One of the software platforms in my organization is Uniface (version 10.3.02) and we've only used it for desktop applications. We use ColdFusion for web applications and Microsoft .NET (WPF) for all recent desktop applications.In a current effort underway in our shop, all platform administrators have been asked to consider what application security testing tool categories (SAST, DAST, IAST, RASP) would best meet the needs of a testing tool for their platform. My understanding is that some of these categories are only applicable to web applications. After a tool category (or categories) is/are determined, we will look at tools in those categories.My questions are:1) Are any application security testing categories/tools applicable, needed or useful (or can even be configured) in a Uniface desktop application environment?2) If so, what benefits or usefulness do they provide?3) Does anyone use application security testing tools with Uniface desktop applications? If so, what are you using?T

Can more recent tool updates be installed with gzip if the file has a suffix of .tar.bz2? I'm unable to access the webinar video that is supposed to explain using conda. (And I have registered in the Rocket community forum.) I'd like to be able to update the tools I have (curl, libssh, openssl and sudo) as I have done in the past with instructions in the readme. I don't know if that is still possible but it is preferable to me. If not, then it would be great if I had more clear instruction on the use of conda in USS.

for the I-Types, there is a command to run so a program can have access to the data as it's interpreted by the I-TYPE.  What I don't seem to be able to find is something that could do the same for the correlative field 8 in S-type dictionaries in particular for the A; notation for algebraic style.  we have lots of classic dictionaries and it would be helpful to be able to programmatically interpret.normal conversion, and Trans type correlatives OCONV just fine, but when its a referencing other dictionary items, doesn't seem to workAnyone tried this before?

Hi, I'm using Visual Cobol for Eclipse on Redhat. I know I can compile Visual Cobol Projects on Eclipse, but how to compile them with Command Line? There's SQL Preprocessor , and CP Preprocessor used in my projects. One Compile Command that could compile the whole project is the best (even all projects) . If each program need a compile command , that would took a lot of work...  Thanks

I am trying to port some jBase programming that used to allow for PGUP/PGDN/arrow keys/CTRL-A/CTRL-E to Universe.  It appears the best choice for this is the special !GET.KEY subroutine.  When trying to test this out, I am seeing odd results when running the sample program from the documentation.  ​Here is what I see what I press the RIGHT ARROW:01 SINGLE.INPUTType a character or press a function key (q to quit):CODE = -1 (Unrecognised function key)STRING = CHAR(27) CHAR(91)Type a character or press a function key (q to quit):CODE = 0 (Normal character)STRING = CHAR(68)Type a character or press a function key (q to quit): Here is what I see when I press PGUP:01 SINGLE.INPUTType a character or press a function key (q to quit):CODE = -1 (Unrecognised function key)STRING = CHAR(27) CHAR(79) CHAR(82)Type a character or press a function key (q to quit): Notice how the PGUP returned one string with all the values and RIGHT ARROW returned TWO strings, broken up... any thoughts as to why that

Hello All,I have (had) and old installation that used Uniface 8. That server has committed suicide and now I have no Uniface.It's an old system that the user was very happy with and decided that he didn't want to upgrade and was happy to continue on even though he knew he wasn't properly supported anymore.Is there anyway I can find and download a copy of Uniface 8? I know its nearly 20 years old and I know its not supported but I have no choice.There is a backup of the data but not Uniface.HELP!!Thanks,Colin Douglass------------------------------Colin DouglassSoftware ManagerSirius Software Technologies P/LAustralia Square NSW AU------------------------------

Hi, I need some help on how we can create Object of a COBOL Db2 module using Enterprise Developer for Eclipse so that I can define it as External Stored Procedure on DB2 database DB2 version is 11.5 and it is installed on Linux. Thanks Shakti Dorwal#SupportTip#EnterpriseDeveloper

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from Server Express to Visual Cobol, both on Redhat Linux. I noticed a Document that contains [Differences between Visual COBOL and Server Express] and it shows [COM Interop] is one of the points. [COM Interop] means [The tools to help create COM objects are not supplied with Visual COBOL], so I think if there's no [COM Objects] used in my Project, I don't need to change any source code. But I don't know what [COM Objects] is or how to use it. According to my research, seems [INVOKE] statement can used for [COM Objects], Is that means if no [INVOKE] in my source code, then no [COM Objects] used ? Thanks

Hi Guys,We have an application that has been working fine for over 20 years, it's running on Unidata 8.1.2 on Windows Server 2012 using SB+ and SBClient 5.5.4This session runs unattended 24/7 on the server console and basically... 1. scans the database for new transactions 2. packages them into files 3. transfers those files to a folder (to be picked up by an external FTP process) 4. sleeps for 15 minutes 5. return to step 1Late last year we suddenly started to get the below error pop-up, this error disconnects the session, if I reconnect the session it then runs OK for a while (perhaps a few days) but then this same thing happens again[Graphical user interface, text, application Description automatically generated]This customer has 5 servers running this same application and once this started to happen on one server it also started to happen on the other servers too.If the servers are rebooted the issue seems to go away for a while but then comes back.Occasionally users usi

