Re: [U2] UV 10 para Suse 9.2

2005-03-21 Thread Don Kibbey
I've used a 2 user licensed (NOT pe) UniVerse 10.1 on Gentoo, Redhat
and SuSE 8.2 during my testing.  As others have said, I've found it
works just fine with just about any linux distro out there.   I'm also
betting that IBM would support it on most any of the mainstream
distros as most of them are the same under the hood.  You may have to
tweak a couple of the startup scripts and make an adjustment or two to
the install procedures, but after that it's all good.  Currently, I'm
running that very same 2 users license on a SuSE 8.2 system as a
development tool.  Granted, it's not servicing many users, but it has
worked without incident for the past year.

My code has comments that don't always relate to the code.  And I
should probably step up the documentation to include the specific
request itself.  Or devise a more formal methad as Mr. Ellwood has
done.

But, where I work we are all at will employees.  Fired at will or
walk at will either way.

I'm not too worried about loosing a job over some code changes that
were misused.  And I don't think that jail time is going to happen for
a coder who makes a change that a CPA abuses.  I should also point out
that I have the benefit(!?!?) of working for a partnership that is not
(yet) required to meet the SOX regulations.

Re: [U2] UD: ODBC/OleDB access to selected records in a file

2005-03-15 Thread Don Kibbey
I've found the best way for me to do what you are describing is to use
UniObjects .Net to create a recordset from the UniData/UniVerse
machine and then pass that recordset into a Crystal Report.  Probably
not what you want to hear, but it is a method to stitch together your
current programs with your spiffy new Crystal Reports.

Re: [U2] RE:

2005-03-15 Thread Don Kibbey
Installing a current version of UniVerse onto a Solaris box would be
the quickest way to move the application.  If your not familiar with
UniVerse, you would be wise to invest in a few hours of consultant
time for someone else to perform the upgrade for you.

To move the data out of UniVerse to another platform you really need
to know what's in the database and how it's structured.  A few hours
with a consultant might get you headed in the right direction.  You
may find that extracting only the subset of stuff your users are
really interested in will be more cost effective than upgrading or
converting the entire application.

I don't do outside consulting, but I know there are a few on this list who do.

 Hi,
 
 Me again... Another thought occurred to me. You were saying this wasn't

 weren't likely to put money out to upgrade to a new version of UV. And
 with the costs of UV licenses, I can't say that I'd blame them. BUT,
 there is a UniVerse Personal Edition that may be the trick for you. It
 doesn't come with support, but you can find support other places
 (contractors, VARs, etc. - I actually do a little of that in the
 healthcare field where I came from on the side as time permits). The UV
 Personal Edition runs on a RedHat Linux and Windows. I think it allows 2
 simultaneous connections to it.
 
 Link to IBM's UV site: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/u2/universe/
 
 The PE version has been temporarily removed from the site, but it is
 possible to get a hold of them. I might still have a CD around, or may
 be able to get it. I'm dealing with UD more at the moment.
 Does this sound like something that may be of use?

Re: [U2] UV migration

2005-03-15 Thread Don Kibbey
Getting the data from unix to a pc running windows or linux can be
done any number of ways.  The basic receipe is copy, fnuxi, resize,
recompile, run.  You can use nfs, ftp, tape, rsync, samba shares, etc
to get the data from one machine to another.  The fnuxi part is a
UniVerse command to convert the data format from one machine type and
version to another.

Using a 1-2 user developers license for UniVerse 10 and a pc running
windows or linux would probably be the most cost effective solution if
general lookup is all you want to do.

Sorry, I work for lawyers were throw money at it is S.O.P.  Getting
the data out of the old system and onto brand X database system does
not require either a new UniVerse license or an install of PE.  It
would however go much easier with an install of a consultant type who
could quickly show the folks what is in the system, where it's stored
and the quickest and cheapest way to get it out of there.

I guess the moral of this story is you ask a broad question, you get
lots of broad answers.

Re: [U2] Is replication across versions a possibility?

2005-03-04 Thread Don Kibbey
Upgrade via replication sounds like a receipe for lots of wailing and
knashing of teeth.  Have a look at uvbackup and uvrestore.  Or read
up on rsync as a means to get the data from one machine to another. 
If it were me, I think I'd do a uvbackup to a network mounted
filesystem (samba or nfs) and then do a uvrestore from that disk to
the final location.

Doing a test conversion would allow you to get an idea of how long it
will take and should uncover any hidden gotchas in moving from Irix to
Linux.

Re: [U2] Is replication across versions a possibility?

2005-03-04 Thread Don Kibbey
Yes, going from Irix (MIPS?) to Linux on X86 will most likely require
fnuxi to be run on everything after the transfer.  Since the fnuxi
process would run on the newer machine, it would probably still be
much faster to run an rsync, then find - fnuxi script.

Just be very carefull with rsync!  It's a sharp knife.  Flip around
the systems and you could step on the live account with test data 
Do some testing with a couple of small directories until your
comfortable with it.

to the windows system, but when I write or move the file over to the NFS
mount, the attributes are only separated by unrecognizable characters
(to notepad).

