Hi all, from few days at a customer site we are facing an issue with Uniface license server installed on a linux server. When Uniface Windows clients try to obtaing a license they are often getting back "License NOT available".We checked on the server log and we found many messages like this: [07/23/25-11:58:03] warning: a send data of size 25 bytes failed iP=X.Y.Z.C, you may want to increase the client's timeout setting Where IP=X.Y.Z.C is IP of the calling client. My question is: where should I change client's timeout setting for dialogs with license server as suggested from the log line? ASN setting USYS$TCP_PARAMS AFAIK is dedicated to Uniface<=>Userver. I am currently checking $NET_TIMEOUT ASN param... Thanks in advance for any answer/suggestion. Regards,Gianni ------------------------------Gianni Sandigliano IT------------------------------

I have recently changed a tab widget from ATTACH=BOTTOM,RIGHT to ATTACH=VSIZE,RIGHT, so as to remove the need for a splitbar.  However, if we use the elipses (...) to load the properties form, on exit, it removes the VSIZE, and will therefore quietly break our component. It has been some extended time now that the VSIZE etc has worked in the properties for a field, can UF please fix the properties form to at the very least not silently change the behaviour of the form.  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

Dear Rocket Software Support Team, I am attempting to reinstall Uniface and am, once again, encountering license issues similar to what occurred previously. To facilitate the analysis of the problem, I am attaching two images to this post showing the error messages that are displayed during the installation attempt. Thank you in advance for your attention, and I look forward to your guidance in resolving this matter. Sincerely,Renato Curvelo PS for now, i did a fresh install on a virtual machine...

Hello I have a problem with an html widget when the focus is on the html widget and not focused for example on an editbox within the frm component.  When I press for example 'shift+-' the userKey trigger is not fired. Other key combinations do not work either. Any ideas how to get this to work? Thanks Observations: Shift++ works but I think that is because + is a gold key I tried this but it did not help  putitem/id sProperties, "UnifaceKeys", "Shift+-" $properties($sHtmlField$) = sProperties This does work, for example with esc but shift(-) is not part of the functionality putitem/id sProperties, "UnifaceKeys", "DefaultKeys" $properties($sHtmlField$) = sProperties ------------------------------Osman ShariffFreelance Uniface Consultant - FrancePrivate message me if you need help with a projectEnglish, French, German------------------------------

Hey, i'm trying to convert a (complexe) uniface associative list into a struct. I found some samples on this forum but i'm encoutering some problems. this 'debug' screen shows the result after the struct->$name (1) instruction.  As you can see in the results (2) the node did not accept the name, nore did we get any error. I tried to simulate the procedure via a test-form and (obviously) here we donnot encouter any problems (see attachment) Anyone? Thanks in advance, Geert------------------------------Geert DupontZorgi NVMechelen BE------------------------------

Dear, we are trying to simulate an example from de Rocket Library, but this does not work: XML Attribute Our code variables struct vStruct string vXML endvariables vStruct = $newstruct vStruct -> para= "txt" vStruct -> para -> $tags -> xmlClass = "element" vStruct -> para -> audience = "admin" vStruct -> para -> audience -> $tags -> xmlClass = "attribute" putmess vStruct -> $dbgstring ; $dbgstring returns following result []  [para]    [$tags]      [xmlClass] = "element"    "txt"    [audience] = "admin"      [$tags]        [xmlClass] = "attribute" structtoxml vXml,vStruct ; the xml however gives us : <para>txt</para> ; where we would expect  <para audience="admin">txt</para> ; any ideas (someone) ; we hope that any solution that will  be given will also work for structToJson ------------------------------Geert DupontZorgi NVMechelen BE------------------------------

Hi. I've got a form (Form1) containing a uHTML widget. I do a lot of stuff here, starting with     MY_HTML = "&file://%%$URLMENU$"    $fieldhandle(MY_HTML)->$widgetoperation("JS:doStuff", l_json) Then I do muliple stuff, including navigating with changing the file the same way in a trigger of MY_HTML trigger goToNextPage     MY_HTML = "&file://%%$URLPAGE1$"    $fieldhandle(MY_HTML)->$widgetoperation("JS:doOtherStuff") end It works, no problem. Now I have a other form (Form2), also with an uHTML widget, totally unrelated to the first one. I start it the same way.     MY_OTHER_HTML = "&file://%%$OTHERURL$"    $fieldhandle(MY_OTHER_HTML)->$widgetoperation("JS:doNewStuff", l_json) But when it opens, here is what happens : Form2 opens with the last content of Form1 (!!!) Then some time passes (perhaps the stuff I'm preparing in my Form, reading data) Then the HTML goes blank and error are fired (mainly "HTML Widget: Uncaught ReferenceError: doNewStuff is not defined"

Hi everyone. Pretty sure the information is available somewhere on this forum or elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it. So sorry if the answer is obvious. Is there a web page / chart with a list of compatibility versions between Uniface and PostgreSQL ? Like the PGS version supported by Uniface 9.x, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 etc... ?

