Hi, Is there an actual updater that updates windx itself on a clients machine from an older windx?  or is it only custom files such as static/dynamic pictures that is used for this auto updater?

"AutoUpdater to automatically check for and install critical patches/upgrades on all client workstations"

I see nothing in the documentation how this works?  Thanks

Hi thanks for releasing pvxplus 2023.

No luck with Ubuntu 22 and openssl still I need to assign:

export PXP_SSL_LIB=/usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1
export PXP_CRYPTO_LIB=/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1

And I now am getting a new error:

Could not locate entry point 'OSSL_PROVIDER_load' in libcrypto library.
Likely an incompatible SSL Interface. (err/ret=2/2)


Do I need to install OpenSSL 3.1 for this to work?

Thanks!

Pvxplus 2023? Coming soon?  Can't wait!!   

Hello everyone, just a simple question.

I have an incoming TCP data stream I want to capture.  For example port 9004.

I've created a simple incoming server routine.  Not sure if I needed KEEPALIVE but

let TCP=unt; open (TCP,bsz=4096,err=ERR_PORT)"[tcp];9004;KEEPALIVE"
READ_NEXT:
read record (TCP,err=ERR_READ)A$
print "Got: ",A$
goto READ_NEXT


Similarly I ran a linux "nc capture command" capturing data from another port which has the same data being sent to it.


What I am noticing is occasionally the PVX program does something like this:

Almost like a terminator character is received on the port and it registers part of the data then it continues on the next read fine.  So I would have to concatenate the data.

The nc command however does not break apart any data.

I am just wondering if I need to change anything in this routine.  Thanks.

Is there a way to receive a file with the pvxweb server?  (Web browser uploads file to pvxweb serevr)

I was able to do it by using apache and PHP, but I was curious if I can handle the POST of the binary file through the pvxweb server alone?

Thanks.

Hey everyone, I am in the process of upgrading one of our servers and I have noticed a decrease in performance from newer versions of Linux.

To perform this test I have a large file and doing a basic read cycle test.  The file contains:

     Maximum Record size ..........: 256 (Variable)
     Maximum # records ............: (No limit)
     Current # records ............: 1867559
     Size of key block ............: 4096 bytes
     Record Expansion factor ......: 10%
     External key size ............: 0
     Alt. key 0 ...................: [1:1:6]+[2:1:8]+[3:1:2]+[4:1:3]+[5:1:5]+[6:1:2]+[7:1:16]


Read Cycle Program:

0010 BEGIN
0020 PRINT DTE(0:"%hz:%mz:%sz")
0030 OPEN (1)"/home/martin/TESTFILE"
0040 LET X$=KEY(1,END=0099)
0050 READ (1,KEY=X$)A$
0060 T++
0070 GOTO 0040
0099 PRINT DTE(0:"%hz:%mz:%sz")

The important part of this test is that it is to be run *MULTIPLE* times to fill the memory.  Usually two passes complete filling the memory.  Afterwards zero disk access is used, it's all memory based.  This eliminates the disk-io variable from the test.

Test Results:


ubuntu server 10.04 = 9 seconds 2.6.32-38-server
ubuntu server 12.04 = 9 seconds 3.2.0-23-generic
ubuntu server 16.04 = 9 seconds 4.4.0-21-generic
ubuntu server 18.04 = 14 seconds 4.15.0-128-generic #131 (running pxp for ub16)
ubuntu server 20.04 = 14 seconds 5.4.0-58-generic #64

debian 10 = 14 seconds 4.19.0-13-amd64

windows10 = 11 seconds  20H2 - 19042.685

All tests were done with pvx17 64-bit and the same hardware, however I've seen the same results with older providex as well.

So my current conclusions are something has happened around the 4.4+ kernel that seems to be causing this as you can see a 5 second difference between 16.04 and 18.04.  I'm not sure what the solution is yet, as I have just discovered this after numerous tests, I'd like to hear from the staff at pvxplus before I do any more tests.

Thanks for any thoughts,
Martin

Hello, I'm testing pxplus 2020 v17.10 and I am seeing strange behaviour that was not in my older versions.  Double clicking the top-LEFT box on the windows do not close the dialogue/window.

Works sometimes,  most often not.

Simple example:

0010 BEGIN
0020 PRINT 'DIALOGUE'(1,1,20,10,"Test"),
0030 INPUT *

Tested both windows/linux, same behaviour with local and Simple client server.  PC windows: win 10 pro - build 20H2

Thanks,
Martin