Hi everyone.  This is more for your information than a question.   Since the manual says the KEYSTROKE table is maximum of 170 entries, and I was having some issues, I wondered if the table updated existing entries when a key was changed, or if it was just a log which the runtime searched to see the most recent entry.   I did some testing and table entries get updated so it's not a "log", it's a table. I built a little program to test input and exception keys.  I added a loop to set/reset the kr key back and forth between two values.  Did that 100 times for 200 entries into the table.  Set the kr one more time after the loop, and that's the value I got.  So the table updates entries for various keys, it's not a log where you read everything to find the most recent change.

I'm posting this mostly to let others know about my findings.  If anyone knows a way around this, please, post a reply! As it turns out, my research shows that a format-1 accept (even in gui) can be controlled by the keystroke variable, so you can set up to get an exception value.  However, if you use an ENTRY-FIELD control, the left/right keys are trapped by windows and the field cannot be exited (just like the manual says).   Note: I'm just trying to get one character, including any function/movement keys. I cannot use the W$GETC (won't work for my application).  I've been using the format-1 accept, but I've been running into issues where the active window does not get processed the same when not using the entry-field, even though I use the SET I-O WINDOW to xxx, before doing the accept.   As a result, in my application, clicking the minimize button triggers some handling which does a switch to the main window, check if any mouse movement using form

Ya'll,Running 10.03 directly on the box where it's installed works fine.Trying to run from a client - license not available.Using the same .asn file with the same $license_option - what could be the culprit?  I'm kinda guessing it's DLM since I have a local DLM installed onmy client - but / so - which version should I be using?Is there a separate install package for DLM - because 10.03 is only bundledwith Sentinel - and there ain't no way we'll be using that for the forseeablefuture....?Regards,Knut------------------------------Knut Dybendahl------------------------------

Hi there, On my team we have a tool for submitting jcl jobs from local machines to a remote z/OS system that depends on the zoautil_py library. We've run into a few issues with this library when printing job output that contains characters that cannot be encoded to utf-8. What is the official forum/process to report bugs and make requests for functionality?  Not sure if this is the best place for this type of question. Thanks in advance.

When Unidata is licensed on HP-UX, is there any dependency on the IP address or system name, or could either be changed without impacting Unidata's license?

Hi all,When we still had uniface.info site, there was a page that had a list of fixes: https:  //u.uniface.info/fixes-updates/ (Space in the URL is intentional to prevent previewing).Does anyone know where this has moved to in the new Rocket environment?Thank You------------------------------Geoff MaySanderson Multi-channel Solutions Ltd------------------------------

I received a ticket from a client asking why a phantom job keeps blowing up after an indeterminate amount of time.  The _PH_ logs shows this: In /usr/udthome/sys/CTLG/c/someProgram at line 493 Phantom run basic error, exit 3. Phantom run basic error, exit 3. Line 493 of someProgram is literally this:EXECUTE "a command"So it seems like whatever that command happens to be, the TCL level that is running with the EXECUTE is blowing up for some reason.  Running out of memory seems like a likely choice, but there may be other reasons as well, of course.  The question is, when there's an issue like this, is anything logged anywhere?

Ya'll,The debugger works fine when activating inside our own network.Everything works fine.Some of the offices access our network via a firewall - and UF itself works fine.  However, when we try to activate the debugger from the other side of the firewall, we crash.How come / why?  Do we need to open another port?  How does UFcommunicate with the debugger?  All the resources needed for the  debugger is underneath the directory structure started using the /dirswitch...So what am I missing??Regards,Knut------------------------------Knut Dybendahl------------------------------

Sorry to say I will have a lot of questions as I acclimate back to universe. Here's my latest....04 PORT.STATUSThere are currently 99 uniVerse sessions; 96 interactive, 3 phantomPid.... User name. Who. Port name..... Last command processed............67091 COAT2 21 /dev/pts/17 GRUN203.INPUT [ GRUN203.INPUT @ 0x7FA ]>PORT.STATUS PID 67091Unknown option specified.Why 'unknown option specified'??

Ya'll,How does one - in 10.03 - Get to sort entries in a proc container alphabetically? How to force IDE to 'collapse' all proc script containers (only show operation / entry names) at the start - every time / all the time? Is "Autocomplete" in 10.03 at all?  If so, what's the secret to get it to work? Regards,Knut------------------------------Knut Dybendahl------------------------------

I used the call.stack feature of unidata's port.status - I dont see that on universe. layer.stack does not appear to be even remotely the same...is there a function on universe that will show me what program(s) a port is currently running?thanks!------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------
