[U2] PDF Files directly from UniData or UniVerse

2011-04-12 Thread Doug Farmer
Here is a question for this group.

Has anyone been able to generate PDF files directly from UniData and/or 
UniVerse without having a manual step involved?  In other words, just running a 
program using the standard PRINTER ON and PRINTER OFF commands, and having the 
output be a PDF file?

Any pointers would be very welcome.

Doug

I haven't tried it, but it could probably be done with the BASIC aux-on, 
aux-off commands if the pc's default printer was set to print2pdf or a 
similar product.

We use a script called txt2pdf (maybe text2pdf, iirc) and it is
integrated into our SB+ spool functionality.

It is just another output like CSV or TXT.

If you are on aix, you can setup a virtual queue that runs a script on
anything printed through it.  That may work as well.  That is how our
Optio printing is integrated.

What platform?  We use PrintWizard ( http://www.anzio.com/product/print-wizard 
) and are very pleased with it. It's Windows based though. For PDF's (with 
emailing too btw) we LPR the jobs from the HP-UX/UniVerse server to a Windows 
Server for processing and sending. It can also do a bunch of other things like 
barcodes, forms, etc.  They've also been VERY responsive when I've seen an 
issue or needed an enhancement.
 
Disclosure (since this is such a big issue lately) - I have ZERO affiliation 
with the software except as a happy customer.

Re: [U2] PDF Files directly from UniData or UniVerse

2011-04-12 Thread George Gallen
We use txt2pdf also, via a UV subroutine, which then emails it to whomever.
I believe it's a C routine (made for unix/linux)

The only problem we encounter, is when the number of pages gets to around 300 
or so.

If your on a PC, you could always install CutePDF as a printer driver, when it
receives data to be printed (made into a PDF), however, it will ask you for a 
filename.
Possibly their non-free version may have true a pass-through form of driver.

I've used the CutePDF pro version at home to manipuate PDF's, and the free 
version
to just save trees, by printing to PDF's (haven't had any issues with the free 
version).

Re: [U2] PDF Files directly from UniData or UniVerse

2011-04-12 Thread Bruce Gauthier
We use txt2pdf (free) to convert standard HOLD entries (Universe/Windows) into 
PDF files, both landscape and portrait.

We then use AWMAIL ($500) to attached the PDF file to an email message and send 
it to the user.

It works automatically and beautifully.

Next in line, we are setting a distribution profile which will allow the PDF 
file to be printed on any printer(s) with designated number of copies, emailed 
to any number of people, land on any file server, and publish to SharePoint 
2010.

2011-04-12 Thread Glen Batchelor

 Doug,

   Please state your platform and flavor to help narrow down solutions.
There are a million ways to produce e-documents (including PDF) and deliver
them. It would help to know how your end-user is expecting to obtain the
document and if there are uses for other types of documents. The delivery
mechanism will work for all file types, but the conversion process should be
flexible enough to support additional types with add-on convertors. The
document could be an image, web page, PDF, or even an MS Office doc so don't
forget that when you are considering your options.

create and format documents to a PDF but also direct it to the printer, Fax
or Email.  It also handles the scanning  of documents.

Subject: [U2] PDF Files directly from UniData or UniVerse

Here is a question for this group.

Has anyone been able to generate PDF files directly from UniData and/or
UniVerse without having a manual step involved?  In other words, just
running a program using the standard PRINTER ON and PRINTER OFF commands,
and having the output be a PDF file?

Any pointers would be very welcome.

Re: [U2] Disclosing technology

2011-04-12 Thread Robert Porter
Most tech companies consider everything inside the DC proprietary and
confidential. The NDA's I've seen usually include such items. And I do
believe they'd hold up... the employee signed it knowingly  willingly.
How is that not legitimate? 
 
So if you can't see any reason for it, why is it such common practice? 
So much so that Facebook just made the Wall Street Journal by announcing
that it WILL release the new DC's info:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704013604576248953972500040.html?mod=dist_smartbrief



Many tech companies, such as Google (
http://online.wsj.com/public/quotes/main.html?type=djnamp;symbol=goog
)Inc., keep key details about their computing infrastructure
confidential. But Facebook said it will publish technical specifications
for a new data center it built from scratch in Prineville,
Ore.—including details of the computers, power supplies, server
racks, battery backup systems and building design.

