OT RE: We need a web based Forum!
I would whole-heartedly agree with this. BUT I have never seen such an animal in action myself. I think it's mythical. Will It is not mythical, one of the forums I use works exactly like that. You do have to be set up as a user and subscribe to the forums you want to read. But after that, emails show up on the forum, and anything posted to the forum goes out via email. (It even puts a cute little postmark on the message if you view it on the web page, to show it was posted via email.) A quick look says that the forum software is...

MVInternet (was: Re: Uniobjects / php)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's my expertise: 1) Pick BASIC 2) I can write HTML and I wrote a few javascripts! 3) I setup Apache as a web server Then Pixius' product is *perfect* for you, that's all you need. Using exactly that, we had both a reporting front-end (read-only) and one that was read-write for users to enter records into a handful of files. If we knew then what we know now, we might still be using it, but we didn't design it very well and it became difficult to maintain. That was *our* fault, and perhaps an inherent issue with procedural programming where all variables are global-- the usual gripes about UniBasic coming from an object-oriented programmer. But the problem has always been the equivalent of what mvInternet does. That is, connect Apache to Universe. So you have another idea of how to connect Apache (or really any other page server) to Universe? I don't understand what open port 80 means or whether this actually allows Apache to talk directly to Universe or whatever. What do you not like about MVInternet? I didn't do the original setup, but you need to configure Apache so that it does CGI, probably by installing a module (?). Then you place mvi.exe in the cgi-bin directory, it has a config file to tell it what to connect to, and it basically logs in with a telnet session and runs UniBasic programs at the colon prompt. The output of those (whatever you CRT to the screen, which is now HTML instead of columns of data) gets captured, you tell it to swap [TOKEN.NAMES] with the values that you set up in two dynamic arrays, and it sends the resulting HTML out to the browser. I think there's a trial version, grab it and ask if you have any questions. Port 80 is the default HTTP (web) port. It's what you connect to when you type http://www.example.com. Sometimes you will see a URL like http://www.example.com:8081 where the number after the colon is a different port number. If you have a URL starting with https:// it is going to port 443, the default SSL port. Apparently you can use CallHTTP to answer requests directly from UniVerse. I would not expose a port on my production database server to the internet, however! -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: Uniobjects / php
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Katz Does anyone know if they have uniobjects for php? Not that I'm aware of, but if you're brave you can convince UniObjects for Java and PHP to work together. Look on http://www.pickwiki.com for more information, at least two of us here have done it. In my case, they decided to go with InterCall instead, they had more C experience than Java. I don't know if anyone is using it in production-- the PHP-Java extension was still marked experimental last time I looked, and I was not able to get any help from the developer. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: UV to Text Conversion Standard?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brian, not every implementation supports TOXML keyword Will But they all support Cedarville DOWNLOAD, which works better than the TOXML keyword anyway. It will catch up, I'm sure, but for now, DOWNLOAD is more flexible. AFAIK neither of them lets you create XML in memory, I always had to write a file. I _was_ doing a nightly export to a third party, calling a web service with CallHTTP and POSTing a bunch of XML to them. Fun! Too bad the powers that be decided to discontinue using that vendor. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: UOJ - UniSession Timeout
On Behalf Of Daly, Mark I've tried using the UniSession setTimeout() method. But it doesn't seem to have any effect. Dave Meeks posted in April'02 suggesting setTimeout(), so I assume it was working then. No telling whether IBM broke it after that, though! Have you tested it outside your webapp? Check, and possibly increase, the timeout in the /usr/unishared/unirpc/unirpcservices file. http://www.indexinfocus.com/dl/u2list/200204/29998.html http://www.indexinfocus.com/dl/u2list/200110/21548.html What about trying the latest and greatest UOJ code, I don't *think* there were enough changes to cause the newest version to not work against an old version of U2. It comes with the Personal Edition if you don't have a newer version of U2 around. I discarded connection pooling very early on in favor of a simple Factory class. It's just not that hard to create a new session compared with all the trouble of keeping them alive and hanging around. So I'd take a hard look at whether connection pooling really is worth it for your app. (See http://www.pickwiki.com for UniSessionFactory.) -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Server vs. Enterprise edition pricing
I need some help with pricing. Ballpark in the 100-or-so user range, I'm trying to figure out if it makes more sense to buy Enterprise licenses so we get device licensing, or to just buy more licenses for the Server edition. Does anyone know how much Enterprise pricing varies from the Server edition? I know, I know... it depends. But in the most general manner in which you're willing to divulge information, it would REALLY help out here. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: UniObjects
Kevin wrote: Does anyone have knowledge of how to handle secure communications from UniObjects into Universe? (SSL, SSH, etc.) We are covered from end user to UniObjects, but not from UniObjects to Universe. I haven't been able to find any supporting documentation.. We have firewalls in place which encrypt the traffic between the web server (which uses UniObjects for Java) and the database server. If you're going to do it that way, buy two for each end and configure them to fail over, we've been down WAY more times because one of the firewall appliances was misbehaving than due to a real problem with either of the servers. I assume the original post was about UniObjects-for-VB, but the UOJ manual does discuss using SSL.

