[U2] New XLr8 Tools release 4.0.22 [ad]
Since our last announcement which was several months ago, we at U2logic have been busy updating our XLr8 Tools. We have just added UV command to the Control-Space option. That means those of us that don't know the syntax of a command can find while in Eclipse and do not have to consult the documentation. VPN's we giving us a lot grief. We have worked out those pesky network interfaces while our users are using XLr8 tools in a VPN environment. XLr8 Tools work with Unidata and Universe databases only running in the Eclipse IDE. Check out our web site for more information at www.u2logic.com. v4.0.22 - May 20, 2014 Add UV documentation commands to Control-Space option. v4.0.21 - May 9, 2014 Bugzilla [659] - XLr8Editor Label Sorting by Placement v4.0.20 - April 12, 2014 Change licensing use java libs instead of the OS calls. Added code to look at at network interfaces especially when using a VPN. v4.0.19 - April 05, 2014 XLr8Resizer had a divide by zero error on the custom calculation option. Bugzilla [654] - XLr8Editor hangs on looking up key words Bugzilla [655] - XLr8Dictionary editor does not allow editing of non-dictionary data Bugzilla [657] - XLr8Editor generates a JNP error for unknown reason v4.0.18 - March 24, 2014 XLr8Resizer had un-initialized variable on Unidata when gathering statistics on the custom option v4.0.17 - March 12, 2014 Revert code from bug fix 648 Cleaned up opens in U2Core java code. v4.0.15 - March 11, 2014 Bugzilla [648] - XLr8Editor fails to compile after using the XLr8Installer Bugzilla [649] - XLr8Editor UniBasic indexer sometimes errors out.

Re: [U2] Rgarding ED editor
If you are trying to use ED or AE in Universe or Unidata these are line by line editors. If someone is new to U2 then this is a bad move to try and teach them something so archaic. Move into the modern ages using Eclipse IDE from either Rocket Software or U2logic. Rocket Software offering is called BDT. U2logic's offering is called XLr8Editor. The both have many more positives than negatives. If you have used something like Visual Studio or similar tools then your learning curve will be quite small.

Re: [U2] Rgarding ED editor
I've been doing Eclipse IDE a lot longer than everybody else. I'm not bragging here: U2logic was the first with an editor that ran within Eclipse IDE for Universe and Unidata in 2004. I would have to save that I have updated many VOC items from XLr8Editor Eclipse. But that is not really point I have made in all of these years trying to explain this technology. If the U2 database environment is to survive and grow, all of us programmers have to look like other programmers in the world. Very few of us should be using line by line editors for any reason. I firmly believe that the ED/AE should be removed from the database not because the tools are not useful, but because it detracts from what can be accomplished within the U2 environment. When I'm at a client, or doing a web demo, I have Eclipse running with code showing to showcase that U2 is not a legacy technology. When I'm coding and somebody who does not know U2 they can see these to name few things: 1. the code compiling on the spot 2. built-in version control 3. copy and paste capability 4. dictionary editing in a grid 5. an outline with all the variables and their respective line numbers 6. code completion on my code variables 7. a local search engine to look for U2 variables or subroutines 8. a local search for just strings using regular expressions 9. The ability to have multiple sessions open and manage those sessions 10. The ability to sync your local storage with the database with a single click Those people have a better feeling about the technology they purchase then seeing some typing OOPS or C/oldvariable/newvarable/g.

Yes, once you get used to a GUI editor, ED/AE can be tough, but it has it's merits too. One, it's quick - it's ALWAYS available.

