[U2] Accessing UV Data from Microsoft SSIS in SQL Server 2005

2006-05-19 Thread Bill Hazard
Hi All,
I would like to use Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services to access data
in UniVerse.  Do any of you have advice on accessing UV data from SSIS? 
 
Also, I have found several references to VSG (Visual Schema Generator),
but I cannot locate this application anywhere.  Is it of value in preparing
for ODBC/OLEDB access?  What product includes VSG?
Thanks for help,
Bill Hazard

Re: [U2] Citrix with Universe

2006-05-12 Thread Bill Hazard
Hi Mike,
Given that you're running a custom VB app, the question you pose is a bit more 
about citrix/mac than it is about universe.  Citrix will provide remote access 
to any app from the citrix client.  Your VB app will run on a windows box with 
citrix server software.  Citrix does have mac clients (9 and 10), so what you 
suggest is certainly feasible.  Issues related to running any app under citrix 
include running multiple client instances (can your app run multiple instances 
on one windows box?), scale (each citrix server will run multiple instances of 
your app -- how many will you need to provide adequate performance?), security 
(your users will have a citrix logon and an application logon unless you 
take steps to merge 'em) and access to local resources (e.g., your app running 
on a central citrix server may want to try to print to a local printer -- 
citrix helps here, but can be tricky).  

VNC is another option, depending on needs.  Much less ability (but hence, 
simpler ...).

I've run citrix farms supporting 100s of concurrent users accessing an app from 
50-100 locations over a WAN on various platforms.  I'm not a big fan of Citrix, 
but it is definately a best-of-class solution to a set of problems (I try to 
avoid having this particular set of problems, but sometimes can't be avoided!).

Hope this helps and I'm sure others out there will have thoughts as well.
Bill

Subject: [U2] Citrix with Universe

Does anyone out here have experience with Citrix as it pertains to
Universe?

We have some customers / prospects that use Macs as their desktop
computer and would like to connect to our app.  Our front-end is written
in Visual Basic and doesn't run on the Mac.  Someone from sales just
mentioned that we might be able to use Citrix to get the app to a Mac.
So, does Citrix have a Mac client?  Does anyone have any war stories
from an implementation or anything like that?

Thanks,
-Mike Pflugfelder

 Hello List,



 Does anyone know where I can get FREE software that will convert Excel 
 files to text files in command line mode ?

How about trying openoffice.org? I'm not sure if it has commandline options,
but it does everything else...





 Thx,



 Rudy

Re: [U2] Escaping the '' in Windows XP from Universe

2006-04-28 Thread Bill Hazard
I'm a U2 newbie, so can't test (EXECUTE is not in my VOC, sadly), but as an XP 
guy, I have a couple of thoughts:
a) two parsers are involved (UV and XP), and the second one (XP) needs to see 
the quote -- suggest using  or even  (i.e., escape the quote itself to be 
sure it gets through to XP)
b) use ECHO in front of DIR to have XP print what it thinks it is about to 
execute. So run:
  EXECUTE DOS /C ECHO DIR 
UVUSR\LFC\HOLD\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv
  Should report (somewhere!):
 DIR UVUSR\LFC\HOLD\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv
c) if none of this helps, under xp, cmd /? provides some insight to quote 
handling

Bill

How about

EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\HOLD\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv

So that it's all one command?

And your fall back could always be to move the HOLD record into 
another file without the s and Execute against it.

 Windows is choking on the . It thinks HOLD is a file in the LFC
 directory.

 I tried the following-

 EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\HOLD\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv
 EXECUTE DOS /C DIR 'UVUSR\LFC\HOLD\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv'
 EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\HOLD\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv

 and a few other things, but no go.

 We are on
