Fortis and Citrix

I use my MacBook for work by logging in remotely through Citrix into a Windows environment. My screens come up from my remote server as if I am using Windows. My Outlook and desktop screens work fine as well as a program called eTime. However, I have one application called Fortis, that is used to convert faxes into screens that can be seen on the computer, that I always have trouble with. It seems that when I logout of my remote system, that program always gets "hung up". I have to call my tech support at work to cancel my hung session of fortis every morning in order to be able to get into the program. My coworkers that use PCs don't seem to have this issue. The operating system on my Mac is Mac OS X 10.5.6. When I called Mac support prior to buying a computer, they assured me that all the programs I use for work would be fine for use with a Mac. I'm so frustrated. Anyone have any solutions? I appreciate the help!

This isn't a Mac issue...this is either an issue w/Fortis or with Citrix. I suggest you download the latest Citrix client, and if it still doesn't work, contact Citrix support.

Re: Forte and Dialup PPP connections

Subject: Forte and Dialup PPP connections
Priority: normal
Reply-to: "Dexel Durban" <[email protected]>
We want to run Win 95 on our client forte machines. Currently we're
using Forte v2.0E and MS TCP/IP.
Everything works fine in the LAN enviroment, however these client
machines have to run at remote sites, and therefore will need to use
modems with dialup PPP links.
The catch with the dialup procedure is that they will dial into a box
which verifies their username/password and then dials them back (for
security reasons) and sets up the PPP conection.
The only software that seems capable of setting up a PPP connection
after someone dialing your machines, is a product called Fastlink which
we're using.
After we've set up the PPP connection and run forte it works 100%,
however if we come out and run forte again - it can't establish the
connection to the host.
What we've deduced from this is that possibly :
1) MS TCP/IP isn't cleaning up after itself after the first
connection
2) The problem lies with Fastlinks ODI driver.
My questions are :
1) Has anyone managed to get forte running over a modem using PPP,
with the call-back verification procedure outlined above ?
2) In the Forte doc's it says that Forte is only compatible with Win
95 and MS TP/IP no other TCP/IP stack - is this true, or has someone
managed to get another stack working ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I have some similiar problems that basically were solved by a fix to one of the
ip executables. For this particular situations I was using Lan Workplace for DOS
Version 5 and just visited their web site and looked for a description similiar
to the problem I was having to determine the right patch. It sounds like when
you let go of your connection that the com port is probably still being held and
not beig released. I could be wrong but.... are you getting any other type of message?

Thank you for your answer, David.
We are considering the splitting of one VMS partition into several ones to
streamline some functionality. Currently the communication between the
implied components is handled within the existing partition. By splitting it
we are expecting some performance loss due to interpartition communication
overhead and, since the number of messages expected will be high, we were
wondering if they will be needlessly going through the whole network stack
or transferred directly via socket IPC, as can be done in the Unix boxes.
The answer would help us tune-up the system by focusing at the right
parameters during testing of the new setup.

Re: Forte and OrbixWeb call-back

We have created a business process manager (BPM) layer between our client GUI
and business model objects that supports Java call-in/call-out. This enables
switching out the Forte windows with Java windows for a web solution with
minimal code re-write.
We were able to get most functionality to work as per our design, which
included registering a call back function from a Java GUI in the BPM, but had
to make some sacrifices due to a Forte bug, at least under 3.0.D. We turned
in case #38434, detailing errors when we tried to fire a callback method with
parameters, example below ("callback" was the Java object passed in.)
method TestIIOPBackend.FireCallback(input message: Framework.string)
begin
if callback != nil then
task.part.logmgr.putline('Firing callback');
//WORKS
callback.CallMe();
//ERROR!
callback.CallMeString(message);
else
task.part.logmgr.putline('Callback not set');
end if;
end method;
This may have been fixed in 3.0.F, we found a way to work around it in our
design and haven't investigated since.

