Abstract
This BrainShare codebreak lab was designed to help novice programmers understand the basics of writing CGI scripts in NetBasic.
It contains sample code, a NetBasic presentation in HTML, and a lab workbook.
Detailed Description
In the BrainShare codebreak session we built a simple Hello World script to generate a Hello World web page.
|
hworld.bas - A hello world script |
We then built two NetBasic CGI scripts:
|
webpiz1.bas - Which generated a pizza order form |
|
|
webpiz2.bas - Which retrieved the pizza order data and displayedit |
This document also includes an HTML and Powerpoint presentation on the basics of NetBasic.

Differences between NetBasic 4.11 and NetBasic 6.0

Abstract
There are many differences between NetBasic 4.11 and NetBasic 6.0. This document will point out a few critical differences that you need to know.
Detailed Description
NetBasic v4.11 ships with IntranetWare and NetWare 4.11. NetBasic v6.0, at the present time, is in Beta and is available from the Hitecsoft Web site (www.hitecsoft.com) or from the DeveloperNet essentials CD distributed at BrainShare and Java One in early 1997.
The differences between the two versions may cause existing scripts to function improperly or not function at all.
Location of Web Scripts
In v4.11 you could place web scripts anywhere under
SYS:NetBasic/Web
(ie. SYS:NetBasic/Web/Mystuff/test.bas)
In v6.0 this is prohibited because of other features that were added which will be discussed later. All web scripts MUST be placed in SYS:NetBasic/Web. For example, SYS:NetBasic/Web/test.bas
Calling Web Scripts from Browsers
Another critical difference is the way the scripts are called from a Web browser.
In v4.11, you could call the script with or without specifying the .BAS extension.
In v6.0, if the script is not compiled (another feature that will be discussed later), you must call the script by specifying the .BAS extension. For example, http://myserver/netbasic/test.bas.
Otherwise, NetBasic will not be able to find the script.
Calling Subroutines
Another added feature with v6.0 that makes the calling convention different, is the ability to call individual Subroutines within a script. This feature gives you the ability to have one script perform several CGI functions, ie. one subroutine to generate a form, another to process the form, etc. In v4.11 this functionality was possible only through a complex method of If statements and Query Strings.
Example:
If you had a script named, WEBPIZZA.BAS that had three subroutines:
|
Main (required) |
|
|
PaintForm (used to generate a pizza order form) |
|
|
ProcessOrder (used to retrieve the order data and processit) |
You could generate the form with the URL:
http://myserver/netbasic/webpizza/PaintForm
The form would specify the URL to process the data as:
http://myserver/netbasic/webpizza.bas/ProcessOrder
See the NetBasic documentation on URI (Universal Resource Identifier) in the NetBasic IDE Tutorial contained in the User's Guide. The URI macro defined in doc.h eliminates the need to know whether or not the script is compiled and should be used to reference all NetBasic scripts/NLMS that reference other NetBasic scripts/NLMs.
Compiling
NetBasic v6.0 allows you to compile your script into an NLM. Once a script is compiled, it is placed in the SYS:System/NMX directory. It is then called from a browser with the same calling convention as a normal script, except the .BAS extension is eliminated.
See the NetBasic documentation on URI (Universal Resource Identifier) in the NetBasic IDE Tutorial contained in the User's Guide. The URI macro defined in doc.h eliminates the need to know whether or not the script is compiled and should be used to reference all NetBasic scripts/NLMS that reference other NetBasic scripts/NLMs.
New APIs
Several new APIs were added in NetBasic v6.0. Many were added to the DOC class (for Frames, Tables, multi-valued CGI variables, etc), and various additions are also found in many other classes.

Abstract
This issue describes how to work around a bug in FEsopen when copying files to a long name space, i.e. OS/2 or NT.
Detailed Description
The normal procedure to copy files on a server involves scanning the source directory using readdir, opening the files using FEsopen, and copying them using FileServerFileCopy.
This assumes the correct source and target name space have been set using SetCurrentNameSpace() and SetTargetNameSpace().
There is no problem with this as long as the files are owned by the DOS name space and do not have a long name. With the SDK CD Vol.9, the readdir function has some added functionality to return the long name for a file, if it is not owned by DOS. This name could then in theory be used to generate the file in the target name space.
Unfortunately, the FEsopen call uses the default (DOS) name parser when generating the new files, causing all names to be converted to uppercase.
For case-sensitive applications, this poses a problem. Also, you cannot simply go and update the target using opendir() with the source name to determine if the file exists, as the two names no longer match.
The solution is to iterate through the loaded name spaces on the source location and copy the name space entries one-by-one to the destination, using NWGetNameSpaceEntryName and NWSetNameSpaceEntryName, respectively.

