Re: [U2] Changed BASIC varname<1,-1>

[Kate Stanton]

IIRC, INFORMATION was the same as PICK used to be: varname<1,-1> = x when x 
was blank did not add a value mark, whatever the contents of varname.  If 
INFORMATION now does as you say, then some time in the last 20+ years it 
changed.


My problem is that it has changed!

Nobody seems to have mentioned the logic ...

Again, I can't speak for Pick behaviour, but in INFORMATION and its
derivatives

-1 puts the new data in a new (sub)field at the end. If it's adding to
an empty string it assumes there is no existing field and puts the new
data in (sub)field 1. Of course, if the new data is the empty string ...
you can guess what happens.

So if I start with an empty string and append a bunch of empty strings
using -1, I will end up with the empty string. But if I have ANYthing in
that string to start with, adding an empty string will result in a new
delimiter and empty string being appended.

X = @VM
X<1,-1> = ""

now gives me X equal to @VM:@VM

But
X = ""
X<1,-1> = ""

leaves me with X still equal to ""

Wol

Thanks Ray.

We have (stupidly, it seems) relied on the -1 behaviour, using it when I

want to add a subfield if there is data, but not to add a blank
subfield.

I shall report this as a bug, but if the change in behaviour of user
number
is any guide, I don't expect much response. (sigh!)

It's been around for a long time, which is why $OPTIONS EXTRA.DELIM
exists.  I don't often work in Pick flavor, so can't speak

authoritatively

as to what proper default behaviour ought to be.  But what you

describe

is, was, and should be the default behaviour in the non-Pick flavors.

RE: [U2] [UV] Veritas and UniVerse?

[colin.alfke]

UniData used to have a problem with the noninteractive desktop heap size
- fixed in version 6. I'd been surprised (and disappointed) if it was
the same problem that is in UV 10.1.  

I also have a tech tip that was posted to the list a couple of years
back. Not sure how much is still relevant to UV 10.1. 

Hth
Colin Alfke
Calgary Canada

This problem was brought to our attention on systems running
Seagate 
Backup Software. Seagate makes a change to a registry
setting to get 
around User32.dll errors in Windows NT (per Seagate's Tech 
Note). Seagate obtained this information from Microsoft's
Knowledge 
Base Article Q142676. Ardent tech support believes 
that Microsoft's solution causes Kernal32.dll errors on
servers 
running UniData and/or UniVerse, so they recommend a
different 
solution.
The poor RDBMS performance and low number of users allowed
to login 
is due to an insufficiently sized non-interactive heap.
Increasing 
this setting has resulted in noticeably improved server
performance.

Solution:

The following solutions should be tried one at a time. After
each 
fix, check the server to see if the problem has been
corrected. It 
is strongly recommended to NOT apply every step at one time.
Make 
only the minimum changes necessary to correct the problem.
Excessive 
registry modifications may cause conflicts in other areas
that will 
be very difficult to troubleshoot.

(1). Check the virtual memory setting, located in START |
Settings | 
Control Panel | System. This opens the "System Properties"
applet. 
Select the "Performance" tab. The Virtual Memory setting is 
displayed and can be changed from here.

(2). Open the following registry key using REGEDIT or
REGEDT32.
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurentControlSet/Control/SessionManager/SubSys
tem/Windows

The entire string will be similar to:
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows 
SharedSection=1024,3072 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows 
ServerDll=basesrv,1
ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 
ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2
ProfileControl=Off

MaxRequestThreads=16

Look for the sub-string: SharedSection=XXX,YYY,ZZZ

XXX - is the size of the global heap in kilobytes.
YYY- is the size of the interactive desktop (system wide)
heap in 
kilobytes.
ZZZ- is the size of the non-interactive (hidden) desktop
heap in
kilobytes.

If ZZZ is increased then more objects can be created per
desktop. 
This value is a Multi-String (edit it using Multi-String on
the Edit 
menu).

The default value says 1024,3072. This should be changed to:
If the user is using SEAGATE change to 1024,3072,1024
If the user is not using SEAGATE change to 1024,3072,8192.

NOTE: Microsoft's solution is to change ZZZ to 512. This 
occasionally results in Kernal32.dll errors. Epicor
recommends 
setting ZZZ to 8192.

Reboot to effect the change.

(3). Delete RegistrySizeLimit from 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control

(4). Set PagePoolSize to 0 at 
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Memor
y 
Management.

(5). If the problem persists then try this step as a last
resort.

Open the registry key
 
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Afd/Parameters
and add 4 new keys. Each key should be of type REG_DWORD:

Key Name Hex Value Decimal Value
InitialLargeBufferCount 0x1e 30
IrpStackSize 0x8 8
LargeBufferSize 0x1000 4096
MediumBufferSize 0xbc0 3008

Reboot to effect the change.

RE: [U2] Problem with Canon ImageRunner 5000 Printer

[Kevin King]

We have not tried a full power cycle as the printer is heavily used by
all sorts of apps around the office.  But we have tried sending a job
through that has the same printer settings that we want from Unidata,
then sending the Unidata job, which fails as it has in every other
test, demanding 11 x 17 in tray 2 - which incidentally cannot hold
that big of paper.

Yes, the default paper size configured on the printer is 8.5 x 11,
tray 2, which holds exactly that kind of paper.

Our UV (unix) interfaces with the job handling PC via lpd/lpr.
So I don't use the windows drivers..

Oh BTW, do you have problems sending .pdf files to your IR from
a windows program? Our IR's take FOREVER to process pdf documents.

David,

Backup Exec has a default setting to backup open files "with" a lock.  This 
will tend to terminate any UV processes that try to write to the files during 
the backup.  Change the backup settings to backup open files "without" a lock.

Re: [U2] Problem with Canon ImageRunner 5000 Printer

[ted]

Kevin,

I tangled with an ImageRunner for days and was pulling my hair out trying to 
get it to draw from the correct tray.
Here is what I concluded: The IR accepts and processes PCL codes but is 
actually PostScript oriented. I'll bet that the NT drivers that are working 
properly are PS drivers, correct? What the printer wants to know is, "what 
paper do you want? Let ME pick the tray because I know where the paper is", not 
"what tray do you want to pick from?". When you tell it with a PCL code what 
tray you want, the printer second guesses the program and demands user 
intervention. What it really is asking is, "yeah, I know you picked this TRAY, 
but is this really the PAPER that you want?" In the PS vernacular, there is a 
way to do this, but I don't know PS. I tried combinations of paper and tray PCL 
codes, but I never got it to work.

I created a document describing this problem and pushed it up the Canon tech 
support ladder as far as I could. No help from them.

Perhaps George was on the right track with the PJL codes. I'll be damned it 
that works - we sold the IRs because of this problem!!

Ted
