Using 9.3.02-binaries with uniface 9.6 runtimeAuthor: bschmidt@arz-emmendingen.de (BenjaminSchmidt) Hi, I´have heard (read) somwhere, that I can run 9.3-binaries with a uniface 9.6 runtime. So I tried, but unfortunately Uniface 9.6-runtime returns the error 0019 "0019 Form %%$sub version is incorrect; you must recompile it. Explanation: A run statement tried to activate a form that was not compiled with the current version of Uniface. Compile the form or forms." Has anybody else expierences with that? Thanks a lot. greets Benjamin

security of data transmission for thick client (client server architecture) application over networkAuthor: lalitpct@gmail.com (lalitpct) I have below queries with regards to our uniface application based on client server architecture 1)Which are the protocols supported for data transmission on the network. 2)Is SSL supported one in uniface? 3)At present In our application DML statement (sql function in uniface) to database is in clear text, and it is possible to tamper the request to the database as there is no Encryption or Hashing/Signing mechanism. Is there way to handle this? 4)What is the usual encryption method use to safeguard database request on netweork in other client /server architecture applications. I know web one has lot of other features but we have client/server acrhitecture and we are exploring options to make our data secure when passing through network.

TXT entity limit?Author: mark.wheeler@tribalgroup.com (Mark Wheeler) Is there a text (TXT) file entity size limit in Uniface (we're currently on 9.5)? We have just created a new entity with 767 fields,resulting in 3560 characters. When we try to read a file it crashes Uniface. We created a cut down, smaller 10 field entity with the same properties and it works fine. Any ideas? Many thanks Mark

doubleClick trigger (non-web)Author: sergio_enbe@hotmail.com (Sergio Encinas Benítez) Can the doubleClick trigger can be used in a Entity that have just non-editable editboxes? The trigger is already in use and I wanted to give the users a better way to manipulate the app since they are already scrolling the entity with the mouse. The trigger just send some info to a Report. I want the doubleClick to do the same if it can be done.

Uniface 9.6 ulibrary.iniAuthor: eitan@amital.co.il (hareitan) Hi Due to Windows security problems, we used to put the contents of the common/doc folder (ulibrary.chm etc) on a network shared folder, add the path to the HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\HTMLHelp\\1.x\\ItssRestrictions registry key, and pointing usys.asn to that location. It all works fine on v95. On v96, while starting the Help from IDF, it looks for a file called ulibrary.ini - we had it on v95, but can't find it for v96. Where can I find that ulibrary.ini file? Thanks Eitan

Services and Milestone CountsAuthor: cdouglass@siriussoftware.com.au (Colin) Is there a way to display milestone counts on a client PC whilst a service is running? We have several services that take around 15 minutes to complete. Some of our users start to get a little worried something is wrong if nothing displays for that long. Before services it was easy just display a message every 100 or so records. Now, of course that can't happen. Thanks, Col Douglass

Columnwidth in tree widget. Author: i.sharp@pcisystems.co.uk (Iain Sharp) When the tree widget list view column sizes are altered, it now fires an extended trigger called columnwidth. When I define the column sizes, using $fieldproperties("FIELD")="FORMATS=CL10·!CL25·!TC6·!TL17·!CL·!CL6·!TL17·!CL13·!CL25·!CL·!CL25·!CL·; LABELS=Reference·!Location·!CHS·!Due Date·!Owner·!Priority·!Date Last Amended·!Contact·!Stock Item·!Cus. Order Ref.·!Developer·!Tester" I have been using character counts. If I resize the 4th column in the tree the columnwidth trigger gets ID=3 (because 1st column is Id 0), and width=117. Does anyone have a good tip as to what one could do WITH this information to make it useful for the next time around, I'd like to store the user's preferences for column sizes and reset

Automated Testing Tools with Uniface??Author: adrian.gosbell@synapse-i.jp (Adrian Gosbell) Here's a question.. we're planning on replacing our automated testing tools that we use to test Uniface. At the moment we use Testpartner which since it was sold to Microfocus, has been discontinued, so we have issues with things like 64 bit support, Windows 8 and so on. We also have some 'home brewed' tests, and they are proving to be a nightmare to support, plus I'd sooner we build Uniface features, not a testing tool. Anybody out there in customer land using testing tools, this is for repetitive tests? (screen scraping which is then played back. If so, what, and any details to share on what experiences using them have been, any details on why a particular product was chosen and so forth. Also happy to discuss on the phone, receive emails and so forth.

Password field in Uniface?Author: zdenek.socha@fullsys.cz (sochaz) Hello, I'm trying to make our application in Uniface looks a bit better. For password fields we used editbox with NDI syntax and NoDisplayCharacter set to 42 (an asterix). But it does not look great nowadays, so I wanted to change it to a bullet or something more common. According to Uniface Library "The default value is a bullet (decimal 165)." But that's not true... the decimal 165 is the yen symbol, not a bullet. I have tried to enter a 149, which should be a bullet character, but this results in very strange behaviour (nothing is shown at all). Real bullet character seems to be U+2022, which is a hex value, so this should be 8226 in decimal. So I have tried to enter 8226 as No Display Character, but Uniface changed it to 255. So it seems it is not possible to use any character with ASCII code

Upgrade Uniface 9.4 to Uniface 9.6.Author: sergio_enbe@hotmail.com (Sergio Encinas Benítez) We're planning to upgrade this month (July 2013) our version of Uniface from 9.4.01.01 (0302_2) to 9.6. We want to know some advices for us to be prepared for the migration of the forms, reports, etc. We currently have the UDE for Windows XP (1GB RAM 32 BITS) and now we're going to install 9.6 in Windows 7 (16GB RAM 64 BITS). We also use Citrix Server and our DBMS is Sybase 15.0.3. Thank you

Using Encrypted DataAuthor: i.sharp@pcisystems.co.uk (Iain Sharp) So, I'm trying to store data in a particular field in the database in an encrypted manner, to prevent our report writer (crystal reports) from being able to report on it. I have written an encrypt and decrypt proc (cp_passwd) as per below, but I have two problems 1. From the documentation, it seems that to store data in a varchar I should be using the USTRING stuff to ensure there are no embedded nulls, but adding it in causes the whole thing to fail. 2. Putting this code <$fieldname>/init = cp_passwd("DECODE",<$fieldname>) in the decrypt trigger of the field, causes the data file to lock almost as soon as read (paranoid locking), I need it to stay as cautious locking (as is set) so is there any way to make the decryption not count as modifying the field? returns string params string p_type : IN string p_inparams : IN endparams variables

9.6 component level Defines triggerAuthor: zoltan.seres@gmail.com (ZoliZoli) Hi, I have recently installed 9.6.01 and tried to compile sources with "#define" in the component level Defines trigger but the following error happens: (FIND) 1 message/info (FIND) error: 1000 - Syntax error (Statement not valid) error: 1112 - Total Proc compile errors: 1. phase completed with error-code -1 If I move the #define statement into the Operations trigger then the compile is successful.

Max Occurrences/Records in componentAuthor: i.sharp@pcisystems.co.uk (Iain Sharp) When defining an entity the developer can set the minimum and maximum Number of Occurences (defined as Maximum/Minimum Records in the documentation). This can then be overridden at component level. Is there any way of finding out the current value of this for a component, so behaviour can be coded into the model in, for example, the $collectionhandle("ENTITY")->add() I'd like to do this without having to add a component level define, using something like $entinfo or $entityproperties. Iain
