Uniface Anywhere Client is not optimized for your MacAuthor: nico.peereboom@uniface.com (Nico Peereboom) 32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4   Starting with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4, apps that have not been updated to use 64-bit processes produce a one-time alert when opened.  The current released version 5.0.2 of the Uniface Anywhere Client for macOS X is producing the following message when started on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4: "Uniface Anywhere Client" is not optimized for your Mac." This message gives users advance notice that they are running 32-bit software, which will not be compatible with macOS in the future. The Uniface Anywhere Client can still be used on this version without any adverse effects on your data or your computer.   Uniface will release a fully 64-bit macOS X client with Uniface Anywhere version 6.0.   More information on this transition by Apple can be found at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436&nbs

We’re thinking about running a structs webex, it’s going to be a bit ‘techie’. Is there interest?Author: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) Think it would be better to have a nice little tutorial with some basic code provided as export file to get more experiences. Perhaps backed up by a youtube video. I attended Berry Kuijers great webex in january (thats where I got $dbgstruct from), but it's a bit hard to pick up all the important issues presented in the demos to make up own experiments.

Uniface Anywhere and MS Windows Updates and Service PacksAuthor: nico.peereboom@uniface.com (Nico Peereboom) Every second Tuesday of the month, or any time in between when security impact is really severe, Microsoft releases fixes through their Windows Updates mechanism embedded in the Windows Operating System. For security reasons, Microsoft does NOT publish or distribute any information on forehand, on which part or parts of the Operating System is effected by these updates, before the release of a fix. Uniface Anywhere Host is built to handle these Microsoft Updates without interruptions of its functions. Although rarely, it is sometimes effected in functionality by one or more of these windows updates. Whenever this happens, Uniface will work towards a fix for this issue as soon as possible, mostly done in an incompatibility update patch for Uniface Anywhere. Uniface Support recommends to not automatically install windows updates, but first check and test if there are any in

Local scannersAuthor: tomas.hogvag@abilita.fi (thogvag) Hello, Does anyone have some experience using a local client image scanner within an Uniface anywhere application? I don't see any documentation that this would be possible, but perhaps with some third party scanner redirection software?

What has changed in CHM: Compare 9601X101 and 9501E111Author: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) Because the CHM was the only 9601 I had over the weekend, I started some analysis which help pages have changed (even minor changes like typo corrections). As a result; I compiled these in a HTML overview pages and added only the new and changed (old and new) files to the ZIP. And I added a text-only version as well so you can apply a sourcecode comparison against the pure text. As a Xmas gift, You can download from www.uli-merkel.de CHM differences between 9601X101 and 9501E111.zip

reply to the blog: Should GoTo Become a Deprecated Statement?Author: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) below the line of stars you will see my comment on a blog entry. I copied it to the "forum" part because this is the only one with a proper tracking on the "what's new" page comments on blogs are not tracked in the what's new page and are hard to see: Traverse the blog, see the comment count is not empty (or you can remeber it was lower the last time), click the bubble, read the comments to his blog entry only, use "previous page" in the browser return to the overall blog display. ************************************************************************************************************************* Hi Eddy, you will find a lot of uniface code outside in production where you find lots of “goto end” to have a common final processing before the proc is left. So let me rephrase your poll to “do you, the uniface coder and his management

Anywhere on LinuxAuthor: tomas.hogvag@abilita.fi (thogvag) Hi, Does any one have experience of running the Anywhere client on Linux? We have tested the Anywhere Linux client (Debian version) The applications start up fast but there seems a problem when moving windows inside the Uniface application. It is very slow and choppy when you drag a window with the mouse pointer. Any tips on resolving this? best regards Tomas

support for HTML and XML tagsAuthor: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) when you want to create HTML or XML tags, the contents of angel brackets are a necessity to end up in the file unchanged. In Uniface, there is a natural conflict with the precompiler constants, which are converted during the precompiler processing. Because we can not be sure that nobody specifies a global constant "p" we need some means to protect a part of our code against the precompiler constant conversion or a special character for non-constant-angel-brackets, perhaps as an enhancement of the GOLD family? Please support my wish http://unifaceinfo.com/wishdetails/?id=270

Uniface Anywhere support for Mac OS X El CapitanAuthor: nico.peereboom@uniface.com (Nico Peereboom) We recently found that the Uniface JTi and Uniface Anywhere Clients stop working when users upgrade to the most recent release of OS X El Capitan. We have expedited a fix for the issue and modified the client to store its shared libraries in the /usr/local/lib directory. A version 4.8 Uniface Anywhere client that supports OS X El Capitan is available for download from the downloads site here: https://download.uniface.com/downloads/UnifaceAnywhere/v4/ This client is compatible with Uniface Anywhere 4.8 and Uniface JTi 4.7 hosts. New Mac OS-X client: V4macUAClient-B22223-P01.exe Installation instructions: V4macUAClient-B22223-P01.txt Unfortunately this new client was not in time to be included in the current available Uniface Anywhere Host 4.8.2.22195 build.

Uniface Anywhere scalability on serversAuthor: adrian.gosbell@synapse-i.jp (Adrian Gosbell) Several questions from the Uniface Anywhere webinars held in February 2016 was asking about the scalability of Uniface Anywhere Number of clients per server: This is a 'how long is a piece of string' question, but we found that generally an 'off the shelf' server can run 30+ clients, but there are a lot of dependencies to consider so it is important to benchmark and/or use the multi-server deployment option. Server OS: Resource use seems to be better on newer versions of Windows Server, but application deployment architecture also needs to be considered. Application Use: Concurrent users who are doing ‘heads-down-data-entry’ into the one or two forms, are going to be using the Uniface Anywhere server in a different way to users who are opening and closing lots of C/S forms.  Application and Deployment architecture: Having the Uniface Anywhere server also pr

Larry Adkins wish: $entinfo($entname,"fieldlist")Author: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) Larrys Use Case I have a global proc that fills in auditing information into fields that exist in every database table upon write. I want to add another audit field into database tables but it will take some time to implement. If I had this new topic, I could check for the existence of this new field before trying to write to it. ****************************** Hi Larry, based on the JAVA reflection, there is a dITo concept to include repository infos like the db-fields of an entity into included procs. This goes for entities as well as components and have includes for the defines trigger like painted entities as well as routines like the dito_entinfo which will be best placed in the collection operations or the dito_componentinfo which may return even the component comment etc.

From the wishlist: Optiuonal parametersAuthor: ulrichmerkel@web.de (ulrich-merkel) On the wishlist, there is a request about optional parameters in http://unifaceinfo.com/optional-prarmeters/ with the usecase: Every change to interface needs new proc or component operation . As usual when you comment to the wishlist, the fortmatting is gone with the "post comment", so here is the "nice" copy of my comment for activate, there is already a /list switch with the following meaning (Helpfile 9601 x104): /list—passes two parameters in ArgumentList, each of which is a typed Uniface list. This is useful when the number of parameters of the operation is unknown. perhaps this logic can be applied to all other invocation of procedures via call as well as the arrow operator, may be even applicable for functions returning a value. And if the implementation cracefully handles an input list which is too short assuming the additional parameters are NULL, we can have the who
