Problem Is it possible to enable additional diagnostics on the client side of an AcuToWeb environment? Resolution AcuToWeb offers a Gateway tracing facility on the server side, along with the usual AcuRCL tracing options. On the client side, the additional diagnostics can be enabled directly from the browser used to access the remote alias: 1. Open your browser and navigate to:http://yourserver:3000/ Then, select the "Enable Logging Client" box. Select your alias and click on the button "Connect". Alternatively, add the following argument to your direct URL: &enable_log=y For example:http://yourserver:3000/?hostgw=yourserver&portgw=8008&alias=tour&runtimeArgs=-d&enable_log=y 2. Click on the black-monitor icon on the top left of the screen. 3. Activate all the items for the "Show:" option. 4. Operate as usual until the error occurs. 5. When the connection time-outs or gives the expected error, save the recorded information to a file by using the "Diske

I am trying to use HTTPPOST to upload an XML file via a web page. Content type needs to be multipart/form-data and it is posting to a form.   This works using Curl but I would like to do this in my program using HTTPPOST. Here is an example of the curl command that works: curl --form user=USERNAME --form pass=PASSWORD --form uploadfile=@XMLFILE.xml URL   I'm not sure how to do this using HTTPPOST. Do I need to set the payload to match the body of the post or is there a better way? I set a trace on curl and I can see the body of the post but it's a lot of information to hard code in a program.   Any help and advice would be great. Thank you#HttpPost#RMNet

Problem: In a Terminal Server environment, when the Runtime is physically on another machine and accessed via a mapped drive, the Runtime crashes for all users when either the first or last user to connect exits the application.  Whether it’s triggered by the first or last user depends on the OS.   Solution: This is a known problem and Microsoft has already fixed it in Windows Server 2016.  This Microsoft article describes the issue and workarounds: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2536487/applications-crash-or-become-unresponsive-if-another-user-logs-off-a-r The workarounds are: Install the Runtime on the server the remote users are connecting to. Connect to the server where the Runtime is installed and run the app there. Upgrade to Windows Server 2016 (requires also upgrading to ACUCOBOL-GT 10.1). Rebuild the Runtime with 'Swap Run From Network' enabled. The last one requires Visual Studio be available. If you have the right version of Visu

Do you know if Acu Connect has a time out setting.  If AcuConnect thinks that an AcuThin session is no longer running so it just disconnects the session. Scenario is a program is running that has a lot of records to process so is running for a long period of time - then without any error messages the AcuThin session is disconnected (program and menu programs are gone), user is sitting back at desktop.

Problem Using CJAVA-SETSYSTEMPROPERTY to set the CLASSPATH environment variable does not appear to set it correctly. The class is not found at CALL "C$JAVA" USING CJAVA-NEW. Setting the CLASSPATH in the runtime configuration file variable JAVA_OPTIONS works as expected.   Resolution CJAVA-SETSYSTEMPROPERTY function is working properly. However modifying the CLASSPATH with the System.setProperty method AFTER the JVM is started will have no effect. Each JVM instance has its own properties. The system class loader is initialized at a very early point in the start-up sequence. It copies the CLASSPATH into its own data structures, and the property is not read again, therefore changing it again using CJAVA-SETSYSTEMPROPERTY, once it has started, will have no effect. It needs to be set before the JVM is started.

Problem Calling C$FILEINFO and C$COPY using a file with a name that includes a diacritical character does not work. The data item contains the correct file name but neither C$FILEINFO or C$COPY will find the file.   Resolution The UNICODE changes in 10.1 were strictly for certain aspects of the runtime: DISPLAY/ACCEPT XML file contents SQL Server data Not all aspects of the runtime handle UNICODE. For example, reference modification still works byte-by-byte, and not character-by-character. Although the filename may appear correct in the program, that is no guarantee that the standard library routines will support it.

We are having a serious issue that is causing a group of our users to get a Windows error to be thrown that is kicking them out of our application.  When we look at the dump of the error we see the following: From watching the recordings of the users it seems this might be happening if they are having some network slowness and click multiple times on an object or maybe click on menu options that are behind a screen being generated.  We are not 100% sure yet exactly how to duplicate but hoped that someone might have seen this issue before that might have some ideas. Our application is accessed via Citrix Windows Desktops using thin-client technology. Thanks, for any help.

Hi all. We notice that from runtime versione 9.2.2 (or higher) the DLL convention seemes to be automatic set by the runtime ignoring the user specification. Is it correct ? Can we trust it and stop explicitly setting the environmental variable ?   Thank you -- Davide Giudici#extend#DLL#AcuCobol

Hi, we encountered an issue with Vietnamese characters whereby the we can input and save the record into vision 3 file. However when we recall the record, the Vietnamese character will show up as '?'. This does not happen in the previous version which is v10.0.0. For additional information, we are using the Vietkey software to input Vietnamese and it is actually VISCII character set. Any configuration parameters that will affect this? We have tried both TRANSLATE_TO_ANSI and COBOL_CHARACTER_SET, both does not work.

