Subject: [U2] Why should we NOT upgrade to UV11.1.1 ?

UV11.1 has been available for AIX for 7 month; for Linux only 3..
I don't know how widely used it is yet.
I have not seen a rash of complaints about 11.1.

We are currently on 10.2.10 / Windows and contemplating migrating to
Linux.
UV choices are:  10.3.9   11.1.1.

We do not have a burning need for any new 11.1 functionality.  The main
motivation would be to be able to put off future upgrades longer by
making this jump bigger.

Linux choices are RedHat or SuSE.  Your thoughts?

Any warnings or endorsements re. UV version /or Linux choices would be
much appreciated.

 Hi George

 I use a Windows phone 7.  With a web page there is a cost of time for
 downloading a web page and a performance issue with screen loading.
 With an app, I conform to the user interface of the phone which are more
 intuitive to a phone user.  The app loads quicker and runs quicker.
 However if you have users using android, blackberry, iphone, etc then
 you need to create a separate app for each phone.   With the new phones
 you need to load the app from the marketplace which is difficult for an
 enterprise application.   Hence the decision to use an app vs web is
 related to performance and intuitive interface vs portable and easier to
 load.

 Remember also that most phones have no virus protection and are a
 potential risk area for Trojans and viruses for web interfaces.  An app
 is a bit more secure.

 Again there are other features I can use on the phone such as sending a
 spreadsheet of KPIs to the phone rather than having an application to
 access KPIs.  There are just too many ways to skin a cat.

Uniobjects is a C module that has been wrapped and packaged for java,
vb, and .NET.

PickWiki has several examples, as well as the rocket software docs.

If you upgrade  to the new WebDE you will be using uniobjects for
communication (really deep down.)

Re: [U2] Uniobjects - What Is It?

2011-05-19 Thread John Thompson
My understanding is somewhat limited, and like yourself, I have only ever
learned what I had the time to do, or what was required at my job.  Recently
though, I have been putting effort into branching out.

That being said...

My understanding of UniObjects is that it is a connector into Universe or
Unidata.
You have to have a windows machine as the go between.

So for example, if you wanted to use some .NET language or C#, or PHP, or
whatever to connect your Universe or Unidata database to a web form, etc.,
you could use UniObjects running on a Windows Server running IIS or Apache
(a web server) that sits alongside your U2 database server.

It doesn't have to be web apps I don't think... For example, some of the
software offered as part of the Client CD you get from Rocket uses it to
edit dictionaries, programs, etc.

As far as other technologies that are out there...
I am still pretty much a noobie myself, but, there are a ton out there that
you can use to talk to Universe or Unidata.

I know more about the Linux/AIX side of things than I do Windows, but, in
most cases if you get to the point where you can make a programming language
(PHP/Perl/Python, etc. etc.) launch a Universe or Unidata session, read in
some data, and write some data back out, then you are a great deal of the
way there (and of course security is always part of the design, in whatever
you build).

I currently have been having a lot of fun with the following scenario:

Using Ubuntu Linux as a web server running Apache/PHP
Sending http requests to the AIX server running Universe/Apache/PHP
which then launches a Universe session to pick up the data and write it back
out
which then sends the result back to the Ubuntu web server.
(JSON is used as the standard data interchange format)
(JQuery is used to make the web forms pretty and work with data - not
required really)
(PHP is used to send the requests and also work with the data)

Of course, like anything... in a production environment (which this is not
currently in), you have to lock down your U2 machine to
only receive requests from that Web Server, etc.

I got the idea (and help) from another gentleman named Kevin King.  I have
been having a lot of fun with it.

Like anything though, everybody has their tools that they like.  The beauty
of this in my opinion is that you can try it out for free, and if you don't
like it, the only thing you have possibly wasted is some time.

Re: [U2] Pondering recent thread on compact framework

2011-05-19 Thread John Thompson
To answer number 1:

I was planning on investigating the following scenario:

1) Setting up a web server to talk to the Universe machine
2) Using JQuery mobile and PHP to connect my mobile devices to Universe

http://jquerymobile.com/

This is NOT a local app on the device scenario, and would require the user
to have a Wi-Fi or 3G connection to use.  However, where I'm located (in an
urban area), every kid on the street has an iphone or android device or
something of that nature.

