RE: [U2] Size of key question

2007-10-18 Thread Ross Ferris
Has this file always had 2 parts? Just wondering as I saw that if the
other half of the file was around the same size, then the full file is
well under 1Gb  so, reducing the mod  bringing into 1 part would
eliminate overhead of distributing data into 2 files  call to your
routine on every read/write operation

Subject: File key question



Wow!



I got so many ideas from this group that I thought I would give some
more
Information.



This file is a distributed file in 2 parts The 3rd field (separated by
*)
determines which partfile with 1 going to the file I sent before and
the
rest going to this file



There are no triggers on the file.



The system was 'fast' until recently when tens of thousands of new
records
were added.  I agree the file is poorly sized, it was an attempt to
solve
one problem but created another.



The keys, I believe, are an issue



Here is a sample

RE: [U2] Indexing Optimization

2007-10-18 Thread Hona, David S
FYI...

This link has a nice summary of what the major RDBMS offer for the
EXPLAIN output:

http://www.aquafold.com/docs-ep-plan.html


It would be nice to have a version of Aquafold (or one of the many
similar multi-OS and multi-database 'aware' toolsets) available for
UniVerse too...ah, one day - perhaps! Although there is a Generic
ODBC/JDBC option (like similar tools).

Although, I wouldn't say they'd be a huge demand for this sort of tool
in the U2 environment.

RE: [U2] and PDF [not-secure]

2007-10-18 Thread Hennessey, Mark F.
For quite sometime I've gotten good results with letting the UV spooler
hand off to a unix script. I convert the text to postscript using
postprint, then use ps2pdf to distill the PDF. Total software cost =
$0...  Great for reports, etc. 

The real question is, do you want to take what you are producing NOW and
convert them to PDF format, or do you want to start producing nice,
glitzy things that become PDFs?

AD[U2] Timeout and the break key.

2007-10-18 Thread Randy Styka
We can disable the break key for the normal users
and log them out if the hit an error conditions, but we want something to
control the idle time associated with the developers as well.

AD
This may not be what you wanted to hear, but we wrote/sell a
product called LOGMON to handle your situation.  It runs at the
Unix level and monitors the CPU usage of all your users (and
their child processes).  Logmon can then log off idle users using
criteria that you control.  You can vary the inactivity time
by user, time of day, etc.  You can control how the user is
logged off.  And since it's at the Unix level, it can handle all
users, whether Universe or Unidata or ... an ancient COBOL
program ;-)

For details, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit
http://www.logmon.com 
Thanks!

Print Wizard (our product) can do that.

A key question for any of these products is this: how easy is it to 
specify what goes into the PDF? Print Wizard gives you these options:

1. Plain text (with CRs, LFs, maybe tabs, maybe even backspace-underlining 
and backspace-bolding) will be auto-fit to the page. Even print jobs 
without formfeeds will generally be paginated correctly.

2. PCL-5 files will be interpreted and rendered to PDF. This includes 
HP/GL, color, images, fonts, character sets, and emulation of cartridges 
with barcode and Chinese capabilities. If you have a PCL file that Print 
Wizard DOESN'T render correctly, please email it.

3. HTML. Print Wizard handles some, but not all, HTML files.

4. Print Wizard Markup Language (PWML). This is our version, based on 
HTML, plus control of many things HTML doesn't address, including 
orientation, paper size, barcodes, precise placement, rotated text, and 
more.

With all of these, it is also possible to add a form image (an overlay 
or background), in any of several file formats.

Note that Print Wizard runs on a Windows platform. However, we support 
several protocols for routing Unix/Linux jobs to the Windows PC where PW 
is running.

See website for more.

The perl module pdf::api2 is pretty easy to use once you get past the
lack of documentation.  You can do some pretty slick things with the
different boxes.  I feed data documents built by a BP program to a
perl script which formats a nifty PDF for invoices, order
confirmations and the like.
