RE: [U2] UV: LOOP;EXECUTE cmd CAPTURING X; REPEAT fatal memory fault.

[Tony G]

I'll take a wild guess. Maybe IBM can confirm this.

When you run a BASIC program the runtime allocates memory space
for BASIC variables.  When you use these variables for strings,
integers, or dynamic arrays the BASIC runtime manages that space.

When you EXECUTE, another process is temporarily created.  When
you CAPTURE, the StdOut from that process needs to go
"somewhere".  They can't push it back directly into BASIC space
of the parent process so they allocate new memory space (on the
"heap") and load the data.  When they return control back to your
current process they either return a pointer back to BASIC that
indicates where the new memory space is, or they will pass back a
string which BASIC then stores in the Capturing var.

Now, it seems to me that "someone" isn't letting go of the memory
that was created in the secondary process.
- If a 'ps' shows new processes are still there after Execute,
then it's obvious that because the processes aren't gone they
haven't released their resources.
- If the processes are gone then it's possible that a handle to
the new memory space was passed back to BASIC, but BASIC didn't
release the resource after it was used to populate your Capturing
variable.
- It could also be possible that it's the responsibility of the
secondary process to release its own resources, but due to some
release-specific bug in your HPUX11.23/UV10.2.6 that isn't
happening.

I would ask IBM to find out which process is supposed to be
releasing memory.  Specifically, someone does a malloc() and
someone is supposed to be doing a free().  It's pretty easy to
miss one free() instruction, and that's what causes memory leaks
like what you're seeing.

Good question, but no.  Plenty of room in uvtemp.  Plenty of inodes.
It does leave an 0-byte capturenaa file in uvtemp.
0-byte, because I am really doing nothing (execute a comment).
If I do something real, the capture file does contain the appropriate
thing, but it does not correspond to the runaway memory usage.

It also leaves an aceb printer memory segment that needs cleaning up
too.

RE: [U2] Windows 2003 server security on new users {unclassified}

[ATLAS SA]

Hi Laure

We run UV 10.1.18 on Win 2003 SP2 and have no problems pointing all our
users to one account. We also prevent them from going to TCL and have
them use a custom menu system. Overall, we have 180+ users logging in
daily from all over the world using our internal WAN and Citrix.

To manage security, I put users into logical windows groups and use NTFS
permissions on the various UV file folders to give or deny access to
data as applicable. To get the users to login to the correct account I
do not, however, use their windows Profile (AD or otherwise). Instead I
setup a UV.LOGINS record for each user. This is accessible through
UniAdmin under the Network Services/Telnet menu. Click the Users tab and
then the Add User button. Use their Windows login ID, in uppercase, as
the user name. 

If it is a domain login, put the domain name and the path to the account
that you want them to use in the Domains area. If it is a local login id
(created on the server which hosts UV), then use the Local Machines
area. Either way, it is important that it is all in upper case and the
account path is used, not the account name. Then under the parameters
tab, click the UV Account radio button so UV will use the local info and
not the home path. 

Using this method does not change permissions on the account when a user
is setup and does not make the system any less secure. It also gives you
more control over who has access to your DB if you do not have direct
access to the Windows profiles.

I hope this helps,

Hi Bill,

I'm not a server/network person so please bear with me. 

We don't want our users to ever go to TCL. There is custom coding in the
login paragraph to prevent this. Users get into a customized menu
system.

We also don't want the users to pick and choose the accounts they
access; so, we have been setting them up with the account path in the
profile tab, under the home folder, local path. This worked like a charm
on Win2000, but ever since we upgraded to Win2003, creating new users
resets the permissions to the selected account path as soon as we save
the new user with that path as their local path. 

So the path is not truly to a user profile, but to their "home
directory". Since they share directories (we only have so many Universe
accounts), we don't want the permissions to be reset. 

I hope this makes more sense. If there is a better way to do this,
please let me know: we've been doing this by rote and are obviously
missing a piece of the equation.

Thanks!

Laure:

Are you saying you set permissions to a UV account (e.g.
E:\OurUV\Production).  Then, when you create a new user and place this
directory in their "profile" tab the permissions change?  Why are the
roaming user profiles maintained in a UV dbms directory?

Doesn't it seem reasonable that the "profile" directory is altered as
you describe?
I'm wondering if these profiles shouldn't be maintained in another
directory like "E:\UVProfiles\%username%".

RE: RE: [U2] Windows 2003 server security on new users {unclassified}

I think it has more to do with Windows believing that if this folder is
to be your Home folder, then only you should have access to it, and
changing the permissions accordingly. A case of MS knows best ;-)

It is better, IMHO, to setup the UV.LOGINS record for your users than
use the windows profile to manage this. More control and less grief.

