Uniface 9.7 UHTTP and MTOMAuthor: dammie@seznam.cz (dammie) Hello, is there any posibility how to call SOAP Web Service  with MTOM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Transmission_Optimization_Mechanism and get Binary data (PDF file ) in it? I ve tried UHTTP.SEND ... it worked ( "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" ) but after I ve tried read whole content: https://unifaceinfo.com/docs/0907/uniface/_reference/componentAPIs/httpExecutionOperations/READ_CONTENT.htm I got : "ERROR=-59·;MNEM=<UACTERR_NO_OPERATION>·;DESCRIPTION=No definition found for operation....   It seems there is problem to get binary data of MTOM... ? So is there any way? Can I get SOAP content with MTOM via e.g. DUMP_FILE_CONTENTS same way using example below?   variables     handle vUhttp     string vUrl, vHeaders, vResp endvariables newinstance “UHTTP”, vUhttp vUrl = “http://unifaceinfo.com/downl

[SOLVED] $paintedfieldproperties anyone?Author: gianni.sandigliano@unifacesolutions.com (gianni) Hi Unifacers, I would like to move at runtime a small Uniface button on top of a label using $paintedfieldproperties() The button field I am trying to move is called HEAD3_CLEAR and it is originally positioned at 65,10 with size 2,1, within a DUMMY entity; a label is adjacent to the button on the left ending its used space at column 64 and it has its own text attribute. When the form is executed I want to move button two columns on the left at absolute position 63,10 on top of the label. I am using this instruction: $paintedfieldproperties("HEAD3_CLEAR.DUMMY","1","XPos·;ZOrder") = "XPos=63·;ZOrder=Top" But NO WAY...the button does not move from its initial position! Honestly speaking current CHM (9.7.04.G420) is not helping too much: - Examples when setting new values for an object are sometimes including third parame

WebServices interfaceAuthor: gianni.sandigliano@unifacesolutions.com (gianni) Hi Unifacers, I am requested to call-out a SOAP WebService including 2 vectors as input parameters. XML Specs AFAIK are considering vectors be used in two possible modes: wrapped or bare. Importing the provided WSDL Uniface has defined these parameters as string leaving all options open; I am currently supposing the wrapped mode should be used. Now my point: The Uapplication running has in memory these two nice uniface lists (parts & codes). How these parameters string should be composed programmatically? I/We tried already: - to pass directly the uniface lists, supposing the SOAP driver being able to manage them - to compose them using word "string" as tag including in it each value (<fieldName><string>value1</string><string>value2</string></fieldName>) nothing works. Could any already applied example be provided/published, either the composed string or dir

Retrieve/o and dummy entityAuthor: fearandir@gmail.com (fearandir) Hello. Uniface Library says:  If an entity is defined as non-database, retrieve/o does not search the component for an occurrence. If this is required, define the entity as stored in a database, but remove the write statement from the Write or Write Up triggers for the entity. This should be done in the application model. This ensures that an entity does not get stored in the database, and has the same effect as defining the entity as non-database.   But if do this, i must specify a dmbs path. Our RDBMS is oracle. When a retrieve/o is performed i get a:  ORA-00942: Table or view does not exist.   Any idea about how a retrieve/o works over the occurrences of a dummy entity?   Greetings,   Sergio

Maximum length logical font nameAuthor: gianni.sandigliano@unifacesolutions.com (gianni) Hi Unifacers, In the [SCREEN] and [PRINTER] section of the INI file logical fonts are defined. Which is the maximum length accepted for a logical font name? I've looked into documentation with no success...so I made some test. With Development U9.7.04: 1) I've defined into my .INI file the following fonts: Label30LabelLabel8901234567890=Arial,Central European,8,regular Label31LabelLabel89012345678901=Arial,Central European,8,regular Label32LabelLabel890123456789012=Arial,Central European,8,regular Label33LabelLabel8901234567890123=Arial,Central European,8,regular Label34LabelLabel89012345678901234=Arial,Central European,8,regular Label35LabelLabel890123456789012345=Arial,Central European,8,regular Label36LabelLabel8901234567890123456=Arial,Central European,8,regular Label37LabelLabel89012345678901234567=Arial,Central European,8,regular Label38LabelLabel890123456789012345678=Arial,Central European

