RE: [U2] RE:Merging Unique
What the advantage of the MERGE.LIST is it will sort/merge ANYTHING in the lists, whereas SELECT will only lists that are @ID's. So, you could say: SELECT SOMEFILE SAVING UNIQUE EMAILS TO 1 SELECT SOMEOTHERFILE SAVING UNIQUE EMAILS TO 2 MERGE.LIST 1 UNION 2 SAVE.LIST BIGEMAILLIST And it would be sorted (not by domain), and there won't be a duplicate George > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andy Baum > Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 4:30 AM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: RE: [U2] RE:Merging Unique > > > Greg, > > MERGE.LIST removes all duplicates and sorts the keys, it's a > feature of how it is implemented. > > Cheers, > > Andy --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] - Java - AJAX
I expect that they will post it in the near term at www.javasig.com. Ben demo'd AJAX techniques by coding from scratch with the IntelliJ IDE on a Mac notebook, in front of the ~250 attendees there, an AJAX zip code lookup thing. He talked about synchronous vs asynchronous client-host communications. He talked about Google maps. While it seems to be the best location mapping software, and although there have been a lot of oohs and ahhs from the market, he demoed some reverse-engineered 250 lines of code to do Google maps can be written by mere mortals in two hours. While I care about Swing a lot, most of the attendees were more interested in web-browser clients. To wrap up, Ben mentioned the dilema choosing between say Swing and AJAX. Ben indicated that at Sun and other places, people are working on frameworks for "filthy-rich clients". Thus, even though the browser clients can be made to be more robust via AJAX techniques, multi-media Java tools and clients having much more oomph and are expected to appear by say September-2006. I like Swing-clients for in-house use and browser-clients for remote users. Ben highlighted some of the advanced features of Mozilla's Firefox useful to AJAX developers.

Instead, it's best to keep re-molding the same technologies until enough people put it into commercial products. Then it can be called a "mainstream" technology and the market can be changed by direct force. Gah. I'm totally sick of web development. Just building a navigation structure that won't break in situation "Z" is a total PITA these days. And NOooo, you can't have just a "plain-jane" text-based web site anymore. It has to be "intuitive" and "visually appealing". Whatever happen to plain `ole cross-the-board-functionality? I guess the good `ole days went out when the browser wars started. :/ Glen --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Email has different SMTP TO: and MIME TO: fields in the email addresses - [U2] Steve Cashman
This happened with another email list I was on, where all current and former subscribers to the University of Washington's World Dance list were getting every email that was sent to the list server. And when they sent "TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST!!!" email to the list server, that also went to every current and former subscriber. It was quite frustrating to some, but I thought it was hilarious, and sent that thought to the list server, which broadcast it to everyone. Many people replied saying they appreciated my take on the situation, and I met several fine people that day, from as far away as Cornell (he used to live in Seattle). So let me repeat myself: Chill! This is fun! Maybe Steve our U2UG will take us all out to dinner! Or he'll pay us $1.23 for every email we forward to Bill Gates. *":)* -- Louie Bergsagel On 2/27/06, Dianne Ackerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, it is pretty annoying, isn't it? > -Dianne > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >Is anybody else receiving duplicate emails from this weekend?

[U2] Changes to mail list configurations
We have made some changes to the mailing list configuration files in an attempt to reduce some of the problems we have been experiencing these past few days. There have been two primary problems (one of which has resulted in old mail getting reposted to the list several days after it was originally posted). The first problem, which I know EVERYONE has seen first hand is the proliferation of "out of the office" replies to the list from brain-dead mailers. The other problem is that we have been seeing an inordinately large number of bounce messages from various smtp servers indicating that mail could not be delivered due to too many hops, indicating a "mail loop". A common cause of mail loops is smtp servers that don't understand the difference between an envelope address and a 'reply-to' address. To alleviate these problems, we have made a change to the configuration of all of the u2ug hosted mailing lists (u2-users, u2-community, rbsolutions and sbsolutions, and all of their digests) to remove the 'reply-to' header from all outgoing list messages. What does this mean to you? It means this: * If you click 'reply' to respond to a list message, your response will go ONLY to the original sender of the message. * If you click 'reply to ALL', your reply will go to BOTH the original sender AND back to the list. This means that you will need to pay a little more attention to how you reply to messages. It also means that you may end up receiving two copies of responses to any message you post: one from the list, and one directly from the responder. This also means that 'out of office' replies should be sent ONLY to the the originator of any given messages, NOT back to the list. The more you post to the list, the more you'll hear from Mr. Cashman ;-) We apologize for any confusion this may cause, but we felt it was necessary, and a reasonable trade-off to help alleviate the other issues.