The problem is, the version of the (BarTender) application I'm upgrading
to, requires a CRLF before/after one of the attributes.

Any suggestions/thoughts?

TIA,
Amy

Re: [U2][UD] Using Environmental Variables in VOC...

2005-01-28 Thread Don Verhagen
It works on UNIX, however, you could have a program get the environment 
variable and write out the voc with the path information.

UDTBIN_PATH = GETENV(UDTBIN)
SAVEDLOG_PATH = UDTBIN_PATH:saved_logs

VOC.REC= DIR
VOC.REC2 = SAVEDLOG_PATH
VOC.REC3 = D_BP

It would seem unnecessary, but hey it's Friday and I'm leaving for the beach 
(bar).

Thanks,

I want to have a VOC entry called UDT_SAVED_LOGS

002: $UDTBIN\saved_logs
003: D_BP

The Dict section doesn't matter, it just has to exist... And I would have
thought the $UDTBIN would map correctly, but it does not (6.0.6, NT) --
Should it?  Or is this one of those where each site would have to be
hard-coded to the path??

My goal is an 'In-App' test of logs - things like Replication can die
quietly..., and with no effect on the end user to warn them...  I want to
test the file for size and content and decide if I should raise a 'Red
Alert' within the appication - I can hard code the path per site, but seems
like enrvironmantals *should* work...

Is there a way to save .Net exe app programs on a Unix box... such that
Windows users can launch these programs directly?

A lecturer indicated how to save exe apps on a Windows Server.  For us here,
the trouble with this scheme is that it turns 2-tier into 3-tier.  That is,
if the Win Server goes down, clients would be unable to run their ERP
programs.

This scenario seems to make a compelling case for Java over .NET.

Sorry so late, it's been very busy here and I've turned off u2 list access

out of the .net developers guide...

is...

string [] lRecIDArray ;

StringBuilder lStrValue = new StringBuilder();

UniDynArray uvTmp = uSession.CreateUniDynArray();

// select a file, here I'm just getting everything
uvsl.Select(uvfVENDOR);
// read the whole list into a unidynarray, I happen
to know this file is not very big so it's ok.
uvTmp = uvsl.ReadList();


// create array of Record IDs
for(int Index = 0; Index  uvTmp.Dcount(); Index++)
{
string s = uvTmp.Extract(Index).ToString(); 
if (s.Length  0){
lRecIDList.Add(s);
}
}   


// this is the part obtained from the manual.
lRecIDArray = new string[lRecIDList.Count];
lRecIDList.CopyTo(0,lRecIDArray,0,lRecIDList.Count);

// read records using array of record ids

right now

Subject: RE: [U2] Uniobjects.NET speed/performance

I've had the same experience, using a select loop in a list runs very
slowly, and was planning to try this same approach.  I tried to use ReadList
method of the Slist object as documented in the UniObjects manual, but
haven't gotten it to work yet.  Did you use the ReadList or did you fill the
array by repeating listobject.Next()?  

I'm still on UniObject 6, working with UniData 6.  If I just do a
listobject.Select(fileobject) then it processes fast enough.  But if I
execute a command to create a select list and then loop through it, the
performance gets progressively worse as the record count increases.  

I'd appreciate any example you might be able share.

Thanks

I really don't understand why IBM does not just post the developers tools as

RE: [U2] Uniobjects.NET speed/performance

2004-12-04 Thread Don Kibbey
Suppose I should have mentioned that my example was in c# using UniObjects
.Net.  I have been able to see that using the readlist method allows the
program to run much faster, simply putting the select list into a loop and
reading one record at a time runs noticeably slower.  I didn't have this
problem with the com based uniobjects or with the uniobjects for java
library (even when I ran that under c# and .net).  I've seen another post
that referred to an updated dll, but when I tried to obtain it I was told by
my var that it's not available.  Now, I've also run up on a problem with
writefield as it performs a consistent seg fault when used.

I'm a bit perplexed by how UniObjects for .net was written.  An example is
with the writefield method itself.  Instead of following the pattern laid
out by UniObjects for Java, the programmer(s) chose to shuffle the order of
the arguments to this method making it a nuisance to switch back and forth
from one library to another.  Not a big deal when your going to use only one
environment, but still an oversight that could have easily been taken care
of with a bit of attention to detail.

 Lesson 1 from school or hard knocks Never do multiple upgrades at the

Having worked for vars and having done literally hundreds of upgrades of
both OS and DBMS, I agree whole heartedly. Let there be at least 2 weeks,
after all the bugs are worked out, before doing the second upgrade. There
is one major problem with this when one works for an organization that

RE: [U2] Suspend.files

2004-10-25 Thread Don Cutting
We have been using the suspend option as part of our back up plan, since we moved to 
UV 10.0.19 earlier this year, we are on AIX 5.2 ML3 at this time. 

