RE: [U2] Phantom problem
Pankaj I don't know which point release of 6.1 you were on - but this was a change in 6.1.7 (Unix only): Issue 7427 - Problem Description UniData -- After a PHANTOM process was invoked, entering Ctrl-C at the ECL prompt in the session that invoked the PHANTOM caused the PHANTOM process to stop. This has been fixed. In the meanwhile (if you need to upgrade) try disabling CTRL-C in stty.

The program is basically a phantom and runs at 9 PM. The steps to trigger the phantoms are: From a menu item, user selects the option. Then a Proc is called and collects the data required by the phantom and then it kicks off the phantom. The phantom SLEEPs upto 9PM and generates the report after that. Now the problem is any other process (don't know) kills this phantom while it is sleeping and no report is generated. Is there any command (unix level/UNIDATA level) available through which I can see which process is killing the phantom (or what is the problem with the phantom). The PH file tells that PHANTOM completed successfully without any error logs in it. Is there any utility/commands/logs available which I can use for further analysis? Thanks. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Phantom problem
Oh yes - another change in UniData 7 in this area - I have put both below in the thread to keep them together. UniData 7.1.3 Issue 8597 - Problem Description UniData -- Beginning at UniData 6.1.0, if a PHANTOM process was launched from a udt session, and that udt session was closed improperly, such as being killed from the shell level, the PHANTOM process terminated. Although this problem may have occurred on any UNIX platform, it was most easily observed on AIX, and has been fixed. UniData 6.1.7 Issue 7427 - Problem Description UniData -- After a PHANTOM process was invoked, entering Ctrl-C at the ECL prompt in the session that invoked the PHANTOM caused the PHANTOM process to stop. This has been fixed. Regards JayJay --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
[U2] Trying to upgrading from Uv 9.6.2.5 to Uv 10.1.14
U2er's, We are currently running Universe 9.6.2.5 on an IBM F50 running AIX 4.3.3. I'm trying to upgrade from Universe 9.6.2.5 to Universe 10.1.14 from a CD. I don't believe UV 9.6 had a definition for the CD drive or else it has been deleted. While trying to install from the command 'uv.load', I receive the following dialog: Shutting down uniVerse DeadLock Daemon shutdown uniVerse has been brought down. Downloading from /cdrom to /uv Now loading uniVerse from the install media... A file or directory in the path name does not exist. ./uv.load[1255]: /cdrom/: 0403-016 Cannot find or open the file. Unable to read installation media. Contact your IBM support representative. Does anyone have a DEVICE definiton for the cd rom drive (/dev/cd0)? Or does anyone know of a alternative method for upgrading? ie copying the files from the cd to an area on the machine and installing from there. Perhaps a fix for the 'uv.load' script? BTW: /mnt is mounted as follows: /dev/cd0 609632 0 100% 152408 100% /mnt Thanks, Denny Watkins Director Computer Services Morningside College 1501 Morningside Ave Sioux City, Ia 51106-1717 Phone: 1-712-274-5250 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Trying to upgrading from Uv 9.6.2.5 to Uv 10.1.14
Your cd is mounted on /mnt and you are trying to load from /cdrom. When the install script runs it allows you to change the rewind and norewind devices. Change these to /mnt or remount the cd through smit on /cdrom and do as you are trying to do. The install program does not use DEVICE at all.

Mike,
You can do this, you just tweak the DOS verb to include an H in
attribute 4 or 5.
Changed Attribute 4 from TICERGM to TICERGMH
And it _does_ work, even stays there when the UV transaction is rolled
back.
Now, I wonder if I can get the SysAdmins to make that change in
Production ...
;-)
Mike
Cheers
Phil

Thanks, Jim
That's brilliant ... Except it doesn't work in Transaction
State because you can't do a DOS /c ..., you get a 'Verb DOS
illegal
when a transaction is active' error. Darn, it would have been really
useful otherwise.
That's why we need a UV-supported method.
But actually, if you're on UV 10.1 you can use the new GCI function
UVRunCommand [see Issue Number 5616 in the Release Notes] even in
transaction State.
Gee, another reason to upgrade! :-)

Well, for Windows platforms, you can do something like this
(this is from ECL, but with a tiny bit of code...):
:! eventcreate /t information /id 999 /l System /so MyModule /d
Error Test
/t = ERROR | WARNING | INFORMATION
/id = Event ID
/l (lowercase L) = APPLICATION OR SYSTEM /so = SourceName
(any text, but most likely it's the offending program name)
/d = Description
There are many other options (you can even specify a different
computer to send the event information to).

Jim

[U2] Unidata dbpause ( unix)
Hi - I need a script to check if dbpause is on (using the dbpause_status command) I am trying to pipe the output through grep so I can tell the user in their login profile that the database is paused for certain reasons, and do they really really need to login The pipe doesn't seem to work , nor does redirection to a temporary file Is there a way around this?

And parse out the information you need? Mike, that isn't a good idea. The VOC is written to a number of times during login. If dbpause is on, these writes will hang until it is off again. I'd try two things: 1) Ignore the text output by dbpause_status, simply look at the exit status after it is run. If anybody with a brain coded it, the status will be different when dbpause is on from when it is off. dbpause_status dbpause_stat=$? echo $dbpause_stat if [ $dbpause_stat -eq 0 ] then # maybe this means dbpause is off? udt else # maybe this means it is on? echo are you really sure? fi Sadly this isn't documented, so maybe nobody coded it that way ... 2) See if the message output by dbpause_status is written to stderr instead of stdout, so redirect both: dbpause_text=$(dbpause_status 21) if echo $dbpause_text | grep -iq on then echo $dbpause_text echo are you really sure? fi HTH, Cheers, Ken PS. mumble, mumble, bloody Hurricanes ... mumble, mumble --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
