There are two sides to this: 1) Monitoring locks 2) Remote notifications As with any process where you have data generation and an interface with data consumers, separate the components and the task gets much easier. Nick provided info about how to generate the data so I'll comment on notificatio

I'm not involved with the end-user's site admin, just working with them to try to figure out why UO.NET wasn't working. However, since we're on the topic... Try this in a scratch account: 1) DELETE.FILE VOCLIB 2) CREATE.FILE VOCLIB Set dict and data as Type 1. 3) At the file system level, move t

Thanks Wol - I've been informed that the issue was due to someone moving directories for easier housekeeping. For some reason D_VOCLIB and VOCLIB (data dir) physically need to be under the root path of the account. It's not enough that the pointers point to the right location. That precludes cer

We've been using the full path, not relying on the link from UV.ACCOUNTS. Nice try, thanks bud. Now that you mention it though, I do want to verify that the casing of the path name is all UC. Telnet may forgive mixed casing where UO may not... Hopefully IBM Support will have a solution soon. T

Kevin, for free and from IBM, why not UOJ? If you're using a typical shared host you may be able to use web services from PHP to a middle-tier server and use that to get into U2. The MySQL server and HTTP servers are usually separated at LAMP sites anyway. Doing it this way, the middle-tier, con

Dave, if you suspect a server-side routine might fall to debug then I'd recommend putting server access into a separate client-side thread. That doesn't stop the aborts, but it does prevent such things from affecting the end-user's session. Having a lot of experience with the visually-impaired (an
