Re: [U2] JDBC and OpenOffice on Linux
Hi, thanks for that encouragement - Better&Better will probably be the place to pursue the IBM angle. However Openoffice.org have also proven that they are willing and able to modify OOo specifically for U2 if there are enough requests from users for similar features/fixes - they have already done so in the past. So, the request is still for the U2 community to take 10 minutes each (in total that adds up to a lot of hours) and vote on the Openoffice.org issue. There are many opportunities to take advantage of OOo, not just as an office suite but as an integrated part of U2 applications, especially if you are looking for similar MSOffice functionality/API on Linux/UNIX. Thanks to those who have already voted. Apart from my own vote 5 other U2 users have used 2 of their votes on this issue.

David, We have one customer who has been running UniVerse 10.1.0 with an SQL MDE database. They are using ODBC to move data from UV to the MDE database. Granted this is not a full blown version of SQL it has been running fairly smoothly for quite some time. We have been experiencing some issues (performance) recently, but things are starting to point away from either database and more toward data issues. HTH, Mike Dallaire Mortgage Builder Software Inc.

[U2] Associated MVs
Is it possible to assocate the same dictionary item (field definition) to more than one association phrase? I'm doing some conversion work and there are several associations that include some of the same dictionaries. For example, the following association phrases were created: Dict Name... Type # Col-Heading Field-Definition AS_10PH IMPDATE IMPVERSION AS_4 PH ADATE ACTIONS BYS AS_4APH ADATE OACTIONS BYS In a Pick style dictionary this is no problem with the "[D]ependent and [C]ontrolling association codes. But I can't figure out how to do it here without creating two new synonym dictionaries for both 'ADATE' and 'BYS'.

Re: [U2] UV: uv.rc script curiosity
The "su" may have been to set Login-uid as required by some versions of the "C2" security level. This was an issue in some "C2" environments, for processes started by the "init" process without any Login-uid. In which case the $UVHOME/bin programs that do setuid would have needed to be invoked via "su" (which itself does setuid, of course, but "su" had a special exemption.) --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

They run as uid 0, which isn't the same thing. I'm guessing the 'su' forces /etc/profile and ~/.profile to run, which will alter the command's environment and change the way the command runs. That's why, in rc.d and cron scripts, you are *always* advised to spell everything out *explicitly* - you can't trust the environment to be what you expect.

[U2] JDBC and OpenOffice on Linux
Hello to all U2 I am still persevering with getting OpenOffice to work with UniVerse and have had some success with the JDBC driver on MS Windows platform connecting to UniVerse - this with tremendous support from Frank Schonheit of Sun and OpenOffice.org. So now one can connect to, with a little difficulty, and query, with a few issues still to be resolved, a UniVerse database from within OpenOffice. Hopefully IBM, will some day take a serious look at this project and contribute something to making UniVerse cooperate with OpenOffice.org using ODBC/JDBC. The problem now encountered is that connecting from OpenOffice.org using JDBC running on a Linux platform presents the same problem as experienced previously on MS Windows - now fixed - (whereas it did work before at some point in the Beta releases) i.e the JDBC driver loads successfully, and a connection to the database is established; but no tables are "visible" and a native SQL query results in a "ResultSet Type 1,005 is not supported" - a message that one used to encounter on MS Windows platforms before the problem was "fixed" An issue has been reported on the OpenOffice.org Bugzilla system. But to try and give some impetus to resolving this issue I am "soliciting" the support of this forum to vote on this issue on the OpenOffice.org site as well as to prevail on IBM to cooperate with OpenOffice.org to resolve the issues with JDBC/ODBC and OpenOffice. If you feel you can assist then please register as a user on www.openoffice.org and vote on issue 58313 - it'll only take about 5 minutes to do so. However, there are still a number of issues to be resolved, including being able to update tables via JDBC ie. although one can create UniVerse tables from within OOo you cannot insert, update or delete; there is a date format problem - see issue 49043, table names have to be "aliased" in the VOC etc. etc. Here's looking forward to your support Thanks and regards Ian Stuart ___ DISCLAIMER ___ This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
