Hi Unifacers,

I've developed a functionality to fileload/lfileload and analyze Uniface C/S log files; unfortunately log files, related to Uniface sessions still opened, cannot be read with Uniface itself.

Question 1: is the lock applied from Uniface runtime "exclusive" type?

Question(s)  2: being an old Unifacer I remember when file_load (old version!) when trying to load file in read-write mode was getting an error, it was switching to readonly mode and reading it, exactly like any text editor would do (notepad++ as an example). I am almost sure this was the file_load standard behaviour until U7. If this behaviour is changed lately could I ask the specific reason for it? Could it be considered a regression bug?

Thanks in advance for any reply and happy 2023!

Regards,
Gianni

Hi Gianni - and Happy New Year to you too!

One quick thought - I believe you can 'copy' the open file - and then work with the copied file...
I do this on UF web app server log files - it works a charm.

Knut

Ciao Knut,

nice to hear from you... long long time no see each other... Thanks for your suggestion!

You have more or less same experience: what about question 2?
Am I starting to be too old or you remember something as well? :-)

Best Regards,
Gianni

Hi Gianni,

I did a quick test in Uniface 6.1.du and it behaves in the same way as current Uniface versions. I guess you could say that this specific behavior has not changed in the last 25+ years.

I hope this helps.
