: If you have wIntegrate, terminal emulation and host-based application, you can accomplish your task. I did, but it was about five years ago.

[UV] XML conversion in UV 10.1
We're planning a platform migration to UV 10.1 and hope to utilize the built-in XML functionality to exchange data with our trading partners. From what I read on the IBM U2 site it appears that XML can be created from standard UV files in 10.1. Are there also tools that enbable data to go the other direction - from XML to a standard UV file? Sorry if I'm not being specific enough, but I'm a newbie to XML. Also, since UV 10.1 has not been ported to our chosen platform yet, can anyone recommend an XML to CSV parsing tool? I'm looking for something that can be run in batch mode, preferably on a unix server. Thanks, John -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: [UV] XML conversion in UV 10.1
Not sure about Unix tools but Excel 2003 is fully XML aware. Going from XML to CSV is as simple as Save As. If you are into .Net, Microsoft has introduced a very power API called Visual Studio Tools for Office that will allow full programmatic control over Excel (Word too) from within VB.Net. Smooth and easy automation. Through Redback into the mix and Excel/Word take on new life from .Net in regards to using them with U2 data.

UDCS sessions
Hi all - We are a Unidata site just bringing up WebAdvisor. I have seen udcs sessions hang out in the listuser listing for hours. We have our unirpcservices set to: udcs /usr/ud60/bin/udapi_server * TCP/IP 0 3600 Why do they hang out? How do I tell if someone is connected to the session before I stop it?

RE: UniVerse to excel feeds
I have a subroutine that works with both Accuterm and Wintegrate. It's fairly easy to integrate into an existing report. You can put column headings, set column widths, add formulas, multiple sheets, multiple books. It does quite a bit. I'd be glad to share it with the group if somebody would tell me where to put it. I should also put an example of a program that calls it. Let me know.
