Uniface®

Good evening, I am testing the programmes following the upgrade to Uniface 10.4.3 and am encountering issues when calling a service located in another repository.For example, from application A, I call it using `newinstance "MY_SERVICE", LV_HANDLE` and get error code -58.MY_SERVICE is referenced in the ASN in the [FILES] section as MY_SERVICE.SVC          \\server\qxsrv10\PROJECT\SVC\MY_SERVICE.SVCI can’t find a solution.Has this happened to anyone else? Anna Lisa

 Practically every solution needs unique identifiers. It’s a simple concept—but an essential one—used in almost every system, past, present, and future.While there are many approaches to generating unique IDs, choosing the right one matters.This short video demonstrates a quick and elegant way to generate unique ID values with minimal effort.

Our environmentUniface 10.4.03.014. MsSql driver U5.2 connection pooling:off procs : on The stored procs for INS/DEL/UPD/FET are re-created for all entities used in our application.Our problem:           - we see following statements when tracing our application.                          create procedure dbo.[log_buffer_INS]  and othersOur questiondoes this harm the performance why does uniface needs to create these procs if they are existing?One special remarkwe do use different drivers that refer to other databases

Hi FreaksWe have an archive system (not written with Uniface) consisting of a server and clients. The server and clients communicate via HTTPS. The server also allows a third-party system (in this case, a Uniface application) to communicate with it via HTTPS/REST.That works so far.Now I have some very large files that I want to download from the server. When I use the archive client, a PDF file over 400 MB in size appears in seconds.But when I try to download the file in Uniface, it takes over twenty minutes!What is slowing Uniface down so much here? (It can’t be the server, the HTTP interface, or the network.)Does anyone have any idea which parameters I need to pass to DUMP_FILE_CONTENTS so that it also downloads in seconds here?TIAIngo

 Nobody likes maintenance downtime, missed SLAs, or broken communication in a live application.But what happens when you need to reconfigure your production uRouter—deploy an additional solution, repartition an existing one, or enable a debug path—all without disrupting the running estate?This short video shows you exactly how to do it.

UX-TextArea widget now supports the resize property "auto" enabling flexible resizing behavior based on layout context. Note: If you are not using the edist installer, ensure that the uproperties.ini file is updated to include the new property definitions. For more information, please refer to the documentation. Uniface UX has been enhanced with new field‑level widgets, ux-DateTimePicker and ux-TimePicker, and ux-TextField now supports the html:type property with the values time and datetime-local. Note: If you're not using the edist installer, updates to the usys.ini and uproperties.ini are required to include the widget definition. For mor

Microservices with Uniface in DockerAuthors: Tony Rusinovic, Jonke Korzelius and Jorge Núñez-OrellanaBackgroundIn our article '5 Reasons to put microservices on your To-Do list in 2021 ' we presented the benefits of deploying applications as Microservices. As follow-up we want to share our thoughts on Microservices deployment with Uniface, the role of containerization, and planned product enhancements that will help you to deploy Uniface applications as Microservices. It is also a topic of the Uniface Universe webinar on June 10th.                                 Do you want to know our thoughts on how to assist you in deploying Uniface Microservices?IntroductionAt Uniface, we always try to enable you to embrace technological trends to serve your business. With the arrival, and hype, of Microservices, we want to explore in which area we can help you most.We hypothesize that if w

GuudeI was just trying to download large files using UHTTP: In the documentation, I found an option called "chunk" for UHTTP, along with an example:-- Directly from the Uniface documentation --Chunked DownloadvUhttp->SET_FLAGS(8 ) ; GET send headersvUhttp->DUMP_FILE_CONTENTS("your.zip", "chunk=256k")repeat vUhttp->GET_CONTENTS_INFO("range", vInfo) putitem/id/case vHeaders, "Range", "%%vInfo" vUhttp->SEND(vUrl, "GET", "", "", vHeaders, "", vResp) vUhttp->DUMP_FILE_CONTENTS("", "")until (<DefineCondition>)vUhttp->CLOSE_FILE()But that doesn't work. After a few "small" tests, I figured out that this loop isn't necessary at all; even with "chunked" mode, a single call to SEND(GET) and DUMP_FILE_CONTENTS is sufficient.In what scenario is the example from the UnifAce documentation supposed to apply?

March Hare Software have just released an updated UD6 - Uniface Version Control for Uniface 10.4.03, and all previous releases of Uniface back to and including Uniface 7.UD6 is a “database driver” to store your Uniface source code in text files, so you can use any “normal” devops processes around version control, build management, continuous integration, testing, etc. etc.A quick video of how to use GitHub and Uniface 10 with UD6 is available here:  With the help of my team here, a few years ago we created an open source Eclipse development environment for Uniface.  But I think that the Eclipse development environment has been superseded by VS Code.  I’m toying with the idea of making a VS Code environment for Uniface.  Along with Uniface source code in text files with UD6, it would simplify the use of Claude or other generative AI programming with Uniface.  I’m curious as to feedback from the community if this is something you would find useful?I’ve been the lead developer of UD6 for

HiNow I’m on thin ice.I have a Uniface9 service (self-contained) that has changed an entity's read trigger, i.e. what is in the data model's read trigger is overwritten in the form.When exporting and importing to Uniface 10.04.3_038, that what is in the entity's read trigger is still used. Is this correct?Does it have something to do with this?; Migration Logical: Specify whether precompiler directives are generated to prevent ; triggers and entries from being inherited in selected cases.     ; 0 = do not generate     ; 1 = generate precompiler directives (default)MIGRATION_SCRIPT_V9_INHERITANCE = 1Regards RogerW

Hello,I'm Migrating from V9.7.03 to V10.4.03. After compilation all my components I saw that glyph attached to button no longer displayed.For example : one Button named "DETAIL" Data type is I^ (image - glyph)Initial value is : Chevrons (that is the name of the glyph)Database interface is :@LIB::IMAGE The glyph file chevrons@hematos@usa@iw04020020.gly existes in the .\resources\gly\What is wrong ?Thanks for your help

We are using DLL's with COM interoperability in our Uniface application. Up to today we use C# / .NET Framework 4.8, but want to switch over to C# / .NET Core to be more in line with all other written applications written in C#. I managed to create a (relative) simple DLL with .NET Core, publish it and create a Type Library. I can import that TLB file into Uniface 10 and compile the signature. But when instantiating this component I get an error stating “Unable to get COM type information for COM class”. What could be wrong?

DownloadsProduct availability Matrix (PAM)Downloads of this patch are available from the Rocket Customer Support Portal.New Feature(s)The locale formatting library used by the DSP client has been upgraded to the latest version This JavaScript date library supports parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates within the DSP client. The update enhances localization behavior for more consistent and formally correct output in line with newer locale standards. As a result, date, time, and datetime formatting may show minor visible changes for some locales. Field templates for modeled entities have been updated to use UX widgets by default. All new fields created from these templates will automatically inherit UX widget properties.NOTE: To apply the latest IDE templates, you need to import the updated utemplates.xml, located in your uniface\misc folder.CurrenciesSQLite has been upgraded to version 3.51.3 on both U1.0 and U2.0 for improved security OpenSSL used in Uniface has been