[U2] XLr8 New Release 4.0.14 [ad]
U2logic's announces the new release of XLr8 Tools for Universe and Unidata version 4.0.14. In keeping with our normal release strategy, we have combined our announcement into a single one each month. Only XLr8 tools continually updates it products several times a month in our U2 world. U2logic's is an application creator so we use our tool on average about 8 hours a day so we really do know what the tool need to do and how the perform. Try it yourself, we do have trial licenses. Here is our change log: v4.0.14 - March 6, 2014 Bugzilla [647] - Project Explorer display is not correct for LD and LF files on dictionaries Bugzilla [646] - XLr8Editor does allow direct access from version control (SVN) v4.0.12 - March 5, 2014 Bugzilla [641] - XLr8Licenser error on startup Regards, Doug www.u2logic.com XLr8 Tools for Universe and Unidata ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Multi-threaded phantom processing
Instead of phantoms we us a different approach. Our middle-ware built on Apache Tomcat and UniObjects for Java replicates data from Universe to Universe or Unidata to Unidata. Using the built in routines in UOJ we are able to handle over 10,000 to 20,000 transactions per day. This technology uses a DataSet or a select list of data from a single file in a single operation. Then you write the DataSet to the other machine. Regards, Doug On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 5:34 AM, David A.

[U2] Unidata Index Failure
We have be experiencing a Unidata index failure above 7.3.2 on Windows 2008/2012. When we go back to 7.3.2 the problem goes away. The problem is sometimes the index does not get built for certain items. If we save the records or rebuild the index it goes away for a few days to a weeks until one or two items show up not in the index. Our customers report a software failure which takes us hours determine that no application software is the cause and we rebuild the indexes on the file in question. We have been working with Rocket Software for about 6 months on this problem. Rocket is reporting to me that no one has reported this issue to them. We thought we ask anyone on the list if they have seen any problem that is similar where they have solved the problem by rebuilding the indexes.

BFIND are your really serious. Is this one of those, we must us only use UniBasic code? Because if it is, we U2 programmers are really dinosaurs not knowing the comet already has changed the world. We have been using Eclipse since 2004. The search engine is so fast and will search my local machine, not the database, in seconds. The Eclipse search engine shows not only the program but the entire line that matches. You can click on the line in the search window and the editor start up and loads the program focusing on the line in question.

After UniData 5.2 UniQuery will use as many indices as it can. In your case it is the equivalent of doing two UniQuery selects to two different lists and then doing a MERGE.LIST. If you are always wanting a combined index lookup on those two values you can create an I-Descriptor that combines them and index the I-Descriptor. Then use the I-Descriptor in your select statements. Remember using an Index doesn't always mean faster selects. If your index brings back a lot of records then you are processing them by index pointer and the disk reads will be all over the file.

Re: [U2] Unidata index/query ?
In Unidata indexes DO mean faster selects. I have file with millions of records with about 14 indexes and most every select on the index comes back in under a second. Our disks are 90,000 IO's per second with a 16GB main memory, without indexes to select and read through that data takes 5 to 10 minutes minimum. I have an open ticket with Rocket Software about indexes failing after 7.3.2. I had a similar problem and reduced my version from 7.3.4 to 7.3.2.

After UniData 5.2 UniQuery will use as many indices as it can. In your case it is the equivalent of doing two UniQuery selects to two different lists and then doing a MERGE.LIST. If you are always wanting a combined index lookup on those two values you can create an I-Descriptor that combines them and index the I-Descriptor. Then use the I-Descriptor in your select statements. Remember using an Index doesn't always mean faster selects.

[U2] XLr8Editor Release 4.0.3 [ad]
Our current release is 4.0.3. By the way this software has some code for Universe 11.2 new UniBasic features. This release is significant in that we have changed the licensing scheme to a single entry from for all keys. If you upgrade you will need a new license key. When you upgrade send us your new installation id and we will send you a new key as quick as we can. We always felt the the Eclipse search engine was not adequate for UniBasic. We have create our own search tab for UniBasic and dictionaries. You can search for functions, external subroutines, internal subroutines, and variables. This search engine uses our UniBasic indexer information that is captured when you start up Eclipse the routine is very fast. Here is our change log: v4.0.3 - December 02, 2013 Updated XLr8 item list spinner from 1000 to 5000. Bugzilla [429] - XLr8 Search Option for UniBasic code - part 1. v4.0.2 - November 24, 2013 Updated documentation Bugzilla [622] - XLr8Object Editor translator kicks off a message occasionally v4.0.1 - November 16, 2013 Bugzilla [606] - XLr8Licenser old licensing code needs to be removed Bugzilla [426] - XLr8Object Editor will be multi-language is completed v3.10.3 - November 14, 2013 Bugzilla [426] - XLr8Object Editor will be multi-language part 2.

