Re: [U2] Command logging in Universe 10.2.1
You can rename the COMO entry to something else like hiddencomocommand then when they start the command line (e..g either in the login paragraph or the process that escaped them out of your menu) do hiddencomocommand ON. COMO OFF will then not do anything. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of bpar...@nemianlife.lu Sent: 23 October 2009 09:52 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Command logging in Universe 10.2.1 Hi all, We are using Universe 10.2.1 to run a Life Insurance application and we use the UV command line to carry out various database administration tasks.

Re: [U2] Unidata 7.1 XDOM Support
I have had some success with using XML SOAP with custom namespaces.. I never had any problems extracting the XML data however, my issues were all centred around needing to send SOAP requests with a specific xmlns attribute in the elements, and there was no way of specifying the xmlns values to use in the message without parsing the message as a string and using string manipulation methods immediately prior to send.. Here's a snippet from my program that processes received SOAP messages. FYI we have a number of the types and other common values held as equates in an include to reduce finger trouble, and the xmlns is one of those includes, but I copied the include into the code so you can see what xmlns we are using: * Open Message, and get main element from soap:Body, and determine type RESPONSE.TYPE = TEMP.STATUS = XDOMOpen(IN.DATA,XML.FROM.STRING,ROOT.DOM) TEMP.STATUS = XDOMLocate(ROOT.DOM,/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/*[1],xmlns:soap=http://s chemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/,RESPONSE.NODE) TEMP.STATUS = XDOMGetNodeName(RESPONSE.NODE,RESPONSE.TYPE) IF TEMP.STATUS # XML.SUCCESS THEN XMLACTION = Locating Response within Message GOTO HANDLE.XML.ERROR END * BEGIN CASE CASE RESPONSE.TYPE = OBJ_QADATA OUT.DATA = ; OUT.DATARECTYPE = RECTYPE_DATASETS CHILD.NO = 0 LOOP CHILD.NO += 1 WHILE XDOMLocateNode(RESPONSE.NODE,XDOM.CHILD,CHILD.NO,XDOM.ELEMENT.NODE, CHILD.NODE) # XML.ERROR DO NODE.NAME = TEMP.STATUS = XDOMGetNodeName(CHILD.NODE,NODE.NAME) IF NODE.NAME = OBJ_DATASET THEN ...

With a simple hand-constructed XML document, everything seems to work pretty well. Throw any xmlns namespaces into the mix and, well, things get butt-ugly. In the test example, we are receiving a SOAP response with a normal XML response. The program holds the XML string in a variable XML.DATA and then issues this: STATUS = XDOMOpen(XML.DATA, XML.FROM.STRING, DOM.HANDLE) ...and everything seems to be okay. This is then followed by: STATUS = XDOMLocate(DOM.HANDLE,START.NODE,'',NODE.HANDLE) ...where START.NODE is a variable containing the starting node. This is where things get ugly. First, the starting node value needs a // prefix, which I see is an XPath syntax thing but the Unidata documentation say nothing about it. Second, for a node to be found - for whatever reason - there must be xmlns= in the node. There can be nothing between the quotes, that doesn't work, but without the xmlns= it's apparently looking to some parent name space and ... well, things don't work. So this xml frag works: Handle xmlns= But this does not: Handle xmlns=http://; ...or... Handle I've tried using XDOMLocate with a full XDOM path to the node, no love. I've tried extracting the first node in the XML document, no love. There are only two situations that seem to work, the first being sending in START.NODE = in which case the entire document is parsed, or with //name in which case it'll work if the XML has been manually munged to either remove all namespacing or to add the xmlns= on the nodes to be extracted. Seems kinda wonky to have to replace something in order to allow it to be extracted, don't it? I've tried different settings for the namespace variable on XDOMLocate (which is the '' above) and nothing seems to work. Could it be because the xmlns= refers to a dead URL? Seems every time I'm in into this kind of thing the namespace urls are dead, so it seems to be something of a common thing. Could this be stopping Unidata from being able to find a specific node? Clearly either I'm doing some stuff incorrectly; otherwise this is a feature that isn't quite fully baked.

Re: [U2] Command logging in Universe 10.2.1
Does windows have the equivalent to unix's tee command? I can tell you what I'd try on unix, because I don't think COMO will capture unix SH output. (SH for shell is UV's unix equivanent to DOS verb for windows.) I haven't used tee very much, but I *think* unix tee would capture stdout stderr from all child processes that said children don't explicitly redirect. IF that's right, I'd first try this approach for a general solution on unix: 1. replace the unix SH (On windows DOS) command with a wrapper that records the command that the user wants to run, then runs the user's command via tee. Execute that via SH.RESTRICTED 2. Create SH.RESTRICTED as an R-item pointing to vanilla NEWACC SH and use a remote control subroutine to make sure we got here via your custom SH wrapper. IF that works (I haven't tried any of it), it should automatically handle all existing SH usage already deployed in your ap. That's a unix approach; don't know windows DOS command. Please publish your solution once you've found one.

Re: [U2] Capturing output from a Command line program?
Richard, When Universe shells down via the DOS command, it (Universe) doesn't reliably handle standard output and/or error. The result is that DOS output isn't always captured when EXECUTE'd (it seems to depend on the command). A more reliable strategy is to redirect the command output into a type 1 or 19 file, then READ it in. rex Richard Blackman wrote: Hi All, I am trying to capture the output from an EXECUTE statement on a command line program but nothing is being captured, even though I know there is some output.

Re: [U2] Command logging in Universe 10.2.1
One thing to consider is the command stacks that are written to savedlists which has the command line activity. Not gospel as they can be manipulated but something.If it were me, I'd lock down command line access and/or the commands themselves. In past lives, I've had wrappers around system commands that did whatever logging was necessary.For example ED ran our special version which took the command line options and logged them and verified that the particular user was 'authorized' to use ED or access the file they entered. Another method might be to COMO everything and change the name of the COMO command to something only your administrator knows so no one could 'COMO OFF'. Of course you'd need to lock down VOC changes and access to the UV account and certain system tables.
