Re: [U2] PDF Files directly from UniData or UniVerse
My customers use UNFORM from Synergetic - provides a rule based system for producing, delivering, archiving documents in PCL, PDF, Postscript formats. It's client-server, with clients and servers for Windows, Linux and UNIX (we use on AIX and Centos).Very easy to integrate into spooler or UniVerse programs/paragraphs, mail, fax, print processes etc. Ian Stuart On 4/12/2011 7:53 PM, Bob Rasmussen wrote: On Tue, 12 Apr 2011, Doug Farmer wrote: Here is a question for this group.

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] Socket API problem
Hi, Have you considered the use of pipes for inter-process communication. Also, on UNIX/Linux, semaphores provide a powerful way to synchronise/trigger processes. It's also possible to use an http server like Apache to achieve very similar functionality as one would with sockets, i.e if you have control over the application that is establishing a connection to a socket, modify it to communicate via http and tools like FastCGI to maintain persistent processes. If you'd like to discuss this off-line please feel free to email me directly Regards Ian Stuart Nick Cipollina wrote: Hello All, We are currently stuck at version 10.1 of Universe because IBM has changed what causes a UV license to be consumed. In versions 10.1 on older versions, phantom processes do not require a separate universe license. As of version 10.2, this is no longer the case. Phantom processes will require a user license in order to run. This is a problem for us, because we currently run thousands of phantom processes to process transactions, real-time. Now you may say, well it is only fair that you should have to pay for each of these processes because they are essentially the same thing as a user session. We are interacting with the data through these phantoms. The reason we have to run so many processes is because of how Universe has implemented the socket API. Here is how I'm hoping someone on the list might be able to help me, or correct me on my understanding of how the socket API works. If my understanding is correct, the universe socket API does not allow the listener to pass of the socket connection to another process for processing and response. The process that is listening on a port and accepts the connection, is also the process that must answer. This is not typically how a socket service works. Typically, you have a process listening on a port, and when you receive a connection, the connection is passed off to another process for processing and response. So, unless my understanding of how this works is incorrect, we have to run so many phantoms because the Universe socket API is not set up to handle multiple connections on a single port. We actually have an F5 load balancer that accepts the connections on a single port and passes it off to one of the many phantoms that is listening on a unique port. I have two questions: 1. Is there anyone out there that is in the same boat we are? Is anyone else stuck on version 10.1 or older because they cannot afford to upgrade to 10.2 because of the licensing requirements? 2. Is my understanding of how the universe socket API works correct? If so, has anyone come up with a way around this limitation? Keep in mind, we currently process 95% of our transactions in 1/10th of a second.

Re: [U2] Dynamic Connect 6.0.1 lockdown changes by IBM
In response to a query regarding Dynamic Connect 5.2 in October 2003 IBM replied that " Dynamic Connect (DC) was added to the U2 product suite to provide simple terminal emulation functionality equivalent to the UVTerm tool that had historically been available for UniVerse". Well, one of the "simple" things supported by UVTERM was the AREV screen handler which is also built into Dynamic Connect via extensions. Many other terminal emulations and extensions eg for System Builder not supported by UVTERM have been supplied as a part of Dynamic Connect with the associated scripts supplied in source form ie not compiled into .wix files. As any user of Dynamic Connect will know, UVTERM is a poor comparison, and to date, Dynamic Connect has been a great replacement emulator giving users much needed additional functionality. Being able to customise the supplied emulations has been one of the really powerful features and customising the supplied scripts has been invaluable in providing needed functionality. For IBM to state that Dynamic Connect is a "simple terminal emulator" is to try to deflect the argument that once features have been made available - and documented - it's not OK for the vendor to remove them without notice or warning. Further to this IBM stated in their reply that scripting had been documented in the Dynamic Connect manuals "in error". Hard lines for those users and developers, like yourself Alan, who never received this little tidbit of information from IBM that you were at risk of not being able to fully utilise later versions of Dynamic Connect even though your documentation said you could. Oh yes, we were offered Wintegrate at a "reasonable price" because of this "error". This clearly indicated to me that IBM were manouvering a situation where users, who had exploited the documented feature of being able to script Dynamic Connect, would at a later date be pressured to move to Wintegrate. The other bit of arrogance was that as Dynamic Connect was "freely distibuted" IBM could take away features as they saw fit. The expression "The lord gives and the lord takes away" comes to mind There are situations where UVTERM functionality can only be practiaclly supported through some form of scripting. For example, the only practical way to support the UVTERM "pop-up" menus, which users came to rely on in UVTERM, is to write an extension to detect mouse events and load up a menu, supporting an image viewer is only practically supported via scripting, turning off CTRL-E you need to modify vt100.wis, turning off the BEL etc. etc. I do not recall though ever seeing a statement to the general U2 community that removing features and "locking down" Dynamic Connect to the extent that you have experienced was going to be IBM's stance. Rather than being an ommission, IBM have actually seen fit to deliberately spend time and money to remove a feature previously provided, even if not supported, and have done so in a really clandestine and disruptive manner with little thought as to the impact on the user base who provide IBM with a regular and profitable revenue stream.

