Re: [U2] Time Travel

2007-11-26 Thread Clifton Oliver
For the group's edification, at sending out 60,000+ e-mails on some  
days (more than that when people had nothing better to do at work  
than flame each other about coding styles), this was one of the  
problems I had when I hosted the lists.


Larry is also being polite and not mentioning that he is footing the  
bill for this service and bandwidth. So when some people start in on  
"this needs to be corrected," "the list has to be faster," and so  
forth, I would suggest you "show him the money."


Not meaning to put words in your mouth, Larry. Most of us really  
(really, really!) appreciate your donation of time and money in  
support of these lists.

Be sure to make that one parameter "*some.subroutine". The subroutine  
needs to be UV globally cataloged, even if you are running in a Pick  
flavor account.

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can give me some help on triggers.  I want to put a
trigger on a file to datestamp address changes.

The system manual (25119270.pdf) says that triggers aer set up by the
command

CREATE TRIGGER trigger.name [BEFORE|AFTER|UPDATE]


But when I try that I get an SQL prompt.  We don't use SQL at all - is
there some way of setting up triggers without it?  Is there another
manual I should look at?

RE: [U2] [UV] Can I get some advice on triggers?

Keith

SQL requires a ";" (semi-colon) character along with a 'carriage return'
character to signify the end of the command input.

There is no other way of creating or managing SQL triggers. Triggers
require care in their design, so as not to impair your system
performance. Forgetting to setting and release locks is a big no-no and
isn't tolerated by a trigger.

UV comes with a lot of UV/SQL documents: you need to read/study them a
bit beforehand (or simply ask questions on this forum), at least review
the "SQL User Guide" familarise yourself with the basics. "SQL Reference
Guide" as all the info on trigger setup.

David

Yes. See Chapter 5 of the UV 10.2 SQL Reference. That's the  
documentation that works. Unfortunately, the triggers documentation  
in the non-SQL portions of the manuals is incorrect, and had been for  
some time.


[AD] Watch for the next issue of International Spectrum magazine.  
Brian Leach has a good article on UniVerse file triggers in it. Also,  
International Spectrum is putting together a webinar on this topic.  
I'll announce it on this list when we have a schedule set. [/AD]

RE: [U2] Time Travel

2007-11-26 Thread Larry Hiscock
No config changes necessary.  Here's the skinny:

The list is hosted on a shared server with other client websites.  In order
to ensure that everyone gets fair access to the SMTP server (and our
clients' email delivery doesn't suffer), majordomo is throttled back to only
allow a certain number of child processes to execute simultaneously.  I
don't WANT thousands of emails per minute going out because a) it's an
unnecessary burden on the server; and b) I don't want to be blacklisted as a
spammer.

Add to this the fact that EVERY incoming and outgoing email on the server is
scanned for virii, spam and other malware, and every incoming email to the
lists are "demimed" and the delays are easily accounted for.  

Outgoing majordomo mail is sent with "list" priority (as opposed to bulk or
first class), so busy mail servers may further delay processing of email
from the lists.

Majordomo's lists are also kept in alphabetical order, so if your email
address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], you can expect to receive your emails sooner
than [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hope this helps.

Subject: [U2] URGENT: BCI driver configuration / column binding issues

We are upgrading from an HP-UX 64 bit PA-RISC server running UD 7.1 to
an HP-UX 64-bit Itanium server, and are having serious issues with BCI. 

We use Easysoft ODBC-ODBC bridge, however we can connect properly and do
not believe that is the problem.

Specifically, I can CONNECT successfully, however when I type "exec
sp_databases ;" (or anything else that returns data) and press enter, I
get into trouble.

Originally, we were getting SqlBindCol messages in place of  data; I
believe someone re-linked the libraries and restarted UD, and now we get
column headers for DATABASE_NAME, DATABASE_SIZE, and REMARKS, followed
by 21 blank rows, followed by "21 rows selected".

Please let me know how we can troubleshoot this issue.  It appears to be
that the SQL Server drivers are not working correctly, but I did not set
them up on the old server, and do not know what to do on the new one.

RE: [U2] Good Practice?

