Why are line endings added to exported SoapUI TestSuites? - return

Whenever I export a full TestSuite from SoapUI 5.2.0, "\r" is added almost randomly to my test requests:
<![CDATA[<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/messaging/200908/">\r
<soapenv:Header/>\r
<soapenv:Body>\r
<ns:getAllowableActions>\r
<ns:repositoryId>${#TestCase#repositoryId}</ns:repositoryId>\r
<ns:objectId>${#TestCase#folderId}</ns:objectId>\r
</ns:getAllowableActions>\r
</soapenv:Body>\r
</soapenv:Envelope>]]>
Any idea what caused this? Importing this in the newest version in SoapUI is not a problem, yet if I import it in any earlier version it will import the \r into the requests.
How can I make sure this doesn't happen anymore?

As said in my earlier comment:
For now as workaround I always do a search on the document after I performed an export and replace all ">\r" with ">". Please, try that until someone might come up with a solution. :)

Sending IFS File to Outq Prints Line of "#" Symbols

I am attempting to send a file from IFS to an outq on our AS/400 system. Whenever I do, I get exactly what I send, as well as a line of "#" symbols of varying lengths appended to the end.
Here's the command I'm using:
qsh cmd('cat -c /path/test.txt | Rfile -wbQ -c "ovrprtf file(qprint)
outq(*LIBL/ABCD) devtype(*USERASCII) rplunprt(*no) splfname(test) hold(*no)"
qprint')
The contents of test.txt is just Hello World!
The output I get when I send the command is
Hello World!####################################################################
I have not found any posts online about a similar problem, and have tried changing values and looking for additional switches to get it to work. Nothing I'm doing seems to fix the issue.
Is there a command or switch that I am missing, or is something I have in there already causing this?
EDIT:
I found this documentation which is the first time I've seen this issue mentioned, but it's not very helpful:
“Messages for a Take Action command might consist of a long string of "at" symbols (#) in a pop-up message. (The Reflex automation Take Action command, which is configured in situations, does not have this problem.) A resolution for this problem is under construction. This problem might be resolved by the time of the product release. If you see this problem, contact IBM Software Support.”
The only differences are: 1) this is not a pop-up message, it's printed. 2) I don't believe we use Tivoli Monitoring, although I could be wrong.
Assuming we do use Tivoli Monitoring, what would the solution be? There's no additional documentation past that, and I am not a system administrator, so I can't really make the call to IBM Software Support myself. And assuming we DON'T use it, what else could cause this issue?
I get different results, yet similar. I created a test.txt with Windows Explorer, put in Hello, world!, saved it and tried the script. I got gibberish for the 'Hello, world!' and then the line of # symbols.
My system is 7.3 TR5, CCSID 37 (US English) and my IFS file is CCSID 1252 (Windows English). Results did not change if I used a stream file of CCSID 819 (US ASCII).
I didn't have any luck modifying Rfile switches.
I found that removing devtype(*userascii) produced printed output in plain English without the # symbols. Do you really need *USERASCII? I would think that would be more for a pre-formatted 'print-ready' file like Postscript or the like.
EDIT: some more things to try
I don't understand why *USERASCII is adding those # symbols; it looks like a translation issue.
I tried this and still got the extra ###... You might have to play with the TOCCSID() parameter. Although a failure, it did give me an idea: what if those # symbols are EBCDIC spaces being sent as-is to the *USERASCII print stream? All we'd need is a way to send only the number of bytes in the stream file, without any padding.
CRTPF FILE(QTEMP/PRTSTMF) RCDLEN(132)
CPY OBJ('/path/test.txt') TOOBJ('/qsys.lib/qtemp.lib/prtstmf.file/prtstmf.mbr') replace(*yes)
ovrprtf file(qprint) outq(*LIBL/prt3812) devtype(*USERASCII) rplunprt(*no) splfname(test) hold(*no)
cpyf prtstmf qprint
The data in QTEMP/PRTSTMF is in ASCII; DSPPFM shows that much. It also shows a bunch of spaces: after all, it is a fixed length file. My next step was to write an RPG program to read the stream file and print it, but Scott Klement already did that: http://www.scottklement.com/PrtStmf.zip
This works on my system:
ovrprtf file(qsysprt) outq(*LIBL/abcd) devtype(*USERASCII) rplunprt(*no) splfname(test) hold(*no)
prtstmf stmf('/path/test.txt') outq(abcd)