Peggy,
1) Do you have experience with PowerBuilder and Forte' applications running at
the same time on the same (laptop) computer? Here I'm thinking
about any potential resource constraints? Memory Requirements?As log as you are using Win95 or NT you should not be concerned about WIN-resources. Memory depends more on what your 2 tier PB application requires than what your Forté would require.
Cheers,

Re: (forte-users) Forte and CORBA question

Hi,
The discarding the Java variable that references a distributed Forte object
doesn't cause that the distributed object will be reclaimed. In Forte client
you can use ReleaseDistReference() of the current partition (task.part) to
free the remote object. For Java client, you can implement the following
solution:
- define a method ReleaseMyObject() in the SO you are using to get the proxy
to the dist. object. As parameter for it use something that can identify
your object (attribute).
- your SO has an array or hashtable with your distributed objects, every new
object is added to it.
- in the implementation of ReleaseMyObject() find the object to release in
the array and call ReleaseDistReference() for it,
- from the Java client, call the ReleaseMyObject() for the object that is
not more needed.

Zenon Adamek

Hello Dave,
do you use a copy return or copy parameters in this method ?
If not, then maybe Forte is unable to garbage-collect this object because
it is forever
a proxy which only the server-partition may be able to drop it from memory
(object=NIL).
Try this and let us know what happens.
Hope this helps

Any thoughts?

Hi,
I have encountered an issue when working with Forte and cvs. If a developer creates a new component, say a JFrame, and add some other components to it and there after check in the result in the cvs (.java, .form and .nbatrs), everything seems to work just fine. Then another developer check out the code and open it in Forte then Forte some times remove components from the file and tell the developer that the file has changed (via an *). (Where not using Fortes own cvs tools). It only happens with files that have an form file.
Beside this, the same issue randomly arise when editing files.
Would be glad if somebody could help me.
Mats

I have noticed the same thing. In my case it's the JMenuBar on a JFrame that gets trashed. The menu is still there, all that changes is
(1) value="menuBar" changes to value="(No menu)" in the <SyntheticProperty name="menuBar" ...> entity in the .form file (menuBar is the name of the menu bar)
(2) the setJMenuBar(menuBar); statement in the .java file goes away
and
(3) the menu bar no longer appears in the form.
It seems to be pretty reproducible.

Adobe 9, TS and Citrix Launching PDF Documents 1 min+

Running Windows Server 2008R2 and Citrix Xenapp6. When connecting via Citrix ICA protocol and
launching any app that references a PDF file it takes a long time for the document to launch.
If I login via RDP it is quick to launch the document. I have changed rights, permissions, loaded and reloaded, patches, versions 9 and 10....about anything I can think of. PDF files still open so slow it is not acceptable.
Anyone have any ideas or had this issue before??

Does it help if you give a user a new Adobe profile?

Forte and Oracle Trace

Hi,
Has anybody out there used Oracle Trace to monitor the performance of Forte
service objects that access data from Rdb databases. We have been trying to
do this and Trace does not seem to see the Forte servers. Could you please
e-mail me your experiences or any info that you may have in this regard.

I'm interested in learning if anyone knows of any
successes using Forte with Oracle Parallel Server. I
would like to use the two together for a new highly

Forte and windows98???

Hi Forte Experts
Can we use forte with windows98, and if so: which versions?
limitations? problems?
The reason for asking such a dumb question is, that we just installed
a brand new 'super-specifications' pc with windows98 and now we have
userwindows that hangs, ftexec'windows that will not appear etc,
and I would like to know, if this is a forte problem, windows98- or
HARDWARE problem. We do not see any of those problems on
windows95 on a more modest pc.
The PC looks nice and has got almost any widget or card you can imagine...
You name it - we got it, it just doesn't work, but it sure looks nice in the sysspec.
Any positive or negative experience with windows98 and forte would be a
great help to track down the problem...

