Faxing from Forte
We have an application from which we'd like to send faxes. We would
ideally like to send in the fax number, recipient info, and maybe some
cover page text and have the fax go out automatically. Another requirement
is that we'd need to be able to do this over a network since only the
server will have a fax modem. I know that there are numerous fax software
packages out there that act as printers (under windows) where we could then
use the Forte printing facilities to send the fax. I'm not sure, however,
how we would go about passing in the parameters and having the fax go out
automatically. Usually a dialog box will come up allowing the user to
enter the fax #, etc.
Does anyone out there know of a good fax package that might support
something like this (maybe using OLE?) or one that has an API that we might
be able to hook into from Forte? If you have done this kind of thing
before in any manner I would also be interested in that.
Thanks,

fax system is GammaLink. They supply various types of fax boards and
development tool kits which can be called via from Forte via C API's. The
vendor URL is:
http://www.gammalink.com
The fax clients containing the fax boards and GammaLink software can be
deployed on a Forte node over the network. The fax boards generally expect
to receive graphics in TIF3 graphics format, although other formats may be
possible via conversion capabilities within the product.
This may be overkill for what you are looking for, but it should be a good
source to get you started in the area of requirements and reference information.
Good luck, and please let me know if you require any follow-up information.

[email protected][email protected]-I've never done this but I think MS-MAPI might be a good solution.
Sure, it's not platform independent, since it will only work on NT,
but it is fax-gateway independent. MAPI is an interface to several
messaging systems (mail, RFC's, fax, etc.) regardless of what
kind of implementation is behind it.

RE : Who would benefit from Forte?
RE : Jerry Fatcheric's message about "Who would benefit from Forte?"
With regards the point mentioned in the attached message from Jerry
Fatcheric below, I would like to illustrate my point. I implemented in both
Visual Basic and Delphi, the example that is mentioned in the attached
message, about a browser application, having the capability to browse
thousands of records with the inital screenful needing to come ASAP. It took
me less than 2 minutes to implement this in VB (I timed it). Just threw a
"remote data" control and a "DBGrid" control on a form, set a few properties
and wrote a "select *" sql specifying that only 30 records be returned at a
time. For a table with 4K records, the first 30 came in and got displayed in
less than 2 seconds. In Delphi, the response was even better and whole 4K of
record could be retrieved in less than 4 second. (Yes less than 4 seconds
for retrieving 4000 records from a DB2/NT database running on a remote
machine). Even I could not believe the performance of Delphi which I haven't
used that much. These tools are THE fastest way to get the data from a
database server to a windows client. These will perform any day better than
FORTE. One of the problem that I came across FORTE in one of situations like
this was data movement across nodes is very costly. In one of our
applications, since we stored the data as objects, in a similar situation as
you have mentioned, the performance of moving a lot of data form the server
to the client was not very good and in consulation with FORTE technical
support we had to convert the data in objects to scalar (delimited string),
move across node, and convert the data back to object at a client.
Performance increase - 40 secs. vs 120 secs. earlier.
About my background. I have worked about 8 years in application development
and for the past 4 years have been working in a client server environment.
Being a consultant, I have used many tools, including FORTE for one year, to
provide my clients with the most bang for their buck, which to me is the
topmost priority as a Consultant. I do not decide for my clients what
technology they should use but sure evaluate the various options they have
and recommend more than one solutions, listing the advantages and
disadvantages.
Currently working on coming up with a solution for a client with a customer
service application need with around 50 users now, scaling up to 100 users
in the future. The best solution that I could come up with was a logical
3-tier with the presentation and the business layer running on NT
workstation (client) and the database on NT server (server). With all the
processing on a powerful and healthy (not "fat") client the system, I feel
can scale very well. For a 500 user system, you literally have 500
application server (physically on the client machine) being served by one
data server. To the data server, having a physical middle tier between the
client and the data server, I feel would not help, at least in our
situation. Almost everything that the middle tier could do to reduce the
load on the data server can be handled by the "business layer" running on
the client machine. It does mean that each user connects to the database
directly so in a case of 500 user, there are 500 connections to the database
but lately with the sophisticated DBMS, this is no longer an issue. The DBMS
can manage this many user very economically (read the benchmark about SQL
server with 5000, yes 5k user at "www.microsoft.com/sql") and almost as well
as a middle tier. It is fault tolerant - nothing can bring down the system
except a client failure, the data server failure or a network failure, the
same failure points as a N-Tier solution unless you are replicating or
duplicating the database. In our solution our application is as scaleable as
the database is, and the databases available today are very scaleable if you
look at the current database technology offerings.
As you may have guessed the abovementioned solution is cheaper with a very
fast "time to market" than a forte solution (we started this about 6 months
back and are in production for the past 1 month). This may not have all the
features that FORTE offers, but for our purposes and I feel in similar
applications, what we got was what we needed. By no means, this is going to
meet all information tecnology needs for everyone and in many situations I
believe FORTE would be well suited than any other tool.
I still use FORTE can would continue to do so for some of the solutions that
we develop, but I do not think that one shoud be using FORTE for "any
development that is bigger than a breadbox" as Mr. Fatcheric suggests in the
attached message, simply because if I do that, than I think that in some
cases I would be selling the user a tank when the user just needs a rifle.
I consider giving my clients the most value for their money in getting this
solution developed. I would suggest my clients FORTE when I think they needs
them but would definitely suggest another solution if I think that they can
get their solution developed and get more value for their money using some
other tool. Towards this end I would like to find out what kind of solutions
people are developing and what kind of performance they are getting
specially related to Windows platform.
Any information about the benefits (actual benefits) you are getting from
FORTE would be highly appreciated which would let a lot of us decide when to
use FORTE and when not to use FORTE to meet ours and our clients'
everchanging information technology needs.

