[U2] Uniobjects.net READU Question

Issue: When you do a READU on a record that doesn't exist, the first
time it fails and hits the exception, but the second read is successful
- even though the record still doesn't exist.

Why? Is this a bug?

           try

            {

                UniSession u=UniObjects.OpenSession("host", "login",
"passwd", "account", "uvcs");

                UniFile file=u.CreateUniFile("filename");

                file.UniFileLockStrategy =
UniObjectsTokens.UVT_EXCLUSIVE_READ;

                UniDynArray record;

                for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)

                {

                    try

                    {

                        record = file.Read("reckey");

RE: [U2] Spectrum Conference in Long Beach, CA- IBM U2 Certification testi ng

I learned the following from IBM & Spectrum today.

IBM testing will be offered free to conference attendees.
Thursday & Friday mornings from 9-12.
Note: published schedule says more, but hours had to be reduced.

Each test has a 90 minute limit.

Certification information can be found on the website at:
   http://www.ibm.com/certify/certs/dm_index.shtml#u2

These are the U2 certification tests available.
   U2 Family Application Development
      http://www-03.ibm.com/certify/certs/u2sefyad.shtml
   UniVerse V10.1 Administration
      http://www-03.ibm.com/certify/certs/u2seuva10.shtml
   UniVerse V9.6 Administrator

   UniData V5.2 Administrator

I *think* passing any of those allows you to bill yourself as an

[U2] Lists are back online

Hi folks,

Sorry for the interruption in the list traffic.  We had some technical
difficulties getting majordomo properly configured with demime and the
digests under the new security model.

It appears that things are functioning correctly now, and the digests should
start going out beginning this evening.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

The pre dot.net uniobjects did not have exceptions (more accurately, the
pre dot.net VB did not have exceptions) so you had to check the status.
I continued the practice in my dot net app partly out of habit but  also
because I read the documentation and saw that the status tests were
still supported.  I agree that it looks like there is a bug, but if the
code is robust you won't hit it.  You can send my sample in as a
workaround if you want -- it's definitely the way to go.

[U2] OT:Employment

Hi all,

If anyone knows of an open position in the Providence/Boston  area, I
would appreciate a heads up.  My company was bought  and I will soon be
out of a job.

Thanks

RE: [U2] OT:Employment

(Testing to see if I can respond to this forum again)
When a company buys a site with MV software, and the decision has been made
to trash everything already in place, it seems apparent that there wasn't a
lot of discussion on the matter.  Everyone assumes that's the best decision
because the people making the decisions only know one side of the equation.
People rarely take a position to champion the preservation of the MV app,
usually because the acquired IT people aren't talking with new management.

MV software and data can be integrated with that of a parent company.
There may not be a need to replace the system.  Integration rather than
migration should be high on the list of options, at least to start,
especially in today's world of Service Oriented Architecture where software
is Expected to do this sort of thing.  As IBM and other companies have
found, the MV solution may actually be the best available for the business.
Most of my clients are VARs rather than end-users, and I've heard a number
of stories of buy-outs where the MV app was trashed, only to be brought
back in years later when the new owners find out the company wasn't running
as smoothly as it was when the MV app was in place.

I'm not saying MV is always the best solution.  I've seen some really
rotten MV solutions and great software that wasn't MV-based.  But someone
needs to do a semi-impartial analysis to compare the systems of the new
owners with those of an acquired company.  If the MV software deserves to
go, so be it.  For anyone who faces losing their job, I'd recommend you try
to ensure that management has all the facts and knows their options - you
don't have a lot to lose.
