RE: [U2] Unidata proc manual

2006-08-09 Thread Ron Hutchings
The "buffer stuff" is exactly where the confusion for non-"proc'"-ies 
happens.  I had to figure out that a proc was counting down the number of 
times it was executing a section of commands to perform copies of reports.

Well, anything you can do in Uniquery can be used in a proc, and they do
have the online Uniquery documentation.  I have not really seen any 'proc'
language per se as there really isn't one.  i.e., there are no commands that
only work in a proc *that I'm aware of*.

None of that buffer stuff, etc.  Just do the things in the exact same order
that you would do it at Uniquery and it just works like magic.  I was
actually quite happy when M2K went from Microdata to Unidata, as I got to
'forget' all the proc commands as they were no longer necessary.

However, I've dealt almost exclusively with Manage-2000 so there could be
other stuff that others are using that I'm unaware of.

hth!

I've never seen one.  I came from a Prime environment to UniData and, of
course, didn't have a clue how to interpret all the procs.  I finally
found the MicroData manuals from before the company's conversion to
UniData and used those.  Based on my experience, I'd guess that proc
manuals for other environments would generally work.  The trick, of
course, is knowing when a command or syntax is different or has
different results between UniData and the manual you have at hand.

I worked on building mechanisms that allowed me to use paragraphs and
other documented procedures in a proc environment.  Seemed to work.

Always thought that as procs are a (semi)supported environment that
UniData could have a manual that would allow a person to understand
procs.

Re: [U2] Installing UniObjects on Linux

2006-08-09 Thread Jeff Powell
Adrian,

It may have something to do with my applet security posts. I was advised
to use a jar rather than zip in my applet and it helped. I also know
that you can't gcj compile the zip.

Does that help?

FYI I ditched the applet due to finding a better method of validating
using java scripts and servlets. I did work but it was not user friendly
in IE.

Re: [U2] Files reporting as "changing" during backup...

2006-08-09 Thread Adrian Merrall

1. SUSPEND.FILES ON



a. a SAN "snap" while suspended


Ours takes < 2 seconds start to finish (pause to resume).


c. tar backup to a disk file [ fastest  online method ]


Faster still, run an rsync to disk before pausing the database, then
again while paused.  This way only the changes between the two rsyncs
are copied.  The downside of this of course if the time between pause
and resume is unpredictable whereas snapping or mirror splits is
predictable.

Also as Jay Jay says, while this will ensure file integrity, it will
not ensure referential integrity.

RE: [U2] Files reporting as "changing" during backup...

2006-08-09 Thread John Jenkins
SUSPEND.FILES ON - this is a minimum. What you are seeing is fairly
predictable if the database is not quiescent.

Best Bets:

1. SUSPEND.FILES ON

Then one of:

a. a SAN "snap" while suspended

b. split a mirror while suspended - backup the mirror offline - and re-sync

c. tar backup to a disk file [ fastest  online method ]

Then SUSPEND.FILES OFF

Optionally you could "uvbackup" to a disk file and then tar backup the
uvbackup separately (possibly after a "compress"). However while this will
give you file integrity it will also take longer to run (it respects locks)
and will not maintain referential integrity if the database is still being
updated.

If the database is not quiescent the database you will lose referential
integrity at best - at worst some files may be corrupted when you restore
them. Always remember the reason you take a backup is to secure and protect
the business interest in the data. The possibility of a "bad" backup only
serves to give a false sense of security. Even if you can recover the
damaged files it is not guaranteed and it is still down time and affects the
business.

Remember to test the recovery procedures full-bore from time to time - if
you haven't tested recovery from your backup strategy [without notice !!]
you will never know if it works.  You will know it works after the
system has been reasonably exercised and applications have successfully used
and reconciled recently updated files and data after recovery - not just
after the data has been restored.

(Oh the stories)

A blast from the past:



1. When taking a full backup each weekend and an incremental backup every
night please change the tape - yes - I mean at all - not just every now and
then.

2. If you get a catastrophic disk failure keep your backup tape (Note: the
only one - see "changing tapes" above) until the disk is replaced, formatted
and restored. You know - the one that (once) had all (or at least some) of
the data on it. The one you still overwrite in the daily tape cycle every
night. The daily tape cycle that (now) has no data on it.

3. Please feel free to ask your application software supplier for your own
system's root password because no one left in the Company (mass cull) knows
it. 

4. You might feel a little embarrassed if you have to also ask not only
which room the computer is in but which office and which site.. (Answer:
the empty one in another city with no people in it and a drift of mail
behind the door - see "mass cull" above).

5. Don't get cross at your software supplier if they don't know your
system's root passwords (see 3 above).

6. Feel free to be relieved at finding the root password written on the wall
next to the light switch (no brownie points though for this faux pas
though).

7. Oh yes - embarrassment is no longer sufficient and we have to resort to
outright chagrin if you had also not renewed the hardware maintenance when
notified (see both "drift of mail" and "mass cull" above) and you have to
wait months for new disk drives (no support contract / waiting list / etc).