To answer number 2:

Local development usually depends on how long Management wants to wait for
us to get it done (there are only a couple of us)

To answer number 3:

Not really... I like to learn new things, but, its usually how skillful I
can be at ignoring the interruptions and project overload.

  Hi George
 
  I use a Windows phone 7.  With a web page there is a cost of time for
  downloading a web page and a performance issue with screen loading.
  With an app, I conform to the user interface of the phone which are more
  intuitive to a phone user.  The app loads quicker and runs quicker.
  However if you have users using android, blackberry, iphone, etc then
  you need to create a separate app for each phone.   With the new phones
  you need to load the app from the marketplace which is difficult for an
  enterprise application.   Hence the decision to use an app vs web is
  related to performance and intuitive interface vs portable and easier to
  load.
 
  Remember also that most phones have no virus protection and are a
  potential risk area for Trojans and viruses for web interfaces.  An app
  is a bit more secure.
 
  Again there are other features I can use on the phone such as sending a
  spreadsheet of KPIs to the phone rather than having an application to
  access KPIs.  There are just too many ways to skin a cat.

Re: [U2] Uniobjects - What Is It?

2011-05-19 Thread Charles_Shaffer
 What are UniObjects?

Uniobjects are libraries.  Theses can be included in a variety of 
applications and provide access to U2 databases.  On Linux there is 
Uniobjects for Java.  There is a version for .NET.  And there is an older 
COM version that can be used for applications that don't support .NET.

I mainly use the Uniobjects for Java to access data from our Unidata 
system from PHP.  I use some .NET in VB applications.  The COM version is 
used in some Domino agents..

 Yes, but:

  You have to have a windows machine as the go between.


 Not true - you can do this with *nix.


  So for example, if you wanted to use some .NET language or C#, or PHP, or
 whatever to connect your Universe or Unidata database to a web form, etc.,
 you could use UniObjects running on a Windows Server running IIS or Apache
 (a web server) that sits alongside your U2 database server.

 It doesn't have to be web apps I don't think... For example, some of the
 software offered as part of the Client CD you get from Rocket uses it to
 edit dictionaries, programs, etc.

 As far as other technologies that are out there...
 I am still pretty much a noobie myself, but, there are a ton out there
 that
 you can use to talk to Universe or Unidata.

 I know more about the Linux/AIX side of things than I do Windows, but, in
 most cases if you get to the point where you can make a programming
 language
 (PHP/Perl/Python, etc. etc.) launch a Universe or Unidata session, read in
 some data, and write some data back out, then you are a great deal of the
 way there (and of course security is always part of the design, in
 whatever
 you build).

 I currently have been having a lot of fun with the following scenario:

 Using Ubuntu Linux as a web server running Apache/PHP
 Sending http requests to the AIX server running Universe/Apache/PHP
 which then launches a Universe session to pick up the data and write it
 back
 out
 which then sends the result back to the Ubuntu web server.
 (JSON is used as the standard data interchange format)
 (JQuery is used to make the web forms pretty and work with data - not
 required really)
 (PHP is used to send the requests and also work with the data)

 Of course, like anything... in a production environment (which this is not
 currently in), you have to lock down your U2 machine to
 only receive requests from that Web Server, etc.

 I got the idea (and help) from another gentleman named Kevin King.  I have
 been having a lot of fun with it.

 Like anything though, everybody has their tools that they like.  The
 beauty
 of this in my opinion is that you can try it out for free, and if you
 don't
 like it, the only thing you have possibly wasted is some time.

Re: [U2] Why should we NOT upgrade to UV11.1.1 ?

2011-05-19 Thread Brett Callacher
Chuck,

I think that 11.1.1 is a Windows release so this may, or may not be relevant.

LIST.READU does not report a pid in 11.1.1.  This is a known issue and is 
fixed in 11.1.3 I am told.

How you go about finding any known issues, I have yet to establish.