$componentname(v_HANDLE) Author: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) Hi freaks I just want to implement a few debugs into my component and output the componentname behind a (instance-)handle. Very easy task I thought. But UnifAce answered with a "nope, no way". A little bit of playing around and I got a solution: Instead of $componentname(v_HANDLE) just write $componentname("%%v_HANDLE%%%") and voila, you got the wanted result. But - question to UnifAce - is this a official way to get the component behind a (instances-) handle? Ingo

$SETTING and a not associated value settingAuthor: fearandir@gmail.com (fearandir) Hi all.   Do you know how to set a not associated value setting ussing $setting?   I can set a setting that contains a value like $MAX_CACHE_SIZE $setting ("file.asn", "[settings]$MAX_CACHE_SIZE", "INIDATA")="-1"   what about $enable_chache_always?. It is a setting that just being present works.   Thanks   Sergio

Dropdown box detailAuthor: mweaver68@gmail.com (Mike Weaver) Has anyone had the need to be able to double click on a drop down box to have an action happen? If so, how did you go about it?  example:     Drop down box has values 1, 2, 3. User is in occurrence one of a multiple occurrence entity. User selects 3.     The users are used to being able to double click on other fields and having the values in those fields be copied to the rest of the occurrences in the entity.      So, we would like to have something similar happen with a drop down box. Landscape on the form is very limited.   Thanks, Mike

INT-trigger $instancehandle vs. $instancename() resp. "->" vs. "activate"Author: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) Ist this a bug or a feature :-) Say, I call a global proc from INIT-trigger. In this global proc, I want to callback the instance GP_DO_INIT   ;a) do it by handle   $instancehandle->"CB_ME"()   ;   ;b) do it by activate   activate $instancename."CB_ME"() END a) is doing what I want BUT b) I got an error -58  "Component not found" Further investigation reveald that $instancename is valid but the instance is at this point not in the instance pool. Why are the different behavior? Is this a bug or a feature :-) Ingo

Error 0131 ..characterset not supported/allowed for Unicode chharactersAuthor: hschmidt@versorgungskammer.de (Hendrik Schmidt) Hello, we have Uniface 9.7.0.4.x and Oracle DB 12.1.0.2. we migrated the database characterset from WE8ISO8859P15 to AL32UTF8 using Oracles DMU ( Database Migration Assitant for Unicode). We set in the ASN's $DEF_CHARSET = utf8 $SYS_CHARSET = utf8 $WIDE_CHAR_BEHAVIOR = Unicode we changed in the repository the character field Definition from Cxxx or C* to Wxxxx or W* or U*  and MUL to FUL eg: update fare.ucfield set u_intf = replace(u_intf, 'C', 'W') where u_vlab = 'MR' and u_dtyp = 'S' and u_intf like 'C%' and u_flab <> 'U_VERSION'; update fare.ucfield set u_syn = replace(u_syn, 'MUL', 'FUL') where u_vlab = 'MR' and u_syn like '%MUL%'; commit; -> 1661 Zeilen aktualisiert. update fare.uxfield set INTERFACEMOD = replace(INTERFACEMOD, 'C', 'W') where ubase = 'MR' and INTERFACEMOD like 'C%'; -> 5916 Zeilen aktualisiert. update fare.uxfield set SY

DOL file and CALL statementAuthor: fearandir@gmail.com (fearandir) Hello. We've an issue. Our uniface application do not respond when a net connection problem occurs that affect the access to de DOL file. Thats fine, but when network connection comes back, the problem persists. Each call statement to a global proc. returns: "call PC_PONER_CEROS() Object Lookup: s:\\uobj.dol ZIP error:(IOSERR_FILE_READ_WRITE) on [s:\\uobj.dol] '' - File read/write failure Object NOTFOUND [0] prc/pc_poner_ceros@jofi.prc Object Lookup: s:\\uobj.dol Object Lookup: External Path / Dbms Object NOTFOUND [0] prc/pc_poner_ceros@system_library.prc   At same moment if you perform a $fileexists(s:\\uobj.dol) all seems ok.   Regards   Sergio

