Hello together,we would like to integrate RabbitMQ into our Uniface programs in order to send/receive messages to/from non-uniface applications. Does anybody of you guys has any experience with that and wants to share it with me?Thank you in advance,Michael.

I am looking at having our remote sites feed back statistics on client licence usage over the preceding month, so we can track usage and suggest increased licences where appropriate. To that end, I've been looking at the umfilter option to output a licence usage log. However, it does not appear that the command line help (or the online help) gives me the correct usage for the date filters. I am trying umfilter -d 7188@localhost -o c:/tmp/dlm2.csv -feat UCLIENT -usage -sdate09/01/2019 -edate09/30/2019 With and without spaces after the sdate/edate, but the output appears to start in february (possibly the start of the log file?). Any clues anyone? Iain

Hello, We have a service that creates one container form A and a contained form B, then activate an operation of A to put the instance of B in the container field.There is a lot more around (calling other services, which create other forms, displayed in various containers).And sometime (not always, not reproductible every time) the contained form B closes itself at the end of the process.I tried comparing trace when form B stay opened and when it close, but except the fact that it closes, I can't find any relevant difference.And when it closes, the instance's reference still exists in the A container.My question is : What can cause the stop in the contained form. If you have any hint, thanks for your helpThanks in advanceYves

Hi all,Short of writing a 3gl function to do this.....I'm processing a number of txt files - and every now and then I come across a control characterwhich causes good ol' Uniface to have a hissy fit.The control character in question is HEX 0x1a - Ascii 26. I've tried a $replace in combination with $tometa (result in a $2) - no joy..Any other ideas out there?Knut

$password now returns encrypted stringThe $password function has been enhanced to return an encrypted password. Prior to these releases, the $password function returned the value of password as plain text.  The encryption provided for $password thus adds an extra encryption layer.Uniface transparently handles encryption and decryption of $password. The open statement still accepts $user,  $password and plain text as parameters.This change in the behavior $password can cause compatibility issues if you have Proc code that is expecting unencrypted passwords. Therefore, before releasing the patch to your users, check and correct the application logic.

On the questions, the object related menu has no hyperlinks for comment/edit/delete/...which doesn't allow any maintenence.Is this only for my profile or do others experience the same?

Hi freaksJust found an awful bug or a great feature, I don't know ...Say, there are 500 rows in database under a given profileRow 200 may be locked by an update on databaseNow retrieve all rows in UnifAce with the profile.UnifAce will read up to 199 rows and then return.$status is positiv 199 and not -11 for a locked row.Okay, if the hitlist is shown to a customer, the is maybe a nice thing.But under the hood as a service programm is very dangerous to go on without notification.Is this a bug or a feature?How to check, if there are more rows to come?And no, I don't want to lock all rows that I read just to check if the hitlist is completed or notIngoPS: UnifAce 9.704 on MS SQL

Hi FreaksWe have to use ERiC (Requirement by german tax authority)A customer could have several ERiC-dll's on its computer. (Different environments like test and production)Not the problem, as I add the correct path the the DOS-path before loading of the DLL.This way, a customer can set the path without using the ASN-File / user_3glAll is implemented and works well, but ...Now a costomer do have a separated ERiC installation not in our scope.This installation modified the PATH variable wich will set on stratup of windowsAs I add our path to the end of PATH, UnifAce will load the wrong DLL grumbel Adding to the front could have impact to other thingsIs there any way to tell UnifAce at runtime from inside the proccode which DLL to load?$signatureproperties will be a candidate for this, but unfortunatly, ths function works only for SOAP-signaturesYes, I do have a workaround:user "[user_3gl]" with /preload, but this is then fix in the ASN-File and not variableAny idea?Ingo

