Re: [U2] UniData - TANDEM verb

2009-12-08 Thread David Wolverton 
We got Tandem when they updated UniData  -- our issue was seeing 'what' what
hanging a SB+ GUI Session -- once it hangs, there is no good way to 'break
out' -- so we would have a user tandem from a PUTTY session and they are
able to issue a break and get a "?" which told me exactly the program, line
that was calling an SB.EVAL that is hanging... Now I just have to figure out
the 'why' part!!

Since your process is continuing (not core dumping, apparently), likely
a different permutation.
If the system call is blocking the signal we are using, we may not be

If you need to progress this issue, please provide your test case,
UniData version, platform, os version to your UniData support provider.

Thanks Wally!

According to our IT policy, we are not actually allowed to divulge any
details on what software versions, etc, we are using. That's why I
simply posted a message asking if anyone knew anything offhand.

Being relatively new to the U2 style of through ISV support, when issues
are detected with previous releases (then fixed), are they only
available through the readme's of later releases or are notifications
passed down through the food chain? Obviously having to wait for and
then scan the readme's of each new release is a slow of tedious method
of finding out about potential issues with your system.

I can see how our signalling issue would fit into this, but "was run at
the moment the target udt process was freeing shared memory" doesn't
make sense when the process is sitting waiting at a blocking call for
pipes? Is this a different issue or was this all fixed as part of that?

Dan

Assuming this is UniData, (though you don't specify db, version or os),
you may be encountering a signal issue that is fixed at 7.2.3. From the
readme:

Issue 11687 - Problem Description

UniData -- When using the PORT.STATUS command with the PID option
to review the CALL.STACK or another udt process, the target udt
process may have abnormally terminated and produced a core file.
This occurred if the PORT.STATUS command was run at the moment
the target udt process was freeing shared memory. This problem
has been fixed.

Subject: [U2] PORT.STATUS affecting program

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has encountered this before?

 

I was running some tests and discovered that doing a "PORT.STATUS PID
pid CALL.STACK" on a program that is waiting to open a named pipe with
OSOPEN caused it to bomb out.

 

I looked and it didn't have an ON ERROR statement, so I added it and
checked again. Every time I made the PORT.STATUS call, it caused it to
drop into the ON ERROR section.

 

My guess would be to perform the check on the program; it has to
interrupt it, hence causing it to bomb out of any blocking calls. Until
now, I had assumed the PORT.STATUS command would not affect a program,
but now it appears that it can, meaning it could potentially be
dangerous to use in a production environment.

 

Is this documented anywhere?

 

Regards,

Dan

Re: [U2] UniData - TANDEM verb

[ESC]+[M] Allows you to write on there screen, but not enter data that
is registered by anything other than the client.

If you are root, you can do [ESC]+[F] which also you to actually input
data.

This is true for both UniVerse and UniData.

Although, GoToMeeting, WebEx, RDP, etc, etc, are far better options than
TANDEM these days.

[U2] UniData - TANDEM verb

2009-12-08 Thread Bill Haskett 

Kevin:


D3 used to have a TANDEM verb for both Windows and Linux.  It worked 
perfectly for us for years and years.  U2 never had it but UD got it 
at least several years ago.  However, when one tandems to another port 
one cannot enter data on the other person's computer.  We can enter a 
[ctrl]+(?) to activate key input but I could never get it to work 
anywhere near what D3's did.


That said, today we use GoToMeeting and wouldn't think of using 
tandem; so the verb has much less value today than it used to.  There 
are a lot of other desktop sharing applications so these are 
worthwhile for workstations.  But with terminals, I guess TANDEM is 
better than nothing.  :-)

Take a look at the BCI reference manual


The UniVerse BASIC SQL Client Interface is an application programming
interface (API) that makes UniVerse a client in a client/server
environment. The server data source can be either:



A local or remote UniVerse database

A relational DBMS such as INFORMIX, SYBASE, or DB2



You use the SQL Client Interface to connect to one or more data sources.