Ctypes mozilla unknown error

In a mozille extension I run:
SecSess.Logger.info("ctypes test");
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/ctypes.jsm");
SecSess.Logger.info("1");
this.lib = ctypes.open("libcrypto.so");
SecSess.Logger.info("2");
var a = new Uint8Array(1<<10);
SecSess.Logger.info("3");
var ptr = new ctypes.uint8_t.ptr(a.buffer);
SecSess.Logger.info("4");
Why this ugly logging after each step you might ask? Well this code fails without showing me an error. (or at least I can't find the error message)
This is printed:
ctypes test
1
2
3
So the 5th log message is never printed which means the following statement never completes:
var ptr = new ctypes.uint8_t.ptr(a.buffer);
This is a simplified version of some old code I have to work with and which I also found online as being valid. However it doesn't work. This add-on wasn't developped using the new SDK with jpm. Quite frankly I don't know how and when it was developped but I need to run some tests on it. It comes with a few source files ordered in a components and a modules directory and a chrome.manifest and install.rdf in the root. I copied these files to the extension directory of Mozilla in order for it to work. The extension executes but there seems to be a problem with ctypes. Aren't ctypes fully supported anymore or are these old style add-on no longer valid for the modern Firefox?
Regards,
Roel
I think they landed a a patch to disallow making a pointer from buffers. I'll double check.
Edit:
Ah per this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/js-ctypes/Using_js-ctypes/Working_with_ArrayBuffers, you don't have to wrap it with a ctypes.uint8_t.ptr just pass it like a.buffer to wherever you need it. :)