The problem you are experimenting has to do with either Windows

not finding where to go in the UVlogins file.

A few minutes for me, for that simple test.
The question is what's memory doing?
Try looking at the process with -l option of the unix ps command.

But look at this where I execute an "SH" command:
  EXECUTE "SH -c'# comment'" CAPTURING X
& then printed a report line every 100,000 iterations.
It still failed after 990,230 iterations,  but ran slower & slower &
slower.
It took 28 hours to get to that point, whereas my old much slower
PA/risc got to that number in ~5 hrs.
Look at Mem SZ: constant 942, vs growing to 230145.

RE: [U2] Windows 2003 server security on new users

[IT-Laure Hansen]

Hi Bill,

I'm not a server/network person so please bear with me. 

We don't want our users to ever go to TCL. There is custom coding in the
login paragraph to prevent this. Users get into a customized menu
system.

We also don't want the users to pick and choose the accounts they
access; so, we have been setting them up with the account path in the
profile tab, under the home folder, local path. This worked like a charm
on Win2000, but ever since we upgraded to Win2003, creating new users
resets the permissions to the selected account path as soon as we save
the new user with that path as their local path. 

So the path is not truly to a user profile, but to their "home
directory". Since they share directories (we only have so many Universe
accounts), we don't want the permissions to be reset. 

I hope this makes more sense. If there is a better way to do this,
please let me know: we've been doing this by rote and are obviously
missing a piece of the equation.

Thanks!

Are you saying you set permissions to a UV account (e.g.
E:\OurUV\Production).  Then, when you create a new user and place this
directory in their "profile" tab the permissions change?  Why are the
roaming user profiles maintained in a UV dbms directory?

Doesn't it seem reasonable that the "profile" directory is altered as
you describe?
I'm wondering if these profiles shouldn't be maintained in another
directory like "E:\UVProfiles\%username%".

Maybe, just maybe, the loop is executing too fast on the Itanium

* My simple case fails at about

[Stevenson, Charles]

I said  $$PID.   2 dollars, 1 pee.
I meant $PPID.   1 dollar, 2 pees. (Still pricey for a public biffy.)

$PPID is the variable containing the Parent Process's process ID.
So  SH -c 'ps -lp $PPID'
gives ps info on the UV parent process issuing the command.

Sorry about that.

Anybody know if this is available for download? We never received the

Re: [U2] Universe/SB+ printing including images

[Kevin King]

I would highly discourage the use of Optio.  While it is a defacto standard
with some vendors, it's expensive, it provides little to no debugging to
help diagnose problems when it crashes a print queue - and yes, it does
crash print queues if anything unexpected happens in the print job - and the
Optio company refuses to allow third party vendors (such as yours truly) to
license, get trained, or otherwise use their products, forcing you to rely
on the mercy of your vendor.

Does that sound bitter? :-)

Given the oft-noted behaviors of web browsers when printing, how do you 
deal with the following problems?:

1) If the report is in a wide format, such as classic 132-column reports, 
the browser will simply drop the right side (although IE7 did add some 
shrink-to-fit logic).

2) You have no control over pagination, meaning you can not put column 
headers at the top of page 2, for instance, because you don't know where 
the top of page 2 is.

3) You have not explicit control over font size. Do you use CSS for this?

In general, my perception is that HTML is not a satisfactory way to 
deliver reports.

[U2] UV spooler daemon not responding.

[Jerry Banker]

UV 10.2.4 Linux AS release 3 Kernel 2.4.21-15.EL x86_64



For some unknown reason when trying to mount a form on a printer my
system will hang. The only way to get it un-hung is to stop the spooler
and restart it. Sometimes the form requested shows that it has been
mounted sometimes and at other times it has not. Sometimes the printer
has been deactivated and the only way to reactivate it is to stop and
restart the spooler again because the option for activating an
individual printer also hangs. I get the following message in the
err.log file.



usa: no response from daemon Date:  03/17/2008 11:03:33



I have another system that is set up almost identical, except it has UV
10.1.12, and it works fine.



Any ideas?

[U2] Windows 2003 server security on new users

[IT-Laure Hansen]

Universe 10.2 on Win2003 server SP2 (but was happening before SP2 as
well): our set-up requires that users get created with the path to a
valid Universe account in the user's profile tab. As soon as I do this,
using the admin login on the server, the original permissions on the
account are removed and all that remains are administrator and the new
user. This is not acceptable, as Universe requires wide-open security
(the effect of this is that other users can no longer even log to the
account).

I've been creating new users after hours because of this, and it's
starting to drive me nuts!

