[U2] Universe Server vs Enterprise Editions
I was thinking about moving from UV Server to UV Enterprise in order to take advantage of device licensing. Has anyone ever done this? We have roughly 100 concurrent users at any given time, but they generally have more than 2 sessions opened (definitely needed here). Since UV Server doesn't take advantage of device licensing, my license bills are going through the roof!

RE: [U2] PCL extra page
Depends on how you are formatting it. If you are formatting it by sending a prefix string of characters from one file, then sending your job, that would cause any ESC E to shoot out a new page. Also, by any chance does your job have any print @(-1) that are sent to the printer. If your terminal type uses char(12) to clear the screen, which is also a FF on most printers. How are you formatting the job?

In Universe, it isn't necessary to DIM a matrix that has been passed in a subroutine. Just to clarify what I meant here. The DIM or COM is still done but it is done in the calling program.

RE: [U2] PCL extra page
Steve: This is almost always limited to HP printers. What normally happens is that a print job always begins with a form feed. When PCL preceeds this print job you get a string that looks like: Pcl commands : FF : Print job Then, when this string is sent to the printer, HP interprets Pcl commands as text, so doesn't suppress the leading form feed...other printers often do. In D3, I was able to start a printer and suppress the leading form feed. However, D3 interpreted Pcl commands as text so when the Print job was sent it got preceeded by a FF anyway. The only way I was able to resolve this was to remove all form feeds from the print job (you can turn this off in D3), use footings in all reports (we already did anyway), and append a FF to the end of the footing (our footing text resides in a file). I don't yet know what solution exists for U2 but I'll soon find out. :-( Bill -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sirulnick, Steve Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 4:47 AM To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' Subject: [U2] PCL extra page Does anyone know why I could be getting an extra page that spits out at the beginning of a print job?

RE: [U2] PCL extra page

So all printers have the appropriate Windows drivers installed. I've not seen where a print stream sent from an MV application gets altered by these Windows print drivers. What I was talking about was the reaction of the printer to this MV generated print stream. I've sent the same stream of text (a simple A/R customer report wrapped in PCL) to both HP, Canon, and Kyocera printers (all printers were PCL5 compatible).

[U2][UV] UCI and Windows DNS {unclassified}
Hi all. We are running UV 10.0.15 on a Windows 2K3 server, which is part of a Native 2003 domain. We also have a large number of web applications, located on several separate servers, that attach to the DB via UniObjects and several critical ODBC connections. I'm revising our Disaster Recovery plan and in the event of a production server failure, I would like to redirect all the UniObject and ODBC calls to our DR server by changing the DNS entry for the production server name to point to the DR server IP address. The ODBC entries have been setup using server names so I would assume that an ODBC connection (and other UCI type calls) would resolve that name by way of DNS, just like everything else. But I have been asked to confirm this as there is no such thing as too much paranoia when it come to DR planning. Can anyone help confirm that this plan is good? And any pointers to where this may be documented would also be much appreciated.

RE: [U2] PCL extra page
In our case... The users rightfully complained about those blank pages at the beginning of print jobs, so years ago we put a wrapper around all of our printing. Essentially, everything goes to a hold file first. The leading form feed is stripped from the beginning of the job if present. The file is then: * output to the printer * or processed via PCL2PDF (from visual software) * and/or optionally emailed to the user It (the wrapper) not only solves the leading blank page eject problem but it provides an easy way to implement a variety of other tasks with the output. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Dave, I hit this with a Linux server last year and I'm hoping it's the same problem.

My problem was that the base system LANG setting was not C, but all my logins used a .profile script to set it to 'C' so ECL worked fine.

It seems that when printing to a PCL file, the top of form and page end are set for us and embedded in the PCL output file. We've seen the ESC:'E' character at both the top and bottom of the PCL file, but removing them doesn't help. Any ideas?

Re: [U2] PCL extra page
Dear Steve, I have seen a number of really good ideas posted to the list to help you with this issue. Here is another option I haven't seen mentioned yet. HP PCL includes a command called eject page, which will cause a form feed to occur if printable data is currently stored in the printer's buffer. It causes nothing to happen when there is no printable data currently stored in the printer's buffer. What is sometimes possible in database printing applications is to create a new form feed character, to be used by the system when printing certain reports (i.e. those that get directed to HP PCL compliant laser printers), and to then define that the new form feed character is equal to the 5 byte PCL sequence ESCl0H (1B 26 6C 30 48 in ASCII hex).

This only happens when I format the print job with PCL first. It's almost like a banner page with nothing on it.

Re: [U2] Universe Server vs Enterprise Editions
Steve, We did this for the same reasons. We did have some issues and needed to open a TAC through our ERP vendor to UniData. With their advise we moved to SB+ 5.3.8 to make it work. Device licensing is working for us. We are on UniData / AIX.

We have roughly 100 concurrent users at any given time, but they generally have more than 2 sessions opened (definitely needed here). Since UV Server doesn't take advantage of device licensing, my license bills are going through the roof! --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
