Hi all, In order to estimate the effort required to upgrade my customer's Uniface 7 & 8 applications to Uniface 10.4 , I'd like to ask your feedback on the number of person months that was required in order to upgrade your application to a major Uniface versions. For this purpose I've created a Google Forms poll in which you can enter the number of person months (0-3,4-6,7-9,10-12,13+) that were required to upgrade your application to a major Uniface version  (Uniface 9->10 , 8->9  ,  7->8 ). If you have directly migrated an application two or more Uniface major versions in one pass please share your experience. Please click here to participate in the poll. You are also welcome to enter your feedback as a response to this post if you find that more convenient. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi FreaksCurrently two developers are programmin on the same server by "remote desktop".The UnifAce-environment is the same but I do have have different shorcuts to IDE.EXE for them.I create  different ASN and INI*) files for both so that $user=a_name and IDE_STATE_a_name.zip are neatly separatedBut if the debugger is about to start, UnifAce always use UDB.CNF as the config file.Okay, I can modify UDBG.ASN to use another UDBG_a_name.CNF but this is only half the way.But I do not have any chance to tell IDE.EXE to call UDBG.EXE  with a modified commandline.So any idea to name the UDBG.CNF depending on the current user?Ingo PS *) is there any way to use a #FILE in a INI-File?

Hi FreaksThe question looks very simple, but ... :-)If a script container contains two parts, the "declartion" and the "script", a copy&paste of the whole container is not possible.Or better the copy takes all text into the clipboard.With the paste, all this text is under "declartion" and part "script"  in emptyAt least whenn you try to compile this component, yo got errors about wrong scopes.So, ist there an easy way to copy&past a whole containter from on component to another?Or is this [  ] a feature[  ] a bug[  ] who does such strange things[  ] we know it and will solve it[  ] we know it and will not solve it[  ] .......Ingo------------------------------Ingo StillerAareon Deutschland GmbH------------------------------

Hi, I have a weird issue with uniface 9.6.  When I try run a form for a particular record, Uniface crashes out ( Uniface 9 has stopped working).  But... when I run the same form with the same record in debug mode, I works fine. Has anyone seen this before?  What could be the cause./solution  Thanks for your help.

Solution available in patch(es):      10.4.02-052 Description:When the 'stmtcache' option is turned on some prepared statements are still not being cached. This means these statements need to be re-prepared every time. In addition, the way this caching was implemented had some unnecessary overhead. This overhead has been removed. As a consequence, the 'open statements' setting has lost its meaning. Uniface does not limit the number of cached statements anymore, this is now lef

Hi all, As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm working with a customer who is considering  modernizing old Uniface 7 & 8.4 applications.  In the scenario where these apps remain in Uniface, they will be migrated to Uniface 10.4. I would like to understand the available tools and effort involved in order to add a web interface to the most important screens in the applications, while leaving the rest of the screens as they are.  I saw a white paper describing some of such abilities in the new Uniface versions, but it appears rather vague. Is there a document that explains these abilities more technically? Could you share from your experience how you have added a web interface to old Uniface applications, what tools you found useful to speed up the process and how much effort was involved? Do you know if when modifying some screens of the Uniface app to be web based while not modifying other screens in the Uniface app - can both of these types of screens be accessed from the same virt

A) When you do have proc code on entity/field-level, the sidebar shows only operations/triggers.Please could also the local procs displayed here.Yes, they are (also) at componentg level But there is a reason why the proc code was written at LPME level: Structure and clarity :-) B) In UF 9 you could switch between layout => procode and UnifAce  automatically opens the appropriate proc-containerWould be nice to have too in UF 10Why: Sometimes it is easier to find a field on  the "surface" then in a deep nested structure list Ingo------------------------------Ingo StillerAareon Deutschland GmbH------------------------------

Hello,We would like to set up a mobile application. We followed the document written by Jason: https://www.rocketsoftware.com/sites/default/files/resource_files/Rocket_Uniface_MobileAppBuilder_Whitepaper_Oct2021_v5.pdf Option 1 with the use of external resources works well.  However, we're encountering a major session management problem with option 2. This method uses internal resources.In fact, for EACH ACTION (e.g. clicking on a button with a "Public Web"), the session number is modified. Whereas the session number is only supposed to be renewed after 30 minutes of inactivity. Maintaining the session number is imperative, as it enables us to store information. Ex: the logged-in user.The session number ($item("SESSION", $webinfo("WEBSERVERCONTEXT"))) does not change when the same DSP is opened with a web browser or with the cell phone with external resources. Do you know what could be causing this change in behavior?  Deployment environment :Windows 11Cordova 12SDK 34JDK 19Gradle 7.6

