Can anyone tell me if Unidata for windows will run on a chromebook laptop?

I've inherited thousands of programs, most of which are no longer being used. Even worse the programs are all scattered into about 80 different program files. Your basic nightmare.Does anyone know a way, on Universe, to tell when the last time a program was executed is? The cataloging features are not usually employed here, although there are some, so anything that looks for a catalogue date is probably not going to help me much - but if there is a way to see when catalogued programs were last run as well that could help some.If there is nothing available to help me here - any suggestions on how to create a log of what's being used? Obviously I could move all the programs into an archived file and wait for my users to scream but that's not helpful to my company :(Thanks in advance for the info / suggestions. Hoping to get this place cleaned up but it's gonna take a LONG time!Kathleen------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------

Thanks for the reply. The only reason that I was considering chromebook is for the price but reading the article that you attatched is seems like a lot of work and iffy at best.I guess I’ll just save-up my money and buy a regular windows laptop.Regards,Kevin Hond

Hi All ,I've downloaded the trial version of the connector. I want to connect to our universe 11.2.5 with that one.We have installed the U2ODBC 32bit & 64 bit. Did a test connection in Tableau it passed but when we click on OK, it gives an error.

Good morning/night!, So I have this little issue when running this little service I'm doing to download files via URL, text part is working correct but when I try to download an image, the image gets corrupted or something because when you open it, it has like a dizzy effect or its green and red directly.I stracted a little code to test the image download which is the following: URL='http://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_light_color_272x92dp.png' DIR.RESPUESTA='COMGATEWAY' NOM.FICH.RESP='logo.png' HTTP.STATUS='' TIME.OUT='1000' DATOS.RESPUESTA='' CABECERA.RESPUESTA='' RESPUESTA=createRequest(URL,'GET',HTTP.HANDLER) RESPUESTA=submitRequest(HTTP.HANDLER,TIME.OUT,'',CABECERA.RESPUESTA,DATOS.RESPUESTA,HTTP.STATUS) CRT 'KG.HTTP: HTTP.STATUS [':HTTP.STATUS:'] ':TIME() * Checks HTTP status IF HTTP.STATUS<1,1>#'200' THEN * Msg 'La respuesta del servidor no ha sido correcta. %1' CALL GENMENSAJE(64746,HTTP.STATUS<1,1>,

Hello community, I am facing this problem and hope anybody could help me. My site is running Unidata over Windows Server and MVIS to provide webservices.The problem is when the webservice receive extended characters, for example: á,é,ñ,Ñ and so on, the webservice subroutine uses UDO object to get the data from JSON parameter and write it to the file, but in this case of special characters, the data saved is completely different with other characters. And it is worse when that same data is pulled out by other webservices. All third-party providers that my site interact with indicate that the application cannot handle UTF-8 encoding properly.I will appreciate any help you could provide me.Thanks.

After installing as root, are there any options for running Unidata as aless-privileged service account? I'm working with a customer that forsecurity reasons does not want the main unidata processes running as root,and they're pointing out that Oracle, Apache HTTP, Postgres and many otherserver-side services have the ability to run under non-user accounts.I don't think it's possible, and haven't seen anything in the docs (thoughthere is a hint that it's possible for UV, running as a user uvadm,https://rbc.rocketsoftware.com/downloads/readme/UV-11.3.3.pdf?16:05)Thanks for any experiences, both positive and negative!Ian

Hi all,Just wondered if anyone has tried this or may know the answer. I have gzipped files in unix and I am trying to send these via a http POST, but having issues. I've tested via postman, so know it's something I am doing wrong.I have added 'Content-Type application/json", and "Content-Encoding gzip" to the header, and read in the file to use as the payload, but get the following when checking the response header:  ------------------------------Simon WoolfallSenior Software EngineerRocket Forum Shared AccountBELFAST GB------------------------------

Good Afternoon Everyone!We are in the midst of upgrading to UniData 8.2 from UniData 6.0, SB+ 5.2.3 to SB/AX 5.5.4.   My coworker and I are trying to use the .NET processing to connect to various processes/databases and seems like we are running into "potholes" or "walls".I have downloaded the U2 Clients And APIs UniObjects for .NET Developer Guide version 5.2.1 and the U2 Toolkit for .NET User Guide version 2.2.3.My questions are the following: Has anyone else experienced issue like this that can share with us? Is there other PDFs/documentation out there that we can look at? Any feedback will be welcomed.Best Regards,------------------------------Grant BoicePrincipal Software DeveloperMatheson Tri-Gas Inc.Warren, NJ 07059------------------------------

Hello Forum Members!I have a question and hope someone can point me in the right direction.    I recently stumpled across the a file directory named __V__VIEW.     It appears it has something to link UniData to an SQL environment.   My question is this....  Where can I find documentation on this?    I can seem to find it or maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.If someone could lead me into the right direction, I will be most appreciative!!!Thank you for your time and consideration in advance.Sincerely,------------------------------Grant BoicePrincipal Software DeveloperMatheson Tri-Gas Inc.3 Mountainview RoadWarren, NJ 07059------------------------------