RE: File permissions problem with UniObjects for Java
John Hester wrote: The default umask may be someplace like /etc/profile or /etc/default/login depending on your platform. Permissions on files created by OUJ logins on our system appear to be determined by the .profile of the UOJ login though. Don't know why yours would be different. The UOJ login does not have a home directory or a shell. You can't actually log in with that user id and get to a unix prompt. So no .profile for that user. I still don't get how umask could do this-- it only subtracts from the existing permissions, right? In this case I'm gaining world readable permission. (And I have only a vague grasp of how this all works, anyway.) I'll go ask on the HPUX newsgroup and see if I can find out where a default would be coming from.

RE: File permissions problem with UniObjects for Java
Charlie Rubeor wrote: Off the top of my head, the default permissions and umask are 666 and 022, respectively. Subtracting the two gives you 644 or -rw-r--r--, which is what the UOJ code gave you. When you telnet, the .profile usually sets the umask to 002. Subtracting 002 from 666 gives you -rw-rw-r--, which is what you got when you logged in. So, without knowing the UOJ code, can you add umask 002 or umask ug=rw,o=r This isn't something that you'd set in Java code. It's something that's happening when UniObjects for Java connects to UniData and gets what is basically a colon-prompt session. There's an environment, but it's not the same as you get when you telnet in and your .profile executes. Does anyone know how UOJ logs in to the system? I know it connects to the unirpc daemon on 31438, but I don't know how that differs from a normal user login. I'm still not sure where the weird permissions are coming from, but I think that's going to be OS specific. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

QSELECT CLIENT.XREF 12345 :@FM: SSELECT AR.TR BY MATTER WITH INVOICE = 12345 Is there some problem with executing two UniCommands in succession?

wIntegrate editor crashing
A long time ago, I had a weird problem with the wIntegrate editor. It crashes if you press shift-home and then delete. I talked with the people who wrote the editor, and actually got a new version with that keystroke disabled, so that I could at least stop crashing and losing work. The fix was to have been put into a later version. Since then I got a new PC, and lost my updated version of the wIntegrate editor. The image that our PC guys use to build machines has version 4.2.1 of the editor. I looked for a client software CD for UniData 6.0, but I don't see anything. I can only find the UniData CD and one with documentation. So... What's the latest wIntegrate editor version, or at least the one that would have come with UD6? Should I have it here somewhere? Is it possibly included with the personal edition? Does anyone know who I might have been talking to, in the event this fix didn't get into the latest version? (Calling our VAR is not likely to be helpful. They have disabled the editor in their wIntegrate distribution, and as far as they're concerned, it doesn't exist. We have to reconfigure wIntegrate to be able to use it.) -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
