Re: Display Issue with app running on iPad
Frederik Soete
Hi Graham, I am working from home, and did not really get to witness all the XPA+Xcode troubles, but I have just now received a reaction from a co-worker who was involved in working around the issue.
I had already heard font 1 in the fonts table is really important: it must be a certain way, as mentioned in some help file entry ("For mobile devices, the font of the form must be Microsoft Sans Serif size 8."). - In his latest message, he says they worked around the issue by leaving this important font 1 as mentioned (so Microsoft Sans Serif size 8 in the fonts table). - All mobile form models have this font 1 as font entry. - In the programs' code all form fonts were changed to ANOTHER newly created font: a new font is used that is 10 points instead of 8 points, so inheritance is broken (apparently changing the model to this new font did not work). This has an effect on the form size in runtime. - All other display element fonts were reduced by 2 points in the fonts table. Apparently this gave a better result, he says. Another co-worker mentioned this was not entirely satisfactory to the customer: as the fonts appeared a bit too small, maybe the 2 point reduction is a bit too drastic, and a 1 point reduction could do; he also said some other display elements needed to be changed, because they still referred to font 1. I have not seen photos of the effect on the forms, and my colleagues still hope to later find a better solution. So, HTH / YMMV / whatever acronym you prefer ;-) Bye, Frederik Soete

Hi Wes,

Yes, i have manual tab order, and the button is not the last park-able control. I change the button so it become the last park-able control and that cause the cursor park on new window as like that I want. Bingo !

Do you have automatic or manual tab order? if manual, make sure the button you click on is the last park-able control

Unipass / xpa and ram usage
Tim Downie
Hi
In unipass we had a program that would loop doing http calls returning an xml blob and writing data into SQL. Slowly unipassruntime.exe would use RAM - around 1.9gb usage the engine would crash.
In 3.2e it appears to use RAM but then peridodically clean itself up - however today this has failed and the mgxparuntime has crashed.
"<192054909090559808> 27/05/2020 15:20:20.748 [Error ] - [MgGui.dll] System.OutOfMemoryException :"
Can any one shed any light on this - something to do with either http calls or heavy blob processing doesnt relasese memory , im updating the blob to null() every cycle.
I was hoping this problem was solved for good moving to 3.2e.

Storing Emoji's
Graham White
Hi all,
We have written an app that retrieves SMS’s from our provider and stores them in the our database. This works fine except when the SMS message contains an emoji or similar which comes through in the form of \uD83D\uDE03. Is there any way to store the actual emoji within a pervasive field and display back it so that it looks exactly how it was sent?
Regards
Graham White

Re: Nasty Locking-Problem magic 8.30 and PSQL8
David
I see. We never had such issues before, and even if this functionality seems basic to me it is probably not necessary in most cases.
You are right with the network issue, but to make the customer undestand his network is the problem will be a bigger task than making the watchdog.. since they have no such effects on other software or on the hardware. The database seems just more sensitive Since it's not happening all the time it should be enough to make a "kill on demand" instead of a watchdog. Thank you so far.

Re: Nasty Locking-Problem magic 8.30 and PSQL8
David, Unfortunately, no such global timeout mechanism exists, even in current the version (v14), but if it continues to present a serious problem and you're unable to get your customer to address the network issues (obviously, the preferred solution), you could always roll your own watchdog. It would certainly be possible, even in Magic v8.3 using MG_OCX.DLL, to develop such functionality utilizing the Pervasive Distributed Tuning Object's Monitor object (DTO.Monitor). In a nutshell, I would record logins and logouts in a table, and then, from time to time, check that list of active users with a list of active users obtained from DTO.Monitor and, when a user is found to be missing, use DTO.Monitor to disconnect the user's session. Such disconnect action also has the effect of releasing any locks the user might hold, as well as rolling back any transactions. You might have to supplement with ping or somesuch along with DTO, but it all seems do-able. Steve Blank

Hello Steven
Thank you for your reply. I did the mentioned steps already. I controlled the clients today and made sure it's activated also there. I will see tomorrow if it helps. I also raised the connection timeout hoping it helps to reconnect (standard is 15 sec...) Sadly I think it will be the ID-Problem you mentioned and it would make the Auto-reconnect not the solution I'm looking for. If only I could set a timeout after inactivity for the lock (or whole connection).... regards David

Re: Nasty Locking-Problem magic 8.30 and PSQL8
Pervasive Auto Reconnect (PARC) has to be enabled in the PCC on both sides, client and server. On the server, in Configure Local Engine: and on the client workstation, in Configure Microkernel Router: I recommend enabling PARC on the server and leaving it that way, then enabling it only on the problematic client(s) as needed. Unfortunately, PARC isn't always able to reconnect a client,
depending on whether or not the client continues to the use same
16-byte ClientID in its calls to the Btrieve API. In other words,
if Magic crashes, the next time Magic starts up, it will gen
another random ClientID and the server won't be able to match the
returning client with an abandoned session. Typically, if Magic
reports the lost communication, it's already gone too far to
successfully reconnect. PARC is only designed to Band-Aid
momentary network drops and, when successful, should prevent any
such errors from even appearing in Magic. Did you enable PARC on both sides and restart Pervasive Services on the server? Steve Blank

Nasty Locking-Problem magic 8.30 and PSQL8
David
Hello
A customer is using magic 8.30 application with PSQL 8 (Btrieve) and we have some nasty connection problems. From time to time (sadly more often lately) the customer network has connection drops... long enough to make the application struggle. It closes with an "connection to host", fetch error or Fatal Error message. Wouldn't be a problem if after restarting erverything would work... but we then have a deadlock... the record which was opened stays locked and never resolves.. The only help so far was to 1. reboot the server or 2. delete the user in the pervasive monitor. Is there a setting or something to prevent those deadlocks? a timeout maybe? I'm tired of having my sleep stolen to kill a user in a database monitor.... The Auto-reconnect setting doesn't seem to work or change anything... Would be glad if someone know this issue and has a solution for it :) or something to resolve those locked records by script? Restarting the server is not an option while several user work with the application Kind regards

Hi Graham,

Some of my co-workers are updating an app from xpa 3.2 to xpa 3.3 because they need to use a new Xcode version for publishing it. They experience the same form sizing issue as you did in february. We would like to know if you have found some solution to the issue? Thanks in advance, Frederik Soete

Re: Locked out of studio with msg I've never seen before
John, Glad you got it sorted. As you noted, the uniPaaS v1.9 Studio must be run in administrator mode in modern operating systems, if it was installed in the default location (%ProgramFiles(x86)%). Steve Blank

Re: Locked out of studio with msg I've never seen before
Santana John
Hi, Steve, Thanks for your help. The mglock.dat files I had already cleaned up. I had not thought of the .lock files. I found one that looked like it might be suspect, and removed it, but got the same error. Tried several things, and then, whistling in the dark, I tried opening uniPaaS in administrator mode, and, presto, that worked. I then tried opening it again not using admin, and that works also. So maybe a file that I removed fixed it and there was a delay before the task read the change, or as usual, I got lucky. Back to work, now. And I again thank you for your help. John