Accessing AS/400 data from Forte
Dear Forte Users,
How are you accessing data stored on your AS/400 from Forte running on a
Unix node?
Here at CIBA Vision we would like to see the AS/400's physical files
(which I believe are DB2 tables) from Forte on an HP-UX 10.20 node as a
database (i.e. be able to use a DBSession object) and be able to select,
insert, update, and delete from them . Is there a simple solution like
make a DB2 resource manager on the HP-UX node and tell it to connect to
the AS/400 (I wish it were that easy). I've only researched two ways
that it could be done so far and haven't actually proven that either one
of them works (or performs) yet:
1) Use Oracle's "Transparent Gateway" to make the AS/400 look like an
Oracle remote database
2) Use Intersolv's (now Merant's) ODBC to make the AS/400 look like an
ODBC data source
IBM's Client Access 400 comes with a DLL under Windows that uses this to
make the AS/400 look like an ODBC data source. From researching Client
Access I know the AS/400 has a TCP/IP listener running on port 8471 (the
AS/400 calles it port "as-database"). What is this listener -- IBM
makes this sound like an ODBC listener? Is this an ODBC listener and if
so can any ODBC client talk to this server? Unfotunately Client Access
is only available on Windows platforms and using NT as our application
server is out of the question. IBM referred me to StarQuest, a company
who makes Client Access for Unix. However, the salesman there was
unsure if they had replicated all of the PC Client Access (including
the ODBC shared library). However, they did say they were working on
making a Unix ODBC driver that talked to the AS/400 in RDMA (or
something like that -- the DB2 native language).
Any help or insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Subject: Calling COBOL from Forte
We have a large complex COBOL program that we've purchased that we
currently run on our mainframe system. We are in the process of re-writing
our system into FORTE but we want to keep this COBOL program. This COBOL
program would need to be called from FORTE and it in turn would need to
call FORTE methods. The interface between FORTE and COBOL would be done by
passing large data structures as parameters containing both Character and
Integer data fields. Can this be done since I'm not looking forward to
having to re-write this entire program in FORTE?
David Wilbur email: [email protected]

-----------------------------------------------Another alternative is to use the ExternalConnection class (in the
Framework project).
This would entail developing a "COBOL Function Server" on the mainframe to
"serve" the COBOL functions. I don't know if you can use COBOL for that,
but you should be able to use C, or PERL, or some other scripting language
that you can code a simple socket listener with on the mainframe.
This server would listen for requests to execute a COBOL function at a
designated port, call the COBOL function, and return its results via the
socket. On the Forte side you would use ExternalConnection to connect to,
send requests, and receive responses from the COBOL server. You can also
have a Forte server listen in on another port for requests from the COBOL
program and "serve" it Forte functions.
You would, in essence, be developing a COBOL/Forte gateway.
You would need to think about a simple application protocol to make the
requests/responses work. Something based on paramter=value pairs should
work well, is simple to code for, and simple to synchronize. For example :
request=get_employee_data
employee_no = 12345
<end_of_request>
request=produce_payroll_report
report_no=1705
format_no=1001
output_to=xyz
<end_of_request>
ExternalConnection class is a great way to create general Forte interfaces
to external systems. It does require some setting up, but is is worth the
effort.
Hope this helps.