Problem: When rebuilding the version 10.1.0 Runtime on Windows there are errors about missing libraries: acme2.lib, avision5.lib and wcpp32.lib. Solution: 1. Download libpdf.zip attached to this article, which contains two libraries missing from the 10.1.0 installation, and extract to the lib directory of your 10.1.0 installation. 2. Open the .sln (in the lib directory of the 10.1.0 installation) in Visual Studio 2012 and accept the prompt to “Update VC Projects”. Note that you must use Visual Studio 2012. 3. In the Visual Studio Solution Explorer remove these three files under ‘Source Files’:      acme2.lib      avision5.lib      wcpp32.lib 4. Right click on ‘Source Files’ and select ‘Add’ then ‘Existing Item’ and add these three files:      avision6.lib      libhpdf.lib      libpdf.lib   The solution

I have a problem figuring out how to control threads. Have 2 programs: Program1 should stay in control, program2 contains a window that the user may activate. Summary of source: --- Program1 (called from my main application): display floating window, modeless            bind to thread. call thread "Program2". display screen-1. accept screen-1.  --- Program2: display floating windows, modeless, bind to thread. display screen-2 accept screen-2 --- My problem is that control is in Program2 and not in Program1 even if Program1 displays and accept screen-1. User has to click window in Program1 to make it active. What do I do wrong?

Problem AcuToWeb Desktop may show some conflicts when Edge is used as browser on the client device: 1. "Connection to server refused, access denied"It may occur when AcuAccess file has <same as client> as Local Username.Trying to connect to an alias, the error is shown using Edge, only.Any other browser will work correctly with the same configuration. 2. AcuToWeb Desktop remains in "Listening" mode and no new "Waiting for alias" process is started.Using Edge, the ATWDesktop "Waiting" process never comes up, even after having hit F5 for 10 times.Any other browser will work correctly with the same configuration.

Hello, I've got a memory leak issue, where launching a program will bleed between 600KB and 1MB of memory as shown in the windows task manager. We call the program in a thread and destroy all bitmaps/fonts/activex controls when we're exiting the program. When I look at the debugger's -u output, I can see that the Program memory is staying constant, the file memory is constant, but the Windows and Overhead memory buckets are constantly increasing each time I call the program. Is there any way for me to see what is in these buckets or to tell why they are increasing and not falling back when I exit the program? There are 9 ActiveX controls in total on the window, and some bitmap buttons, I'm assuming destroying them when exiting should release their memory. As this program is run in a thread that we're not waiting for, there is not a cancel that's run after the call, but we do run a Cancel All prior to calling the program, which should free up any memory used by i

Hi All, I'm running testing on input ASIAN Unicode Character into Acucobol AcuToWeb 10.1. Currently i'm facing problem to input Myanmar Character in Acucobol AcuToWeb 10.1. I have try set COBOL_CHARACTER_SET UTF8 or UTF16 or 65001 in Configuration file, some character show spaces & some character can be display but font size is very small. I'm also go through the Code Page Identifiers and there are no specific Page Code for Myanmar Character (Burmese).   Any Idea on this? When the Code Page Identifiers available for Myanmar Character?    Thanks

My organization is running an old COBOL based program from a company called Unicare (no longer around or supported) that is used to submit medical claims to insurers. The program has failed - we are getting data I/O errors and have no resources available to fix this problem, although we have been trying many things to do so. I am positive we are dealing with a data issue (not a software issue) but we are so far unable to fix this although we have tried many things. If anyone can provide some help or knows of someone who can I would be most appreciative. We will compensate anyone who helps of course. I can provide more details to someone who believes they can help but the environment is   The UniCare system is running inside an AccuServer & AccuCOBOL-GT v6.2.0 environment on a 32-bit Windows 2003 SP2 Server      Thanks Marc Slovak mslovak@renfrewcenter.com

Problem: Data for the application is in more than one SQL Server Named Instance.  How can Acu4GL access tables in multiple named instances? Solution: There are four things you must do to enable Acu4GL to successfully access multiple SQL Server named Instances: Set MSSQL as the default in the Runtime configuration file:      DEFAULT_HOST MSSQL Set the default connection in the Runtime configuration file to one of the named instances:      A_MSSQL_DEFAULT_CONNECTION SERVERNAME\\INSTANCE1 Set file aliases in the Runtime configuration file for accessing tables in the other instances, using the Named Instance port number in the fully qualified table name. Something like:      MYTABLE SERVERNAME,nnnn.DATABASENAME.DBO.MYTABLE      (that is servername comma port number with no spaces) Note that if you are using version 9.2.5 or later you can use the Named Instance name in this format ‘SERVERNAME\\I