2007-11-26 Thread Keith Johnson (DSLWN)
Craig Bennett pointerd out that
   TEST = '\AF1\CK1\CK2\H\LHC\MP\NU1\NU2\TK1\TK2\'
   IF INDEX(TEST,'\':F200.SCHEME.CODE:'\',1) THEN THAT = @FALSE
*can* generate a false positive if F200.SCHEME.CODE contains an embedded
slash.  In this case it can't, because the F200.SCHEME.CODE is validated
on entry against a list of codes (whew!)  The super long string I
started with is from a program to decide whether or not to show
something on a printout.
I suppose I could quibble and say it is actually a true positive...  but
no, Craig got me proper.  My bad.

However, this brings up a good practice thing to note.  The seperator
must not be 'enterable'.  So that makes INPUT a bad idea.  If you want
to try out an alternative, I just put
http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?action=edit&id=GetKey up on the
wiki.  My problem was that the Asus eeePC does not seem to be a proper
xterm, so I reproduced most of the functionality of QM's keycode()
input.

===
Looking back, I feel I may have defended the INDEX function more than I
wanted.  My own code generally looks like this

ENDWORDS = 'IF\OPEN\OPENSEQ\READNEXT\READ\READU\READV\READVU\'
ENDWORDS = ENDWORDS:'MATREAD\MATREADU\LOCATE'
CONVERT '\' TO AM IN ENDWORDS

and I use the classic form

 LOCATE(WORD,ENDWORDS;POSN) THEN

PS: The extra line is solely to prevent wrapping on an eighty-column
terminal.  I value my concept of readability above efficiency.

Hi Mark,

Just a couple of points.

First, the value of F200.SCHEME.CODE of CK *cannot* trigger a false
positive.

  TEST = '\AF1\CK1\CK2\H\LHC\MP\NU1\NU2\TK1\TK2\'
  IF INDEX(TEST,'\':F200.SCHEME.CODE:'\',1) THEN THAT = @FALSE

is fairly bulletproof because of the backslashes around both the string
and the substring.

Second, I wasn't concerned about LOCATE adding a cycle or two.  It's
just that one has to provide the SETTING variable which is then ignored.
INDEX involves a string, a substring, and a start count - there's
virtually nothing redundant.  Using LOCATE involves a string, a
substring, the position found as well as (possibly) a start position and
a search sequence; so it can be regarded as a more complex function.
Also, one can choose from three forms of LOCATE - Pick, Ideal/Reality,
or Information.  Then, to avoid the long setup string, one has to use
CONVERT (or SWAP or CHANGE).

RE: [U2] Wintegrate scripts

There is at least one (rather large) wIntegrate tech manual at the IBM U2
Family website.

Consider printing the manual.

Subject: [U2] Wintegrate scripts


Hello!



I am trying to find out if something is possible, and if it is, how to
write the script.



I want to have an end user press a function key and have that function
key run a Wintegrate script that prompts the user for 3 different
options.

I think this needs to be done using a dialogue box, but I'm not sure.



I have never created a dialogue box.



I know how to attach a script to a function key.



Once the user responds to the 3 different options, I either need to
launch Notepad, or an application screen. I also need to capture
@LOGNAME from the Wintegrate session.



I know I can save and then restore the end user's original Wintegrate
session.



Any direction that anyone can give me would be MUCH appreciated!

What's also interesting in the headers is it seems the list host
server time is off.

your outbound server accepts your message to send: Mon, 26 Nov 2007
17:29:32 -0600
list server picks it up from your server: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 14:49:42 -0800

So, in fact, there is time travel involved!

(And, yes, I see the time zone difference.)

my mailserver at 17:03:25 Central Standard Time (usa).  So subtract 2

I have to add my two bits. Okay, I don't 'have' to...

I use the exact same email group software (majordomo 1.94.5) on my
  

'home'


system with over 7000 subscribers to over 180 different email groups.
  

Our


groups never see the delays the members of this group see, so with
  

all
  

due


respect, there's something different happening that's causing the
  

lags. We


often see as many as 200 emails a second going out of our server,
  

which is


an 800mghz PIII with 120GB disk, no mirroring (I know, bad idea) and
running fedora core 4 (old...). Our group members get their emails
  

back


within seconds, literally. I send an email to this group, and it
  

sometimes


takes an hour or so before I see it come back to me. I send an email
  

to


one of my groups at home, and I get it back within seconds.

