Hello usergroup,

Just submitted this to IBM support, but I thought I'd see if anyone on
here had seen this.

One of our customer sites has just had the UVODBC client driver
installed and noticed that when this is installed software from another
supplier stops working.

The removal of the UVODBC driver means the other software works
perfectly fine again, without reinstalling it.

I have contacted the supplier of the software conflicting with the
UVODBC and they have stated that they use the Seagate Crystal Report
Writer Version 7 (32 bit) ocx within their class application that's
having the problem.

They have sent me a list of all the system files installed with their
application, which I have listed below, in case there are any conflicts
between the UVODBC driver and their system files.

ASYCFILT.DLL
CO2C40EN.DLL
COMCAT.DLL
COMCTL32.OCX

VB6.OLB
Vb6ext.olb
VBAJET32.DLL
vbar332.dll
VSFLEX7D.oca
Vsflex7d.ocx

Looking at some of the files above, it would seem that their software is
written in VB6, but other than that there's nothing obvious to me. (the
U2 dll's look suspicious, but not sure)

If anyone's able to advise on this I would be grateful.

We have installed the UVODBC on many sites and this is the first time we
have had a problem of this nature.

The Universe version is 10.1.3 and the client driver is the version
that's supplied with 10.1.3

Their server is a Windows server.

Re: [U2] UV to Access via ODBC - driver issue

2004-11-08 Thread John Koch-Northrup
Thanks for your response.This would be a great idea if the Access
database wasn't a realtime system.It's counting parts used on reels
from our machines on the shop floor and is constantly updated from
multiple sources.   

Unless I'm not fully understanding what you're suggesting...

John

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/7/2004 8:44:55 PM 
John,
You might want to patch it by exporting the Access data to a flat file

and push that into a UniVerse Type 19 where you can parse it. There are

third party tools [AD] including mine www.MtOlympus.us [/AD] that can 
help you with the data conversion and parsing. If you need an alternate

ODBC driver, you may want to look at Fusionware. I don't recall if they

have something MS Access specific, but I suspect they do.

I've been struggling through this one the last few days - any help
would be GREATLY appreciated.

Platform:   Dataflo 5.8.4 on Universe 10.0.10 on Win2000 sp 3 
(though
I don't think Dataflo is an issue here...)

Previously working state:  

Dataflo screen via the Universe BCI module calls ODBC on the server -
in Data Sources (ODBC) System DSN tab I have a pointer to a Microsoft
Access 2000 file.Screen sends an id to the Access database - a
total
number of parts on a reel is returned from the Access database and
placed into the screen.   It's been working nicely for about 6
months.

How it was broken:   

The system that stores data in the Access file was upgraded on
Thursday.   The Access file is now (I believe) at XP level.   The
ODBC
connection is broken.

Attempted fix (that failed):

Research on Microsoft's site led me to believe that upgrading to Jet
4.0 sp 8 and MDAC 2.8 would fix the problem.   I found an article
(which
I oddly can't find now...) that stated that Access beyond version
2000
no longer had a specific ODBC driver to connect to it - you now
connected through the Oracle driver.   Admittedly - I thought that
was
an odd statement and I'm trying to get back to that article and read
it
through again. 

At the moment - I have the server sitting with Jet 4.0 sp 8 and MDAC
2.8 - and cannot connect to the Access file correctly.   Anyone run
into
something similar?  

Thanks!

RE: [U2] PICK Assembler Language

2004-11-08 Thread Chuck Mongiovi
I'm not familiar with MvBase, but I meant when PICK was the ONLY O/S on the
box, and the kernel was a PICK kernel .. I grew up on Ultimate
(Tech-Support, actually), so you can understand my model ..

I'll make an exception for something like the old IBM VM implementation of
Ultimate, where Ult ran NATIVE under it's own virtal machine ..

Does MvBase run as the ONLY O/S, or does it run in an emulator environment,
kind-of like Virtual-PC or WINE ..

Actually, I guess what I really mean is CAN MvBase run as the ONLY O/S,
whether or not it's running in a virtual environment ..

Back when PICK ran native instead of under Unix (or whatever) ..

Pick STILL runs native in the MvBase implementation.  If you call it that.
It uses the same concepts of workspace, modes, and ABS frames and I'm sure
it's the same assembler, read pseudo-assembler.  Doesn't actually compile
to machine language you know.

