Before you get carried away I don’t mean you can do any coding in uniface.  In fact, you can ask about the $hits and it may suggest you have a dodgy stomach. 🤣 What I did which is something I have found needed in many companies but with no easy solution.  How do I get an ERM for my project.  The problem is it either takes too long and is unusable, or it simply can not be done as we hold relationships in uniface and not in the database. So, I tasked it to AI.I gave AI the DICT data for fields, tables (± 1000 of tables), subtypes, relations, keys… so 5 files of data. I thien started chatting with AI. The result is a stand alone .html file.  You can zoom, wildcard the tables, see the relationships, correct any overlaps.  For more features I would suggest chatting a bit more. The source code is easily readable but seems to consist of lots of drawing lines.  You probably would not want to modify the code manually. So, the easy bit is to give it the data, then you need to chat until it give

Our IT services have employed a company to test vulnerabilities. They are reporting an out of date Oracle Java version on our machine, which is patched to patch 10.4.3.042What do people know about updating the Java version independently? Is it ‘safe’ to do so? Or will bits of the uniface environment stop working?  Where is the installation folder to overwrite, or is that automatic?  (afterthought) WHat happens when we patch uniface, does it reset, or is it smart enough to not update a later version? Regards, Iain

Good afternoon, I would like to ask about the E-Learning that appears in the “Road Map”, for us in very important. You can inform us how we can review the courses and when all of them will be ready to use.Thank you

Hi all? I installed the latest Patch  (044) in my development.After transfering a form to test, I get an error .[] User action failed to complete. Unexpected exception. [error=-100003] Repository data found, of which the K-version is too high. The form is imported but I can’t open the IDE in test and prod any more :  

Hi all,I am trying to trace down an annoying issue related to opening files in Uniface Runtime but unfortunately I am not able to identify an origin and a solution.Here it is the scenario:    - A centralized server (Windows 2019 Datacenter) sharing a disk    - All users (normally 120 but up to 150 concurrent) refers to this server to startup a Uniface application in C/S mode    - Log is activated for all sessions ($ioprint = 1)The system is up’n running 24x7 and issues I am going to list are happening mainly from 8:00 to 20:00 when most users are at work but there are cases also outside this timeframe like in the evening (20:00 to 24:00)  and also in the middle of the night (00:00 to 06:00).Issues:    - 20% (extimated) = daily Uniface sessions terminating without any signal or message or other… nothing!    - 79% = Session unable to write log file on shared disk (message:    ULOG Error: Failed to write to .\log\[NETWORK_NODE_NAME]_[PROCESS_PID].log) in this case a UNIxxxxx.log file is c

The ISO 7-Layer model was the starting point for interpretation of the model. The diversity of platforms and technologies spanned both the network layer and the language set utilized by the operating system AND database. These inter-complexities were a hardy challenge to debug and further implement.I’ll not list all platforms and operating systems or databases. These still live in the PAM today.AppleTalk, NetWare, Microsoft, IBM, Novell all had different TCP stacks for network communication.DB3, TXT, ORA, SYB, INF, MSS - all databases with their own functional peculiarities and implicit value to the growing information technology business-scape.The ability to write in one place and run on soo many devices. Do I dare mention other runtimes still around today?The Refresh’ing-erSeeing UNIFACE today these concepts evolved very nicely. Containerizations, purpose-built runtimes, security-enforcement, platform-independent integration capabilities, Wow! In UTF8/16-Unicode;→Inside automation ha

I've had a careful look (as opposed to a man look) on the wishes list screen, and I can't see a method of adding a new one any more (ISTR it used to be a 'fly-in' button on the right-hand side). I've gotten through to Jira direct, and there's a Create button, but that only allows for the support desk project, (USL?) not the wishes (UNP). Please let us know when we can add wishes again. Regards, Iain

I'm having trouble adding blank lines, for example to create a new trigger; I can only do it by pasting lines and writing over them. Also, I haven't been able to use the GOLD Key.

I am trying to look at changing to using the new UX widgets. The ux-button documentation states there’s a property “Icon” which Defines the name of the icon as it exists in the ui-fabric-core library. If name is not specified, no icon is displayed. The default is no icon.  I can find no other references to ui-fabric-core by searching in the documentation, nor does it apparently show up sensibly in my webapps folder(s). How can we find out the name of the icons available?  How can we add new icons so they are available to the ux-button (or others)?  RegardsIain

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.

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
