[U2] universe compiler -xref output
The universe compiler (-xref) option is pretty useful for tracking down variable usage. Specifically, I'd like to eliminate assigned but unused variables, so I'm looking for output that has single assignments only. It looks like the raw compiler output from -X is from an intermediate file and then captured using retrieve. Does anyone know if the intermediate file is available for running my own reports? On d3 it was the BSYM file and you could write your own reports to find what you need. I'm looking for something similar on universe because scanning for these variable assignments from large programs is very tedious using the current data in the captured cross reference listing that comes out of the source.L file. Worst case, I guess I could write another program to scan that record for what I need. -Troy _ Scanned by IBM Email Security Management Services powered by MessageLabs.

Re: [U2] Wintegrate 3 on Windows 7 issues
Scott, wIntegrate 3.0.03 runs on windows 7 32 bit, but I don't believe it runs on 64 bit. On windows 7, when I run my old wInteg 3, it shows as a child process of NTVDM and parallel with WOWEXEC. I'm not running it with any UAC, admin or other custom settings. We had the same thing happen where it would not appear for a long time, and we never traced the cause. Perhaps it was the licensing routine, I'm not sure, but it was quite annoying when it happened.

[U2] Universe 11.1.1 on Windows - logon delay fixed for WAN installations
FYI feedback on UV 11.1.1 for Windows... History: About 18 months ago we migrated user accounts from a locally hosted AD domain to a remote corporate AD domain and during this time period most users would experience a significant logon delay because logon credentials were being accessed only at the single PDC EMULATOR over a wide area network 2500 miles away. Logon times were delayed in most cases about 90 seconds and only the first 50 users cached would have faster subsequent logons. Current Status: We upgraded from 10.2.10 to 11.1.1 this past weekend and feedback from our users has been overwhelmingly positive about how fast they can log now in just a few seconds. I thought I would make everyone aware of this significant improvement (for AD WAN installations) and acknowledge Rocket Software for fixing this long standing issue! It certainly pays to read the release notes when announced from Rocket. Thank you Epicor for getting this release to us quickly. The release notes for 11.1.1 documented the following improvement: UNV-3858UniVerse -- At UniVerse 11.1.1, an upgrade was made to make Directory Services calls to retrieve the login path information. These calls are directed to any (or the closest, if the network is properly configured) Active Directory server that contains Domain Controller information about login paths. Also, username/sid/uid cache is now used for all types of users. What improves: 1. Login speed. For first user access after UV shutdown/restart: due to the ability to reach a closer situated AD server for the information (fast) For subsequent user access: due to the use of username/sid/uid cache (fastest) 2. Reliability Due to the ability to retrieve user authentication either from cache or any AD server even if the server containing PDC role is down or inaccessable - which is the main problem with slow or unreliable networks. -Troy _ Scanned by IBM Email Security Management Services powered by MessageLabs.

Re: [U2] [UV] odd problem with read statement assigning variable with random data with else clause in pick flavor
Mecki, Thanks for your ideas and help. Correct, the READU will stop on a record locked condition which is not the problem. Also this is not my code, but represents maybe 2000 read statements that might be in the entire application that assumes that the CITEM will not be changed if the ELSE clause is taken (per the pick flavor behavior of $options read.retain). And yes, with all of my own original code, I always assume that the ITEM is undefined if the read fails and I always set the ITEM to null. But again, this is code I inherited and have to deal with the runtime aspect of something not working correctly under some unknown circumstance. I'm not sure how long this issue has been present since I just happen to go into this one screen and notice that a field that should be empty suddenly had a zero in it. Upon further investigation, I'm able to see that the ITEM record was not being left NULL by the READ statement in this particular case. Over the holiday break I'm hoping I can come up with some sort of concise reproducible case that anyone can execute to see the issue. If it was happening everywhere, it would be pretty easy, but so far I can only see this scenario in one screen and with the combination of a COMMON variable and a READU statement. If I replace the variable being used with a local variable, the logic works as expected; leaving the ITEM null as it should. If I change the READU to a READ it works. Sounds like a runtime bug to me. -Troy -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Mecki Foerthmann Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 12:34 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] odd problem with read statement assigning variable with random data with else clause in pick flavor Hi Firstly READU will not execute the ELSE clause when the item is locked. It will just sit there and wait for the lock to be released. Regardless if it is a bug or not, your piece of code just doesn't make sense. What do you actually try to achieve? You try to read a record and when it doesn't exist you want to set the variable to null, right? So you use READU CITEM FROM FILE THEN ... END ELSE CITEM = '' instead of CITEM = '' READU CITEM FROM FILE THEN ... END and your problem is solved. I always use the ELSE clause with any READ BTW Regards Mecki ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] [UV] odd problem with read statement assigning variable with random data with else clause in pick flavor
Thanks for the replies... In this example I was using, the ID was not on file, so it would not have taken the LOCKED clause. I just added the locked clause to my actual failing code to test the theory and it still takes the ELSE clause because the record is truly not on file. I tried George's idea of using named common and the problem still happens. One last clarification, the problem seems to occur if the READ statement is a READU. If the statement is a regular READ, it does not happen. -Troy -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of David Jordan Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2009 1:23 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] odd problem with read statement assigning variablewith random data with else clause in pick flavor Hi Troy The problem with that code is that the else clause is taken when the record is locked.

