Uniface®

Introducing Observability in Uniface: Real-Time Insights Without Code Changes Authored by: Dongbo Zhang, Senior Software Engineer, Rocket Uniface Observability is the ability to understand what is happening inside your applications by collecting and analyzing metrics, logs, and traces. With Uniface’s new Observability feature, you can monitor application performance and behavior in real time - without changing your application code. This capability is built on OpenTelemetry, an industry-standard framework for observability, making it easier to integrate Uniface with popular monitoring tools like Tempo, Loki, Grafana, Jaeger, or Elastic Stack.  What's New? Starting with Uniface 10.4.03-030, Observability is now a native feature. Here is what you get: OpenTelemetry Integration

Hello,I am using Rocket UNIFACE 10.3. As part of our plan to upgrade the database server, we are considering an OS upgrade from AIX 7.2 to AIX 7.3.Could you please let me know if UNIFACE is planned to support AIX 7.3? If there are any existing validation cases or roadmap information available, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share them.Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi All,   As part of our ongoing upgrade, we are transitioning the Uniface environment from Uniface 7 (on OpenVMS) to Uniface 10 (on Linux).During this migration, we encountered an issue with a 3GL function that was previously working as expected in the OpenVMS environment. The function is invoked using the following Uniface command:   perform "3glfunction"edit/nowander   This 3GL function is implemented in a .c file located in a Linux directory. Its purpose is to pause the Uniface application until a specified time has elapsed. Once the timer completes, the function uses UPUTAMES to send a response back to Uniface.While this setup worked seamlessly on OpenVMS, it does not function correctly on Linux. The Linux version of the 3GL function uses a timer thread, which is detached after the timer ends. Although UPUTAMES works independently and is capable of sending responses back to the application, it fails to trigger the expe

The search (specific and AI) functions on the docs webpage appears to be broken, no results are returned even when very specific request are made, and the Uniface product is explicitly selected. Any idea when it’s coming back?

HiThis is probably a question for Rocket mods.Customer is using an application that requires a runtime licence for uniface. They currently have the application and database on premise and use the Distributed Licence Manager to manage concurrent users.They wish to migrate the application and database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.What would be the implications for this with regards moving the DLM onto OCI, and would the licence itself need to change?They are on uniface 9.7.Thanks in advance,Clare

Bitness Mismatches After Migration: How to Detect and Prevent Issues When migrating your Uniface environment—especially to new hardware or operating systems—you might encounter a common obstacle: bitness mismatches between Uniface and third-party components like DLLs or database clients (e.g., Oracle). These mismatches often happen when 32-bit and 64-bit components are mixed unintentionally, leading to errors that can be tricky to diagnose.How Do You Know If Bitness Mismatch Is the Issue? Here are some typical symptoms that point to a bitness mismatch:Uniface fails to start or crashes immediately. DLL load errors appear (like “Cannot load DLL” or “Invalid format”), error codes # -150/-155. Database connectivity issues, especially with Oracle clients. Unexpected or inconsistent behavior in components that depend on external libraries.If you notice these symptoms after migratio

I get the following error when attempting to enter an entitlement ID:“The friendly name provided is already associated with the fingerprint of another machine.

Under the Hood: Uniface’s Chromium Framework Gets a Major Security and Performance UpgradeBy Jie Wu,  Software Engineer III As a Uniface engineer, I’m excited to share some big news with all of you who build, maintain, and run Uniface applications: we’ve just shipped an upgrade to the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) in Uniface patch 10.4.03-028. If you’re using the HTML widget or working inside the Uniface IDE, this will directly impact your daily work—for the better.Why This MattersAt its core, Uniface leverages Chromium (the open-source backbone of browsers like Chrome and Edge) for HTML rendering and JavaScript execution. This means that whenever you embed web content in your app—be it dashboards, rich UIs, or integrations—you get the same level of power and security that powers modern browsers. By upgrading CEF from version 123.0.7 (Chromium 123.0.6312.46) to CEF