Is there any way to know, from within the contained component in a tab widget, when the component is visible (I.e. when the tab value on the other component is changed).  I have contained component which I would like to refresh/instanciate when the tab is clicked, but not before.  trigger getfocus only fires when the contents of the tab is clicked, not when the tab widget itself has it's value changed to show the item.  The contained component is used by several different 'parent' components, and I would rather not have to alter the tab widget valuechanged trigger on all of them to include some 'instanciate' message. I'd rather the contained component knew when it was visible automatically. This would allow adding it to other parents without having to have secret knowledge of how to configure it.  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

Hi all,  After having problems with Crystal Reports with our upgrade from Uniface 9.7.01 to Uniface 9.7.05 and Uniface 10.3, we´d like to know if there exists examples or tutorials where we can find information. I search in the forums but the info is too old with Crystal Reports version out of support. Any guide or information will be much appreciated Thank you very much.

Has anyone ever tried to call a .net Core class library from Uniface (v10.3.02 32-bit)? We do have a working solution to call a .net framework dll by defining signatures. We use DllExport to expose the C# functions to native code. BUT we want to accomplish the same in .Net CORE. When testing we use UnmanagedCallersOnly as a substitute for the dllExport, but we always encounter procerror -58.------------------------------Johan Van AutreveCevi N.V.BE------------------------------

I am trying to follow the training from learn.rocketsoftware.com about ux widgets.  When I try to tun the example dsp UX-1 I get a Uniface RIA Exception "No widget found for files PERSONID.WIDGETS.UX". I have copied the uniface\\common folder from the installed uniface to the runtime webapps\\uniface folder. What file(s) am I missing? I have tried inspecting the page code, and I can't see anywhere it directly references the ux\\unifaceux.min.js.  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

Hi Unifacers, large text fields are becoming more and more common in all applications.It would be nice to be able to recognize where endUser is positioned in a large text field as well as to position him/her in a specific point of the text field. Need is to have a new function $curPos() which can be used to get or to set cursor position in a specific field.Syntax could be:vPos = $curPos(FIELDNAME) ; to get current position$curPos(FIELDNAME) = vPos ; to set current position When setting a new position automatic scrolling should be taken in consideration to show the portion of text where the cursor is newly positioned. Questions:- Has anyone already implemented something similar?- If NOT: could this request be taken in consideration as a wish from ULab? Thanks in advance for any feedback. Regards,Gianni------------------------------Gianni Sandigliano IT------------------------------

Hello everyone, In a DSP (10.4.02 version), we were able to use voice dictation through the "SpeechRecognition" interface, which is functional on Google Chrome.  We would like to use this same voice dictation in a form. Despite the Uniface HTML widget using Chorium, this interface does not work. Have you ever had a need for dictation in a form, and do you have a solution? Thanks.------------------------------Jérémie CEDOLINProges PlusWillems FR------------------------------

I am wanting to update the positions of fields on a form multiple times a second as if they are being animated. I'm struggling to find a way to do this. I tried using sleep in a while loop but it causes the UI to hang.Looking around, the UTimer or some kind of periodic messaging to run triggers may work, but I don't know how to use those things.  Any thoughts? ------------------------------R TEmporerRocket Software Forum Member------------------------------

Hi Team, We recently migrated from Uniface v10.3 to v10.4, and after completing the migration and configuration setup, we've encountered an issue. The problem arises specifically when the application is accessed from outside the server (where the application is deployed). When executing the xmlload statement, the application crashes, and no logs are generated beyond that point. We have attached the relevant logs for reference. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or can provide insights into resolving this? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

After upgrading from windows 12 to windows 19 there is a 50% degradation in performance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a performance gain displaying lots of fields on a component. We have 3500 (100 columns x 35 rows) edit boxes on one frm.   It is quite clear the there is a direct relation between the number of widgets displayed on an frm and the speed to display the frm. ------------------------------Osman ShariffFreelance Uniface Consultant - FrancePrivate message me if you need help with a projectEnglish, French, German------------------------------

We currently installed the above-mentioned version of uniface. the release notes specified following update 10.4.03-009 : UNI-37534  -  Menu compiler crash but this correction does not solve the problem that the editor crashes (after a long time of waiting) when we want to edit the triggers.------------------------------Geert DupontZorgi NVMechelen BE------------------------------

Hi, It seems that the source argument of the $encode function has a size limit ? Do you know the maximum accepted size ? What workaround would you suggest for BASE64 encoding large files ( > 100 Mo) ?

I have a tab form. If the user makes a change to one of the fields and TABS ... then leaves the tab form - life is great. But, if they do not TAB, I need to force the validate trigger to fire.  So, I put a validateocc(entity) in the LoseFocus trigger of the tab form. It fires, does its calculations, but then I can never get out of the field that is being modified. I'm at a loss on what to try next.