Re: [U2] RE: [UV] is there an equivalent to the UD ALL UniQuery keyword?
Create an @ phrase in the DICT of the file with all the field name. This will also honour any associations. You could also create an @ALL phrase if you already have an @ phrase in the DICT LIST filename @ALL ED DICT CM @ 0001= PH 0002 = COMPANY ADD1 ADD2 ADD3 PCODE PROV ORDER.DATES ORDER.VALUES Alternatively, if no @ phrase exists in the DICT, type REVISE filename and an @ phrase with the first 50 fields will be automatically created in the DICT - at least it does that in INFORMATION and PI/OPEN flavours.

Re: [U2] JDBC and OpenOffice on Linux
Hi, thanks for that encouragement - Better&Better will probably be the place to pursue the IBM angle. However Openoffice.org have also proven that they are willing and able to modify OOo specifically for U2 if there are enough requests from users for similar features/fixes - they have already done so in the past. So, the request is still for the U2 community to take 10 minutes each (in total that adds up to a lot of hours) and vote on the Openoffice.org issue. There are many opportunities to take advantage of OOo, not just as an office suite but as an integrated part of U2 applications, especially if you are looking for similar MSOffice functionality/API on Linux/UNIX. Thanks to those who have already voted. Apart from my own vote 5 other U2 users have used 2 of their votes on this issue.

[U2] JDBC and OpenOffice on Linux
Hello to all U2 I am still persevering with getting OpenOffice to work with UniVerse and have had some success with the JDBC driver on MS Windows platform connecting to UniVerse - this with tremendous support from Frank Schonheit of Sun and OpenOffice.org. So now one can connect to, with a little difficulty, and query, with a few issues still to be resolved, a UniVerse database from within OpenOffice. Hopefully IBM, will some day take a serious look at this project and contribute something to making UniVerse cooperate with OpenOffice.org using ODBC/JDBC. The problem now encountered is that connecting from OpenOffice.org using JDBC running on a Linux platform presents the same problem as experienced previously on MS Windows - now fixed - (whereas it did work before at some point in the Beta releases) i.e the JDBC driver loads successfully, and a connection to the database is established; but no tables are "visible" and a native SQL query results in a "ResultSet Type 1,005 is not supported" - a message that one used to encounter on MS Windows platforms before the problem was "fixed" An issue has been reported on the OpenOffice.org Bugzilla system. But to try and give some impetus to resolving this issue I am "soliciting" the support of this forum to vote on this issue on the OpenOffice.org site as well as to prevail on IBM to cooperate with OpenOffice.org to resolve the issues with JDBC/ODBC and OpenOffice. If you feel you can assist then please register as a user on www.openoffice.org and vote on issue 58313 - it'll only take about 5 minutes to do so. However, there are still a number of issues to be resolved, including being able to update tables via JDBC ie. although one can create UniVerse tables from within OOo you cannot insert, update or delete; there is a date format problem - see issue 49043, table names have to be "aliased" in the VOC etc. etc. Here's looking forward to your support Thanks and regards Ian Stuart ___ DISCLAIMER ___ This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.