 UV11.1 has been available for AIX for 7 month; for Linux only 3..
 I don't know how widely used it is yet.
 I have not seen a rash of complaints about 11.1.

 We are currently on 10.2.10 / Windows and contemplating migrating to Linux.
 UV choices are:  10.3.9   11.1.1.

 We do not have a burning need for any new 11.1 functionality.  The main
 motivation would be to be able to put off future upgrades longer by
 making this jump bigger.

 Linux choices are RedHat or SuSE.  Your thoughts?

 Any warnings or endorsements re. UV version /or Linux choices would be

I imagine most people simply use it to run subroutines in external 
applications, but you can achieve a lot (perhaps most or all?) of the things 
you can do at the prompt and UniBasic program with uniobjects natively in .net, 
java or any other language that you can use UO with.  You can also deploy it 
with the application and open a session directly which is the one thing Redback 
can't do.

We actually use both since some of our third party software is built on redback 
and our internal software runs through a WCF webservice that manages a 
connection pool of uniobjects sessions in a windows service.  I haven't ever 
done anything with RBOs and redpages but I haven't ever seen the need when I 
can do everything much more easily right in my .net applications (obviously 
backed by UniBasic Subs on the server).

Subject: [U2] Pondering recent thread on compact framework

Since it's a little slow here I'll open a discussion which is borderline
between Tech and Community.

The thread Uniobjects.Net Compact Framework and Visual Basic
had an interesting resolution.  I'd like to see more discussions on that
topic.

If only there were enough people interested in mobile connectivity, I'd
get a WinMobile to replace my old Win PDA devices, and offer app
development services for these devices.
I've blogged about mobile development and have written proof-of-concept
apps.  But there is never a critical mass of demand for any device (Win,
Android, iPhone, Blackberry, etc) to justify the investment required to
do a lot of this.

What I'm wondering of the U2 audience is:

1) Is there little to no interest in mobile computing for U2 systems
despite hundreds of thousands of apps satisfying a hunger in the
mobile-user marketplace?

If that's the case, it's no wonder the Pick community continues to lose
market share.

2) Is everyone with interest happily doing development internally?

If that's the case, I'm surprised there isn't more discussion here.
What are you folks doing to create mobile apps for your U2 business
systems?

3) Are people resigned to I don't know how to do this therefore my
company won't do it?

Unfortunately that sort of thinking is quite common in the general Pick
community, and it's no less than suicidal for the market and individual
careers.  In short - if you don't do it, you will be replaced by those
who do - as many of you have seen over the years.


So where do U2 developers stand with mobile?  Personally I'm doing a lot
with SMS rather than trying to write apps for every phone (all based on
MV).  That's just my solution.  I'm also doing a lot with
voice/telephony, virtual PBX integration for companies that want to
shift from hardware solutions to more versatile phone systems backed by
MV.  This is only mobile
because some companies have decided to forego the pleasures of the GUI
for common voice menus.  It's just another solution where mobile
computing was once considered.

[U2] Simple UniQuery Question

2011-05-19 Thread Doug Farmer
For some reason, in all the years I have been doing this, I don't ever
remember being asked this.

A user asked me, if I have a UniQuery report listing a single value and
a multi value, how can I repeat the single value for every multi value.

For example

CustomerInvoice
100012345
12389
13101
200014000
14001

Would become

CustomerInvoice
100012345
100012389
100013101
200014000
200014001

I can probably do it with a I Desc subroutine, but is there any UniQuery
command to do the same thing without having to create many more
dictionary items?

Thanks in advance,

Doug

Tony, I completely agree with you. I think you are misinterpreting my
sor far ... much penetration to mean isn't appropriate

Take for banking sector, which is typically quite reserved/slow in
uptake of current technology vs the gaming sector on the other side of
the spectrum.

Re: [U2] Simple UniQuery Question

2011-05-19 Thread Jeff Schasny
I actually ran into the same thing about a month ago and solved it by 
creating an I descriptor which calls a basic subroutine that returns a 
multivalued version of the single value.


Doug Farmer wrote:

For some reason, in all the years I have been doing this, I don't ever
remember being asked this.