Hi all,
Forte on Windows98 does not appear to be a very good combination!
For a Forte 'supported' platform it behaves very poorly.
Unfortunately our installation base 'upgraded' to Win98 not long after
we rolled out our first application and the 'hanging' problems then
started to appear. This was experienced up to a couple of times a day
by some users - although it appears to happen randomly. Ie; one machine
would be fine one day and hang a couple of times the next day - for no
apparent reason.
We have tried everything we could think of (as well as everything that
Forte tech-support could think of) but all without much success. We
have also been running the application on Sun, WinNT and Win95 boxes and
these platforms don't show the same problems. This ruled out any
application specific problems.
The one thing that has provided us with some relief is to 'upgrade' to
the Second Edition of Win98. This has been more stable although we
still do experience the hanging problem - just not as frequently. This
unfortunately is still not providing a very reliable platform as when
the user does experience a 'hang' they usually have to reboot their
system as it has usually frozen all running applications (as well as
Windows).
Unfortunately Win98 Second Edition appears to be a bit flaky other ways
(not necessarily relating to Forte) and often doesn't shutdown properly
at the end of the night.
Anyway, I could go on like this for a while - but I won't.
I think it is sufficient to say that I would NOT recommend anyone moving
to Win98 as a platform to run a Forte application.
If anyone else has had any experiences with Win98 and Forte (both good
and bad) I would love to hear from you. It doesn't look like we'll be
moving from Win98 for a while yet so anything anyone can offer would be
greatly appreciated!

Cameron Clark.

Acrobat Licensing and Citrix

Does anyone know if you are required to purchase a license for both the desktop and Citrix if you are accessing Adobe Acrobat by both methods?

Per the Adobe EULA, you are allowed to install and activate the software on up to two computers, virtual or physical...
There's also a special item on that page about Deploying Adobe Acrobat X products on Citrix.

Forte' and Java IOOP in mission criticalapplications.

Hi,
Has anybody had any experience in the development of Java/IIOP/Forte'
applications in large scale, mission critical, environments?
We've developped a full function prototype application and it looks as if
the Forte' IIOP listener could easily become a bottleneck in the overall
architecture configuration: infact we think it is not possible to configure
it for load balancing and/or failover and that any solution in this field
should be carried out outside Forte'.
Any ideas/comments?
Thanks a lot,

Hi
I've been playing with a variation of the custom router you describe below to
avoid having my server side partitions being pulled onto my client.
Essentially each of my server side partitions registers themselves with a
router set up to service that particular partition. The "clients" then request
a reference to the server side partition from the custom router. This
reference is then used to invoke the services provided by my server side
partitions.
On the box I am testing (RS 6000) my custom router (performing round robin
routing) is between 90ms and 100ms slower the Forte's own router. However,
since my server side partition can be multi-threaded as soon as there are more
tasks requiring the service than there are partitions I start to see a
performance improvement.
While I was testing this (and a few other things) I noticed that it seemed to
be awfully easy to flood a Forte partition (running Forte threads) with tasks
(around 8 as far as I could tell) to the point where the partition seems to
spend all of its time servicing the threads rather than doing any real work.
Does anyone know at what number of tasks the Forte threading model breaks down?
Or, if there are any ways of controlling the "thread processing time".
Cheers,
Darren

We are implementing a Java Bean which communicates via IIOP to our SO. We
didn't like forte's router so we developed a custom 'Intelligent' router.
The Bean first resolves the CustomerRouterSO. The CustomerRouterSO is set
for only Fail-Over. Our real SO that does all of the work is our
ReplicateSO which is load balanced and registers with the CustomerRouterSO.
The CustomRouterSO does not hold state in case it fails. ReplicateSO know
(based on env) if they are primary or secondary type SO and tell the
CustomRouterSO.
In the CustomRouterSO you can add any type of logic you need to determine
which ReplicateSO you want to assign back from the connect(). In our case,
each ReplicateSO keeps a count of the number of clients assigned, and the
CustomRouterSO asks the ReplicateSO if it can handle another assignment.
We needed this type of behavior because our objects are chockfull of state.
If you need Message type duration then it's another game. We are heading
into Stress Test in a few weeks so we will see if this will fly.
Have Fun!

