Hi Steven,

What version of UniData are you running on the test box?

My current experience is that on UniData 6.0 ObjectCall does work,
however on UniData 6.1 hp/ux it ObjectCall is fatally broken! (if anyone
has a workaround to get ObjectCall working on hp.ux/udt 6.1 I'd be
interested.)

In answer to Ken's failing memory, the unix admin program is
uniapi_admin; on Windows (6.0 and above) we have resorted to registry
hacks to administr ObjectCall.

My advice to to rewrite your application as IBM are no longer supporting
ObjectCall... I have been trying to get rid of ObjectCall for sume time;
unfortunately it just quite refuses to die!!! (we use it as part of our
DataStage solution). One good thing though, our experiences with 6.1
will finally deal the fatal blow to our use of ObjectCall...

N.B. If anyone does give me a solution to our UniData 6.1 ObjectCall
problem then I promise not to tell our developers!

ObjectCall doesn't go through unirpcd and has nothing to do with the
unirpcservices file as far as I know.  You'll find entries in
/etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf on your live UniData box I think which
relate to UNIAPI or something similar.  You need to set up similar
entries on your test box.
The key component is uniapisvr IIRC.  I think there is a server admin
program for it too, but it has been such a long time since I played with
ObjectCall and I don't have access to a box where it is running at the
moment.

Cheers,

Ken

PS.  Well played New Zealand.  Not many people expected the Black Caps
to be competitive.  For what was billed as the fastest deck in NZ,
Christchurch has provided a pretty flat track.  Do you think it will
break up on the 4th and 5th days or is it just dead?