Re: [U2] OpenOffice.org 1.9.100 and UniVerse JDBC
I have no doubt IBM are really committed to Open Source solutions and defiinitely did not imply that there was colusion between the Microsoft and IBM. It makes no sense to distance oneself from Microsoft. What I do believe is that as far as U2 development is concerned it has been expedient to ignore the fact that there are customers that require a completely non-MS solution from the server to the desktop, and that the level of implementation of JDBC ( and to lesser degree, ODBC ) has been at the minimum level required to be able to tick that check box that says JDBC yes/no. The standard response from IBM when asking for attention to some of the issues related to use tools like ODBC and JDBC has been to fob off the requirement by side stepping the issue and hiding behind the documentation instead of pro-actively assessing the requirement and the opportunities. Compare this to OOo response: After being elated about the success of the JDBC patch in OOo I found a problem updating tables via JDBC, so I posted an issue. Not 1 hour later I get a meaningful response along these lines: --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue May 10 23:39:29 -0700 2005 --- great to hear that it works for you >> Although I can create tables on the UniVerse server I can only get read-only >> access to the tables even though I set ALL PRIVILEGES for PUBLIC and log in >> as >> the SQL administrator. Any suggestions or should I raise a new issue ? > > Definately a new issue, please (http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/basic_rules.html#one_per_issue). However, IIRC, the JDBC driver only supports the READONLY concurrency (as opposed to UPDATABLE, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSet.html#CONCUR_READ_ONLY). OOo previously always tried UPDATABLE. Other drivers downgraded this automatically when necessary, however IBM's Universe driver just complained that it only supports READONLY. This is what the second setting in the macro cares for: it tells OOo to always respect what the driver supports, instead of trying the maximum. Thus, when the result set is not updatable with this setting being , it means that the driver claims to not support updatable result sets. So: feel free to submit an issue, so we can track it, but I strongly assume that it's a driver problem on IBM's side. This indicates that someone took the time to actually see what the UniVerse JDBC driver is doing and provides something for IBM to respond to. In none of the cases however where I have asked IBM to look at same/similar issues has there been this sort of explanation., the stock answer being "it is not supported - speak to your vendor". In other words, "idiot, did'nt you read the manual where it says we only support ..." . The 60's typical civil servant response comes to mind - "It's more than me jobs worth" OpenOffice.org is powerful software, and getting UniVerse to work with OOo complements both tools and opens up possibilities not afforded by MS Office eg unattended PDF conversions, mail merges etc on a centralised server and a host of other facilties, eg being able to start an X application on another users display.

[U2] OpenOffice.org 1.9.100 and UniVerse JDBC
For anybody who is interested OpenOffice.org have made changes to support some of the "anomolies" in the UniVerse JDBC driver. This now means that those users wanting to deploy Linux on the desktop either as a thin-client or full installation can use a very functional end-user database and Office Suite tool to retrieve data from a UniVerse database into OpenOffice.org reports, documents, spreadsheets, presentations and databases. You don't need Microsoft to be Microsoft compatible either. The "patch" is provided by OpenOffice.org via a macro that needs to be run after creating the data source. Unfortunately the User Interface for OpenOffice.org 2.0 has already been defined and this patch has to be run manually until it is built into the product. However it is very easy to implement. It's been really great working with the people at OpenOffice.org, many who appear to be employed by Sun Microsystems. They have off their own bat downloaded Personal editions of UniVerse and with a little help and persistent pleas for their support, have over the last year or so implemented a number changes to OpenOffice specifically to cater for UniVerse. I am amazed at the willingness of the OpenOffice people to respond to queries, suggestions and reports of issues relating to a database that is little known as far as they are concerned when I compare this to the inertia from IBM on this issue over the same period. Although OpenOffice might not suit everybody it is one of the largest and most successful Open Source projects to tackle Microsoft right where it hurts and one would have thought that IBM, as part of their stated strategy, would see the benefits of providing the SMB market with the tools to cut costs whilst deploying UniVerse for the core applications. After all, how much of Microsoft Office is actually used by the average user - OpenOffice 2.0 addresses issues of document portability and compatibility issues with Microsoft to a very large degree. Anyway, apart from some anomolies related to file names which can be catered for by either manully editing the SQL or by creating synonymns , the query and reporting tool works well on both Windows and Linux using JDBC. Unfortunately ODBC support for UniVerse has still to be resolved as OpenOffice.org has been built around ODBC 3.0 - perhaps an IBM engineer would make contact with the right people at OpenOffice - if they need the names/email addresses that can be arranged. If anybody wants to try this out and needs help, feel free to contact me Ian Stuart --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