Error "Invalid Locales set !!" when trying to install sqldemo on Informix

I am extremely new to Informix and am having some trouble trying to get sqldemo installed.
Set up so far:
openSuse 12.1 (32 bit)
Informix Growth Edition 11.70 UC6
Informix SQL Developer 7.50 UC6
Informix RDS 7.50 UC6
Informix ID 7.50 UC6
After struggling a few days and a lot of reading of http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v117/index.jsp, I managed to get Informix installed and On-line.
I also opted to install the demo database instance that comes with the installation.
I now and attempting to get started with Informix 4GL by Example.
I am trying to get the sqldemo database up. I don't know if it will replace the previous instance installed with Informix, but that is a different problem.
Right now as per the document, running the following should set up the DB:
sqldemo stores2t -log
I however get an error: "Invalid Locales set !!".
I have tried looking up this error and also in the documentation.
I have tried setting the CLIENT_LOCALE and DB_LOCALE in my .profile file.
For example:
export CLIENT_LOCALE=en_US.CP1252 and
export DB_LOCALE=en_US.819
This has not helped.
A push in the right direction, or perhaps some other documentation I could read that would explain things better would really be appreciated.
If any other information is required from me, please do not hesitate to ask.
Update 1
Thanks so much for the response.
A couple of things firstly that I have tried since your post.
Changed the the CLIENT_LOCALE and DB_LOCALE as you specified - Same error - So i removed it as you said it should not be set.
Fixed a problem in my PATH and made sure it has /usr/informix/bin - Same Error
INFORMIXDIR is /usr/informix
INFORMIXSERVER is ol_informix1170 (This is from the database that was installed with the informix install, don't know if this must be changed? and if so to what?)
Ran the script you mentioned, result :
INFORMIXDIR=/usr/informix
INFORMIXSERVER=ol_informix1170
INFORMIXSQLHOSTS=/usr/informix/etc/sqlhosts
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
ONCONFIG=onconfig
I noticed I had set the language to UK, which made the Locales en_gb instead if en_us, so tried changing that in my .profile, which did not help, so also tried changing the language to US and the locales to en_us, but this made no difference.
As for what you said about the sqldemo script and the already installed db, It is fine if that db is removed as this is just a test VB box for me to learn on.
Could the $INFORMIXSERVER set as ol_informix1170 be the problem?
Thank you once again for the help.
Neill
Update 2
Thanks again for the response.
A few things to note.
The dbenv results I posted is all that shows which i assume/presume (uh-oh) means that the other environment variables are not set. Which of the environment variables you posted are absolutely necessary for it to work?
As above, Where would I find the terminfo file, or does this need to be created?
As above, the SQLEXEC variable... where would I find sqlrm? I can somewhat remember from the documents I have read I think it should be $INFORMIXDIR/lib? but I only have an esql directory. Is this correct.
Barring that something in the first 3 above is not causing more problems, when trying your suggestion of DEMOPATH=en_us/0333 sqldemo stores2t -log I receive the following error:
Sorry, cannot read the mkstores3 program required to build the demonstration database. Check the /etc subdirectory of INFORMIXDIR (/usr/informix).
Checking /usr/informix/etc shows indeed that there is no mkstores3 file.
Attempting your further note of isqldemo, I get the following error:
/usr/informix/bin/isqldemo: line 58: /usr/informix/demo/sql/en_us/e01c/isqldemo: No such file or directory.
I guess this makes perfect sense as there is no e01c directory, just the 0333 directory.
Right now anything you can tell me would indeed be a consolation because my newb-ness to generally Linux and definately Informix is a big factor. Interesting that this bug has been around for so long. I guess way more experienced folk than I figured out how solve it on their own, or just never bothered with the sqldemo.
I guess that will teach me to read this:
INFORMIX-4GL by Example
Version 4.1
July 1991
Going to check now if any updated text exists, but would still appreciated more help in solving this problem. Do you think reverting to a previous snapshot before Informix was installed and not opting for the ol_informix1170 database to be included could be a possible solution? I wouldn't really see that it would be, but what do I know.
Many many thanks for your continued time and effort.
Regards,
Neill
Update 3
So I see indeed the document I was reading is ancient. I have found an updated one (2002) which uses a different script (dbaccessdemo7).
I tried running that, have run into an error, but tomorrow is another day.
For now I am going to mark this as solved because of the bug detected and resolved. I am not going to put more time and effort into sqldemo.
Thank you so much, and if I struggle with dbaccessdemo 7, I will post a new question.
Regards,
Neill
The sqldemo script won't create a new server; it may clobber your existing database (a single server may house multiple databases; indeed, there are 4 sys* databases created when a server is initialized) but it won't harm your server otherwise.
Probable cause of the error
The normal problem with invalid locales is that you've not set $INFORMIXDIR. You need $INFORMIXDIR set unless /usr/informix is (a symlink to) the correct location. You also need $INFORMIXSERVER set, and you usually need $INFORMIXDIR/bin on $PATH. Strictly, $INFORMIXSERVER is the only mandatory variable; in practice, you worry about the other two too.
The $INFORMIXDIR setting is used to locate the locale information (which is found in $INFORMIXDIR/gls) and the message files (which are found in $INFORMIXDIR/msg).
Note that CP1252 is a Windows code page. Normally on Unix, you'd either not set CLIENT_LOCALE or DB_LOCALE, or you could set them to:
export CLIENT_LOCALE=en_us.8859-1
export DB_LOCALE=en_us.8859-1
or you can choose another more appropriate (to you) locale. The 8859-15 locale includes the Euro symbol, for example, or the utf-8 locale dictates UTF-8 in the database. But, for initial debugging, stick with the 8859-1 locale, aka 819 or 0333 (all based on the IBM CCSID). If it doesn't work with 8859-1, then we have one set of problems; if it works with 8859-1 but not some other codeset or locale, then we have a different set of problems.
Follow-up info if the solution above fails
If that isn't the trouble, then I'll ask for some more details — notably, your Informix environment as reported by the dbenv script below:
: "#(#)$Id: dbenv.sh,v 2.11 2007/09/02 00:18:58 jleffler Exp $"
#
# Printout INFORMIX database environment
informix1="DB[^=]|DELIMIDENT=|SQL|ONCONFIG|TBCONFIG|INFOR"
informix2="ARC_|CLIENT_LOCALE=|GL_|GLS8BITSYS|CC8BITLEVEL|ESQL|FET_BUF_SIZE="
informix3="INF_ROLE_SEP=|NODEFDAC=|ONCONFIG|OPTCOMPIND|PDQ|PSORT"
informix4="PLCONFIG|SERVER_LOCALE|FGL|C4GL|NE_"
informix5="TCL_LIBRARY|TK_LIBRARY"
informix="$informix1|$informix2|$informix3|$informix4|$informix5"
system="COLLCHAR=|LANG=|LC_|LD_LIBRARY_PATH(_64)?=|PATH=|SHLIB_PATH="
jlss="IXD(32|64)?="
env |
egrep "^($informix|$system|$jlss)" |
sort
It's an old script; that's why the shebang is missing.
Second set of diagnosis
I was hoping for the complete output of the dbenv script; it is surprising how often something shows up. However, given what you've said, it is likely to be OK.
The INFORMIXSERVER setting sounds fine.
I'm struck by the LANG=en_US.UTF-8 setting; Informix does pay attention to $LANG and the $LC_* variables (that's why dbenv prints those out). That may be a factor in the problem. However, I would have expected CLIENT_LOCALE and SERVER_LOCALE to deal with that if it was the problem. Also, on my Mac, I have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and yet I can connect to (8859-1) databases OK.
This is beginning to look like an install problem...or sqldemo problem...
I transitioned from a Mac to a RHEL 5 (archaic) x86/64 machine, and tried running sqldemo over there:
$ dbenv