Now then, with that said, I've also added bulk_mailer to my email
  

group


server so maybe that speeds things up a great deal. I don't know. I
  

did it


so I would quit getting the annoying 'too many email connections from
  

your


server' errors I see from aol, hotmail, msn, yahoo, netscape,
  

netzero,
  

juno, gmail, . . . ad infinitum of the 'big' email hosts.

My point? none really, other than to show that Charles' nice

majordomo server...

I don't know why, they just aren't the same.

Re: [U2] Time Travel

2007-11-26 Thread Thomas Derwin
I thought it depended on whether you were near the beginning or the end
of the recipient list.

Under my former e-mail address (imported from Clif's server), the
turnaround was about 30 minutes.

When the company changed our addresses, turnaround became an hour or so,
which I presumed was because the new address was appended to the end of
the recipient list.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/26/07 4:23 PM >>>

I use the exact same email group software (majordomo 1.94.5) on my

Our

takes an hour or so before I see it come back to me. I send an email to

  This is normally handled by way of a transport mechanism. LMTP is an
example protocol, but SMTP can also be used to "relay" mail from one MTA to
another within the same domain for external delivery. This is very easy to
configure with the Postfix MTA. If you can provide the O/S and mail server
software that you are using, then it might be possible to come up with a
solution.

correct. If you don't have Recoverable File System (RFS) enabled, there are
no archive/undo/redo logs for UniData.
Of course - virtually all UniData data file i/o is essentially random i/o.
You should tune your disk subsystem to accomodate this.

We've been having performance problems as of late which have been tracked
down
to disk IO.  When I was talking with our hardware vendor, he had one of his

Sun techs with him where we had the following exchange:

Sun tech: Because of the inherent difference of random and sequential you
want
to ensure your archive/redo logs are on a different mount then your
database
files.

Me: Oh - we're not on Oracle.

Sun tech: Whatever the database, you've got archive/redo logs.

If we're not using RFS, can someone confirm that Unidata really doesn't
have
archive/redo logs - or am I just clueless.  I've been wrong before...

We have a similar scenario on UV/AIX.  Our unix tech was actually a bit more
detailed.  They're talking about the unix filesystem logs - in our case,
JFS/JFS2 logs.  If they're isolated to a different logical partition, the
system is a little more efficient.

I'm not sure if that applies to your system or not, but it sounds like the
same 'tech suggestion'.

Hope this helps!

Unless you are running RFS, no, there are not any. However if you are
they should be on a separate mount. Some may think you need them but
from my experience the database is so robust it has never been
necessary. Of course I've never run the database on MS.

RE: [U2] Cool stuff for a Friday [not-secure]

2007-11-26 Thread Hennessey, Mark F.


Being a Unix dude, I open a local terminal and use command line at
times--not that I have to. I just prefer a Road Less Pixeled for some
things.

All in all, I'm a fan. I'd be hard-pressed to switch back to Windows as
a full-time system.



Cliff - I'm willing to bet you do it because you CAN.

RE: RE: [U2] OCONV Extraction Question - Good Practice

2007-11-26 Thread Symeon Breen
Surely getting the manual out to look up an obscure oconv is reasonable, and 
putting it in their not bad coding, it takes 20 seconds to look it up !! - I 
presume you guys donbt program in .net or java etc where looking up the help 
of some object you have never used before happens quite a lot - well there are 
thousands of them

Exactly the point I was making - if something you've written requires the 
next person to get the manual out to understand it then it's not good code, 
regardless of whether it's more efficient or not.  Just because you *can* do 
it doesn't mean you *should* do it!

In the case he used it will not show a false positive because he
enclosed the F200.SCHEME.CODE in "\".

Yeah - I remember thinking on some of those conversion questions that I 
did not really know what they did - when it comes to strange or complex 
conversions like that I just get the manual out. It is certainly not 
something one does every day.

I felt the same way with that part of the test. I have never seen a need
for some of the conversion codes described because there is usually
something less obscure and more descriptive (English like) that can be
used. Now for some programmers the formats and conversions in the test
may be used but I have worked for companies in manufacturing, education,
banking, and accounting and some of the conversions in the test I would
never and have never used.

To fix this problem, you'd have to 
redesign the methods under which the internet manages and routes mail.
