[U2] ODBC question
Hi, While we're talking Unidata ODBC... I'm having trouble getting UNIDATA ODBC working here. Server is Tru64 Unix. Client is windows. UCI seems to be set up correctly. I can access the data and create views, etc with VSG. But, when I try to import or link to the data from Access or Excel, I get the following error: The ODBC screen pops up with most of the parameters filled in, except my password. I put in the password (and yes, I've tried it a million times and the password is correct!) and an error pop-up says: [Ardent][Unidata ODBC Driver][IBM][SQL Client][UNIDATA]Server is not authorized Anyone have any suggestions?

RE: [U2] ODBC question
Hi Marc, Good question. Yes we have licenses for both Unidata and ODBC, however, our server crashed hard a few months ago and I had to re-install Unidata (and just about everything else). I haven't tried using ODBC since then. It could be that the ODBC license wasn't re-installed correctly.

RE: [U2] Changes to the List
I would like to make a suggestion. The u2 users list has been in existence for a LONG time. Currently, the list is managed by the U2 User Group. (Up until yesterday, I was a member of the u2ug board, but my term expired). I would suggest that the u2ug board appoint a small team of people to investigate the options for communication to the u2 communities and come back with recommendations to the board. The investigation should look at all available options, listing the pros and cons of each. And it should include polling of the user community. This clearly a topic of interest to a lot of people. I imagine there are even a few people out there who wouldn't mind serving on this suggested team.

Several years ago I created a little utility to open sequential files as needed. It's pretty robust; hasn't given me much trouble over the years.

RE: [U2] Help!
It's now Sunday, so hopefully Wally Terhune and U2 support helped you get your system back up and healthy. Greetings, Thanks to everyone for their support, moral and technical, throughout this ordeal. The U2 support folks were GREAT!, especially Paul Chang and Jim Abshire. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I'm in much better shape now than yesterday at this time! Some things that helped: I ran a sys_check after the first crash, which saved a lot of important information in a .html file Almost all of my Unidata install was on a separate disk which was unaffected by the crash After the second crash, we saw where we were headed and had everyone start preparing for the worst while the system was available And excellent support from both IBM (UniData) and HP (the OS) Some things I still have to figure out: Print queues seem to be set up correctly, but they're not printing (jobs hang in the queue) We're running on a 40-user 30-day temporary license. Gotta fix that Monday. Our normal login routines aren't working. (see below) And I have to rebuild a lot of OS startup files, etc Login procedure problem: We used to point user logins to a udt startup script by naming it as the shell in /etc/passwd. So, for example, a user name TEST would have as the default shell in /etc/password something like /unidata/local/bin/udtlogin. That script would set UDTBIN, UDTHOME, etc then cd to the unidata account directory, then start unidata. The advantage of this is that the user never gets to the Unix command prompt. When they leave Unidata, their session goes away. It doesn't work now for some reason. It never goes into Unidata. Instead the session starts up then ends abruptly. OK, back to work I go.

RE: [U2] AUTOLOGOUT
remember that you need to 'exec' uv to overlay the current process or it will create a subprocess to run UniVerse. In which case, the autologout will simply be returning them to their calling shell. We take a shortcut on using startup files like .profile. Instead, we put an entry into /etc/passwd for users that we want going directly to Unidata. In the field used to designate the user's shell, we put a reference to a login file that starts up Unidata. Since this then becomes the user's shell, once the shell ends, the process goes away. For example: juser:*:238:15:Joe User,Reservations Dept,1131,:/usr/users/juser:/unidata/local/bin/udtlogin The last entry points to a udtlogin which sets all the necessary environment variable, changes directory to the top of our Unidata application menu, then starts udt: # Define environment variables and set PATH, then start udt # PRINTER=system; export PRINTER UDTHOME=/unidata/ud5211; export UDTHOME UDTBIN=/unidata/ud5211/bin; export UDTBIN UDTLOCBIN=/unidata/local/bin; export UDTLOCBIN UDT_EDIT=emacs; export UDT_EDIT INTERFACE=/unidata/interface; export INTERFACE # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/opt/DAU200/connect/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH=$PATH:$UDTBIN:$UDTLOCBIN:LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/odbc/odbc.ini; export PATH ODBCINI=/opt/odbc/odbc.ini; export ODBCINI ODBCHOME=/var/opt/DAU200/connect; export ODBCHOME EDITOR=/usr/bin/emacs; export EDITOR # alias ED=emacs alias PRINT=lp alias print=lp alias edit=emacs alias EDIT=emacs # umask 000 # cd /unidata/SMUGGLER/AHS udt Dana Baron System Manager Smugglers' Notch Resort --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