8. Please do not feel offended if your application supplier cannot install
the application software on your (only file system remaining) root file
system as it does not have enough space - a quart into a shot glass does not
fit.


So the system is down.

You have no data backup at all.

(After many weeks delay) you have just received your new hard disks (paying
full market value) and cajoled the engineer into installing, making file
systems, formatting and mounting them (as no one knew how to do it (see
"mass cull" above).

You want your application supplier to get your application back (easy -
clean install. You can luckily tick the box on this one as you are still
(just) inside their annual software maintenance period. :-)

Please do not take it personally when you ask your application provider to
reload your many wealth of gathered data (personnel records / sales history
/ stock .) and they ask you for good backup tapes they can use first.
(See 1 [changing tapes] and 2 [stopping backups after a catastrophic
failure] above).
 
Oh yes - you are now inside the notice period for your application
maintenance and have to pay another year for support on the application
which is now back up but which has no data.

RE: [U2] telent services on UniVers takes a dive and no one can log in.

2006-08-09 Thread George Gallen
Not sure, but you can always check...

Try disabling the power management in the BIOS. It's possible the system may be
going into a power save mode, and cutting power to the network card.

I know we had issues with that here but the other end, the clients kept losing
their telnet connections after 10-15 min of inactivity. We thought it was the
autologout not working properly, but it turned out they were typing anything at
all, and power management kicked in and the network card dropped the connection.

Does anyone use the server directly (keyboard/mouse) ?  
or is it only used when a problem comes up?

After working with IBM on the issue we upgraded to SP4 and the latest

Might be worth a try.

I wrote a BP TCL wrapper years ago that changes the prompt to Account>.
AFAIK, that's the only way to do it.  It enables all the "dot" commands

We've had our UV server colo'd at one of SBC's (now AT&T) data centers
for about 5 years, and have been happy with their service.  They provide
what you'd expect from a hardened data center:  

Multiple layers of physical security - you pass through 2 man traps and
a biometric palm scan to get on the data center floor.
Connections to multiple power grids and redundant diesel generators.
24x7 access.
24x7 staffed NOC if you need something power-cycled (i.e. a hung Windows
server).
Data center floor elevated above the flood plane.
Built to withstand a 7.4 earthquake.
A fire suppression system that won't damage electronics.
Redundant internet connections to your cabinet.

As Symeon noted, the software you're running is irrelevant to your colo
provider since you manage the servers yourself.  AFAIK, SBC only had 2
data centers prior to the merger with AT&T (southern California and west
Texas), but I think AT&T had a few more.  They also offer some degree of
managed hosting, but I've never checked into the details.

I have my unidata CoLo'd - If your hosting centre allows CoLo then they dont
really care what DB you run so there are no issues on that front. As for
hosting, you will probably need a hosting provider that is able to support
unidata, of which there are some, but i can not remember who they are. My
unidata is on RH Linux, to access it i tunnel over ssh, i can then telnet
and uniobject via ssh tunnels This means they only open up ssh on the
firewall, i.e. good security. If  however you have a dedicated firewall you
could set up a vpn.

David, I recommend Easy Computing for this: http://mirroredsolutions.com/
You can get your own dedicated server starting at $125/month, or you can
get a root-access virtual server with pre-allocated RAM and other
resources, starting at $15/month.  Base firewall configurations come
standard with a new install.  Services for managing security are available,
but otherwise you (the end-user) are completely responsible for maintenance
of the entire software environment and applications, including the DBMS
products, licenses, etc..  All you're paying for is the environment, not
the software you put on it.  Additional resources are available - exceeding
resources like bandwidth costs extra.  You can take your choice of east or
west coast server location, and for added coverage you can also add on
mirrored hosting in the same location or remotely.  Many other ala carte
services are available.

You can contact me for more info (some website info is old or has typos),
or contact EasyCo directly - but tell um Tony sent ya.  :)

RE: [U2] Hosted UniData

2006-08-09 Thread Robert DunnMiller
I have been working with a customer that has CoLo/managed services for their
UniData environment. The provider of the service is InfoCrossing. For
managed services, they are providing primary support for *NIX, including
backups, SAN and networking. The System Administrator for the company works
with their SA group, and the relationship is complimentary.

Some of the questions that need to be considered (IMHO):
1. To what degree are you looking for "managed services"? Is it your
expectation that they have suitable knowledge for administration of the
UniData environment? Is it your expectation that they will provide primary
*NIX / Windows support?
2. How much of the admin/maintenance do you want to control in house? How
much are you willing to "let go" and hand control over to someone else?
3. Does your CoLo plan included (or anticipate) any DRP?
4. What are the business continuity issues that you have that can be
accommodated by the CoLo provider? For example, do they provide redundant
network connectivity solutions?

I am in the process of performing an assessment of various CoLo/Managed
Services providers. Please contact me off-list if you would like more
information.

[U2] Files reporting as "changing" during backup...

2006-08-09 Thread George Gallen
We use tar for our backups...

In one Account, every time the backup runs, and anytime we use tar to copy the
data anywhere,
   there are about 5 files that also report 'File changed as we read it'.

