Well.......The site seems to be smoother to navigate - time will tell.But, it's disjointed (I'm running on a 32 inch monitor - and it's not pretty).Logo / footer sections are left justified - some content is centeredand a lot of content seems to be left justified.  Way to much white spaceon the screens - and the footer is actually off the screen with a scroll left / rigthbar.  As an aside - not sure the color scheme is soothing or irritating - but the big assblue banner is wasting some serious space....Regards,Knut

Blog by Barbara Douma and Jyoti SinghDynamic server pages (DSPs) provide the user interface for web applications. They enable users to view and modify data in a browser, and provide a lot of built-in functionality to ensure that data is formatted and displayed correctly, and to ensure that data entered by the user is correct before it is stored.For example, a DSP automatically checks that a Numeric field does not contain alphabetic characters. This happens in the browser, in the client side of the DSP, even before the data is submitted to the backend server, where the data is validated again before being stored. Having the client side of the DSP handle formatting and syntax checking prevents unnecessary round trips to the server.DSPs provide a lot of default data formatting out the box, to ensure that the data is correctly displayed. For example, a Numeric field with four decimals may be formatted to show only two decimals.By default, for fields with an EditBox widget (or any widget ma

Hi,having just started to migrate to Uniface10, we have tried to keep Uniface development on a network share. I think I'll recommend that we start installing the development environment locally on every PC to get a faster programming experience.However, still leaving the Uniface on a network share, I have tried moving the help-files locally to avoid the chm-helpfile network share problems. Is it possible to make Uniface understand that it should fetch the helpfiles from eg. C:\\temp\\u10help\\.  Uniface development environment Startpage has some links to the "ulibrary.chm" which don't work great as Uniface is installed on a network drive. Is it possible to tell Uniface10 development environment that it should fetch the chm help from a specific place on a local disk.PS. I don't want an answer how to make chm-files work on a network share by doing some changes to the register etc., but would like to concentrate on moving the helpfiles to a specific local place.I have

Hi, Back in March last year, Mike gave the following answer to wishlist items progress. Mike TaylorMar 29, 2019Hi Stijn,I regularly keep an eye on the wishlist for items we can pick up and fit into one of the teams here in the labs. Currently, I have four statuses available to me - New, Start Progress, Resolve Issue and Close Issue.Issues stay on New until they are actively being worked on by development when their status changes to Start Progress. When an update is released their status will change to Resolve Issue. Wishes that are rejected will be set to Close Issue.Over time we will be looking at the workflow to see if there is any refinement we can implement to make the progress clearer.Kind regards,MikeThere are 47 items in the wishlist, only one of which has had any progress marked, which was to say that it would not be done, and closed. I do pay some limited attention to the wishlist, and record my votes for changes which would benefit my development, but I a

How Uniface is building select clause. In one form, I can see few fields in select clause. In some other form, select clause has different fields though where clause is same in both form.

Is there anyone who already migrated a desktop application from Uniface 9 to Uniface 10.3? Is it a smooth process? Is it comparable to previous migrations (U8 → U9 or even U7 → U8)? Is it easier or the same or worse?

Hi Lab,it is unclear to me why I see only older post when I am connected with my uniface.info account.Here an evidence as of today:1) while disconnected (on the right panel you can see questions from latest days):2) while connected (on the right panel the younger question is from 3 weeks ago!):What am I missing here?Should I arrange something in my profile configuration?

DLM Licensing and High AvailabilityThis document will describe a few possible setups to achieve higher availability of license features to requesting Uniface Applications.Redundant License ServersWith three-server (or two-server) redundancy, if any two of the three (or one of the two) license servers are up and running, a “quorum” of servers is established, and the system is functional and serves its total complement of licenses. The situation in which the quorum is not established can only exists for clients that already have successfully checked-out licenses before and for the maximum amount of time defined in the license file (default duration for two server redundancy is 14 days). Server redundancy is designed to provide hardware fail-over protection only and does not provide load-balancing. This is because with server redundancy, all servers will be addressed by the client.Server ConfigurationsThe setup of the two (or three) servers are identical as for standalone

Hi, we use Sql-Server as database, which use bit-type for boolean. We would like to use a tri-state Check-box. Unfortunately we have started to use $STORE_BOOLEANS_AS_FALSE in ASN-file, which stores null as 0 (false) for boolean-fields.My tri-state Checkbox works as I remove $STORE_BOOLEANS_AS_FALSE, ie. Checkbox On - 1 in databaseCheckbox Off - 0 in databaseCheckbox undetermined - null in database. (Actually bit can be null)However using $STORE_BOOLEANS_AS_FALSECheckbox On - 1 in databaseCheckbox Off - 0 in databaseCheckbox undetermined - 0 in database. I dare not remove $STORE_BOOLEANS_AS_FALSE from ASN-file.Is there a way to use a tri-state Checkbox, having $STORE_BOOLEANS_AS_FALSE in ASN-file?  Wanting to distinguish between leaving field empty and choosing No (false), do I have another choice than using a Radio-button?Regards RogerW.

Hi Unifacers,is there any technical reason because the "OLE Container" widget does NOT include scrollbars?If the OLE object included must be readonly and it is longer than Y dimension of field hosting it there is NO possibility to move/navigate into it; the same is applying if the object is larger on X dimension.I've tried to overcome the described limitation including the object field in a contained form to have scrollbars from the container field and it works but due to current Uniface limitation about field size picted on a form (x column * y rows = max 16k) a maximum of two pages of the contained object can be shown. Too little for some objects!Any hint?Regards,Gianni

 I am trying to get a very simple non-modal app workingapp starts non-modal form X which retrieves and displays an overview list of persons  → OKin a detail trigger I want to start a non-modal form Y with the details of the specific personso I do a newinstance of form Y (with "MODALITY=NON-MODAL;TRANSACTION=TRUE")followed by activate->ShowPerson(selectedPersonID)if I use a local variable of type handle for the newinstance → Not OK, nothing showingif I use a component variable of type handle or a general variable for the newinstance → OKfocus back on form X where I want to choose another person → OKthe first person detail form disappears/is replaced by the second ??? → Not OKhow to keep both detail forms open at same time and as seperate transactions ? I have no idea how many details will be opened so declaring multi component variables is not an optionputting the handles in a list does not workHelp ? any examples ?

TLS support for LDAP driverBlog by Rasmus StahlWith the Introduction of the LDAP U3.0 driver Uniface offers native connectivity to LDAP and Microsoft’s Active Directory using TLS connections.LDAP is the latest delivery from an ongoing initiative to elevate all Uniface network traffic to use TLS, and will help protect applications from man in the middle attacks, as described in: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4520412/2020-ldap-channel-binding-and-ldap-signing-requirements-for-windows. LDAP over TLS has also been a popular request from customers.To Use LDAP over TLS you will need to update the driver settings in your ASN file and setup correct server verification.More detailed information is available in the Uniface documentation. See LDAP over TLS.