[U2] [UV] using distributed files with multi level data files possible?
Running Universe 10.0.17 on Windows Server 2003 32bit: Can I create a distributed file for a data file that is part of shared dictionary (ie a multi-level data file)? I can't seem to get the syntax right. Here is the scenario. We have a large stock file with current transactions called STOCK that contains about 2 years of transactions and a growing history file with data copied from STOCK,STOCK to STOCK,HIST on a semi-annual basis. We've had to limit this STOCK,HIST file to about 2 years because of the 2GB limit. We are on Windows Server 2003 32bit and cannot create 64bit files, so I'd like to implement a distributed file for this STOCK,HIST and copy in about 4 to 6gb of older (offline) history data into it. Since the records are pure numeric and sequential I was going to create 10 part files and use the partitioning algorithm as INTERNAL "@ID[LEN(@ID),1]+1". What would be my steps and syntax to do this? >From my research, I have been successful at using DEFINE.DF, etc to do this at the primary datafile level like STOCK (aka STOCK,STOCK) but not when I reference a sub data file off of STOCK (like STOCK,HIST) it blows up. Sample below using similar names: Creating the files work fine: :CREATE-FILE TEST.STOCK 1,1 101,1 :CREATE-FILE TEST.STOCK.HIST.PART1 1,1 101,1 Then using the following to associate TEST.STOCK,HIST with the first part file fails: :DEFINE.DF DATA TEST.STOCK,HIST ADDING TEST.STOCK.HIST.PART1 1 INTERNAL "@ID[LEN(@ID),1]+1" I get: DICT and PDICT are not legal keywords with multilevel DATA files. File not created. If I leave out 'DATA' above, no difference. All of the existing applications software and dictionaries reference STOCK (comma) HIST or I'd just rewrite this as a new data file like STOCK (DOT) HIST and be done. This may end up being the work-around if this just won't work. Either multi level data files are not supported or I'm not getting the syntax correct. Any help would be much appreciated! -Troy --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

If you set up an I-Type that calls a subroutine with a named common

JayJay, Thanks for the reply. I guess my point is that we WANT to grant a user complete usage of ALL the functions within uniadmin. However, we specifically do not want them to be a windows system administrator in order to use the tool.

But we don't want them to control other aspects of the server that are inherent when you are in the administrator's group. It seems like there is a need to have a administrator maintained group code that can be associated with users that need to use the tool and the tool checks to make sure the user trying to use it is a member of said group.

Hi ALL: I have some forms that print to HP printers using standard PCL formatting codes. We now have a requirement for certain areas to be in color and I'm having a problem getting my PCL codes correct for printing on an actual HP (or compatible) printer. I'm using the following PCL commands within a basic program: * r -3 U select simple cmyk color palette * v 3 Sselect blue foreground color This code works correctly when I run the output through visual software's PCL to PDF converter. I get my graphics and my selected text in blue. However, when I print direct to the printer, I get a lot of the logo in blue, but rectangular portions of the logo in black as if the raster portions are ignoring my color selection. Just wanting to know if someone else out there has successfully implemented PCL coloring. Using postscript on these printers is not an option since I'm already using PCL to generate all the other formatting.

I think the PCL codes must have changed because nothing I send to this printer (raw driver over Linux) is working. no font changes, pitch changes... TIA -- Karl L.

RE: [U2] Index problem
It seems like the simple solution (which I've used) is that any fields you need to index in the header simply get replicated in the detail file as needed and then index those.