There are a lot of other middleware supported by Forte like
ObjectBroker&DCE but COBOL is not supported directly by these productseither.

I am not aware of what kind of processing your COBOL and Forte apps

Hi all,
We are considering the use of DCE RPC with Forte.
I know that it is possible to both call-in and call-out to DCE from
Forte, and we are primarily interested in calling out, i.e.
presenting an existing set of DCE RPCs as methods in a virtual Forte
service object to be invoked by Forte clients. What we would like to
know is:-
In this scenario, what would be used as the interacting mechanism
between the Forte client and the virtual service object containing
the DCE RPCs? Would it be DCE instead of Forte messaging?
Am I correct to think that we won't be able to use Forte features
such as load balancing, fail-over, and asynchronous method invokation
on this virtual service object? Are there any other Forte features
which we won't be able to utilize?
Anyone can share their experiences on this subject?

Michael Chiu.Michael,
In this scenario where Forte is front-ending the DCE functions
with a service object, the Forte clients would use standard Forte
messaging to send messages to this Forte partition which in turn
would use DCE messaging to call-out to your DCE services. Given
that, the Forte clients could still use the benefits of Forte
messaging such as async, load balance, etc.

Hi all,
We are considering the use of DCE RPC with Forte.
I know that it is possible to both call-in and call-out to DCE from
Forte, and we are primarily interested in calling out, i.e.
presenting an existing set of DCE RPCs as methods in a virtual Forte
service object to be invoked by Forte clients. What we would like to
know is:-
In this scenario, what would be used as the interacting mechanism
between the Forte client and the virtual service object containing
the DCE RPCs? Would it be DCE instead of Forte messaging?
Am I correct to think that we won't be able to use Forte features
such as load balancing, fail-over, and asynchronous method invokation
on this virtual service object? Are there any other Forte features
which we won't be able to utilize?
Anyone can share their experiences on this subject?
Cheers

HP 6310 AIO Printer locks up and needs to be power-cycled when faxing from my PC.
I have an HP 6310 AIO Printer; Whenever I try to fax a document from my PC, the printer locks up (All lights flashing) and needs to be power-cycled. I can fax from the printer glass directly but unable to from my PC. Also the software communicates properly whenever I am scanning from the glass or feed tray. What would make it locks up and all light flashing? it seems as if whenever I generate the fax or scan from the PC end it locks up the printer.
Completely reload the full feature software and drivers for the printer.

Fax from computer to photosmart 7525 gets cancelled after spooling
I can fax directly from printer, but when I use the HP software or print function on the computer to set up fax and send, the progress goes from spooling to cancelled without any error notices. I have a Dell XPS 8500 running 8.1 and Photosmart 7525 connected by USB and wirelessly. They communicate just fine with the scan and print functions. Both are current on updates using the check for updates utility. I have a dedicated Voip phone line from Comcast and ther most current modem that I have slowed through the fax settings. I've spent hours reading forums on HP and Microsoft searching for exactly this issue. Please help
Hi @xskilledtrades
The truth is, I don't know what is causing the fax from computer function to fail. I understand from your description that the fax is cancelling after spooling, but that you can print and scan just fine as well as fax directly from the printer. I suspect the issue has something to do with the driver, thus I suggest we remove the driver and reload it.
Please use the following steps to delete the printer/fax from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
If the you continue to get an 'in use' message follow the steps in the document here; The Specified Printer Driver is Currently in Use
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Cannot send fax from my mac after upgrading to yosemite
I used to be able to send a fax from my Macbook Pro by using Preview and then printing the PDF to the fax capability on my Laserjet colorMFP M475dn.
After installing OS X Yosemite:
a dialog told me that "Some of the software for the printer is missing."
When I clicked the button to install, it then said "You need to install software to use this printer... If the software isn't available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer"
Then I downloaded .dmg files for both the laserjet and officejet (I also have a photosmart I use for scanning)
I deleted the printers and tried to re-add them
When I re-add the laserjet, fax does not show up on the Printer list.
How do I get the fax driver to install on OS X Yosemite?
This question was solved.
View Solution.My apologies for keeping you informed about reset printing system.
i have attached the screen which tells where the Use option is.
also on the screen where it displays the list of printers wait for few seconds and see if it detects the Fax. It took approx 20sec for me.