Security is about minimization of risk. Advertising what you run, just
gave the attackers an advantage. In fact, you took a whole step away
from them - determining attack vectors. Nothing like giving them a jump
start...
 
Stepping out of my U2 role  into a hosting provider (disclosure: I
also own a small wholesale-only hosting provider), if I got a complaint
from a company that you were posting information they consider PC and a
potential security issue, I'd ask you to remove it. If you didn't, I'd
ask you to leave. Plain  simple. It's not worth the trouble.

 fft2...@aol.com 4/11/2011 9:28 PM 
I knew you were talking about me.
I do not accept your claim that this decision is up to the company
however.
Any former employee can certainly state what technology a company used,
and there is no legitimate contract which could preclude it.  Would some
companies wish to try to stop their past employees from talking about
what technologies are used there?  Possibly.  I really can't see any
reason for this hypothetical concept.  I've certainly never even been
asked, let alone required, to not discuss it.

Could companies legally do so?  That is, would such an effort stand up
in a claim?  It's quite unlikely.
There is no specific inherent claim a company could make to technology
created and owned by some outside source.  There is nothing confidential
about the nature of the technology, specific to any particular company
that uses it.

Publishing the name of the type of technology a company uses, is not
publishing people's private and confidential information.  Since when
did a company become a person?  Thousands of vendors publish addresses
of companies without their consent.  The privacy policy is specific to
persons only, and is specific to certain classes of information which
can not be discovered by public means.  If you publish your own social
security number, it's no longer private is it?  Likewise if anyone else
publishes it, it's no longer private either.

There is no confidentiality implicit in the type of technology a
company might use, and there is no higher authority to which to appeal,
at Knol or elsewhere, based on the privacy policy which covers
individuals solely, and only private not public information.

Will, I'll be clear that I'm talking about you publishing the

Your naïve statement that you're merely publishing the names of
companies is not the problem.  The problem is that you are

of technology, others do not.  This is their choice to make, not
yours.

As has been pointed out (thanks, guys), our Print Wizard can address this 
issue, and many more. Some specific points:

* If your U2 runs on Unix, Linux, AIX, etc., you can route print jobs to 
Print Wizard Service Edition (running on a Windows box) as though it were 
a remote printer.

* If your U2 runs on Windows, you can do the same approach, to the same or 
a different Windows box. Other methods are possible also.

* If your program puts out plain text code (no escape sequences), PW will 
auto-fit it to the page.

* If your program puts out PCL-5 data, PW can understand and translate 
that.

* Output can be to PDF, to fax (client or server), or to ANY Windows 
printer, with great device independence. 

* PDF output can be emailed, either automatically, semi-automatically, or 
manually, using Outlook, SMTP, or some others.

* Output can be combined with form images (in several formats, with 
multiple pages in various sequences).

* Command and control can be interactive or programmatic.

Re: [U2] Extreme slow down on Universe periodically

2011-04-12 Thread Curt Stewart
Thanks to all that have replied.  We're still busy researching and testing
but we did catch a break yesterday and it appears that the problem could be
the same that Wol mentioned.  We have had reports of CPU spikes in the past,
but these were only reported in off hours and usually the following day or
later.  Yesterday however, they noticed a process that was Spiking using
100% CPU.  We were able to track it to the user and find out exactly what
they were doing.  The user confirmed that they would just exit from the
telnet session window (Windows Telnet) and not log off properly.  When I
tested this, the Process immediately began spiking.

We're thinking and hoping that the slow downs that we have experienced are
the cumulative affects of multiple bad disconnects and CPU spikes.  I have
contacted Rocket to see if/when this issue has been resolved and we will
keep monitoring the server.

Again thanks for the help and input.  We're still going through several of
the suggestions to see what impact they may have.

- fast, as in very

- PCL interpreter
- generate merge forms from BASIC or UniQuery
- fully featured report generator from Basic or UniQuery
- report mining to capture existing reports and redesign them(*)
- real-time two-way BASIC API

Re: [U2] Extreme slow down on Universe periodically

2011-04-12 Thread Bob Rasmussen
This supports my contention that Windows' telnet client is not robust 
enough for use in a production environment.

[Ad]
Anzio, in this situation, will properly close down the host connection 
before quitting. In addition, it can be configured so that it is not 
possible (short of Task Manager or reboot) to quit from the client side. 
This then coerces the user into exiting from the menu system on the 
server, clear out to where the telnetd or sshd closes the connection. Then 
the client side (Anzio) reacts to this and quits. It avoids a lot of 
problems.