RE: [U2] [UV] Term settings for capture and no extra headings
Thanks Bill and everyone for their ideas. Some more clarification and information... We have a generic wrapper around all reports, both basic and ad hoc universe query. One of the options (besides PRINTING the report) is that the user can choose to 'capture' the output and a wintegrate script is executed which turns on capture to a file (running in NO.PAGE mode). Once the report is captured, they might use the report for excel or word or notepad editing. I would like to retain at least the first page's heading because it contains the column names and other information that may be useful for the report such as date ranges, report title, as of date, etc. If I do not change the page depth from 60, I get an undesirable page header every 60 lines which means the user has to manually remove them. By changing the page depth to zero in D3, one was able to get the first page headings, but there was never a second page so the report 'data' continued all the way to the end (without page breaks). What I have done for Universe is to set the maximum of 32767 for a page depth, but for some reports there is a chance that the data may exceed this line count. In addition, we have a few basic programs that do a 'page' command that forces a new heading and we end up with almost 32,000 blank lines before the next page heading because universe is essentially filling out the prior page with CRLF for the remaining line count. The only work around that I've come up with (conceptually so far) is to create a hold file (via (P) printing the job), trim out the blank lines before form feeds, turn on capture, and then PRINT the &HOLD& file text to winteg, and then turn off capture. (I already do a similar process for normally printed laserjet reports to eliminate the leading form feed on all of our print jobs which saves a ton of blank page paper.) I was just hoping there was some undocumented "ASSIGN 1 TO SYSTEM(magic number)" thing that fixed this. Or any other ideas that would work??

[U2] [UV] Term settings for capture and no extra headings
On Universe 10.0.19: I want to capture a report sent to the emulator (wintegrate) and still retain the first page headings, but not get a repeating heading every 60 lines or so. On pick D3, it was possible to get this behavior by setting the page depth to 0. On universe, it wants an integer from 1 to 32767 so I end up with page breaks and a new heading every 32k lines (which is currently the lesser of the 2 evils). Is there a setting on universe that will accomplish what I need? Thanks! --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] wIntegrate keep-alives - we need this feature
We are using CISCO's VPN software. With email running, it works fine since email is always creating traffic with the exchange server and/or pop email boxes. But if you're only running winteg (we have the 3.x version) it eventually times out the user. I checked the help with the latest version I have and still did not see the option like accuterm provides (which is MY personal work-around), but the users all use winteg only for telnet. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adrian Matthews Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 11:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] wIntegrate keep-alives - we need this feature We use it over a VPN without problems.

[U2] [UV] SOX - TCL command logging / auditing
Does anyone know if there is a built in facility within universe for logging TCL commands by account or even globally? Something similar perhaps as the 'errlog' feature. Of concern by an internal SOX (sarbanes-oxley) audit was that its possible for data to be changed outside of the application. Specifically, "direct access to data could remain undetected resulting in unauthorized changes to financial data, affecting data integrity".

[OT] Re: [U2] Dialers with Universe
And the longer you tie them up when they do start talking, the less
valuable they'll find this annoying technology.
One of the funniest stories I heard (from a frind that's on this list)
is about receiving 2 sales calls on 2 lines around the same time. He
connected the 2nd telemarketer to the first caller that he previously
placed on hold and then said, "ok, I'm back, go ahead".
He said the next several minutes was about the funniest conversation he
heard in a long time while the two callers both tried to sell the other
something at the same time!

Oh; and here's something I did learn, for what it's worth. The PD
"listens"
for a human voice, If it hears a short burst ("Hello?") followed by
silence, it connects you to an available operator. If it hears a longer
burst, indicating a voice mail greeting (This is Dick Cheney. I'm not
here to take your call..."), it hangs up. So, if you answer your phone
with a sentence longer than, say, 3 seconds, you'll get hung up on.
Probably better to be on "Do Not Call", but a handy trick to know, I've
found.

RE: [U2] SPACE character ignored
What is really scary is:
PRINT NUM(" 1")
PRINT NUM("1 ")
Both yield 1 (true).
This has resulted in MANY downstream data issues where input validation worked (using
the NUM function) yet further down the road, printing out order qtys using masking or
doing a locate statement of "1" in " 1" does not work.
This is in my opinion, a really BAD idea.
I had to rewrite several sections of a 4GL to accomodate these differences when
porting some code to universe recently.
I would hope in a future release this could be an option to return to better
compatibility and predictability.