Deploying a JAR file from Forte
I have written an application using the Forte CE IDE. Now I want to deploy it to other PCs running JRE1.3, so I used the JAR packager to create a JAR file and I ensured the manifest had the Start class specified. Unfortunately, when I try to run this application via the command line on either another machine or my own (outside of Forte), I get the message
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: <start class name>
I have used the "java -jar" command.
The start class is in the jar file.
The start class name is in the manifest.
I must have missed something, and I am at my wits end.
Has anyone else had similar problems deploying applications from Forte? Or can anyone offer advice or a link to some comprehensive documentation on how to accomplish deployment? The help function in Forte was no help at all.
Thanks.Are you sure that there is a newline after your lines in the manifest?

HP Officejet Pro 8600 fax from computer will not fax more than one page without canceling job
HP Officejet Pro 8600 MFP running on Windows 7 64 bit. I purchased this printer almost a month ago. The install was simple and straight forward with no apparent problems but when trying to fax from computer the program seems to be only able to fax one page faxes. Any multiple page faxes will show a message "spooling" for 10 to 15 seconds then it will cancel the entire fax. I have tried this in both wired and wireless modes with the same results. I have sent 30 page plus faxes from the printer without any problems, it is only the fax from computer that seems to have memory issues. Any solutions out there?
Have you tried updating the firmware on the printer?
If not, here is a link to the most recent firmware:

Try that and let me know if it helps to resolve your issue.
Best of luck,

Laserjet M 1530 MFP fax from pc not working
I installed the full driver for the Laserjet M1530 MFP on my Windows 8.1 PC and printing, copying, scanning and manual faxing (directly from the unit) all work fine.
This unit is connected to my PC via a USB cable, although I am connected to my company's network.
What I cannot do is fax from my PC, either a test page or a document from, say, Word.
I applied the IE11 fix, since I have Internet Explorer 11, and upgraded the firmware to the latest version, but still no luck.
The error message I get states that the unit is either off or disconnected, which it isn't.
Can anyone help?Hi @gillesofi ,
I see that you are having issues sending faxes from the computer. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
I wasn't sure what fix you tried, but I see that you are using Internet explorer 11. It is possible that the shell interface of the HPsendfax app. uses the IE build. I know the HP Software Piggy Backs Internet Explorer. With the newer version of IE it could possible be interfering. Any version below IE 11 should be fine.
Make sure the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. (not a hub or docking station)
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software to make sure there isn't any interference.
Check to make sure the fax driver is installed. Access the Device Manager window.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?.How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
If the there are any yellow exclamation marks or unknown devices listed for the printer, right click and update the driver.
You might have to click the + marks to check each section. Sometimes it is listed under Universal Serial Bus Controllers or Print Queues.
Was the fax listed in the Device Manager window?
How was it listed?
Your welcome to send a screen shot if you like.
Try faxing again from the computer.
Have you tried faxing from the HP Toolbox Software? (error message)
You might have to uninstall the HP Software and reinstall it again.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Perform a clean boot on the computer. This will prevent most third-party programs from interfering with the software installation, since some third-party programs can provoke this issue. Here is some information on how to perform a clean boot: Performing a Clean Boot in Windows. Temporarily turn off any Antivirus software.
Download, save and run the newest software available. HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
Try to fax again.
There is a FAX4Word plugin for Word. It allows easy print/merge to FAX machines. Other posters have used this as a substitute. This is just a work around till we can figure out why you are not able to fax from the software or third party software.
I have provided the steps for changing the settings in the ToolboxFX to receive faxes to this computer for future use, if you decide to do this. To turn it off you can do this from the printer's control panel, page 127. Laserjet M1536.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.