[U2] [UD] LINE.ATT for attaching serial line
Greetings, I'm trying to write a Unidata program to interface with another system via the serial port (/dev/tty01) on a Compaq Tru64 system. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this that may be able to offer some advice. Specifically, according to the published protocol, I need to wait for an ENQ (ascii 5) and I reply with ACK (ascii 6). It goes on from there but I won't bore you with the details. Until today, I couldn't get the other system to recognize my ACK. Today I got it working by making a small change to the LINE.ATT command that attaches the line - I added the DELAY parameter. This got it working for the first exchange but not for subsequent exchanges. All of this is by way of asking: Does anyone have any more detail on how LINE.ATT with DELAY works or is supposed to work? (the page from the manual is shown below. Not much detail.) Thanks, Dana Baron System Manager Smugglers' Notch Resort Page from manual for LINE.ATT command: LINE.ATT Syntax LINE.ATT line [DELAY] Synonym LINE-ATT Description The ECL LINE.ATT command attaches a communication line to the current process. The attaching process then has exclusive use of that line until it is detached with the LINE.DET command. A single process can attach up to five resources per UniData session. Warning On some platforms, you must specify DELAY in LINE.ATT to avoid problems with subsequent UniBasic SEND commands overlaying data. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

George Gallen wrote: what is on the other side of the tty port? a modem or device? If a modem, what is on the other end of the modem? Is this a PPP/SLIP or just system - system. This is part of an effort to interface with a Squirrel POS system. The tty port connects to a Systech brand serial port server. It's a box that sort of converts serial to Ethernet. It has an IP address that is known by the Squirrel server. Data going back and forth between the two systems is sent over the network between the server and the serial port server. It's then converted to/from serial. The interface protocol defines the structure and content of the messages between machines. It's all based on serial communications, with ASCII characters used to control the signaling (ENQ, ACK, NAK, STX, ETX, etc). Until now, I've been frustrated in my attempts to get the Squirrel system to understand my ACK response to its ENQ. It usually figures it out after the fourth or fifth try, but by then it's too late. Working with Squirrel support, I learned that the buffer had data other than my ACK in it when it arrived. I tried using the DELAY parameter on the LINE.ATT command and suddenly Squirrel understood the ACK on the first try. The Unidata manual says: Warning On some platforms, you must specify DELAY in LINE.ATT to avoid problems with subsequent UniBasic SEND commands overlaying data. So, I guess I'm having problems with my SEND commands overlaying data. Now I'd like more detail on what this means and how to get around it.

Unfortunately, I need to work with Squirrel support to help debug this, but they report that they're seeing my ACK embedded in other data, things like CR LF, etc, but the data is not consistent. They look only at the first character and if its not an ACK, they ignore it. Once I changed to use DELAY, Squirrel recognized the ACK on the first try. second, what is the baud rate/parity of the systech, and where are you setting it? If you are getting the ENQ and sending an ACK that's unrecognized, maybe you've got the wrong parity. It seems that the baud and parity are all fine since I can see the data correctly at both ends, it just isn't matching the protocol, and as I said above the data I'm sending is getting mixed up with other stuff. And the DELAY parameter on the LINE.ATT helps sort things out, at least for the first SEND. Finally, it sounds like your POS is using tcp to talk to the systech, and then you're using serial for the systech to talk to unidata. Would it be possible to use tcp sockets and go directly from the POS to unidata without the impediment of a serial link? I've explored that option with Squirrel (the POS brand), and unfortunately it's a no go. I can't understand why not in this day and age, but I'm playing with their toys. Thanks for the follow-up questions. Dana Baron System Manager Smugglers' Notch Resort --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

[U2] Writeseq quirkiness - the answer
Greetings, And the prize goes to Kevin King! He came up with the write answer to solve my writeseq problem. Of course, he had an advantage since he helped write the application in the first place. Still, I was stumped and his answer worked. Thank you (once again!), Kevin. For those who care: To understand the solution, you need a little more background. The code segment I sent is part of an application that manages the interface between my Unidata application and a third-party device, which in turn manages the interface with a bunch of other devices. When I want to send data out of my application, I create a file with a .out extension and write the appropriately formatted data to the file. A program written by Kevin King sits out there looking for files with .out extensions. When it finds one, it reads the file and sends the data to the third-party device. It then deletes the file. And this is wherein lay the problem, and the solution. What was happening was, my program would open the file (OPENSEQ) and Kevin's program would come along and try to read it, then delete it, then I'd try to write to it (WRITESEQ), but by then it was gone. I changed the code a little bit to open the file with a .tmp extension, write to that, then rename it to .out. Works great! There are still a few mysteries: why does the original code work for just about every situation, then suddenly fail for one new situation that is seemly the same as all the others? But heck, it works so I'll go with it. Thanks to everyone who responded with a solution. And the u2 list comes through again!