A user asked me, if I have a UniQuery report listing a single value and
a multi value, how can I repeat the single value for every multi value.

For example

CustomerInvoice
100012345
12389
13101
200014000
14001

Would become

CustomerInvoice
100012345
100012389
100013101
200014000
200014001

I can probably do it with a I Desc subroutine, but is there any UniQuery
command to do the same thing without having to create many more
dictionary items?

Thanks in advance,

Re: [U2] Pondering recent thread on compact framework

2011-05-19 Thread John Thompson
Two practical examples come to mind...

Reports:
If you are talking about something at least as large as an Ipad, then
reports that top management would want to look at comes to mind.

There are any number of tools out there, that are compatible with IOS 4+ or
Android or WIndows Mobile Browsers, or what have you, that you could use
to grab a real time snapshot of sales for the day.

The president of the company walks in, gets his coffee, turns on his ipad,
opens up a browser, and touches the link to see the sales for today, or for
yesterday.

How is this different, than him turning on his PC, firing up Accuterm,
logging in, and viewing a green screen report of the same info?
Not much, really, other than its prettier.

Proof of Delivery:
If you are into something that might actually make some money for the
company, then think proof of delivery.  For those in the delivery
business...
What if you could write a web interface or an app for a mobile device that
would capture a signature for an invoice?
Perhaps you might throw in some GPS capability and send data back to U2
about where the driver went for the day, etc.

If you have 200 drivers and you could do all of this on a $200
Iphone,Android, or Windows Mobile phone, then that is a lot better than
paying Motorola 5 times that amount per device for some proprietary device
that was just made to do deliveries.

And yes, its all a fairly large learning curve.
If it were easy, then businesses would not need us...

We do not have a burning need for any new 11.1 functionality.  The main

Re: [U2] Pondering recent thread on compact framework

2011-05-19 Thread George Gallen
ok. But this isn't something that can't be done already using existing web 
programming,
   just tailored to the screen layout of a mobile device.

I'm talking about interfacing with a mobile device using apps, which is 
different depending
   on which phone mfg you are trying to interface with. (granted, Tony was 
asking specific to Windows)

But as stated already, if you use the web method, it's HTML, as long as the 
browser supports
HTML, you have one development route.

However, with mobile apps, you would need to have a different program, or at 
least end-drivers for
   each type of phone - and then you need to know which phone it's going to.

Until, the phone mfgs start using ONE standard, it's there needs to be some 
really really good app
   out there that you can't do already either by email, or by browser that 
would make someone want
   to spend the development time/money to support 5 or 6 different standards.

That's what I'm looking for.what are those really good apps that have been 
developed out there
   that would make it worth the effort.




Capturing signatures or GPS data , that I see as useful, and a potential reason 
for development.

I could see devloping an app that would just accept data, then using the phones 
User interface make displays
that would be difficult using a browser.but that again, it would need to be 
something worth the development.


Those are the ideas/reasons that need to be put out there, where we could pitch 
it's usefullness.

Armed with these kind of uses, this could ignite some fires.

I imagine most people simply use it to run subroutines in external 
applications, but you can achieve a lot (perhaps most or all?) of the things 
you can do at the prompt and UniBasic program with uniobjects natively in .net, 
java or any other language that you can use UO with.  You can also deploy it 
with the application and open a session directly which is the one thing Redback 
can't do.

We actually use both since some of our third party software is built on redback 
and our internal software runs through a WCF webservice that manages a 
connection pool of uniobjects sessions in a windows service.  I haven't ever 
done anything with RBOs and redpages but I haven't ever seen the need when I 
can do everything much more easily right in my .net applications (obviously 
backed by UniBasic Subs on the server).

 What are UniObjects?

Uniobjects are libraries.  Theses can be included in a variety of applications 
and provide access to U2 databases.  On Linux there is Uniobjects for Java.  
There is a version for .NET.  And there is an older COM version that can be 
used for applications that don't support .NET.

I mainly use the Uniobjects for Java to access data from our Unidata system 
from PHP.  I use some .NET in VB applications.  The COM version is used in some 
Domino agents..