[U2] U2logic updates its XLr8 Tools for Universe and Unidata [ad]
It been a while since we have posted our updates because we thought we were a little too verbose. But we are back again after two months. We have been very busy as always at U2logic improving our XLr8 products. We have had about 15 updates in that time. Compare this with any other U2 products out in the wild web and you will find we are the leader in continuous improvement. For example, our XLr8 Commander allows us to not have telnet window open to do LIST/SELECT commands. We can create a stack save locally on our workstation and call it up hours or days later to do the same thing. Almost any command or program can be run from our commander making it an invaluable tool for any Universe or Unidata programmer while they are using any of our tools. Here is our change log for the past three months. v3.10.3 - November 14, 2013 Bugzilla [426] - XLr8Object Editor will be multi-language part 2. v3.10.2 - November 7, 2013 Added missing preference for XLr8Object Editor Changed wording on XLr8Commander and removed unused icons. v3.10.1 - November 6, 2013 Bugzilla [549] - XLr8Object Editor will not come up from the Eclipse search function Bugzilla [426] - XLr8Object Editor will be multi-language part 1. v3.10.0 - October 31, 2013 Added preference for U2 commands to timeout more than standard for UOJ. Updated combined licensing routine Updated XLr8Commander menu items v3.9.20 - v3.9.14 - October 22, 2013 XLr8Resizer removed more integer math and replaced them with long math. Bugzilla [603] - XLr8Resizer does not gather statistics occasionally Bugzilla [604] - XLr8Resizer has a divide by zero error. Bugzilla [167] - XLr8Licenser needs the ability to license with a master key Bugzilla [602] - XLr8Resizer was skipping large files on Universe XLr8Resizer increased timeout to 9 hours v3.9.13 - October 10, 2013 Bugzilla [547] - XLr8 Command Interpreter needed more tuning before release.

Re: [U2] [OT] Interview Questions
Tony, I agree with everything you said except one thing . And I'm going to alienate about 70% of our colleagues here, but I think a modern interview needs to favor those who have current knowledge of a variety of technologies. A BASIC-only developer isn't going to cut it anymore and people who are BASIC-only are holding onto their jobs because they know their current applications, not for their technical skills . I think you have it wrong and that 70% agree with you and 30% will disagree, I don't want to get to far off topic on this off topic topic, but most if not all know that just being a pick basic developer doesn't cut it anymore, pick talks to all kinds of modern technologies and the green screen apps are going the way of the dinosaurs, so one would have to have their head in the sand to not see that you need more skills than just knowing pick basic and how to create dictionaries and write prok's, having said that your post was well said as usual dougc ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

( byte[] myBinary = myUnistring.toString().getBytes() ).. UOJ, in its wisdom, does not expose the raw byte array that it gets from the back end before it converts it to Java characters in a UniString, hence the code above. This might even work if you use the UniSequentialFile readBlk() function. Technically, it might be better to specify the character encoding, as in byte[] myBinary = myUnistring.toString().getBytes(ISO-8859_1), but this assumes that one are sure of what UOJ used to convert the bytes received from the server to characters, and that the conversion is 100% reversible. It is unclear that UOJ even defines an encoding, and if Localization is in use, UniStrings may not reverse to an equal byte array. Because of that uncertainty, it would be best to call a subroutine on the UDT server that did a block read of the file, a base64 encoding of it using ENCODE(...), and then, after passing it back to UOJ, use sun.misc.BASE64Decoder to convert the UniString return argument back to a byte[]. (After, of course, you convert the UniString to a String.) -- For a total of 4 conversions per source byte. Several years ago, I pointed out to Rocket (IBM?, Ardent?) that it might be more appropriate for the UniSequentialFile readBlk method to return a byte[] rather than a UniString. Obviously, it was too late for that, but it does not appear that U2 has added a readBytes() method, which is no surprise, as I recollect the conversation. (Obviously, there needs to be a writeBlk( byte[] ) or writeBytes( byte[] ) method too.)

