Re: [U2] Corrupted compiled code
You might try checking the source/object with VCATALOG after a problem occurs and before you recompile. What I'm hearing Bill say is that object code on disk has changed (apparently). As someone else suggested - check time/date of object also to see if this has changed after what you believe to be the last compilation. If a problem occurred, but did not re-occur after exiting and starting a new udt session - that feels like 'flaky memory' or some problem with udt.exe that has corrupted the memory for that process (think exception violation). If the only correction is to generate new object code (that presumably is not identical to what had been used), then you start thinking about disk or utilities that could touch files/objects on disk.

Re: [U2] Corrupted compiled code
Well it appears that SEP, does not allow the use of wildcards for exclusions. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=contentid=TECH104326 Another reason why I hate Symantec, but, I shall not become a troll. I would pick through their knowledge base or call them up and see if there is a way to exclude anything with a .O in it (or whatever Unidata uses).

Re: [U2] Corrupted compiled code
Actually I exclude everything except the two directories, on the E:\ drive, used for uploads and the base Windows C:\ directory where nothing resides, except Windows and drivers. Temp and the page file is on D. I also checked the scanning, and real-time exception list and everything's excluded (except the upload directories). Makes one wonder though. Not every recompile, obviously, causes problems. We have 1,500 programs that get recompiled occasionally (every three or four months) in our development environment (everything was re-compiled on 20 Dec 11). Merry XMas.

Re: [U2] Is there any ORM's for Universe. NHibernate, Entity Framework etc
What I would like to see is that U2 builds stronger interface between UniBasic Subroutines and DataSets/entity frameworks. The current methodology is to create a 3 tier environment with a database server, an application server and a client server where U2 is just a simple data server. If you use U2 as the data server and the application server, you have greater ability to take advantage of the performance benefits of multivalue databases and you simplify the transaction process and disaster recovery. ORMs work with stored procedures, so why not subroutines. Regards David Jordan ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] Corrupted compiled code
John: As an aside, I'm using UD. Our code is kept in a particular file in an application account (directory). The code is compiled which puts the object in the same file (e.g. program BUILD.HEADING gets compiled as _BUILD.HEADING and resides in the same program file). When the program is cataloged, I leave it alone and put a VOC pointer in the local account, the DIRECT catalog option. All code resides in the same place but is not globally cataloged into the global catalog space. This directory is excluded by SEP. In fact, SEP allows me to exclude using the '*' wildcard (e.g. D:\* excludes this entire drive). The entire AV industry is pretty screwed up. I've used several products and, lately, I'm back with Symantec because I'm able to do the simple stuff, without too much interference, quickly and cheaply. Kaspersky was my last AV provider (on servers) and I couldn't take them any more. :-( Thanks and have a Merry Xmas.

Re: [U2] Is there any ORM's for Universe. NHibernate, Entity Framework etc
David, I've spent a lot of time on that very topic and have come to the conclusion that for many applications I really don't want to use a complex ORM middle tier. Sometimes the absolute best thing to do is to pass requests from the UI, back into BASIC as soon as possible, foregoing client and middle-tier validation, and even sacrificing the warm and fuzzy convenience of strongly typed classes binding to UI components. The thing is that in today's world we try to be PC and separate tiers as much as possible. But an ORM puts datasource-aware components into the UI, or close to it, and personally I feel like I'm breaking conventions of isolation by mixing the tiers. So in one of my code generators I generated dumb POCOs (Plain Ol' Class Objects) to help with the UI, and then used various patterns to attach them to separate data access components, whether UO, QMClient, MVSP, etc. Again the idea here is to keep this middle-tier as simple as possible, and as you suggest, keep all of the power in the MV tier and BASIC. Some of my clients also prefer this because it gives their BASIC/non-.NET people more control. About stored procs: In mv.NET, and I'd guess in the FusionWare offering as well, the stored procedure method invocation (.Execute, etc) on a strongly typed object does map to a BASIC program, so you get your wish there. I will be happy to provide a small sample of code for that here or elsewhere if you wish. Regards, T From:David Jordan What I would like to see is that U2 builds stronger interface between UniBasic Subroutines and DataSets/entity frameworks. The current methodology is to create a 3 tier environment with a database server, an application server and a client server where U2 is just a simple data server. If you use U2 as the data server and the application server, you have greater ability to take advantage of the performance benefits of multivalue databases and you simplify the transaction process and disaster recovery. ORMs work with stored procedures, so why not subroutines. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
