[U2] Transferring Data for Development
I'm still relatively new to UniVerse so I was hoping for some advice on transferring data for a development copy. We have a client with an AIX system that has Intuit/Activant Eclipse as a front end using and IBM UniVerse as the database. We are hoping to be able to generate a copy of their database on a copy of a Windows based UniVerse database. At present, the servers are disconnected since the AIX is behind their private network and the Windows is on our development server. So far our client has only tried to copy the files and send them to us, which works in some cases. However, it has resulted in errors on various tables such as partfile pointers being cleared, file in use errors, and Unable to stat messages. Is there a defined process for moving data snapshots between servers in UniVerse? Thanks again for any tips, Andrew ... Andrew E. Tegenkamp Director, Systems Integration G3 Systems, Inc.

Re: [U2] AccuTerm File Transfer
I would agree with the FT subroutines. Although compared to ftp, they are EXTREMELY slow and ineffective for my use on large files, even the non-verifying version. As to why U2 does not 'support' it directly, it is a function that is specific to Accuterm's terminal emulator. It would be impractical for U2 to support all of the terminal emulators that can interface to it. Sincerely, David Laansma IT Manager Hubbard Supply Co.

Re: [U2] UV time milliseconds option
This pretty much agrees with what I was getting. The answer depends on the level of accuracy provided by the platform and the UniVerse release. If fractions of seconds are not available then the seconds are 'multiplied' by 1000. Dunno how that helps. OCONV(12345,MTS) is not pretty There is a new CONFIG option in the latest releases of UniVerse - 10 and above, I think TIMEACCURACY When this is on TIME() and SYSTEM(12) returns something like 49950.434 Fortunately, OCONV seems to handle the new decimal format. I am still a bit nervous what this is likely to do to our legacy code. This is not something I can turn on when needed. It is an all or nothing. Change it then restart UniVerse. Something else to look out for when upgrading. Thanks to everyone for helping to confirm that I am not hallucinating - this time.

Re: [U2] AccuTerm File Transfer
We have had this frustration of getting data from one U2 system to another for a number of years. We use to use wIntegrate which uses subroutines similar to AccuTerm, but we did not have another option. We do now. [ad] For 49.00 can copy large files lighting fast using our XLr8Editor. Our Copy/Paste utility uses standard UniObjects for Java so it understands the complexities of U2 files whether Universe or Unidata. The copy utility supports multiple clip boards as well. Additionally you get a Universe and Unidata editor that supports version control, color syntax, code templates, internal search, bookmarks, and local editing to name a few of the functions. Go to www.u2logic.com/tools.html for more information.

Re: [U2] AccuTerm File Transfer
Kevin, As OP suggested, the FT program can be used from the command line. To run from within another program, use the FTX subroutine. Example program: * open and read data to be transfered into ITEM variable. MODE = 'S,K' ;* Send from server to PC using Kermit protocol. FNAME = 'XYZ' ;* Filename on PC. PATH = 'c:\transfer\' ;* aka Windows folder. STAT = '' ;* Will be set if error occurs. CALL FTX(MODE, '', FNAME, PATH, ITEM, '', '', '', '', '', '', STAT) This will send the data in ITEM to the PC with a file name of XYZ in the c:\transfer directory/folder. The PC directory must exist. The following will start the WORDPAD program and display the file. PRINT CHAR(27): CHAR(2): 'wordpad.exe ': PATH: FNAME By changing the mode, you can read the data back into the server and save it, etc. DISCLAIMER! Some of this is from memory so there is no guarantee. See http://www.asent.com/ for more info. Contact Peter Schellenbach, he's been very helpful to me.
