This troubleshooting article has been created with the Uniface Community Edition in mind, but it also is applicable for the Windows version of the Uniface Enterprise Edition (version 10.3 and 10.4).In case you encounter the following red error page in the Web Browser with the text "Error Text : Cannot connect to the UNIFACE process on the remote address/port." when trying to start a DSP or USP component (using e.g. the Uniface Community Edition) then this can be caused by different configuration issues on Windows.Possible causes: The URouter Service is not running. An incorrect user name or password is specified in the WRD configuration file web.xml The user that is specified in WRD configuration file web.xml that should start the UServer process does not have the "Log On as a Batch Job" user right. How to troubleshoot:You first need to check if the URouter service is running. For this open the Windows Services app ("services.msc") and look for something like e.g. "Uniface 104 Commun

Hi,I have issue with processing 0xA0 (no break space) character in Uniface. The data are stored in the DB.

Hi,  Can anyone please let me know how I can set the configuration $search_object in Uniface 10.4 to have DBMS_FIRST in IDE asn file. I would like to the same for $search_descriptor.

What is the alternate option to do this.Thanks,Satheesh------------------------------Satheesh MuthuGopal BalasubramanianIT ArchitectUBS AGSingapore SG------------------------------

In case a Uniface application is started and the adm directory is not set to UnifaceAPSInstallDir\\uniface\\adm (e.g. C:\\Program Files\\Uniface\\Uniface 10 10.4.01\\uniface\\adm) then using the Uniface Debugger from the application might not work. The Debugger relies on finding its configuration files (udbg.asn & usys.ini) that is located in UnifaceAPSInstallDir\\uniface\\adm. Without the required settings from these configuration files the Debugger will fail to start with the following error message: 0008 - Failed to activate Start-up shell screen. One way to prevent this problem is by creating a udbg.asn file in UnifaceAPSInstallDir\\common\\adm (the default application configuration directory if nothing else is specified) and add the following line: #file usysuniface:udbg.asn With this simple change the Debugger should be able to start regardless of if the adm directory is set to UnifaceAPSInstallDir\\uniface\\adm.In older versions of Uniface (<= 10.3) it is also possible th

When running Uniface 10 on Windows then widgets used by an application are defined in the [widgets] section of the INI file. Here a logical widget (with specific settings) is mapped to a physical Uniface widget. For example: [widgets]EditBox=ueditbox(font=editfont;autoselect=on;dimmedbackcolor=off) For details see (e.g.) the following topic in the Uniface Library: Uniface Reference > Configuration Reference > Configuration Settings: Initialization > [widgets] This mapping also needs to be done when running Uniface in character mode (ChUI). On non-Windows platforms initialization (i.e. INI) files are not used. Instead, the widget mapping is defined in the [WIDGETS] section of the assignment file. [WIDGETS]EditBox=ueditbox For details see (e.g.) the following topic in the Uniface Library: Uniface Reference > Configuration Reference > Configuration Settings: Assignment > [WIDGETS] The usyschr.asn file contains default widget settings for the character mode interface

Hi, We work with tomcat 8 and uniface 9.7.5. One of our customers did a security audit and returned a high security issue to us with version 8 of Tomcat. This security audit advises us to use Tomcat 10. But this version of Tomcat migrates all classes using javax.* to jakarta.*. The wrd.jar uses the javax.* class. Is there a wrd.jar version compatible with TOMCAT 10 and the new class jakarta ?Thanks.

Hi,a little question that I don't seem to be able to find an answer to (yet).I could have opened a ticket to support but this might be interesting for other users too.Is it possible  - given the repository changes in 10.4 - to import an export file from 10.4 into a 10.3 repository ?This would be serious dealbreaker if not the case; we need to maintain 2 release branches, the oldest branch would remain on 10.3.Thanks in advance !Wim------------------------------Wim van EupenXperthis NVMechelen BE------------------------------

So, the documentation states that the layout of split bars in contained forms is not preserved between instances in the same way it is in 'normal' forms. What if I really want it to be preserved? In the demo a while back of making the office "menu bar"  there was use of an undocumented feature to hide split bars, is there an undocumented feature to allow me to examine/store/set the position of the split bar within Proc? Regards,Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesPci Systems LtdSheffield GB------------------------------

I have recently re-checked the help for building a mobile app, having worked with Uniface to prototype one using buildozer. As far as I can see, the instructions now say "Use your preferred hybrid framework to package the mobile app" (See here). Okay, I don't have a preferred hybrid framework, because I am a Uniface programmer. Would anyone (or Uniface) recommend a framework I could prefer, please?I develop on MS Server systems, so something with a windows IDE would be preferred. I know @Jason Huggins demoed something where one 'simply' fed in the relevant cordova bits from a command line, in the last presentation I watched, but I didn't catch what one fed them into, and was expecting a recommendation/suggestion in the documentation. ​Regards, Iain​------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesPci Systems LtdSheffield GB------------------------------

Hi.I can't find this information in the doc (most probably because of my english).Is there a way to call the "parent" trigger when overriding it in a form ?To be more clear, let's say I have an entity with some specific code in the trigger (for example the write trigger).Then I have a form with this entity, and I want to add a specific code, but only when in this form.A solution could be to copy the original trigger code and add what's needed. But by doing that I will duplicate code.Another solution could be to add my specific code in the entity with a test, but it will mean to recompile all the forms with the entity.So what I'm asking, is there a way to do something like this in an entity in a formtrigger write  call MyEntity.trigger(write)  do this  do thatendThanks.------------------------------Jean-marc SalisMp ServicesMontauban Cedex FR------------------------------
