I can't seem to find it now but I'm sure I read in the release notes for

Is there a way to run a phantom process as another user using the

We have a situation where we have a background phantom process
periodically monitoring a directory on another server.  But, when the
user that launched the phantom processor changes their password, the

the phantom process 'run as' another user account that has the minimum
access it needs where the password does not ever expire and create the
failed open file problem.

We are simply opening the file as a "F" voc pointer with line 2

[U2] ThoroughBred to U2 file conversion

[Bob Witney]

Hi guys:

I am looking at dumping data held in a ThoroughBred system, which I understand 
uses its own ISAM/B-Tree file access methods, to delimited flat ascii so that I 
can then upload onto a U2 database (Universe 10 under AIX 5.2)

Does anyone know of software which will do this or is there anyone out there 
who has done it  and could point us in the right direction ?

Re: [U2] [UV] Run phantom as another user

[Lembit Pirn]

One of the possibilites is probably to start shell script , in which you 
can change UID, start phantom and exit it.

[U2] UniVerse Internals Course (UK)

[Martin Phillips]

The UniVerse Internals course scheduled for the week starting 14 February at
IBM's UK training centre is currently looking in doubt as there are not
enough bookings to make it viable.

If you are UK based and want to know how UniVerse really works, I strongly
recommend this course (OK, I'm teaching it!). It covers many of the topics
that appear on this list and much, much more.

Day 1: Architecture, the system admin account, interfaces, etc.
Day 2: Shared memory, the locking system, memory analysis tools
Day 3: The file system - How it works
Day 4: The file system - When it all goes wrong; tuning files, repairing
corruptions, etc
Day 5: The run machine, performance tuning, the spooler

Contact IBM's training department on 020-8818-1169 for more details.

Thoroughbred is a version of business basic. They have a website at
www.tbred.com where you can find manuals. www.basis.com is a good place to
look for general business basic info. At
http://www.basis-knowledgebase.com/kb00012.html they describe how to write a
program to dump a file to ascii.

Re: [U2] ThoroughBred to U2 file conversion

[Mark Johnson]

If you have the time and or inclination you could look up the DICE company
in the burgular-alarm security monitoring business. It's written in
Thoroughbred and they spend a lot of time converting from a big seller in
that industry called ABM which is written in Pick to DICE. Backwards yes,
but at least they know both sides.

RE: [U2] ThoroughBred to U2 file conversion

[Richard Taylor]

Wow, I have not heard that name in a while.

I had to convert a client off ThoroughBred to a Universe base ERP system
many years ago.  We never did find a good, direct export function.
Instead we printed reports to text files then used a product called
Monarch to map these files and covert the data to a format we could import
into U2.  A bit tedious yes, but it worked fairly well.

If you do dump stuff to text file, I've got a program I've called HOLLLOAD to 
load fixed-width stuff into a UV file. I'll try and post it at PickWiki in the 
next few days. If the text is in a "punchcard" style format you just tell 
HOLLLOAD which fields to use and how wide they are (it reads the default from 
the dictionary), and up it comes into file!

RE: [U2] ThoroughBred to U2 file conversion

[David Wolverton]

I convert people from ThroroughBred at least once a quarter... For a fact,
the easiest method is to get them to either send reports to text files, or
get a programmer to write a simple dump file...

In my case, I have them write the data into a dump file delimitted by
'Pipes' (|), a record per line ... I convert the line breaks to attributes
(254) and the pipes to values (253), then TRIM the whole thing since they
are all fixed-length fields... I then run a loop to REMOVE a record and
parse and import...

Works pretty fast - I can import the data WAY faster than their processes
can export the files.

I guess I've done 6 or 8 or so of these conversions, but have always has
someone who knew the data on their Thoroughbred side, as the files I work
with are **really bad** as far as data integrity, but that's more about the
application than about Thoroughbred!! (And a reason we get them as
customers! )

If you know UniBasic, you can slog your way through BusinessBasic - Myself,
I learned about programming from MAI Basic/IV - the people that gave us
BusinessBasic!  I think Thoroughbred actually has variable names that are
not I0$ and A2$ like when I worked with BB4. Once you get used to the file
and printer 'channels', it's not that different to work with.

[U2] Catastrophe in realloc

[Ron Hutchings]

Running on AIX 4.3.3, Universe 9.6
I have a job processing a sequential file in &HOLD&.  It processes about a 
third of the file then halts with the error "Catastrophe in realloc: invalid 
storage prointer"  IOT/Abort trap.  I have looked through the probrams and 
files and nothing seems to be wrong.  I was able to successfully process the 
file on our test system which runs on a separate server, same AIX, same 
Universe revisions.