$ sqldemo st2 -log
Invalid Locales set !!
$
Oh yeah? No; my locales are fine, thank you!
Well, so be it...I can reproduce your problem! That's step 1. Step 2 is to look at the expletive deleted script.
PRODUCT=sql
DEMOFILE=sqldemo
DEFLANG=en_US.8859-1
INFORMIXDIR=${INFORMIXDIR:=/usr/informix}
INFENV=$INFORMIXDIR/bin/infenv
CONVLOC=$INFORMIXDIR/bin/convloc
if [ $# -gt 0 -a "X$1" = "X-e" ] ; then
LOCALE=$DEFLANG # -e means en_US.8859-1 required
shift
else
LOCALE=`$INFENV DBLANG` # get DBLANG value
if [ "x${LOCALE}" = "x" ]; then
LOCALE=`$INFENV CLIENT_LOCALE` # try CLIENT_LOCALE instead
if [ "x${LOCALE}" = "x" ]; then
LOCALE=`$INFENV DB_LOCALE` # finally default to DB_LOCALE
fi
fi
fi
if [ "x${LOCALE}" = "x" ]; then
LOCALE=$DEFLANG # finally default to DB_LOCALE
fi
export LOCALE
if [ "x${DEMOPATH}" = "x" ]; then
echo "Invalid Locales set !!"
else
exec $INFORMIXDIR/demo/$PRODUCT/$DEMOPATH/$DEMOFILE $*
fi
exit $?
Note that test for ${DEMOPATH}; note that DEMOPATH is not set in the script. So, we've got to get it set. What to? Well, ls $INFORMIXDIR/demo/sql shows that there are various locale-specific sub-directories (en_us,
ja_jp,
ko_kr,
th_th,
zh_cn,
zh_tw) and under the en_us directory there's 0333 (only).
Please run:
DEMOPATH=en_us/0333 sqldemo stores2t -log
This more or less worked for me — I believe it would work for you. I have a slightly unusual setup in that I have just I4GL (p-code and c-code) and ISQL in the $INFORMIXDIR; the server is run out of a different directory. This means I don't have server utility programs like dbload (specifically) in $INFORMIXDIR/bin. When the sqldemo script tried to load the data with dbload, therefore, it failed for me. It would work for you because you have all the Informix software in a single directory. To add insult to injury, it runs the dbload program by explicit path, so I can't futz my PATH to make it available.
This should get you going. I have a bug to report...it is CQ idsdb00244894.
I'm sorry that you ran into so much trouble. You shouldn't have done so.

LaTeX Failed to Parse(Unknown Error) on MediaWiki

On my wiki implemented by the MediaWiki interface, I am receiving a Failed to Parse (Unknown Error) for the LaTeX in the page. I checked the LocalSettings.php file, and I have set the proper variable($wgUseTeX) to true.
If it helps, the error message before this was a Failed to Parse(Missing texvc executable), but I "fixed" it to the best of my knowledge by running "make" inside the math directory and installing the texvc executable there. I tested texvc and it works on the commandline.
Could there be anything that I am missing?
aptitude install ocaml
cd /math
make clean
make
Found the answer here: MediaWiki Forums LaTeX Error
It seems that I had to clear the math directory except for the original files, rebuild ocaml, and finally rebuild texvc.
Adding this to LocalSettings solved it for me. Just needed to make the directory calls accurate. Tedious.
$wgUseTeX = true;
$wgUploadDirectory = "{$IP}/images";
$wgUploadPath = "{$wgScriptPath}/images";
$wgMathPath = "{$wgUploadPath}/math";
$wgMathDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/math";
$wgTmpDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/tmp";
$wgTexvc = "{$IP}/math/texvc";
Have a look at the README file, paying particular attention to "Ensure that the temporary and math directories exist and can be written to by the user account the web server runs under; if you don't control the server, you may have to make them world-writable."
If that does not help, edit render.ml, comment out the block that says "Commenting this block out will aid in debugging", and re-run make. This will leave all temporary files (including the TeX log) so that you can hopefully see what went wrong.

SaveDialog.Execute not doing anything in Windows 7

Delphi 2007 on windows 7 just does nothing on the saveDialog.Execute call. I have seen another person mention this a few weeks back but it was with Borland c++.
See the thread "TOpenDialog.Execute not working " on embarcadero newsgroups.
Problem there was resolved by deleting the executable name from
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options"
I got the same problem (savedialog not working) in windows XP.
After lots of unsuccessful attempts according to the voluminous exchanges in the embarcadero group you mention (https://forums.embarcadero.com/thread.jspa?messageID=196950&tstart=0#196950).
I found what the reason was : the initial file dir and filename of the Savedialog12 were bad, contradicting each other, the filename containing the fullpath of the last file I had opened (I had thought it was smart to prepare the saving of the file I had opened last; unfortunately what I had put in the initialdir was equal to what I had put in the filename !)
The problem was already solved by clearing both fields of the save dialog.
Further, my initial goal to prepare the saving was reached by putting valid values in the involved fields :
SaveDialog1.FileName:=ExtractFileName(Opendialog1.Filename);
SaveDialog1.InitialFileDir:=ExtractFilePath(Opendialog1.Filename);
