RE: [U2] Longstanding aversion to CNAME?
With UV at least, CNAME is a Unix executable, hence able to handle the renaming of very large sequential files and the like... Unlike a UV BASIC program, the UV line editor or the UV COPY verb (the latter two being UV BASIC programs). So it, can come in very handy!

CNAME will be doing everything you'd be doing, but there will also be the overhead of the execute. If you're doing it once within a program, the difference will be negligible.

RE: [U2] Universe Phantom Problem
If you are moving programs between type 19 files, why even bother using a phantom ? If on Unix, why not have a cp CRON job, and if you are on Windows use AT .

Bjvrn, That would be what I'd do, sort of. Usually I set up a script in /etc/init.d to start and stop unidata cleanly, and then I link to it from the appropriate /etc/rc?.d directories, and for good measure put a script in /usr/local/bin which I whack higher in the PATH than $UDTBIN which intercepts any startud or stopud commands and pushes them through my /etc/init.d/unidata script. By doing this, I make a decent fist of driving any normal mechanism for starting or stopping unidata through a single spot so I can do other useful stuff at the same time - like write a message to syslog, or more importantly, make sure that the current RFS archive log file has been copied to the DR server. If someone knows what they are doing they can always get direct access to stopud or startud via $UDTBIN/st...ud, but it isn't often that you'd want to do that. The decision then is whether to put the startup for you phantoms into the same script as the one that starts unidata, or whether to put it in a separate /etc/init.d script and maybe link to it from a higher run level /etc/rc?.d. UniData commands not providing any reliable exit status is very annoying, but it has always been that way I'm afraid. What I usually do is add an extra capability to my /etc/init.d/unidata so that it understand not just the start and stop commands, but also a 'status' command which will use showud and look for a complete daemon set running to determine if it really believes that UniData is running. I then make it exit with a known status so in other scripts I can do: if /etc/init.d/unidata status then # stuff that relies on UniData being up else echo better start UniData first! exit 2 fi I'd wrap something this around your phantom initiation commands, and think hard about whether you need some way to shut your phantoms down neatly or is it OK simply to have stopud -f kill them?

Re: [U2] Longstanding aversion to CNAME?
Probably doesn't apply in this case but there's a trap to beware of If the file is type 1/19 and the record contains binary data, a simple read/write will corrupt it. On reads from a type 1/19, newlines are replaced by field marks. On write the opposite translation happens. For a normal text type database record this is fine, however, if you store bitmapped data (e.g. scanned images) in a type 1/19 file they will be damaged by this process. This was a long standing problem in COPY in UV but was fixed some time ago. The fix uses an (undocumented?) mode flag: ASSIGN 1 TO SYSTEM(1017)to turn off character translation and ASSIGN 0 TO SYSTEM(1017)to turn it on again Until this morning, I thought that CNAME had also been fixed but it seems that I am wrong (though the system I tried it on is still using 9.6.1.2). To demonstrate this problem, compile a one line program that prints -2. Use CNAME to change the name of the object record and the program prints -62963. I can't imagine that many users rename their object files but it shows the effect. I know of one very big UV site where they decided to save time by copying the object code from a test system to the live system using COPY rather than recompiling. This neatly destroyed every program along the way. A favourite variant on this problem was for users who went home from system adminstration courses and decided that GLOBAL.CATDIR might be better as a type 19 file instead of type 1. Yes, RESIZE used to have the same bug. The only way to get going again was to rebuild the catalog. Thankfully, this one has been fixed.