 Ok, so I'm a geek.  What can I say?  :)

And for all of the rest of the geeks out there, try this links out:

http://www.256b.com/

There was another link out there about making the smalles possible LINUX
executable - comparing the size of one generated with a C-compiler vs an
NASM compiler vs building it by hand to be the smallest, but I can't find it
..

 230 simultaneous serial users plus 22 serial printers on a 75Mhz 486.

 Funny how earlier the effort was borne on the programmer to be as
efficient
 as he could to make up for the deficiencies of the platform. Now-a-days,
the
 processors are so infinitely fast that they clearly cover up less
efficient
 programming.

 Therefore, it's easy to forget how far we've come.

You know, I was about to cheer your efficiency argument - since I *still*
try to be as efficient as possible regardless of the platform that I'm on,
but then you went and shot yourself in the foot ;)

The server I'm working on is IMHO *very* fast, but we run on SB+, which
makes it extremely easy to do tons of extra reads than are actually
necessary .. I've also got a few programmers who don't quite understand the
downside and performance implications of large DYNAMIC arrays ..

RE: [U2] UV 10.1.2 ?

We upgraded to UV 10.1.2 while on AIX 4.3.3 and a week later upgraded to AIX 
5.1 - we did not experience any problems with the AIX 4.3.3/UV 10.1.2 
combination, though that's an admittedly short time.

 Karl,

 We in the same boat, and looking to upgrade between Christmas and New
 Year.


 We are doing the Universe upgrade first, shaking that out for a while,
 then
 will upgrade AIX to 5.3.

 Lesson 1 from school or hard knocks Never do multiple upgrades at the
 same time unless you have to.

Having worked for vars and having done literally hundreds of upgrades of
both OS and DBMS, I agree whole heartedly. Let there be at least 2 weeks,
after all the bugs are worked out, before doing the second upgrade. There
is one major problem with this when one works for an organization that
doesn't do regular upgrades: Sometimes one can't be upgraded without doing
the other at the same time because of compatibility issues.

Memo: Re: [U2] PICK Assembler Language

2004-11-08 Thread asvin . dattani
Hi Sean,

Before there was this new fangled Universe and Unidata, PICK was a platform
independent os/database. It used to run on a variety of platforms from big
IBM mainframes all the way down to small minicomputers, and then when PC's
were invented (8086 based!!) even on them.

This was all achieved by having a PICK Virtual Machine, which was ported to
each of these platforms. This VM had a very strange structure, with a
number of registers and it's own set of instructions. The language used to
program this VM at a low level was called the PICK assembler. I believe
this is the language being referred to...


hth,

[U2] UniVerse 10.1.2 bug/error

2004-11-08 Thread karlp
I upgraded to uniVerse 10.1.2 over the weekend (AIX 4.3.3) and now if I do

analyze.shm -x

the login count shows 1, or at other times different numbers. There are
currently 27 users logged in this system.

Anyone heard of this? Is there a fix? We have a routine that uses this
output to verify license usage.

If I run uvlictool report_lic -a, I get this:

Server Edition mode of licensing is in effect.
No. Pid, Package  Device name IP address  Device sub-key 1

2 license seats being used by this device.
12  39132

33 license seats are available.


Clearly something's broken as we have 42 licenses:
UV: config

Configuration data for license number :

stuff deleted

Any ideas?

I haven't heard of that specific issue, but the following bug fix in the 
10.1.4 release notes sounds like it could be related:

6861The uvlictool clean_lic -a command clears licenses in shared

was an issue with SBClient as the licensing DLL started with U2 and
conflicted with Crystal as it assumed that all programs that start with

[U2] Printing an RTF file from Universe

2004-11-08 Thread Brian Parker
We are trying to use a Word document as a template. As such, we 
create the document with tags (eg. XXCUSTNAMEXX ) and then 
save the document as an RTF. In Universe, we read in this RTF file, 
change the tags to the data and write this new file out as an RTF. This 
new file can be opened with Word and printed, however, we would like 
to be able to print it automatically from within a Universe program. Is 
there a way to this? When we use PRINTER ON and PRINT, the RTF 
info(eg. {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1) is printed out. 

I receive the daily digest, so I may not answer any follow up questions 
right away.
