Uniface Anywhere and Windows Server 2016

Author: jraymond@empowersis.com (jraymond)

Looks like the path variable is set by Uniface Anywhere on Windows server 2016. This means that any custom paths set on the system is over written. I tried to set it by a login script as well and it was not used there or was over written. Opening a command prompt and setting the path to what i want worked for that command prompt but did not help any other applications i attempted to open through Uniface Anywhere. This prevents Uniface Application that use Oracle from working as the dll is not found. Is there a solution in the works? Is there a work around?

A workaround to this issue is could be: Create a start cmd file for Uniface that will extend the local path. ----------example uniface.cmd------------------------------------ @echo off setlocal path=%PATH%;c:\\oracle\\product\\11.2.0\\client_1\\bin;c:\\oracle\\product\\10.2.0\\client_1\\bin c: cd \\jti-9702 start /MAX /WAIT C:\\U9702\\common\\bin\\uniface.exe /adm=c:\\u9702\\uniface\\adm /ini=c:\\UA-9702\\_usys.ini /asn=c:\\UA-9702\\_usys.asn UA %username% %userdomain% :QUIT Endlocal --------------------end example uniface.cmd-------------------------- Place this command file on the Uniface Anywhere Host and make sure that all users can read access this file. Publish within Uniface Anywhere Cluster Manager this command file as: Executable path: C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe Start Directory: C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ Command-Line Options: /c c:\\testapp\\uniface.cmd In the command file there is the /WAIT statement. If it is removed, than the command box will be closed directly after starting Uniface.