Since this summer we have been releasing a lot features with our XLr8 product at a rapid pace, it was decided to not announce everyone. We are combining the last three releases into this announcement. Below is a summation of a couple of these amazing features we have added to our products. 1) XLr8Synchronizer allows your local copy to in sync with the database copy. In a programming environment where you have multiple programmers making change to code whether or not you are using version control, you might want to know what go changed. With the XLr8Synchronizer, it will sync you programs files, procs, paragraphs, dictionaries, and even data. 2) Task tags are something that has been missing in UniBasic programming forever. You can now put in TODO's, FIXME's, or company specific tags into your code. XLr8Editor will read through your code and build what Eclipse calls a marker view of them. In a single view you can see what programs tasks are still open or require changes. This something Java programmers have had for years. No other UniBasic editor can do this. Here is our change log: v3.9.3 - August 20, 2013 Bugzilla [584] - XLr8Synchronizer tries to sync object code Bugzilla [319] - XLr8Editor needs the Task Tags option like java editor supports Bugzilla [587] - XLr8Editor basic code indexer freezes the UI XLr8Synchronizer allows for color coding the tags XLr8Editor indexer now starts in a second or so instead of 3 minutes. v3.9.2 - August 16, 2013 Added new quartz library for Job processing Updated documentation for tasks tags Bugzilla [319] - XLr8Editor supports tasks tags like Java and other languages. v3.9.1 - August 08, 2013 Remove console message on copy DB to local Bugzilla [570] - XLr8Installer delete key is not working Bugzilla [296] - XLr8Synchronizer is completed Regards, Doug www.u2logic.com ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] I am looking for a CRM package on multi-value
The reason U2 is such a small player in the database market is, in my opinion, we are a VAR driven market. The VAR's can only sell so much.

Re: [U2] XAdmin wiki?
Hi: The problem is not whether you need a wiki or not. The problem is the documentation is terrible and in most cases non-existent. A year ago at U2 University a majority of us discussed this with the board of Rocket U2. The agreed with us they would fix this and show some examples as well. Well, here we are a year and many months later with the same problem. New users and non-eclipse users cannot figure out how this tool works. Since U2logic is a U2 VAR, U2logic does get paid to tell our clients how to use this tool and the others. However, since the tools are given away by Rocket there is little money in the pot for any meaningful help.

[U2] U2logic's announces a synchronization engine for it XLr8 tools [ad]
We are announcing our new synchronization engine built into our XLr8 products. U2logic has put out over 30 releases this year with 15 more scheduled. Our current version of our tools is 3.9.0. Why the need to Sync, you are probably asking yourself? XLr8Editor is based on the Eclipse framework which means all of your editing is done locally and saved in your workspace. XLr8Editor allows off-line editing of your basic code so sometimes you want to know if the code you have been working on differs from the database version. The XLr8 Synchronization engine will tell whether your source code has been changed either locally or from the U2 database. We have some batch routines that updates all of our HTML in Universe. If another programmer runs the batch job our XLr8 Synchronizer will tell you to update your local source code via our XLr8 Synchronization engine. This will save us hours on updating our source code manually for our version control system that is built into all of our XLr8 products like XLr8Editor, XLr8Dictionary Editor, XLr8Resizer, XLr8Installer, XLr8Developer, and XLr8Object Editor.