It only occurs in the one account (directory), and even when no ones on the
system, it still reports.

Is there any reason this could occur? There are phantoms running 24/7

If a phantom has these files open, or is doing a Select (not a write) could
that cause this?

I know the database should be shutdown before a backup, but... that's not
possible, as this would
  screw up the phantoms...

Re: [U2] UniData proc manual

2006-08-09 Thread Mark Johnson
Being a Jurrasic Pick PROCtologist, I'm observing this thread and looked at
my set of UD manuals. I didn't see anything for Proc.

Perhaps as a job control language, its functions were replaced with the
advent of the EXECUTE/PERFORM commands or paragraphs.

I lived through the introduction of true PQN proc in the late 1970's from
Microdata and their tangent was to further enhance proc with better buffer
management etc. The other implementations developed EXECUTE and their
flavors of MV.

As I support both now, ie Microdata, U2, D3, native and others, I can
appreciate the wrong turn Microdata did by enhancing PROC instead of BASIC.

Perhaps the absense of the proc manuals for UD is the grandfather effect.
They will support it but not endorse it. Granted, now-a-days, everyone can
manage their apps through Basic and I can't recall either a command that
works only in PROC and not Basic. Sure, there were some tricky user-exits in
Proc but they existed as a work-around given the need to have all
criteria-specific Select statements outside of Basic.

I'm glad that I'm well versed in both PQ and PQN styles of Proc as I'm not
in a position to re-write my clients' apps just because they're old-school.
Until the compiler (processer) ceases to process Proc, I'll keep those balls
rolling.

My 2 cents
Mark  Johnson

P.S. I'm glad that UD supports PQN procs. I've seen conversions to Microdata
to D3 and they're a bit messy.

RE: [U2] Unidata proc manual

2006-08-09 Thread Metherall, Arthur
We're running VERCOM's PRIMAC and everything is PROC based.

I, also, have an old photocopied Microdata PROC Programming Manual [#82-1074] 
(with page 120 missing).

Prior to finding this manual I used the following websites, in an effort to 
understand what an existing proc is/was doing:

 - Raining Data - Online Technical Manual 
 http://www.rainingdata.com/support/techpubs2/apprm013.html

 - Microdata REALITY (3.0 Series) Proc & Batch Programming Manual 
 http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/microdata/771044_realityProcBatch_77.pdf
 *** Did some poking but I couldn't find the PROC Programming Manual (which 
is much better)

 - Malcolm Bull - PROC Online Technical Manual 
 http://members.aol.com/mbtpublish/mmp214.html
 *** This one doesn't seem to work anymore (was the best)
 *** Does someone know where it went??

 - Also, PROC Guidelines might help with the format and structure
 http://www.mindspring.com/~tpackert/pguide.htm


I hope these help.  PROC seems to be a blackhole within UniData, it still 
exists but there is NO supported documentation.

RE: [U2] RE: [UD] Program Cache Expiration - RESTATED

2006-08-09 Thread John Jenkins
As long as a catalogued program handle is cached by any program then that
program will use it - e.g.:

...
CALL MYSUB1
...
(recatalogued)
...
CALL MYSUB1
...

This will call the same subroutine every time as the first CALL resolved the
address of the subroutine and this will be reused until the (internal)
variable created by the "CALL MYSUB1" declaration is trashed by dropping to
ECL or (if this is in a subroutine itself) the subroutine exits and local
variables are trashed.

Similarly, placing a resolved subroutine address in a variable will use the
same subroutine for the life of the variable, whether LOCAL, COMMON or NAMED
COMMON (which persists for the whole session) - e.g.:

COMMON /SUBS/ MYSUB1, MYSUB2, etc
MYSUB1="ACCOUNT_LEDGER_1"
CALL @MYSUB1 <- replaces the text with the address

And yes - there are differences depending upon how the program is catalogued
- in particular on UniVerse if you pre-load using SHM.TO.LOAD where programs
are loaded when UniVerse starts and persist as long as UniVerse is still
running.

I remember (some years ago) spending a lot of time trying to work out why
new programs were not running, and the old ones were. I had written a
virtual protocol stack and all subroutines were in named common for
efficiency due to the heavily re-entrant code and runtime dependent
subroutine names - e.g.:

VBP.SUFFIX.x where x was a number 1 -> 7 of last memory I think.

It took me a while to work out what was going on

For those of us who got involved with VM assembly code (or C) and the system
internals, the internal data descriptor tables used different data types to
determine the content: String, FP, Address etc. When you assigned a name to
a variable it became a string - either in the descriptor itself if very
short, or in a buffer referenced by the address in the descriptor if longer.


When you assigned a variable to a string (which happens to be a subroutine
name) it is just a string - but when you CALL @variable the data type
changes to the resolved address. If you want try a CRT on the variable used
in the CALL after the CALL .. you will see the difference.

Hope this helps

To put it another way, the File object (whose Read method you invoked) is a 
dependent object upon the Session object.  The only independently-creatable 
objects are Session and DynamicArray.  You could move the contents of your Read