[U2] [UD]WRITESEQ quirkiness
Here's a puzzler: what is it that causes the ELSE clause to be executed in a WRITESEQ block when the only apparent change is the content of the data to be written. I've included a section of code below followed by the output from two subsequent calls. In the first, the code executes the THEN clause and prints SENDING... In the second, the ELSE clause is executed producing the ERROR WRITING... results. Any thoughts? Could it be that there is a limit to the size of the data that wan be written using WRITESEQ? This code segment: ** SAVE_MESSAGE_FILE: UNIX_DIR = /unidata/lodginglink/ SAVE_DIR = /unidata/lodginglink/save/ DATE_PART = DATE() TIME_PART = TIME() MSG_PART = UHLL.ITEMUHLL.TXN.ID.AMC : UHLL.ITEMUHLL.SEQ.NUM.AMC FILE_NAME = DATE_PART:TIME_PART:MSG_PART:.out OPENSEQ UNIX_DIR, FILE_NAME TO FILE_POINTER THEN OK_TO_CONTINUE = TRUE.

RE: [U2] [UD]WRITESEQ quirkiness
Hi Kevin, Thanks for the reply. The data to be written is not very big. Its shown below. It is HEX data, don't know if that makes a difference. This has been working fine but suddenly its not, but only for one type of message, and I don't know what changed. These are the messages that I'm writing to be picked up by the java routine you wrote for us to move data from our Unidata system to another system. Only they're not getting written successfully by Unidata. There must be something odd about the data, though I can't see anything different. HEX MESSAGE IS 02323534343430303030333639393939303038303139444953484F4E47482C2047454F524749 41204C313036303039312A313136333438323134343030313031353130303130313734303034 33383031313735303033535931313737303031300330 Dana Baron System Manager Smugglers' Notch Resort --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] How is the voting going?
Well, we still have about 5 days left in the voting period, so we may see another 800 votes, but I doubt it. In fact our turnout is roughly equivalent to the US election turnout you mentioned. While a 20% turnout for the US national elections is a pretty sad state of affairs, given the nature of this vote, that's actually pretty good. I'm just glad to find that there are at least a few people out there who think that what we're doing is valuable enough to pay some attention. And thanks again for your support.

AHS2 DBMSTYPE = UNIDATA network = TCP/IP service = udserver host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx On our system, the database path information is kept on the Unidata server in a file called /usr/unidata/include/ud_database.

[U2] Unidata Personal Edition
Hi, This should be a simple question: how do I download UDPE? I went to the IBM website where I was informed that I could download UDPE, but I found no link and no instructions. On the TechConnect site I found a form to fill out to download UDPE. I filled out the form - twice - and still I did not get a link or instructions for download. I followed this up with a question in the Feedback area. I got a reply: Someone will get back to you shortly. That was five days ago. Hopefully someone on this list can point me in the right direction.

RE: [U2] Unidata 6 and Tru64
Nick, According to IBM the unaligned access message is normal and is disabled by adding uac p noprint to the user profile. We use Unidata 5.2 on Tru64 and I've never seen the unaligned access message you refer to and we don't have uac p noprint in the profile. Is this behavior specific to Unidata 6? Will we have issues if we ever upgrade to UD 6? I suppose these are questions more appropriately directed to IBM, but your experience has me wondering.

[U2] U2UG Needs You
Greetings, If you're on this e-mail list, you're probably at least vaguely aware of the existence of a nascent U2 users group. And if you're mildly curious, you may be asking yourself, and others, whatever happened to that group. Well there has been a lot going on behind the scenes. We have a founding board working to create an international organization with by-laws, elections and such. Here are some of the things the board has been doing so far, some visible, some not: 1. In May Clif Oliver handed over the management of this list to the U2UG. 2. There is a U2UG website: http://www.u2ug.org/ 3. The U2UG is organizing a general meeting to coincide with the IBM Data Management Conference in September (see the web site for details). 4. The board has been working on ways to share information about U2 beyond the lists and the web site. All of this with just 13 members of the founding board! And that's the reason for this message. We've reached the point where we need help. Your help. Here is a list of the volunteer opportunities available to you in helping to bring this valuable organization into a thriving existence. 1. Nominations committee - We need people to help run the nominating committee. They will help conduct an honest election. We need to begin this process by September 2004. 2. Web site help - help us manage the content on the web site. 3. We also need everyone to consider contributing content. We need your success stories, funny stories about the SORT verb, articles about multivalue database theory, whatever you have. 4. Newsletter - we need department editors and contributors. 5. U2 Promotion - We need people who are willing to put a U2UG member sticker and link on their home pages (personal and corporate) and otherwise promote these powerful products. Looking forward to your support, Dana Baron System Manager Smugglers' Notch Resort (and U2 Founding Board Member) P.S. - If you received two copies of this message its probably because you are a member of both the U2-community and U2-users lists. --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