Re: [U2] revision control with git/github
Hi Aaron: [ad] We have tested our XLr8Editor with an Eclipse plug-in for github. This means you do not have to have procs, paragraphs, or others in directory files since everything in Eclipse is loaded locally. One of our clients is a SB/XA house using XLr8Editor with Team Foundation. By the way dictionaries can be source code controlled as well. This means any version control such as SVN, Team Foundation, github or Perforce can be used in the Unidata or Universe database. All of this power can be had for $79.00 per year per workstation. We update our product at least every two or three weeks with new features and bug fixes.

Hi Brian: Built into BDT from Rocket Software is a re-factor option.

To use that tool, he would have to be on the same subnet/network as the

desktop/vnc/etc into a system they have over there that had the admin tool
installed).
Having said that I think that's a great idea, the customer could setup a
windows system with the admin tool installed and logmein/gotomypc/etc
(which would NOT require vpn access) so that he could access the system
remotely and run uniadmin

Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1.13/AIX 5.3 Stops Unexpectedly
Your right that if the server have an external IP then certainly you could
access it but I doubt many companies actually do that (put an external IP on
an internal sever but it can certainly be done).
Then there is always firewall port forwarding that could allow an internal
server to be accessed externally, but in all these cases you need a good
system/network admin to ensure its setup and secure.
Anyway we are getting off topic, so if we want to continue this discussion
we should probably move it to its own thread.
But good points

Hi Doug,
We use UniVerse instead of UniData, but I understand the tools are the same.
You do not need to be on the same subnet or network, but you do need access
to the subnet/network for the RPC port. I have successfully connected to
external servers without a problem, you may need to use an IP address rather
than the host name but that depends on how you have things configured.
I would strongly recommend that you use a VPN or a gateway to access your
server, this keeps your sever and network secure. I think using VPN is
easier to use with the admin tools than setting up a gateway.

To use that tool, he would have to be on the same subnet/network as the
server (i.e. he would have to vpn into their system, or remote
desktop/vnc/etc into a system they have over there that had the admin tool
installed).
Having said that I think that's a great idea, the customer could setup a
windows system with the admin tool installed and logmein/gotomypc/etc
(which would NOT require vpn access) so that he could access the system
remotely and run uniadmin

Usually we can still telnet into AIX. That's how I'm running the

everyone for that input; that should be very valuable.
I still wish there was some way we could do a LIST.READU from AIX

We are especially proud of the fact we have updated the code completion to show what are variables, reserved words, and labels. This is very helpful when determining which one you want to use. Here is our change log: v3.5.18 and 3.5.19 - January 4, 2013 Bugzilla [Bug 396] - XLr8Editor Code Completion update part one is done. v3.5.17 - December 20, 2012 XLr8Installer removed Unidata catalog message since Unidata does not send one.

Re: [U2] Sleeping in Basic
Just a point of reference, Unidata at version 7.3.2 supports milliseconds
for those of you who need it:
Issue UDT-4104 - Problem Description
UniBasic -- At this release of UniData, the ICONV and OCONV functions
have been enhanced to include milliseconds. A new conversion code of 'MM'
(Masked Milliseconds) has been added.
The internal data storage format is the number of milliseconds since
midnight.
The syntax for the ICONV Milliseconds (MM) function is:
ICONV(num.expr, MM [H] [S[M]])

I guess I am confused on the definition of quantized. NAP 250 seems to
do what
I want. Doing a LOOP 1000 and NAP 1 inside the loop, makes it takes quite
a few
seconds, where I would assume it would be 1 second (1000 x 1 millisecond -
1
second). However, loop 20 with NAP 250 in the loop takes 5 seconds, which
is
what I would expect (20 x 250 milliseconds = 5 seconds).
Also, the OCONV documentation only shows OCONV(num.expr,MT[H][S][c]) as a
syntax. No option for displaying milliseconds. The only why I know to do
that is
to use SYSTEM(12).
I guess I was just using TIME() not SYSTEM(12) as it was easier to visually
scan.

Without MTS you can see the microseconds.