FORTE and PVCS

Has anyone any experience of integrating Forte with an external
Configuration Management environment (especially Intersolv's PVCS)
and if so, did you have any issues in doing so?

Whatever the tool (SCCS, CVS, RCS, PVCS, etc.), the source code control
mechanisms must be unobtrusive when version control is applied at the class
level. The tool must not interrupt the development effort lest it be
bypassed and abandoned. This would happen very quickly, for example, in a
schedule-sensitive environment in which each developer must manually
export/import Forte classes and check in/out of the version control tool.
Dustin Breese seems to describe a tool which does not get in the way, and
I'm sure the major CM vendors will become more Forte-friendly as the Forte
repository mechanisms become more open.
I'd like to add another wrinkle: Distributed Repositories...
All of the traffic on this topic seems to assume that source code control
occurs at a single site. Has anyone tackled source code control in
multiple sites sharing the same logical repository? I say "logical"
because all sites would share the same code base, while developers at each
site code against a local repository to ensure maximum repository
performance. What tools are available to overcome the challenges
introduced by a distributed repository approach?

We at BSG have also developed a source code version control product. It
provides source code version control down to the class level. It can be
quickly and easily modified to run with virtually any source code control
product (SCCS, PVCS, etc.). If you are interested in obtaining more
information on this or any of our other products (Framework, Browser,
Documenter, etc.) then please contact Dan Reid at [email protected].
Take care!

Subject: Re: Forte and PVCS
I would take serious issue with the statement that Forte does not work
with the version control products on the market today. We have built
a product we call Forte Bridge that works greate with PVCS. We have
automated version control at the project and repository level. You just
ask Forte for the internal hooks to the repository events, and build from
there.
The product supports creating a build, an application ready for
distribution/deployment, with all appropriate versions of a given
applications
projects.
This tool took about 2 months to build with only 2 resources, it
is implemented, fully integrated into our development process, and works
great. We have full version control as low as the project level accross
multiple repositories, and across multiple environments (development,
multiple
tests, and production).

Our staff has researched this item recently.
1. Forte does not work with the version control products on the
market
today. This is why the forte company
put into the environment a systems admin. function. We spoke to Forte
about this and we think the best you could get would be to have the end
result app. (ie .EXE of whatever) be managed by a version control
product. But the day to day source dev could not.
2. Rational software is a strategic business partner of Forte.
Rational makes a product called CLearCase which is a very good change
management product. I spoke to Rational about whether or not they had
plans to provide + support for the Forte environment under the
ClearCase product. The answer was a resounding no!.
I expect that in the next couple of years, as more and more product &
environments may exist under the CORBRA defined architecture, vendors
may develop more tools to support these environments and "catch up".

Re: Forte and X Windows

Adrian,
I usually develop my application on my pc, but I deploy them on a
central server alpha and on a server SUN Solaris too: both using Motif.
I had no problems but take care to use grid field facilities (see "A
guide to Forte workshops" page 197 ...) if you want to have windows
with same geometry on both systems (windows and X windows), unless
you'll have different windows on different systems.
Hope this helps you

"When all other means of communication fail, try words"

How about changing the time-out parameters in Oracle. So if your
application hangs and reaches time-out, Forte may generate an exception
which you need... Just a thought.

Thanks Amin Kamran,
for the try to help me. The problem is that: ' I get no Exception !!!'.
The application hangs and wait. You can try this also with two SQL-PLUS
Sessions. When one Session not commit the other session hangs.
My Application use at this point also the 'ALTER SESSION SET
ISOLATION_LEVEL SERIALIZABLE' to got an exception when Data which is
current selected is updated by others. EXPRESS handles this in the same
kind. Also EXPRESS hangs if I do the same thing.
The problem is the ORACLE-DATABASE.
The Database must send the error to the application (SQL-Plus or Forte

not necessary).. =