Does anyone know of a fix, either via change to Windows security
policies, hotfixes etc?

Thanks,

Laure Hansen,

Here are some other questions you might want to ask:

1) Will you want only one image per page (such as a company logo), or 
multiple (a signature, pictures of products, etc.)?

2) What file formats (JPG, PNG, BMP) do you want to support?

3) How device-independent do you want this to be? That is, how many 
different types of laser printer do you want to support now and in the 
future?

4) Is it an option to modify the report output to specify the graphic(s), 
or does this need to be done post-generation?

5) Is it an option to bring a Windows machine into the printing pipeline, 
even if your U2 runs on Unix?

[Ad] We offer a printing tool called Print Wizard. While it is not U2 
specific, or even MV specific, it is very powerful. It runs on a Windows 
machine, but can accept data from a Unix machine. Running on Windows, it 
has the advantage of being able to use the Windows printer driver, which 
means it can output to virtually any printer, including Windows-only 
printers. Its output is controlled by an HTML-like markup language, butit 
also has some post-generation capabilities. 

More data is ont he website below. Or catch my presentation at Spectrum 
upcoming.

Hi Cisar

Yes it is. Just remember that XP is a workstation O/S so it only allows a

RE: [U2] Universe/SB+ printing including images

[Brian Leach]

Hi Robin

[AD]
You might want to take a look at mvPDF. Despite the name, it can render 
directly to printers as well as producing PDF documents. It's very flexible 
with a BASIC API underlying it so it can be tailored to most solutions, and I 
have a white paper on using it to capture SB+ reports.
[/AD]

Contact me off-list if interested.

Brian


We use Universe with SB+ on both Windows and Unix.

We have a customer who is looking to print documents to a colour laser
printer that not only include normal textual output but also incorporate
a grahical image embedded within the document.  The graphical image is
variable per document and will be specified at run time and picked up
from a link to an image file e.g. C:\images\picturexx.jpg.

Has anyone any experience of doing this and is there any U2 specific
software to facilitate the process?

  I build the document as HTML and send it to a person to review and

I would use the SAVING clause on a select of the repairs file to build a

not have a repairs record.

My dumb question for the day (just cant remember how to... and the manual's
example is too simplistic...)

How do I programmatically get an index value out, 
eg
I have a STOCK file, and a REPAIRS file. Whoever designed this needs their
head read, but the repairs file only has the stock code as a reference in
the record. I have indexed the repair file on stock code, and need to create
a report on the stock file of how many items are under repair.

1. UniverseBASIC code?

2. is this possible from an Itype?

Re: [U2] Universe/SB+ printing including images

[Scott Ballinger]

Hi Robin,

I use Onmerge (www.onmerge.com) to print embedded images from a Word
mail-merge document (the image filenames are one of the "merge" fields). I
costs $79US. The biggest drawback is that you are now relying on Word
mail-merge processing in an automated production environment, and there is
lots that can go wrong there with compatibility issues among different
Windows versions, Office/Word versions, and our friend windows update; but
all in all it works pretty well. (I use an Accuterm script to drive Word
from the [linux] host in both UV and D3 environments.)

Re: [U2] Tomcat is snailing

Write a quick JSP page that returns the amount of server memory available
and monitor this when the system starts to dog; sounds like maybe the Java
garbage collector might need to be run more frequently.

Re: [U2] Skype cannot connect

Tony,

I have turned off ASPM and it did not help
I have contacted network support people - I still didnt get it working.
I am going to Clean Registry - and a full reinstall

Thanks

I agree that a full reinstall isn't the right solution.

Helen, the ASUS Security Protect Management (ASPM) screams "port blocking"
to me.  The fact that your browsers stopped working after you installed
Universe suggests something locked up a lot of your network access, not
just Skype.  If you aren't using biometric/fingerprint authentication, 
turn

off ASPM and see if that helps.  If you have anyone providing network
support you might want to ask them to see if there is some service running
in the background that prevents programs from opening ports for inbound 
and

outbound communications.  I'm fairly certain turning off one key service
will fix the problem.

Good luck,

All,
   I've got an installation with php calling tomcat5 to serve JSP pages 
with UniVerse BASIC in the back. ::sigh:: Since I can't change any of 
that, I'm looking to get it running smoothly.


   Every time I restart Tomcat, the speed comes up to acceptable levels 
and stays there for as much as a few hours. Anything more than that and 
the process is either too slow for the browser timeout or it is actually 
hung. I don't see anything obvious in the tomcat logs and I can confirm 
that nothing is reaching UniVerse in timeframe when the problem occurs.

   Any thoughts on how to investigate this or solve it?