Hello!In another thread, Jonathan indicated:"At 11.3.1 python was added for Windows and Linux only. If you want to use python on another platform you will have to upgrade past 11.3.1. Solaris was added at 11.3.2 , Aix was added at 12.1.1 and currently is not available for HP."According to the release notes, Python has been supported in UniVerse on AIX since 11.3.2, same as Solaris. Are the release notes incorrect?Brian Paige

As a normal practice I wouldn't be posting example code onto the forum unless someone was needing help about a specific problem. We did have a question come in from a customer this week asking for a new conversion code be added to UniData. This brought up a couple of interesting subjects. The customer was not aware that you could write your own code following a template to create your own conversion codes. It took me some time to find where this was buried in the manuals I can understand why they would not have come across it.So just in case others were not aware you could do this I thought I'd share with you how you do this.SUBROUTINE SUBNAME( return_val, STATUS, input_val, TYPE )***************************************************************** Brief functional description** (c) Copyright notice**************************************************************** Detailed description** Usage, such as return_val = OCONV(input_val,"USUBNAME")**************************************************

When reading uv/errlog events, I would like to know what the call return stack was when the error occurred.In other words, the same info one gets from PORT.STATUS LAYER.STACK, or RAID "T" trace command, or SYSTEM(9001) function call. Create a UVCONFIG parameter for verbose error logging if you think it will be too burdensome to inflict on unsuspecting customers, but with today's system speed and storage capabilities, I think most would opt for more info. Business case: uv/errlog is an underappreciated but powerful tool for application quality improvement by working patterns of errors, correcting data, & -- most importantly! – finding & correcting root causes. Sometimes it is hard to resolve nebulous errors like:- Bad data "Y" for conversion "D2/". Unconverted data used for selection.- RetrieVe: syntax error. Unexpected symbol. Token was "ALL". Scanned command was . . .- Verb `VAN` is not in your VOC- Program "XYZ": Line 1234, Variable "ABC" previously undefined. Empty stri

I was wondering if someone could comment on the use of the WIN.GETFTP host subroutine.  Every time we use it, it spits out a message "Invalid conversion type NO".  We have always set the type to "0" for ASCII when we make the call, but no matter what we set it to, we always get this message (and have for many years and versions of wIntegrate).  We currently use v6.4.0.What is it complaining about?------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------

We currently have two dll installed one for pdf creation and one for qr creation, we did both of them back in 2012.   And of course our notes from then are spars.  We'd like to add another dll for excel creation.   I'm assuming that in 2015 we were using Visual Studio 2012 to compile and link the C code.   We're using VS2019 to do the same for the new dll.   dumpbin for the original two dll's shows linker version 11 (which I believe is VS2012).  When we manually install the dll into bin and add the entry to gci.admin (and confirm the addition to the registry).   we can't get the new dll to show up in GCI.NTMAP.B (the exist two dll's do, with there functions listed).My question(s).   Is there any log file that shows any hint of why the new dll wouldn't load?    Or if VS2019 would not work on win2012r2 or universe 11.2.4?I also, walked through the auto creation of the multiply example (ie gci.admin,

Hey everyone, complete noob here who has been tasked with implementing some stuff with uopy.We have been reviewing the security of our proposed setup and have a few questions around uopy, the Unix user and the UniVerse user that we can't find any definitive answers for, so I'm hoping somebody in the community can lead us to the right bit of documentation for these:1. It seems that uopy has the capability to run SH commands (limited by the VOC?).  Is there a way to completely disable SH?  My limited understanding is that the VOC can be written to by the UniVerse user so can they re-enable access to SH by themselves?2. The uopy library seems to require a Unix user to operate.  If we disable the shell in /etc/passwd (or point their shell entry to /bin/false or something), would that have the effect of also disabling SH access via UniVerse?3. If we have to have a Unix user for our uopy to operate, can be make ownership of all their files read-only so they can't be modified?&

I'm developing a subroutine that will copy a record from one file to another.Depending on the value of one of the input arguments, the target record will be overwritten if it already exists in the target file.Upon confirmation of a successful copy, and depending on the value of another input argument, the source record could potentially be deleted.I'm looking for methods of confirming the copy was successful; i.e., the target record is identical to the source record.Any suggestions?------------------------------Shawn WaldieManager, Enterprise Application DevelopmentRocket Forum Shared AccountLos Angeles CA US------------------------------

We will soon upgrade UV storage to solid state.  A couple times in my life I've seen fast I/O bring unanticipated timing issues when file updates happen sooner than anticipated by the application design.  I'm struggling to remember details.  One was a multi-write logical transaction where, at some point, some files were moved to a much faster disk or bus than the others, so the writes got temporarily out of synch, creating unanticipated confusion for nearly simultaneous queries.  It wasn't a problem when everything was slower. Would anyone care to share any such gotchas they've seen, particularly when moving to solid state storage? (It does seem an odd thing to complain about:  my system is too fast.)------------------------------Chuck StevensonDBA / SW DeveloperPomeroyUS------------------------------