[SOLVED] ATTACH property, multi ocurrence entity and scrollbarAuthor: fearandir@gmail.com (fearandir) Hi all. I am developing a custom solution to adapt our uniface application to multiple screen resolutions. My aproach is use the ATTACH property dinamically via Global Proc to automatize the process when it is posibble. It is working "fine" but i have an issue with multi-ocurrence entitites (not grids). As i need to apply $fieldproperties dinamically for each occurence, the fields "move" or "resize" but the scrollbar stays on the initial position...   Example: Initial design:     After $fieldproperties:     Is it a way to solve this? Thanks in advance, Sergio

check for field and "field list"Author: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) Hi freaks We just switching a "few" READs from U_WHERE to U_CONDITION. Just putting a pair of quotes around the where clause and escape quation marks inside the clause. So far so good, but ... But what about the automatic field list? UnifAce will not analyse fieldname in strings, so it is not possible to check for valid names at compiletime. Even worser, the automatic field list will not be filled with the fields in need. Any idea to solve this by a simple solution? Ingo   EDIT:  Did I mention, that it should be save :-)  A fieldname should only be typed once  else it will be error-prone.

ASCII ?Author: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) I want to check weather a character is a ASCII character or not. But  $syntax("?*")  did not does it job IF (  "Ä"=$syntax("?*")>0 )   putmess "Ä is ASCII ? " ELSE   putmess "Ä is not ASCII" ENDIF Is A-umlaut really a ASCII-character Ingo

[SOLVED] Uniface Profiling logAuthor: gianni.sandigliano@unifacesolutions.com (gianni) Hi Unifacers, saving a profiling log from a running uniface application is logging many attributes on each line. Three couples of values are saved without and with a _X into their names: - ELAPSED / ELAPSED_X - IDLETIME / IDLETIME_X - DBMSTIME / DBMSTIME_X Meaning for each couple of values is clear but what really differentiate the column without _X from the one including _X ? I've looked into documentation but without success... Sometimes values into _X column have a value lesser, sometimes greater sometimes equal to than the one into corrispondent column without _X into its name... Thanks in advance for any contribute. Gianni

$UDE in IDF and crash Author: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) Hi freaks I do some $UDE("compile",...)  in a simple form. After $UDE it seems all okay, but a few statments later, UnifAce will crash. Either on calling an ENTRY or leaving an ENTRY This happens only, when starting this form direct in the IDF. Running this form from additional menu works. Does anyone has/knows a similare behavior? And on the other hand, what "clean up" happens after additional menu to prevent the crash? @UnifAce:Maybe you can gives us a hint, what to do after $UDE to clean up the environment Ingo

Embed MsWord application in Uniface formAuthor: andreas.plumacher@labsolution.lu (pluma) Hi is there a way to start MsWord from Uniface and embed it into the current Uniface form (by using an OCX or another container)? I want to embed the complete MsWord-application (not only the content of the current document) in order to edit my word-document using all the MsWord features. Andreas

Add scrollbar dynamically - Uniface 9.7Author: heloise.besseau@euralis.com (helbenmar) Hi, is there a way of adding a horizontal scrollbar to a form when its size is dynamically changed with $paintedfieldproperties? There is no information about how to do it in Uniface help. Thank you

[SOLVED] $putmessAuthor: i.sharp@pcisystems.co.uk (Iain Sharp) In a menu option I have the following code, designed to output proc tracing previously turned on by the user, so we can do some performance tuning.  variables string v_filename endvariables $proc_profiling=0 $proc_tracing = <false> $proc_tracing_addition="" filebox/save "*.txt" v_filename = $result lfiledump $putmess,v_filename $putmess = ""   Whilst the message frame is empty when viewed, and when $putmess is viewed in the debugger, there's noting in it, repeated use of turning this on and off again shows the original info in the output file with the new stuff appended (even if the filename is new, so the lfiledump $putmess is outputting all the information).  Is this right? The documentation states that $putmess="" clears the message frame.

Changeover from CP1252 to Unicode: Experince?Author: i2stiller@gmx.de (istiller) Hi freaks Our applictaion (from 1990) still runs CP1252, but now it's time to use unicode :-) No problem at all in UnifAce, just change all "C" to "W" and compile all components. But wait, what about the strings in database, we have to convert them too. Okay, export data to XML, alter the database, switch over to new defintions (new components,URR,...) an load the data. So far so good. But our customers do have databases up to 150 GB data. How to handel this amount of data in a proper way? Any experinces out there, how long it take to convert n GB of data by Uniface? Or is it possible to convert CP1252 to unicode by SQL itself? TIA Ingo
