Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1 Replication
Kevin, I would not use replication for U2 for 6x. I was given the mandate to use then IBM replication at a company I used to work for, and it didn't work. It wasn't on problem, but a whole hosts of problem. I set up two test boxes four different times and tested it. The 4th time I had 30 people from then IT staff (I was part of the staff then) hammer on it. Then we went live. It worked for 4 days then crashed the whole system. Then it worked for a few hours. Then, it kept crashing (hanging the servers). We had to pull it out. We were on Unidata, but it's the same code base. I can only say that if you want to go ahead with it, find someone who's using it successfully, and find out what environment they're in, version, ect. It's based on Unix and has different issues on different O/Ss. But, personally, I'd try RFS first, or write your own. That's what we ended up doing. And it worked. We used triggers and hammered the system 24/7. There were some issues, but we worked them all out, and we're able to process millions of transactions per day. What we ended up doing is finding all the weak spots in Unidata and avoiding them. The biggest weak spot was locks. The system couldn't hanldle the million+ locks per day. I went to double buffering, avoiding locks (an old GUI technique!). Also, I had to convert types of records to hex, and the UD hex conversion is slow. It's amazing what works in UD and scales, and what doesn't. To write one's own takes time and is expensive. I think that using mirrored drives is better!!! RFS???

Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1 Replication
Replication is QUITE useful at 7.1.20 and later I know -- we have lots of people using it now! Before this time, it had issues with large records, multiple overwrites one the same key, etc. At 7.1.20 they also improved the monitoring. Don't bother at less than 7.1.20 IMHO David W. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1 Replication
Doubletake is an O/S answer -- but you cannot use the 'DoubleTake' data to host a reporting server, can you? UniData Replication is great for being able to have the database in two places at once with for either backup, hot spare, or 'query only' access. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Address Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 8:33 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1 Replication We are using Double-Take to replicate. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Uniobject.NET -Unable to load subroutine
This may be a total red herring, but I would try setting both subroutine arguments to something, not just the first one - even if you only set them to String.Empty. How is the subroutine catalogued BTW? As for your connection pooling issue - Make sure you are: 1. using a UniObjects DLL that supports pooled connections 2. are connecting to a version of UniData/UniVerse that supports pooled connections 3. connecting to a server that is licensed for pooled connections..

which user did you install Universe as. They become the user with SQL DBA rights.

Re: [U2] [UV] ODBC + UPS
You need to change the the READ parameter in the HS_FILE_ACCESS record for the UV file to READ_WRITE, then run HS.UPDATE.FILEINFO in that file's account. At that point a SQL insert to the file from the windows side should be allowed.
