So in seeing a few posts on U2UG.org website about uniobjects and seeing that they don't appear to be interested in creating a web or uniobject specific forum, I decided to share what I know on how to handle data using UniObjects. Below I show opening and reading a file using the LIST command, writing to a unifile and running a subroutine. My opinion of uniobjects is that it is very fast for web sites. Check out www.keepsakequilting.com. This is a website I labored long and hard on for a... [More]

A little history, read my sco posting about my previous headaches. This is happening with the same customer. They purchased a new server and have Red Hat Linux 6.0 Enterprise now instead of SCO. Universe 10.2 is working much faster and now fully supports connection pooling. We developed a new website for this customer using .Net 2.0 and UniObjects.Net. We're finally ready to go live with it so we switch it live. The site runs great for a few then the w3wp.exe process cranks up in v... [More]

This is sucked from IBM document Q00764, don't hold me responsible if this doesn't work. If there is an issue, check permissions to the temp folder. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><configuration></configuration> You can modify the app.config (or web.config in a web application) file to turn on the UO.NET client trace log. Here is the sample setting to set the trace level to 4. The log file name is c:\temp\myListener.log. <?xml version="1... [More]

SCO, blargh. My customer has a SCO server version 5.0.7 which hosts their Universe 10.1 database. We attempted to enable connection pooling by upgrade UV to 10.1.17 (10.2 isn't supported on SCO). Upgrade went well, then connection pooling hurt bad. Kept getting error after error. I spent two weeks with IBM's engineers troubleshooting this, hours and hours of phone support. Finally, this past Friday night around 8PM IBm decided to give up on SCO and gave us an eval 100 licenses to run the site... [More]

But then again, I usually do make unreasonable demands. I've used UniObjects (UO) before it became UniObjects.Net (UO.Net) with Classic ASP. I found it simple to use and understand with files and sub routines in ASP. With the introduction of .Net things got a little more complicated to say the least. I was honetly expecting UO.Net to return my data in a dataset or something the .Net list controls would like, but noooooo. Lists of data is returned from UO.Net as either a DynamicArray (UniD...

So, in my endeavors of finishing my three week late project for a customer, I ran into a snag, rather a wall. When trying to write to universe (uv) using uniobjects.net (uo) the browser returns the following error: Server Application Unavailable The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable.  Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request. Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific r... [More]
