Uniface IDE Logicals
Logicals for the Uniface IDE are set in the ide.asn assignment file. They are used to control the behavior of the IDE, specify default object templates, and influence how ProcScript is migrated from Uniface 9 to Uniface 10.

[LOGICALS]
Logical = Value
Description
Uniface provides a variety of logicals for:
- Configuring some aspects of its behavior. See General IDE Logicals below.
- Setting default palletes, templates, and snippet library. See Default Palettes and Snippet Libraries below.
- Enabling menu and worksheet plug-ins to add user-defined functionality to the Uniface IDE. For more information, see Logicals for IDE Menu and Worksheet Plug-Ins.
- Configuring the test mode environment. For more information, see IDE Test Logicals.
- Configuring migration to Uniface 10. For more information, see Migration Logicals.
General IDE Logicals
ALLOW_BROWSE_TEMPLATES=0| 1
Controls whether templates and palettes
can be opened in an editor. To create and edit
custom templates, you must temporarily set this logical to 1.
0(default)—disable; palettes and templates are hidden and cannot be opened from the IDE U-Bar.1—enable; makes palettes and templates visible when browsing in the U-Bar.
Caution: Do not modify templates and palettes provided by Uniface without understanding the impact. For more information, see Define Palettes and Templates.
AUTOSAVE=Seconds
Controls the length of time to wait after typing stops in the Script Editor or Layout Editor, before the data is saved. Default is 60 seconds.
AUTOUNLOCK=Seconds
Controls the length of time that transaction data is locked before the lock is released. Default is 86400 seconds (1 day).
Caution: The delay specified by this setting must not exceed the maximum time a lock can be held in your database. Consult your database documentation for details.
DOCUMENTATION_LOCATION=URL | chm:
Specifies the location to which documentation links in the Uniface IDE are directed.
- URL (default)—base URL for the (online) browser-based documentation.
chm:—use the locally-installed ulibrary.chm file.
If this logical is not specified, the default documentation URL is https://www3.rocketsoftware.com/rocketd3/support/documentation/Uniface.
IDETITLE=NewTitle
Specifies a title to be used in the title bar of the Uniface IDE. For example:
IDETITLE = Uniface IDE for ACME
UBAR_RESULTS_MAXHITS=Number | all
Specifies the maximum number of results returned by the U-Bar and smart suggestions. By default, this is 50, but you can set it to a higher or lower number (or all). For example:
UBAR_RESULTS_MAXHITS = 20
Caution: Setting this logical to a value higher than 50 can degrade performance, particularly for large data sets.
Default Palettes and Snippet Libraries
The following logicals specify the default palette or snippet library to be displayed in the Resource Browser of each editor worksheet. By default, logicals are set to palettes and snippet libraries provided by Uniface. If you define your own palettes, you can configure the Uniface IDE to use these instead.
The value must specify the object type and the
name of the object: Type:ObjectName. For
example: cpt:DSP_OBJECTS or libsnp:PROCSCRIPT.
For more information, see Templates and Palettes.