Re: [U2] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Email has different SMTP TO: and MIME TO: fields in the email addresses - RE: [U2] Steve Cashman
There is another option. Don't use auto-response messages. After all if the people in your office don't know you're gone then you've got to start interfacing more with the people you work with. If they don't notice when you're gone then they probably don't notice when you're there. - Original Message - From: "Glen B" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2006 2:57 PM Subject: [U2] [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Email has different SMTP TO: and MIME TO: fields in the email addresses - RE: [U2] Steve Cashman It's not as simple as you might think. There have been long heated discussions about how to deal with vacation auto-responders on lists - including Majordomo. In the end, there's 2 options: 1) A subject filter that drops all messages with "out of the office" and "away on vacation" somewhere in the subject. That will also kill real postings with the strings in them. Also, various away responders may have different subject styles so the rules you implement may only work 50% of the time. As the list grows, the chances of a variety of vacation clutter grows. 2) The second option, which is typical for people who openly use mailing lists, is to set up your auto-responder to not send 'away' replies to e-mail addresses that are mailing lists. That can be done with partial address matching or by specifying the e-mail addresses manually. It only takes one step, by you or your mail admin, and it's dealt with for good. It would be great if people in very active lists, like U2-users, took the time to exclude their list subscriptions from their auto-responders.

RE: [U2] - Java - AJAX
I share Glen's frustration with the increasing dependency on browsers and increasing complexity being built into them. I'll add a decreasing appreciation for the effort required to support this technology. This results in many people expecting that just because everyone has a browser on their desktop that creating a rich client experience is somehow easy, low-cost, and/or fast to develop. Thankfully our clients have more realistic expectations than some of the people who don't sign with us for development services.

The files I can't write to have one thing in common: indices on I-Descriptors that run Datatel-specific "Envision" code. That code won't run if the environment isn't properly set up. And I have no idea how to make "FR.JUMPSTART" and "ENVINIT" run as part of an NFA connection. :::sigh::: All this because we could never get ODBC to work from Unix.

RE: [U2] Changes to mail list configurations
This is a relatively minor change and the dark side of the force seem to be gathering strength against it. The list headers still have the u2ug address in them and your rules should still apply. If not, then change them so they do! Perhaps the dark side haven't really explained themselves well but I can't understand what the fuss is about. There seem to be a number of hypotheticals that assume people are incapable of managing change. I would note again, this is NOT a unique list situation. This is in fact, a more common setup than one thinks. Perhaps somebody could subscribe to the Sun Managers list, one does not reply to the list, only to the sender and the sender then publishes a summary, or perhaps one or two of the MySQL lists which use exactly this system. All lists to which I subscribe use their own methods for managing the reply, you just get used to them. The subscribers to these lists seem to handle the situation quite well. In fact, I note recent posters to this list, have all managed to reply to the list without issue and my outlook rules have placed their messages in the correct folder.

Seems a little silly to have manual procedures to conform to some list software doesn't it? Now when I do get a double posting from this forum, since they both have "[U2]" and other common markers, all mail gets to my U2 List folder. I'd rather not change my filters until someone here decides which way the wind will blow. As an example of how this "reply-all" policy is not working: I don't send directly to the list, I send through a remailer so that my e-mail address isn't broadcast to the world. But that shouldn't matter to anyone else, and it never has. Now, I need to manually paste the right e-mail address into the To field. I'll accept this as something unique to me if indeed it is, but again, I don't need to do this for any other lists - how about just getting some listserver software that works like DadaMail? (http://mojo.skazat.com/ free, open source, feature rich, well supported, popular...) It also looks like the list is accepting mail from unauthorized mail sources. I think I accidentally posted mail from an address not subscribed to the list. I dunno if this is new or not.

RE: [U2] Changes to mail list configurations
Hi Tony, Thanks for your comments. This is not a "completely unique solution" -- it's actually the way most of the other mailing lists that I've been on are run (and I'm currently on over a dozen), and it's the practice recommended by the author of Majordomo. I ignored his advice when I initially setup the lists, because I thought it would be "easier" for the users to simply click reply. I don't know of too many mail readers that filter or thread based on the Reply-to address. The sender, from and to addresses and subject lines, which is what the vast majority of filtering and threading is based on, haven't changed at all. Yes, you have a valid point about subscribers accidentally responding off-list, and I was concerned about that. But, I figure we're all intelligent professionals who are capable of managing change. To reiterate: * If you want to respond to the list, click "REPLY TO ALL" * If you want to respond off-list, click "REPLY" If you click reply to all, you can still edit the "to:" field and remove the extra email address so the response goes only to the list, and not to both the list and the originator.

