Thanks David..... My hope is that we will be able to drop ObjectCall totally soon!!!! The application which we needed to get working is DataStage; unfortunately the work involved in converting all the DS jobs to use the UniData 6 stage is considerable but the good news is that our experience over the last week gives more weight to my argument that more resources should be invested in this project.
Of course, my advice to anyone trying to interface to U2 from the outside world) is to either use the OLEDB or UniObjects interface than to suffer the pain of ObjectCall!!!!

Hi Martin It is a while since I use dobjectcall, but as far as I remember UniObjects has all the functionality and more that objectcall and is a lot simpilar. You should be able to convert the application to UniObjects reasonably quickly, unless it is done by some third party, possibly quicker than trying to get ObjectCall to work. They are reasonably close in concept that you should be able to replace the ObjectCall functions with UniObjects equivalent Regards David Jordan Managin Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dacono Holdings Pty Ltd Business & Technology Consulting PO Box 909 Lane Cove NSW 2066 Australia Ph 61 2 9418 8329 Fax 61 2 9427 2371 www.dacono.com.au -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Canty Sent: Friday, 9 April 2004 1:00 PM To: U2 Users Discussion List Subject: RE: Objectcall headache... On behalf of Dave, let me expand..... We have a DataStage job which is still relying on ObjectCall (until we can rewrite it to utilise the new UniData6 stage), unfortunately, after the UniData upgrade ObjectCall ceased to function & no matter what we do we just cannot get it to work again!!!!

Try as I may, I can > no longer get an Objectcall connection to that server. Well, IBM end-of-lifed ObjectCall a while ago, but I still think they ship it. IBM also end-of-lifed AIX 4.3 mid last year IIRC. Having just checked the availability matrix at https://www-927.ibm.com/software/data/u2/support/u2techconnect/matrix.as p, I see that 6.0.3 and 6.0.8 ARE both certified for AIX 4.3.3, but 4.3.1 definitely isn't mentioned. Moving beyond this bunch of uncertainty I have about the supportability of your client's platform set, it might be worth asking what they upgraded from and what you are trying to connect with. ObjectCall is a highly version dependent beast. If they upgraded from an early UniData version like 3.3.2 or 4.0 and went straight to 6.0, then whatever ObjectCall client piece you used to be able to connect with would now be incompatible. Anyway, how to resolve this? First push the server and client logging levels up high (level 9?), then start off on the AIX box with objping and see if you can get a connection on the same box. Once you have that working, see if you can connect an external client.