Hi FreaksI need a good idea 🙂Having a "simple" READ-trigger like thiscall SO_READ("")IF($status<0) RETURN($status)..do some code ..Where in SO_READ is the "read" statement and "a little bit more"After the read, there is a security check, if our if not the clerk should see the row.If not, a simple DISCARD kick the row awayA simple was to handle this kind of requirement.BUT   (Yes Ingo again with BUT)The DISCARD triggers the READ-trigger again without leaving SO_READ before.After around 100 DISCARDs : "Runtime error: Proc stack overflow"One solution would be to return a DoDiscard-Flag and do the DISCARD directly in READ-triggerBut then I have to do so in hundreds of programms, sometime with code after SO_READ.A simple search and replace is not appropriate.My first thought was to set a global flag, leave the inner SO_READ, fetch the flag in outer SO_READ and then do the rest of the job.Now the code after SO_READwill do

Hello all,Is anyone here working in an organisation with a reasonable size development team and following processes on the more agile side of things?If so, how are you tackling things like continuous integration and continuous deployment? My (limited) experience of Uniface to date is only one person can work in the same area at anyone time, let alone automated build and deployment.If anyone has any advice/experience on setting up continuous integration and deployment?Thanks!

Logon to TCP path that includes space after colon fails since patch 012 for Uniface 9.7.05/10.3.01When a TCP path includes a space after the colon of the driver (i.e. TCP:) then the logon will fail when using the patch 9.7.05.012/10.3.01.012 (and higher).For example: [PATHS] $wally1 TCP: host+13097|user|pass|asvWhen Uniface tries to open the path $wally1 the following error is returned: Logon (TCP: host+13097|******|******|asv) failed with status -18, Failed to connect to URouterIn case the space is removed then everything is working as expected.Using a space after a colon in a TCP path is the workaround recommended for Issue 31860 (Scrambled path descrambled as garbage when double parentheses follow a colon). The mentioned issue has been fixed in the meantime with the patch 9.7.05.025 and 10.3.02.012. In case a scrambled path is used, as described in the mentioned issue, then it is recommended to upgrade to a patch level where the mentioned problem is resolved (i.e. >= 9

Blog by Peter LammersmaFor today’s businesses, they say, data is more important than ever. I don’t agree with the ‘today’ part: data always has been businesses’ most important asset, and always will be. There is a difference between now and back then, though. The IT landscape is now extremely dynamic and reliant on innovative IT. Dependence on technology leads to enormous growth of data and, at the same time, of the number of attacks on the data. Can a potential risk be turned into a business opportunity? During our second workshop / ‘pizza session’ of 2019 we answered that question. Before I explain how, we need to look at the cause of the growth of security problems. Although we all think security problems will never happen to us, investments in security were never higher than they are today.  Return on security investment is one of the key figures that management uses to steer the business.Client/ServerWe feel safe with ‘good old&

Now that the Global Search is back in the U10 development environment via the ADDITIONS.UAR. Daniel Iseli informed me that the way to get the 'Line No' and 'Line' columns to populate in the results is to use the 'Advanced search' option. I thought that option was only if you wanted to either use the 'Match whole word only' and/or 'Match case' – neither of which I ever used/needed.  Since I had never used the 'Advanced search', I just assumed the 'Line No' and 'Line' columns weren't displaying because of either something I misconfigured or was unavailable due to some other issue. Now I know better, I am sharing this information with the community. There may be other situations or opportunities for others to also report/share items that are similar in nature that isn't an intuitive part of how we are using Uniface on a daily basis.Regards,Larry

Hi everyone, our team has just started developing in U9.7, first of all porting our main applications from 9.6 to 9.7: in my PC and in every colleagues one we had the same issue, we miss some icon/gliph in IDF that it make it almost unusable:They all are clean installations made by downloading U9.7 from uniface website, platform tested with same issue are windows10 and windows2008. We have tryed to reload the uniface defaults from U9705\\uniface\\misc\\udefault.xml file and to patch IDF to 9.7.05.021: nothing changedthanks for any ideaSimone