I'll change it back if I can forward all the administrivia messages to YOUR email, and you agree to manage all the bounces, mail delivery & forwarding errors, etc. ;-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Gravagno Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 2:03 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Changes to mail list configurations This is breaking all kinds of things including filters, remailers, and maybe threading for some reader programs.

RE: [U2] Changes to mail list configurations
A) I don't understand why you would have to change anything to send your email to the list through a remailer. B) the list does NOT accept email from unsubscribed users. I manually approved your recent post that was sent from an unsubscribed address because I felt it was germaine, and I didn't want to wait for a bounce/reply/re-post cycle.

Seems a little silly to have manual procedures to conform to some list software doesn't it? Now when I do get a double posting from this forum, since they both have "[U2]" and other common markers, all mail gets to my U2 List folder. I'd rather not change my filters until someone here decides which way the wind will blow. As an example of how this "reply-all" policy is not working: I don't send directly to the list, I send through a remailer so that my e-mail address isn't broadcast to the world. But that shouldn't matter to anyone else, and it never has. Now, I need to manually paste the right e-mail address into the To field. I'll accept this as something unique to me if indeed it is, but again, I don't need to do this for any other lists - how about just getting some listserver software that works like DadaMail? (http://mojo.skazat.com/ free, open source, feature rich, well supported, popular...) It also looks like the list is accepting mail from unauthorized mail sources. I think I accidentally posted mail from an address not subscribed to the list. I dunno if this is new or not. Without digging through headers I can't tell exactly what happened and I don't have time for such things.

Surely the subscribers are not that silly. I know the average age of the Universe/Unidata afficionado is slowly creeping upward, but this doesn't mean we can't absorb change. My outlook filter still managed to get this into the correct folder. One list I subscribe to doesn't include the list address in posted messages, so you can't even use the "reply-all" option and have to key in the list address. The current setup of the U2 list is at least a little easier. This particular debate has been going on for many years, and for those unfamiliar, see "The Great Reply-to Debate" section at this link: http://producingoss.com/html-chunk/mailing-lists.html There are pros and cons both ways. I can only add that, based on my own experience with other lists, I got used to the posting method of the particular list fairly quickly even when I found it initially inconvenient. -John -- John Hester System & Network Administrator Momentum Group Inc.

Well, geez. If we're voting, I vote for the new way. After all . . . http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html (and, yes, I expect the response article will be referred to quickly enough here.) Just about every list I belong to has had this very same discussion. Just about every one has switched to this new way.

RE: [U2] Changes to mail list configurations
I couldn't care less what Sun or MySql does; the MV market was built on rationality not inconvenient standards de'jour, so why should we have to "twiddle" with a simple reply due to some "technical" reason? Argh. Sadly there is a large world out there that can't be ignored. As Larry put it, this is the usual way that most lists use. I run a couple of lists myself and this is normal behaviour. Perhaps one of the reasons why there aren't that many new people coming into the u2 arena is encapsulated in the response above. We, as a community, need to know what else is going on in the world. Unfortunately taking the insular path does not always work. The love of rationality has nowt to do with the real world.

Re: [U2] Changes to mail list configurations
Well, maybe in the spirit of democracy, the U2UG should vote for their preference. I like the new way myself, as it is much harder to accidently email everyone when I just want to respond to the sender, and easier to do both. Before, I would have to cut and paste the sender's name into the "to" window if I wanted to reply only to them. This is much easier. And if this 53-year-old can remember the new feature, all you youngsters should be able to also! -- Louie On 2/27/06, Bob Little <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Bill Haskett wrote: > > Please forgive my attitude; I've almost completed a D3 to UniData > conversion > > project and have been wondering why any non-MV developer would ever use > U2 > > and any MV developer would use UniData. > > > > Bill > > > > > I'd like to hear more of this conversion story and the opinions it > fostered.

[U2] connection within UniVerse and Oracle
I am trying to establish a connection between UniVerse 10.1 ( aix unix ) and Oracle (Window 2003), has anyone done this before? I was told to either use socket connection or ODBC. It seems that it is not that easy to use socket connection talking to Oracle, so I am thinking of using ODBC? Any ideas. Thanks.