Abstract
The enclosed two sample programs will illustrate how to extend the NDS schema.
Detailed Description
The following two sample programs will illustrate how to extend the NDS schema. The first program, SCHEMA.C, will add a new class definition to the NDS schema, create a new attribute definition, create a new object using these definitions, and populate the new attribute with a new value. The program will then pause and allow you to switch to the second program, READSCHM.C, via the NetWare server console, which will display the value in the new attribute. Lastly you can switch back to the original program which will delete the new object, attribute definition, and class definition.

Abstract
This is part one of a two parts BrainShare presentation. This part is designed to provide general information about "How To" for new developers.
Detailed Description
In addition to the general information, it will include a sample code that uses the new "Connection Services" APIs to connect to a server.
It will then use "File Server Environment Service," "Print Server Services," "Queue Management Services," and "Print Services" to demonstrate how to create, delete, and display print servers, print queues, and printers. Finally, it will send a print job to a network printer and print the job.

NLS APIs Containing serverName Parameter Documented Incorrectly

Abstract
The following APIs are documented incorrectly because the serverName parameter is now the context name parameter.
|
NLSAddProductInformation() |
|
|
NLSAvailable() |

|
NLSInstallCertificate() |

|
NLSInstalled() |

NLSUsers() |
|
|
NLSAddProductInformation() |
Detailed Description
Below is a typical NLS management API. Note how the serverName parameter has been replaced by the contextName parameter.
|
LS_STATUS_CODENLSAddProductInformation( |

LS_STR |
*licenseSystem, |

*version, |

|
LS_ULONG |
licenseUnits, |
||
|
LS_ULONG |
attributesLength, |
||
|
LS_VOID |
*licenseAttributes); |
LS_STR contextName
(IN) Points to the NDS context in which the license certificate should be placed or LS_ANY. If LS_ANY is specified the current connection must be authenticated to NDS and the current underlying NDS context will be used.
Example: "DSD.Novell"
When licenses were moved from a BTRIEVE database to NDS, this serverName parameter is now used for NDS context information. Use NWDSLogin() and NWDSAuthenticate() to establish identity.
This has been corrected for the SDK Rel. 12 documentation.

Getting Intermittent Errors from NLS APIs When Called from an NLM

Abstract
Developers have reported occasional and intermittent errors when using Novell Licensing Services (NLS) APIs from an NLM. Among them are the following:
NLSInstallCertificate() is returning 0xC000100E; LS_BAD_ARG. NLSInstalled() is returning 0xC0001000B; LS_BAD_INDEX (when the index is 0) the second time after execution. If NLS.NLM is unloaded and loaded, it works correctly again for one execution.
Detailed Description
The problems were a result of the underlying NLM connection not having sufficient NDS rights. If you are going to write an NLM and use any NLS APIs you need to do an NWDSLogin() and NWDSAuthenticate() to establish identity. The example code LSAPIDM on the SDK has been corrected to perform an NWDSLogin() and NWDSAuthenticate() when running as an NLM.

NLSAddProductInformation() Returning LS_BAD_ARG in ADDPINFO Example

Abstract
Using the NLS example ADDPINFO.C on the SDK results in NLSAddProductInformation() returning 0xC000100E, LS_BAD_ARG.
Detailed Description
Recently, engineering put a check in many of the NLS APIs to return an LS_BAD_ARG when a NULL was passed in as a parameter. However, for this API, a NULL makes sense when the attributesLength is 0 and no licenseAttributes will be used. This problem has been reported to engineering.
A work-around to the problem is to pass into NLSAddProductInformation() a buffer to licenseAttributes and an attributesLength of 0.
Partial Example:
|
char |
atrBuff[255]; |
|
|
result = NLSAddProductInformation(LS_ANY, LS_ANY,publisher, product, version,numUnits, 0, (LS_VOID *)atrBuff); |

How to Specify WildCard Search for NWDSReturnBlockOfAvailableTrees

Abstract
If an application passes in a wildcard character '*' for the scanFilter for NWDSReturnBlockOfAvailableTrees, a NULL should be passed in the endBoundStr parameter so that the numberOfTrees value will be accurate.
Detailed Description
The fifth parameter, endBoundString, should be set to NULL if you want all trees that meet the scanFilter criteria to be returned. endBoundString is used to compare against each tree name to see if the tree name comes before endBoundString. The documentation said that "a * can be passed in endBoundString". This is misleading and in fact if a * is passed in, the numberOfTrees will be 0 because the * character comes before all of the valid tree name characters.
Also the difference between numberOfNames and totalUniqueTrees is that numberOfNames is the number of trees returned in arrayOfNames and totalUniqueTrees is the number of trees that were found. This is not very clear in the documentation.