Re: [U2] PDF Files directly from UniData or UniVerse

2011-04-12 Thread Bill Haskett

Doug:

We've incorporated the PrintWizard PCL2PDF executable on our UniData 
server.  Our application asks the user to generate a report, then asks 
them where to output the report when it's done.  If the user selects a 
.pdf then a BASIC program runs the PW executable that converts the 
spooler .txt file to a .pdf file.  The spooler ID is then passed 
back and the user is sent to that URL; which happens to be a virtual 
directory on our internal web server.  The .pdf then displays in the 
Adobe plug-in in the user's web browser.  All this is integrated via our 
BASIC code.


So, I'm thinking this is a pretty integrated solution that's available 
that runs from within UD.


HTH,

 telnet session window (Windows Telnet) and not log off properly.  When I
 tested this, the Process immediately began spiking.

Okay, if that's what it looks like ... by the way, Bob, we used
wIntegrate, and not Windows Telnet ...
 
 We're thinking and hoping that the slow downs that we have experienced are
 the cumulative affects of multiple bad disconnects and CPU spikes.  I have
 contacted Rocket to see if/when this issue has been resolved and we will
 keep monitoring the server.

If you get a report of a slowdown, get onto the server and run Task
Manager (teaching grandma to suck eggs, but right click the task bar and
select it).

Sort processes by cpu and see if uvtelnet has floated to the top :-)

Right click the process and kill it. As I said, though, we found that
end process wouldn't do it. Selecting debug, however, did.
 
 Again thanks for the help and input.  We're still going through several of
 the suggestions to see what impact they may have.
 
Cheers,
Wol

Re: [U2] PDF Files directly from UniData or UniVerse

2011-04-12 Thread Buss, Troy (Logitek Systems)
There are lots of choices.   Ten years ago we found and continue to use 
PCL2PDF32 (from www.visual.co.uk ) on Windows Server 2003 with Universe 10.x as 
a complete command line interface.   PCL in, PDF out.   All of our forms are 
designed in a non-gui graphics design language that render to native PCL so 
there was no extra work to use this product except put in the conversion flags 
we like.

Nice too that it also optionally creates compressed PDF files that save a lot 
of space over the original text files for archive purposes.

For email, we use BLAT and attach the PDF file.   Or the user can choose to 
view the PDF (via wIntegrate file launch) instead of using the email print 
choice.

Swiftview is nice and has a lot of features. There is also pcl2pdf from 
www.visual.co.uk which I know works on AIX.

Re: [U2] Opinions on Cache

2011-04-12 Thread Don Verhagen
First I like to thank all that have responded to my query. I knew that
posting a question that may lead me to dropping U2 as a database may cause
some concern as to whether that is appropriate for this list.

I believe it is, because I want the opinions of people who have
experience/exposure in both U2 and Cache. There was a bit of confusion about
U2 and SB. If I decide to go with Cache, I would abandon the SB platform for
GUI UI. I was interested if there was any conversion utilities between SB
and .NET forms. Specifically if Cache has .NET DLLs/providers for
connectivity and databinding in .Net controls, etc.

I haven't looked at SB/XA yet, which I believe is the XAML (WPF) replacement
for SB. The candidate application is approx 15 years old (last used 3 years
ago) and is due for a major rewrite/overhaul. I have used WebDE (Redback) in
the past and was satisfied with it as middleware.

After the comments from this forum, I am going to request an evaluation
version from Intersystems.

Again, I just wanted to thank all for their comments, both online and
offline.

Thanks,

[U2] [UV] SET.SQL SELECT.BUFFER from UNIOLEDB Client?

2011-04-12 Thread Boydell, Stuart
Does anyone know how to get around a low SELBUF (.uvconfig) from an OLEDB (or 
ODBC) client?

From TCL I can run SET.SQL SELECT.BUFFER 

From my UNIOLE DB client I am getting an Abort!

Can't change SELBUF.

Cheers
Stuart

Re: [U2] [UV] SET.SQL SELECT.BUFFER from UNIOLEDB Client?

2011-04-12 Thread Brian Whitehorn
Not sure if this would work, but would it be possible to include
SET.SQL SELECT.BUFFER 
in the LOGIN in the VOC?

Cheers,
Brian.
