Its been a long time since I did this but if my memory serves me right I created a .BAT file for windows that set the  environment variable then launched pxplus.

I am trying to install WindX on Linux using Wine. When I start the application, it states that I have not set the TERM environment variable and it is set to UNKNOWN. I have exported TERM=ansi and TERM=winterm, but it continues to state that the terminal is UNKNOWN. The specific error message:
ERROR:
****
You have either forgotten to to define set the ENVIRONMENT variable TERM the terminal type, forgotten to EXPORT it to Providex, or have set it to UNKNOWN. Please correct and restart ProvideX.

Our application is Terminal based (not web enabled), so I am able to succesfully connect and enter the numbers representing the menu options and move through the application, but it is not usable.

For reference, I am attempting to run this on a Debian 12 installation using the Wine version available in the repos or installed via Flatpak (Bottles).

I searched the forums and found a couple of previous Linux/Unix installations that appeared to be successful, but am not able to replicate.

Any suggestions?

Devon,

Can you share the rules for when PxPlus shares user slots.  If I have a +20 and -20, is that the *same* user slot.  One would think.  In my current context folks are logging in to unix and then firing up the PxPlus application.  If they initiate 2 sessions does this burn off one or 2 slots?

Thanks!
Michael

A positive number means a user slot is being used, while negative means it is sharing an existing user slot.

I have a customer using facetterm to connect to a linux box and run a Pxplus app.  When they make the first connection their user slot (tcb(27)) shows up as -20.  When I connect a second time from the same IP address the user slot shows up as 20.  Is this the same user slot?  Why is one positive and one negative.  Thanks!

Hi All,
I wasnt sure what section to put this under. Does anyone have any experiences they could share re: integrating their PxPlus Application with Square POS.

We have some files that are HUGE, but this isn't one of them. It just moves a lot of records in and out on a daily/weekly basis, but generally stays around 150-200K or less at any particular time.

I was getting this error on a file that was getting too large.  I had to work around it by doing a check and rotating files when they reached a size limit.

This turned out to be related to *something* in MS Business Central.  3rd party had to create a work around.
