It's good to hear positive > things about a relatively new function. Dean, I just want to clear up what looks like a little bit of confusion. I mentioned replication as a UniData built-in, but I have no direct experience of that myself. I believe there were a few folk on this list looking at that when it first came out, I don't recall anyone either screaming about how useless it was, or raving about its wonders. A re-post of your question might well elicit some useful feedback. What I meant to point out was that it is possible (if you know what you are doing) to use UniData's RFS which has been around since 4.1 IIRC to implement a Disaster Recovery strategy (what I meant by DR). UniData do not document this as an option, but so long as you can keep the pathnames the same between production and DR servers, there is no problem with copying the RFS archive logs across from one machine to the other and using mediarec to do a rollforward. I have this configured to run automatically for my client and every 15 minutes the current archive log is copied over the net, while every night, after the backup is completed it is also copied across the network and automatically restored onto the DR machine. Thus at start of business each day the production and DR boxes have synchronised databases and in the event of a catastrophic failure of the production machine all that is needed is a shutdown of UniData on the DR box and a mediarec to bring it up to the minute with transactions from todays archive logs which will, at most be 15 minutes out of date. Obviously this isn't ideal, but it is far better than having to go back to a backup, and the benefit of having the DR box up and available for reporting purposes every day outweighs the delay involved with taking it back down again to do a rollforward if a failure occurs. To be honest, my experience is that on the occasions when we have had to do such failovers, the delay in getting the systems people to acknowledge that the primary machine is not going to be back anytime soon is longer than the delay getting the secondary machine online as its replacement. Anyhow, my experience with RFS is that it is very resilient and scaleable, with little impact on performance for online enquiries and transactions except the use of a little more memory, but some noticeable impact on batch IO performance (maybe an extra 50% on the time taken to run my clients end of day bulk updating procedures if they do those with RFS switched on).

[U2] Re: Comments from Users Digest
One client has an A/R file with such a large array (235,000 attributes). upon READing the XREF and using DCOUNT, I put a 50,000 fork in the road. If less than 50,000, the regular application uses the XREF sans REMOVE. If over 50,000, then it was easier to SELECT the file independent of the XREF. For the sake of this argument, I'll try REMOVE on this D3 client and get back in a week. Thanks. - Original Message - From: Bob Williams To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 1:07 PM Subject: Comments from Users Digest I saw what appeared to be an e-mail from you in the User's Digest concerning the REMOVE command. As I didn't read the entire message, what I am going to pass on may have already been discussed 100 times, or you may be very familiar with it already. If you are working with a large dynamic array of a thousand or more elements, in order to get to element 1000, the software will need to skip over 999 elements while looking for the 1000th element. Often times the programmer is processing the elements sequentially, and this is where the REMOVE comes in handy. This statement keeps a pointer into the dynamic array, so that if you just removed element 999 and then want to remove 1000, it knows exactly where that element is, without the need to chin through the first 999 elements to find it. The results are significant. When I previously worked for a software house, we had an application that was taking hours to process, and the customer was becoming more and more dissatisfied with how long it was taking. I happened to be talking to the lady who was working the problem, and she described what the application was doing - processing a very large dynamic array from beginning to end. The net of it was that when I had her use the REMOVE statement to pull the items out of the dynamic array, processing time went from well over an hour to about a minute. This was with no other changes to the application. I had made the changes myself, and when it ran so fast, we both assumed that I had somehow screwed it up! My guess is that if you never see dynamic arrays with more than a hundred or so elements, the REMOVE statement won't really buy you anything, but in this case, the dynamic array had about 30,000 elements in it, as I recall, and for this it was a real help. It's a good statement if you can use it, and if all of this is old information, please pardon the interruption - from one old duffer to another. ;)) --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

The comments I've received regarding journaling have warned us to stay away from it as it is old technology and doesn't scale well.

I'm the "captive" programmer for a system that is just full of the "infidel EOF" type logic. Said system runs on UniVerse but started life as an Ultimate application. Since that is all I've ever seen in the system, that's what I've always used.

RE: [U2] [UV] GET.LIST
Some platforms (mvEnterprise I believe) distinguish between a GET.LIST verb that only works on the pointer-file, and a GLIST verb that works from anyfile. If you don't want to change the flavor setting on the GET.LIST verb (although that sounds like a good way to go) you could easily write your own GLIST verb using QSELECT and temporary q-pointers. Then you could take your code, and your GLIST to any platform or flavor and have it all work as expected. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Dianne Ackerman > Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 3:51 PM > To: U2 List Server > Subject: [U2] [UV] GET.LIST > > > On a reality flavor UV account, I can do GET.LIST ACCOUNTNAME > LISTNAME > to get a list which exists on another account.

Herbert - Connectivity Development Engineer Information Integration Solutions, IBM Software Group 50 Washington Street Westboro, MA 01581 508-599-7281 direct Dianne Ackerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/14/2005 03:50 PM Please respond to u2-users To U2 List Server cc Subject [U2] [UV] GET.LIST On a reality flavor UV account, I can do GET.LIST ACCOUNTNAME LISTNAME to get a list which exists on another account. But on PICK flavor, I don't seem to be able to do that. When I read the manual help on GET.LIST I don't see anything about getting a list from another account for any flavor. Is there some other syntax on the PICK flavor account I can use to accomplish this?