RE: [U2] Longstanding aversion to CNAME?
UV10 STILL DOES NOT UPDATE INDEXES if the index is part of the ID. From: Norman, David (SAAS) In UV9.4 CNAME didn't update secondary indexes, which left a bit of a mess behind. This has now been fixed, probably from 9.6. Example. A 2-part id: [internal-date]*[something] indexed on date ( @ID['*',1,1] or FIELD(@ID,'*',1) ) Changing a 0 to a 1 in a date in a particular id: CNAME file 13350*ABC,13351*ABC will leave old, nonexistant id 13350*ABC indexed under date 13350 and will not add the new id to 13351. IBM knows this (probably forwarded from the Vmark days), but resolutely will not fix it because the underlying i/o routines used by CNAME are different from the norm and won't easily support the change. This list's archives will support that claim. One could reasonably restate that as, It's too hard to fix, so just live with the inherent data integrity vulnerability. Or even, Help, help we're being oppressed. Come see the vulnerability inherent in the system. Chuck Stevenson P.S. As for speed, for type-1 -19 CNAME is faster than other read/write/delete schemes one could program. I *believe* it invokes a unix mv command which simply repoints the inode without actually moving any files. Similar on MS. P.P.S. I recall CNAME was originally a PRIMOS command similar to unix mv. Information just borrowed the name and handled type-1 ( UFDs (UserFileDirectories) ) with the primos mechanism, and used its own mechanism for hashed records. --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

One possible source: the list is now archived at gmane which barely munges the email addresses, only replacing '@' with ' at '. http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.u2.general/ I prefer mail-archive.com which doesn't even show them, it replaces anything resembling an email address with '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. http://www.mail-archive.com/u2-users%40listserver.u2ug.org/ (and some older stuff: http://www.mail-archive.com/u2-users%40oliver.com/) The IndexInfocus archives are not indexed by search engines, when that's all there was, we were fairly anonymous. I have mail filters on everything coming in, so I don't really notice an increase if it happens.

RE: [U2] [OT] Has anyone experienced a HUGE increase of Spam?
A new technique called Phishing (pronounced Fishing) is being employed by Spammers. They just do the brute force method of emailing (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]@yahoo.com, etc) and if they don't get a bounce back, then they know that they got a valid email address, and then it goes out to the Spam lists. This has happened to all of my email addresses in the last couple of months.

Apparantly there are a few new varients of blaster and bagel out there, our local news station ran a story on it.

It's unlikely that the list is being used directly for spam for two reasons: 1) The lists are closed lists, which means that one must be subscribed to the list in order to post to it. 2) The majordomo commands to retrieve the list of subscribers have been disabled, so one cannot harvest the addresses on the list. The only persons with access to the full subscriber list are the moderators.

RE: [U2] UV on Win2003, refusing new logins, UniAdmin issues RPC errmsg
Thanks Jordan. I wish licensing was the cause, but unfortunately it's something far more insidious than that. For awhile I was starting to think it had something to do with this gigabit NIC card on the new server. The LAN is only wired for 10/100MBPS. When we set the rate on the network card down to 100MBPS it seemed the condition did not occurr as frequently. Now I'm not certain if that's true or not. joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Jordan Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 6:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] UV on Win2003, refusing new logins, UniAdmin issues RPC errmsg Have you checked the user license count using the Uv license tool. Users may not be exiting gracefully and are leaving the license locked on the server. To clean this use UvLicTool with the clean option to release these licenses. You will find it in the /uv/uv/bin directory. It has options to report licenses or fix license count. This can occur if a program has a fatal that logsout the system. Other issues can be where users exit the Dynamic Connect client without first logging out.

RE: [U2] merge sort
Chuck, if what you wanted was to look at the code to see how it's done this won't help but. AD for MERGE.LIST I've used MERGE.LIST which is very effective. I've written programs which sort and merge many subsets just by executing this utilities and then doing the good ol' READLIST. SELECT PARTS BY REV.NO SAVING REV.NO TO 1 SELECT VENDOR.PARTS BY VEN.REV SAVING VEN.REV TO 2 MERGE.LIST 1 UNION 2 Or MERGE.LIST 1 DIFFERENCE 2 You can go on forever . (or at least I've gone up to 9 lists.) SSELECT is best if you can use file ID's. Even if you don't have a file structure already built, you can create a temp file, write your data elements to be sorted out as ID's then use SSELECT. Amazing what some programmers will do to avoid writing code :-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chuck Mongiovi Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 2:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] merge sort Does anyone know where I can get code for a generic BASIC Merge SORT routine? -Chuck --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] [UD] Returning data to ksh
Thanks guys. I ended up using a file based on the calling shell's PID.