[U2] Multi char delimiter in DICT item

2011-05-19 Thread Bob Woodward
Hi folks,

I'm in Unidata 6.1 and I'm trying to find a way to use a multi character
value as a delimiter for a parsing function in an I-desc dict item.  I'm
working with Bartender label data records and I'm trying to parse the
first line on the /PRN= value, without the quote marks.  FIELD only
lets me use a single character.

What I have so far in the DICT item is:
001: I   
002: F1;FIELD(@1,'PRN=',2);FIELD(@2,'',2)   
003: 
004: PRN 
005: 15L 
006: S   

This works great until a capital P is in the label name before the PRN.
Field is taking the first character and ignoring the RN=.  I do NOT want
to make a subroutine if I can avoid it.  I've tried using CHANGE to swap
out PRN= with a single character but apparently that's not an allowed
command in the DICT items.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Re: [U2] Uniobjects - What Is It?

2011-05-19 Thread Charles_Shaffer
I don't know much about RedBack.  It may provide more developed tools than 
Uniobjects does.  UO gives you libraries that you can use in your 
applicaitons.

 can you briefly describe some real world examples of what kind of 
applications were written with UniObjects?

I use UniObjects to access data from Unidata where our main systems are. 
Examples;

A Visual Basic application for scanning in Invoices and Checks for image 
archiving.  I use the UO libraries in the VB application to retrieve as 
much informatino as possible about the document from Unidata where our 
financials are.  The image and the information  are stored in a Domino 
database and later, after the invoices are paid, the rest of the 
information is gathered using the COM version of the Uniobjects libraries 
in a LotusScript script.

Mostly though.  I use Uniobjects for Java on Linux web servers to provide 
PHP access to data on our Unidata system.  We use web interfaces for 
spending analysis, work orders, crib inventory, production order analysis, 
and shipping,  When I first started working with PICK in the 80s, we had 
to use a pair of programs to manually move data between the PICK 
ennvironment and the native file system.  Now I can validate a field in a 
web browser against our Unidata database, in real time.  This integrates 
the Unidata based information with information from other database 
systems.  Very useful.

Uniobjects comes on the client disk so there is nothing to buy.

I imagine most people simply use it to run subroutines in external 
applications, but you can achieve a lot (perhaps most or all?) of the things 
you can do at the prompt and UniBasic program with uniobjects natively in .net, 
java or any other language that you can use UO with.  You can also deploy it 
with the application and open a session directly which is the one thing Redback 
can't do.

We actually use both since some of our third party software is built on redback 
and our internal software runs through a WCF webservice that manages a 
connection pool of uniobjects sessions in a windows service.  I haven't ever 
done anything with RBOs and redpages but I haven't ever seen the need when I 
can do everything much more easily right in my .net applications (obviously 
backed by UniBasic Subs on the server).

Are you saying that UniObjects are used instead of Redback or is it used in 
addition to Redback?

Without giving away company secrets, can you briefly describe some real world 
examples of what kind of applications were written with UniObjects?  Loosely 
speaking, what practical uses are there that I am not grasping?  If I am 
content with doing things from TCL, why do I need this?  Is this more for 
end-user applications (i.e. not programmers)?

What sort of things can I take to management that I could do with UniObjects 
that will make them go WOW!

 What are UniObjects?

Uniobjects are libraries.  Theses can be included in a variety of applications 
and provide access to U2 databases.  On Linux there is Uniobjects for Java.  
There is a version for .NET.  And there is an older COM version that can be 
used for applications that don't support .NET.

I mainly use the Uniobjects for Java to access data from our Unidata system 
from PHP.  I use some .NET in VB applications.  The COM version is used in some 
Domino agents..

 Subject: [U2] Multi char delimiter in DICT item
 
 Hi folks,
 
 I'm in Unidata 6.1 and I'm trying to find a way to use a multi
 character
 value as a delimiter for a parsing function in an I-desc dict item.
 I'm
 working with Bartender label data records and I'm trying to parse the
 first line on the /PRN= value, without the quote marks.  FIELD only
 lets me use a single character.
 