ODBC Data Sources



To connect to an ODBC data source, an ODBC driver manager and suitable
ODBC drivers for the data sources you want to connect to must be
installed on the client system.



Once connected to any data source, the SQL Client Interface lets you
read data from and write data to the data source. Your application
program can access the capabilities of the server DBMS


Hope this helps

Re: [U2] PORT.STATUS affecting program

2009-12-08 Thread Charles Stevenson 
Dan,
I've seen something similar with very same port.status options where
PORT.STATUS seemed to cause other uv telnet sessions to drop..
Maybe UV10.0 or earlier.  I'm still not clear on whether you are ud or uv.

It was during my most intensive use of the command ever.  I did not pursue
the bug, so I do not know exactly what part of port.status caused exactly
what problem, or whether [pid] or CALL.STACK were really implicated.   I
just stopped using it so intensively.

My guess was that there was/is some sort of latent bug where the offending
code probably it needs to be executed in synch with something happening on
the affected other port.  The likelihood of the bug being activated is
probably low,  but if I did it often enough, I'd get (seemingly random)
hits.   That's as far as I took it and moved on.

Dan,  I for one would appreciate it if you would report back anything you
learn.

Regards,
Chuck

Re: [U2] PORT.STATUS affecting program

2009-12-08 Thread Wally Terhune 
Since your process is continuing (not core dumping, apparently), likely a 
different permutation.
If the system call is blocking the signal we are using, we may not be able to 
remedy for you.
If you need to progress this issue, please provide your test case, UniData 
version, platform, os version to your UniData support provider.

Also - readmes are publicly available on the Product Availability Matrix - 
regarding fixed issues.

Thanks Wally!

According to our IT policy, we are not actually allowed to divulge any
details on what software versions, etc, we are using. That's why I
simply posted a message asking if anyone knew anything offhand.

Being relatively new to the U2 style of through ISV support, when issues
are detected with previous releases (then fixed), are they only
available through the readme's of later releases or are notifications
passed down through the food chain? Obviously having to wait for and
then scan the readme's of each new release is a slow of tedious method
of finding out about potential issues with your system.

I can see how our signalling issue would fit into this, but "was run at
the moment the target udt process was freeing shared memory" doesn't
make sense when the process is sitting waiting at a blocking call for
pipes? Is this a different issue or was this all fixed as part of that?

Regards,
Dan

Assuming this is UniData, (though you don't specify db, version or os),
you may be encountering a signal issue that is fixed at 7.2.3. From the
readme:

Issue 11687 - Problem Description

UniData -- When using the PORT.STATUS command with the PID option
to review the CALL.STACK or another udt process, the target udt
process may have abnormally terminated and produced a core file.
This occurred if the PORT.STATUS command was run at the moment
the target udt process was freeing shared memory. This problem
has been fixed.

Subject: [U2] PORT.STATUS affecting program

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has encountered this before?

 

I was running some tests and discovered that doing a "PORT.STATUS PID
pid CALL.STACK" on a program that is waiting to open a named pipe with
OSOPEN caused it to bomb out.

 

I looked and it didn't have an ON ERROR statement, so I added it and
checked again. Every time I made the PORT.STATUS call, it caused it to
drop into the ON ERROR section.

 

My guess would be to perform the check on the program; it has to
interrupt it, hence causing it to bomb out of any blocking calls. Until
now, I had assumed the PORT.STATUS command would not affect a program,
but now it appears that it can, meaning it could potentially be
dangerous to use in a production environment.

 

Is this documented anywhere?

 

Regards,

Dan

Re: [U2] PORT.STATUS affecting program

2009-12-08 Thread George Gallen 
I do remember that port.status on an older version of UV would reset
the idle time of all the unix processes, I haven't checked that recently
in current version UV 10.0.2 (our current, not THE current level).

Possibly, whatever is causing the idle to reset, is also breaking the
FIFO connection of your blocking wait?
