Uniface Forum Announcements

Hi everyone!

I wanted to give you a heads-up about some small updates I’m making to the Community Home layout. Don’t worry—everything you’re familiar with, like the Discussions, Announcements, and Useful Resources drop-down, will still be here. The layout will just have a refreshed look to make things a little easier to navigate.

Why the change?
The goal is to make this space feel more organized and welcoming while keeping all the features you know and love.

If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to hear from you.

Thanks for being such a valuable part of this community!

Thank you to all who joined us last week for the “What’s New in Uniface 10.4.03” webinar sessions. And for those who could not make it, we hope to see you next time.

The webinar recording and slide deck are now available below. 

• Recording
• Slides

If you did not complete the “Uniface Education Preferences” survey after the webinar (or didn’t attend the webinar), please take a minute to answer 4 short questions, which will help us design and plan future webinars and education opportunities:

• Education Preferences Survey

In addition, here’s quick access to the resources discussed in the webinar:

• Uniface eLearning
• The Forum
• Free Uniface Community Edition Download (please note: you must use a business email to download)

Please contact me or your Uniface Account Executive if you have any questions. 

Customers running one of these Platforms (WS2008 and WS2012) will NOT be able to download the License file from our EMS system automatically. The Cloud Plugin (SCP) will work, but does NOT download anything. 

The SCP.log file will state communication error: [D]Error in communication: 12175

This because the Security on the EMS system, that supplies the license file,  does NOT allow this communication to happen anymore.

Initially, this change happened on April 1, 2024 and will lead to customers to have a License Expiration date of May 12, 2024.

On our request,  we have installed a Temporary file on the EMS that will allow communication again UNTIL the end of July 2024.

Meaning that Customers will be able to download through the SCP until end of July and will get their last downloaded license to expire at the end of August 2024.

Customers will need to UPGRADE their Operating System to Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022 or use a supported Linux / Unix version for their RMS service.

Rocket Uniface is pleased to announce the release of Uniface Anywhere Version 6.2.5.33040.

Uniface Anywhere 6 provides new features and enhancements that improve both system administration and end-user experience.

Please see the new blog in the list below or click on this link:

Uniface 10.4 documentation library updates

Starting with patch level 10.4.02.012, there is a change in the Uniface policy regarding TLS levels that are used.

Read all about it in this blog post:

Rocket Uniface upgrades secure TLS connections to a minimum of TLS v1.2 (rocketsoftware.com)

Uniface Anywhere 6.2.2.32331 is available for download from Downloads (rocketsoftware.com)

New functionality and fixes are done in this new release.
Please see the downloadable release notes.

Note: 
Uniface Anywhere 6.2 cannot be used with a version 6.0 or version 6.1 license. If you are upgrading to Uniface Anywhere 6.2 from an earlier version, you will need a new, version 6.2 license file.

The issue applies to the following host operating systems running Uniface Anywhere version 6:

• Windows Server 2022 Standard/Datacenter
• Windows Server 2019 Standard/Datacenter
• Windows 10 x64 Pro/Ent 20H2/21H1/21H2
• Windows 11 x64 Pro/Ent 

Symptom:

When Windows Updates released on July 17th are applied:
 Uniface Anywhere Application Publishing Service will start, but connections will not be accepted.

Message: “Failed to start session.”

Resolve actions:

•    Enable the Windows Compatibility Assurance by selecting to install the Uniface Anywhere 6.0.5 version within the Admin Console, Host options, Updates.
• Download and install the Uniface Anywhere 6.0.5 version from: Downloads - Rocket Community (rocketsoftware.com) Select in the left column: Uniface and find in the right column: “UNI-30634            Uniface Anywhere 6.0.5”

Notes

• Uniface Anywhere applications and components are signed with the Certificates issued by Rocket Software Inc.
• Critical updates supplied under Windows Compatibility Assurance can contain files with code signing Certificates issued by GraphOn Corporation. This is intentional and by design to be able to deliver patches with the lowest risk of downtime of the Host that requires the update.

 

 

During the past few months, we have been working hard to bring further product enhancements and features. We believe that 10.4.02 will boost development performance and application stability, increase deployment options and help you enjoy your experience with Uniface even more.

What does 10.4.02 offer?

Uniface 10.4.02 significantly enhances both the development and deployment of Uniface applications.

• Development
  • Error-free coding: Exceptions (E-Learning module: How to use Exceptions in ProcScript (uniface.com))
  • Centralise web processing (e.g., authentication) and gain complete control of requests/responses: Open-sourced USYSHTTP component
  • Simplified struct handling: USTRUCT: helper library.
  • Secure code: no-debug for global procs
  • Increased maximum component size: Component literal pool size increase
• Deployment
  • Containerized deployment: Prebuilt Docker images*
  • No infrastructure concurrent licensing: Sentinel CloudLM

* Available in the coming days

Please refer to the Uniface documentation for more information on each feature.

You can download Uniface directly from the Rocket Community Portal.

Happy development!

Best,

Michael Taylor