Re: [U2] Sleeping in Basic
I guess I am confused on the definition of quantized. NAP 250 seems to do
what I want. Doing a LOOP 1000 and NAP 1 inside the loop, makes it takes quite
a few seconds, where I would assume it would be 1 second (1000 x 1 millisecond
- 1 second). However, loop 20 with NAP 250 in the loop takes 5 seconds, which
is what I would expect (20 x 250 milliseconds = 5 seconds).
Also, the OCONV documentation only shows OCONV(num.expr,MT[H][S][c]) as a
syntax. No option for displaying milliseconds. The only why I know to do that
is to use SYSTEM(12).
I guess I was just using TIME() not SYSTEM(12) as it was easier to visually
scan.

Your napping for a quarter of a second is too long :) I was saying that NAP is
quantized. You can't actually NAP for a microsecond.
So loop 1000 and NAP 1
By the way you can return the microseconds, why are you doing MTS
I never bothered to dig into it, to see on what it's quantized.
Without MTS you can see the microseconds.

Subject: Re: [U2] Sleeping in Basic
Wow, thanks of all of the responses. Unfortunately, none of them will seem to
work on UniData. I will be using NAP on UniVerse.
PAUSE and WAKE, I had not heard of. This is only on UniData so not a UniVerse
option. It would seem to be a good way to go, except for if the phantom process
aborts, the WAKE is never executed and the invoking process (UniObjects
subroutine) hangs forever.
David's openSocket suggestion does not wait at all if the socket can be opened.
If it cannot (for example host name is bad), the timeout is sometimes much
longer, probably due to DNS lookup of the bad host name.
I tried these examples in the code below. The results are show below the code.
When I run this, using NAP 250, I get 4 times the same, then another 4 times
the same etc. This seems to show NAP 250 does sleep for a quarter of a second.
Doing NAP 1 for 2000 iterations took 31 seconds. Probably due to overhead of
setting up NAP 2000 times.
The openSocket came right back all the time.
Any other ideas, I am open to testing.
Again, thanks for all of the responses!

[U2] Sleeping in Basic
Happy holidays all, I just want to make sure I did not miss something over the U2 releases. Since the Microdata Reality days, I have used SLEEP nn to sleep for nn seconds. Simple, usually does the trick. But in today's gotta have it now, I won't wait, environment, a second is sometimes way too long. Is there anything I missed over the last few years to sleep for less than a second? I am executing a phantom command from a UniObjects subroutine call and waiting for it to finish. I am using a phantom, just in case the program aborts or hangs. I am not in control of what code is being run, it could try to read or write to an unopened file for example. If the program does hang, I get the dreaded Error 30102 message (not helpful at all). In most cases, the program reads the data it needs and finishes in less than a second. The UniObjects subroutine then writes a flag I can pick up to see that the data is ready to return to the UniObjects client. I don't want the subroutine constantly looping and reading for the flag. This would take a lot of the CPU cycles. But, I don't want to wait up to a second to see that the phantom has completed. Any ideas would be helpful. This needs to run on both UniData and UniVerse. Have a great New Year. One more year older for us experienced developers in the PICK community.

Re: [U2] converting D3 to UniData
Hi Danny: We have converted a lot of D3 users to to Unidata. The biggest part of the conversion is the dictionaries. Unidata uses the Prime standard dictionaries unlike Universe which can use both Prime and Pick standard. Unidata conversion utilities want to make all of the dictionaries multi-valued which complicates the virtual fields or the I-descriptors. The basic code converts fairly easily except for spooling. Unidata supports Windows spooling so you options of SP.ASSIGN are limited and you should convert the commands to SETPTR which allows you to control all aspects of the printing for laser printers. If you are converting to Unidata UNIX then all printing is pretty standard. If you are converting to Unidata Windows or Unidata UNIX, there are some special characters that the OS's do not like. We have found a lot of Id's that are problematic but not so in D3. You will have convert any special characters out of D3 before copying them over to Unidata.