Patch 10.4.02-051 Downloads Product availability Matrix (PAM)Downloads of this patch are available from the Rocket Customer Support Portal.Further explanation can be found here. New Feature(s) The maximum number of characters allowed for Entry Formats, RegEx or Syntax string, in Field Syntax Definitions is extended to 192.  Note that the total number of characters used for Field Syntax definitions can not exceed 192 characters. Label position property can now be set using the IDE Widget Property form for UX Widgets: TextField, NumberField, TextArea and Select. It is advised to use the patch installer to upgrade your current installation so that you'll end up with the correct ini files. The IDE's Code Editor auto-complete suggestions will no longer be accepted using the "Enter" key, suggestions can still beauto-filled using the "Tab" key. The use of the "Enter" key for auto-completion can be re-activated by setting CompletionOnEnter=true in your '.ini' file, under the us

Hi FreaksNow that the biggest obstacles have been cleared away, I can take a closer look at the newer UnifAce versions.And I found this "10.4.02.045  :Feature: Format ProcScript, indentation corrections on entire code document"But how to activate?I'm selection a few line of code and use right mouse click:Not a single hint about formatting. I have also added the [userkeys] to our INI and USYS.INI: Nothing happens. What else needs to be activated for the formatting to work?BTW: I did upgrade UnifAce 10.4.2.0-018 to UnifAce 10.4.2.0-49 but just simple copying the UnifAce-PatchTIA Ingo------------------------------Ingo StillerAareon Deutschland GmbH------------------------------

Hello all, We are using the Uniface 10.3 and 10.4 IDE Utilities to build Deployment Archives for patches of our application. The Uniface Repository is kept in an Oracle Database. Since we has installed the latest patch (Rocket Uniface 10.4.02-050) the Deployment Archive tool is having problems. The error ORACLE Driver Error [-80]: Column has incorrect ORACLE storage format is shown. The expected storage format is not the same as the actual storage format. Changing the storage format from VARCHAR2 to CHAR for the UDESCR field in the table does not help. The same message occurs again. (See below). We were able to fill out the forms, but we were not able to create the actual UAR. It also happened that both forms were empty and no new definition could be created with the same name. When we looked in the database the information about the archives are available in the tables. Has anyone seen the same?

Hi everyone, My name is Yaki and I'm new here. I am working with a customer who is contemplating what to do with a couple of old Uniface applications that are still based on Uniface 7 & Uniface 8.4, as  these applications are based on an unsupported infrastructure and need to be modernized. I would appreciate feedback on: The Migration path involved  from Uniface 7 & 8.4 to the current Uniface 10.4 The complexity and sticking points of such a migration Is there still support for migrating from such old Uniface versions?  Feedback on your experience with Uniface migration services and its effectiveness, success  and cost-performance in such a migration scenario.   When conducting such a migration and modernization, are there any recommended products that need to be purchased that are not included in the Uniface 10.4 licenses? Feedback on migration services/tools that can facilitate an efficient migration of such applications  to non-Uniface environments Pointers to any useful r

Does anyone know why in the conversion from 10.3 to 10.4 some of the forms which used to fit correctly now display scroll bars and have to be resized and (more difficult to manage) a form I have with 4 small output boxes (Progress bar/indicator I want to update asynchronously), now covers the entire output box with a scroll bar unless I make it 2 rows deep? I have checked the 10.3 and 10.4 ini  files, and the font sizes for the canvas font, editfont and label are all the same (although in 10.4 they appear to be surrounded by "" where in 10.3 they are not. I can put up the export for the progress form if anyone wants to try it in their environment.  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesPci Systems LtdSheffield GB------------------------------

Hi FreaksI have just installed UnifAce 10.4.2.0-049 for testing.And the first problem was that encryption for internal, short-term critical content no longer worked. It turned out that $encode/$decode with "TWOFISH" now checks the key length more precisely. Instead of padding the key with zeros(?) the key length must be 16, 24 or 32.In UnifAce 10.4.2.0-018 it could be any key lengthBTW: The documentation about "Block Ciphers"  for UnifAce 10.4.2.0-049 also has a bug.In 10.4.2.0-018 there was still the superscript number 2) which indicated that the length will be padded.In 10.4.2.0-049 there is still a 2, but it is no longer clickable and no longer refers to an explanationIngo------------------------------Ingo StillerAareon Deutschland GmbH------------------------------