 What I have so far in the DICT item is:
 001: I
 002: F1;FIELD(@1,'PRN=',2);FIELD(@2,'',2)
 003:
 004: PRN
 005: 15L
 006: S
 
 This works great until a capital P is in the label name before the PRN.
 Field is taking the first character and ignoring the RN=.  I do NOT
 want
 to make a subroutine if I can avoid it.  I've tried using CHANGE to
 swap
 out PRN= with a single character but apparently that's not an allowed
 command in the DICT items.
 
 Thanks for any help you can offer.

Re: [U2] Multi char delimiter in DICT item

2011-05-19 Thread Richard A. Wilson

how about INDEX then you should be able to use C0L1 COL2 logic

or what I did years ago for CONVERT since it wasnt allowed to
be used in an Itype was create a generic subroutine that could
be used as a SUBR where ever I needed it

something like
SUBR('*CONVERT.SUBR',@RECORD1,from delim,to delim)

Re: [U2] Multi char delimiter in DICT item

2011-05-19 Thread Bob Woodward
That won't get me any closer.  Reason is that we have differing numbers
of options possible.  I really need to somehow identify where PRN (or
/PRN or PRN= or ...) is.  Once I have that, I can use FIELD on the
double quotes to get what I want.

Double slashes won't work, either, as FIELD still just takes the first
slash character and uses it.

Here's a sample of the data line I'm working with but, again, the number
of options and option commands can change.  Only /PRN= is going to be
guaranteed to be unique to that data position. (The sample may wrap but
it's a single line.)

   I'm in Unidata 6.1 and I'm trying to find a way to use a multi
   character
   value as a delimiter for a parsing function in an I-desc dict
item.
   I'm
   working with Bartender label data records and I'm trying to parse
 the
   first line on the /PRN= value, without the quote marks.  FIELD
 only
   lets me use a single character.
  
   What I have so far in the DICT item is:
   001: I
   002: F1;FIELD(@1,'PRN=',2);FIELD(@2,'',2)
   003:
   004: PRN
   005: 15L
   006: S
  
   This works great until a capital P is in the label name before the
  PRN.
   Field is taking the first character and ignoring the RN=.  I do
NOT
   want
   to make a subroutine if I can avoid it.  I've tried using CHANGE
to
   swap
   out PRN= with a single character but apparently that's not an
 allowed
   command in the DICT items.
  
   Thanks for any help you can offer.

 That won't get me any closer.  Reason is that we have differing
 numbers
 of options possible.  I really need to somehow identify where PRN
 (or
 /PRN or PRN= or ...) is.  Once I have that, I can use FIELD on the
 double quotes to get what I want.

 Double slashes won't work, either, as FIELD still just takes the first
 slash character and uses it.

 Here's a sample of the data line I'm working with but, again, the
 number
 of options and option commands can change.  Only /PRN= is going to
 be
 guaranteed to be unique to that data position. (The sample may wrap
 but
 it's a single line.)

2011-05-19 Thread andy baum
Or you can use :-


   MATCHFIELD(F1,\0X'PRN='0X''0X\,3)


To directly extract the value. This works in Universe but not sure if Unidata 
supports the third (\) quote symbol. If not then you can use :-


   MATCHFIELD(F1,0X'PRN=:'':'0X':'':'0X,3)


Which is not quite as readable.

Re: [U2] Pondering recent thread on compact framework

2011-05-19 Thread John Hester
I wrote a series of mobile applications back in '06 for use by our sales
reps in the field.  I opted to make them browser based so it was
essentially the same WebSphere to U2 development I was already doing for
our public facing web site.  The only difference was that I stripped out
javascript and images to make performance reasonable and sized
everything to fit a small screen.  We were using Palm Treos and the time
and the horrible Blazer browser barely supported javascript, if at all.
We're currently on Blackberries, and the app migration to the new
platform consisted of minor tweaks to a single stylesheet.  The web apps
use Active Directory for authentication and everything runs over SSL, so
it's plenty secure.  Of course, the primary drawback of this approach is
that if your data service gets dropped while you're right in the middle
of a multi-step process (like placing an order), you're liable to have
to start over.