Does anyone recognize this error and can point me in a direction?
Thanks,

RE: [U2] ThoroughBred to U2 file conversion

[Ed Clark]

The DICE people do their abm conversions from captured reports, so they
wouldn't be much help. A number of years ago I converted a DICE system in
thoroughbred to ABM in universe using the kmecsv utility I found at
http://prog-net.com/tbred.html. Unfortunatly the links there are dead, but
maybe you could find the owner of the page, or contact someone else on the
"Business Basic Web ring" (linked from the page) and find a copy.
The system I had to work with didn't have odbc, but that version of
thoroughbred did have a simple query tool that could be used to print data.
Going the captured report/monarch route may be the best way to go if you
can't get odbc, can't find kmecsv, and don't want to pay a business basic
consultant.

Re: [U2] ThoroughBred to U2 file conversion

[vforste]

I know nothing about ThoroughBred, so I'm talking in general. I've done a
couple of conversions from some relics and picked up this little trick.

The Monarch method works great for any conversion, but if you know nothing
about the system and/or it's database and the reports provide enough data to
do the conversion. Setup a Laptop/PC as a printer and use a terminal
emulation package to capture the output to a file. Then use Monarch to map
and covert the data. Rather clumsy way of doing it but it works and needs no
knowledge of the database you are converting from. The only requirement is
that the existing system can produce reports.

RE: [U2] ThoroughBred to U2 file conversion

Can you display the data on a terminal screen?

Twelve years ago(!) we had a wIntegrate user who imported records from 
half-inch tapes (anyone remember half-inch tapes?) by using the Edit Play menu 
option to scroll the data up the emulation screen. He captured it to a file, 
and added commas to make it CSV format which was transferred to R83 Pick.

Oh good, it's not just me!

I too remember something coming out about it being a new feature (in

about it either now.

Have the IBM people stopped lurking on this list?  I'd have expected
them to come back on this by now.

RE: [U2] Catastrophe in realloc

[Rosenberg Ben]

The release notes for Universe 9.5.2 mention that error message
as the symptom of a GTAR that was supposedly fixed as of 9.5.2.

Which version of 9.6 are you running?

Also, if you're not getting the error message on your test system
that might be related to system load and/or to different hardware,
and/or to different configuration.  Do you have enough paging
space on your production system?  (Maybe malloc is failing.)

Re: [U2] ThoroughBred to U2 file conversion

[Bruce Nichol]

Goo'day, Bob,
Oh dear, oh dear!
The last time we converted from Thoroughbred to a Pick derivitive, vanilla 
R83, was IIRC, 1986 and we had to print reports from T/bred to paper, get 
the reports processed to 9track mag tape (!!!), then converted from mag 
tape at an ADDS Mentor, then to diskette to the R83 box.

I sincerely hope for your sake you don't have to follow the same path.

Hi guys:
I am looking at dumping data held in a ThoroughBred system, which I 
understand uses its own ISAM/B-Tree file access methods, to delimited flat 
ascii so that I can then upload onto a U2 database (Universe 10 under AIX 5.2)

Does anyone know of software which will do this or is there anyone out 
there who has done it  and could point us in the right direction ?

Re: Unclassified RE: [U2] [UV] Run phantom as another user

[Leroy Dreyfuss]

>From the UV 10.0.19 patchlist file:

Issue  Short Description
-  -
3766 In order to run a phantom process as a different user, an
 enhancement has been made to the PHANTOM command. The
 syntax is as follows:

 PHANTOM [BRIEF] [SQUAWK] command -U username
[password]

 When you are logged in as root, you can specify -U and the
 username to run the phantom process as a different user. On
 Windows platforms, you must also specify the password for the
 username.

Oh good, it's not just me!

I too remember something coming out about it being a new feature (in
10.1 I think), but I can't find anything in my IBM or U2UG archives
about it either now.

Have the IBM people stopped lurking on this list?  I'd have expected
them to come back on this by now.

I can't seem to find it now but I'm sure I read in the release notes for
one of the new releases that a user name can be specified at the command
line when launching a phantom now.

[U2] Universe upgrade 10.1.2 to 10.1.4

[Dennis Bartlett]

for what its worth we did this upgrade last night, and had a problem in
that the installation disk contained only a single directory in root,
called Universe. The script however referenced the install scripts as
being in root, and not in a second level directory.

The install failed.

We then re-did it setting the REWIND / NO-REWIND options to
/cdrom/Universe

and it went through.


How come Win32 can create installs that just work, and U2, having been
around a lot longer, still requires reading and interacting with a text
based screen?

Wouldn't that remove just about everybody from this list. Average age of a
multi-value programmer must be 45 with 10-25 years experience.