Our back up process is scripted at the AIX level. We suspend UniVerse, then run sync 
several times, then break a 3rd set of mirrors, and unsuspend UniVerse. This process 
takes about 10 minutes to complete. We were using the AIX snap on and snap off 
commands, to take a snap shot of our system. However, IBM AIX has an issue with the 
snap logic, which can cause the system to hang - and the only way to get it back, is a 
hard reboot - which is not pretty. IBM AIX is working on this problem and with luck 
will have a fix in the next few weeks. Once they do, using the snap at AIX, only takes 
a minute or two and then UnVerse can be unsuspended. The back up then takes place on 
the snap area, once the back up is completed, you snap off and the snap area is 
removed.

Once IBM has the snap correction in place, we will be moving to AIX 5.2 ML4, which is 
the version IBM is working on for the snap correction. It is my understanding that ML4 
has other changes for UniVerse and for JFS2 file systems, which we are using.

We are 24X7 and this has worked great for us (other than the snap issue). The users 
are able to continue to access the database for inquiry during the suspend, if they 
try to write, they will hang until the database is unsuspended. Our users know what 
time each night this will take place and know to not break out or reboot etc during 
this time. 

Hope this helps, feel free to drop me a note if you would like more information.

Thanks and have a great day!

Textpad is a great windows editor (we have a site licence and install

I know I've edited some very large delimited files with it.  It has

regular expression search and replace that makes stripping or adding

from/went, you could put any return address on an envelope and no one would
ever know it wasn't accurate. Heck, you might still be able to do that in
some cities.

The US post office doesn't track the return address on US mail, it tracks which post 
office it was processed in. You can put *anything* as the return address on a piece of 
mail. Look at the anthrax, mail fraud, and other cases.

Considering one of my US credit card companies preprints *their* address as the return

widespread.

RE: [U2] UV Objects .Net slow

2004-09-20 Thread Don Kibbey
I had some issues with select lists.  Found that if I read the entire select
list into an uniarray and then processed it, things went much faster.
Probably not a good idea for really large select lists, but then the stuff
I'm working with should never be more than a few thousand (famous last
words).

RE: [U2] UVODBC first query

2004-09-09 Thread Don Verhagen
I know this happens even with TELNET on Window Servers. It has something
do with the first time it looks up a username in the doman and then it
caches the the user tree (probably wrong term) of all the users. So each
login after than does NOT have to retrieve a list of users. Does that
make sense?

I recently had a sys admin try to get me to use webex instead of
netmeeting.
He said it works much better because it's browser based.

www.webex.com says they are cross platform (HPUX, Linux etc). It's a
full
blown video-tel-white board conferencing application but from what I
understand you could just use it as a telnet session.

It's a web based version of Net Meeting which I've used as a virtual
console.

They offer a free-trial for 15 days, so if you are willing to be our
guinea
pig you can let us know if it works.

RE: [U2] UniDK

2004-07-17 Thread Don Kibbey
Don't let him/her near a live production environment.  One small slip of the
knife and you could be in big trouble.  Beginners sometimes have a hard
time getting their minds around multivalue fields.  Could be an even bigger
problem if they are using the java libraries and they forget to add the
second or third variable to a field write.  The write will succeed, but
you'll have a data file that is way out of wack.

If they want to learn that's good.  Have them download and install the PE
version of the product.  Let them run their experiments on copies of the
data and not the real thing.

RE: [U2] [OT]Postscript to a Laser on Dumb Term Aux Port

2004-06-06 Thread Don Kibbey
I would go with the HP printers.  The $99 dollar printer may be a windows
only device that relies on the host cpu to do most of the processing.  This
could be more problematic than the spooler.

We switched from pcl only printers to combos that are capable of both pcl
and postscript a couple of years ago.  We found that printing large volumes
of pdf files to a pcl only printer was slower than if the same model printer
had a postscript driver.  We did not take the time to figure out exactly
why, we just switched.  (I work for lawyers who are just as impatient as
furniture buyers :-)

Subject: RE: [U2] [OT]Postscript to a Laser on Dumb Term Aux Port

Much has been considered.  These are retail cashiering station that we are
talking about.  One central printer would be my next choice.  The only thing
that can go wrong is that the printer hangs and the whole front counter is
dead.  When the printer runs out of paper, or toner or the drum, or what
have you, they would panic, because the light would be blinking and they
wouldnt know what to do (these guys really arent too bright and would
always rather have the other guy fix the problem). It will lead to a
situation where the printer gets disabled at the unix level and has to be
enabled (easy for you and me, but a mountain for these guys).  Mind you all
this is happening in a retail environment with customers waiting for
receipts (ever been in a supermarket when the receipt printer jams - what if
that was one printer for the whole market).  This isnt good. The spooler is
the obstacle that Im trying to avoid. I started to think of the cheapest,
easiest, uncomplicated way to go about doing this. This is to continue doing
the same thing that has worked flawlessly for about 15 years. The reason for
going to laser is to eliminate preprinted forms, which saves substantial
cash.  I originally believed that the $99 laser I had did postscript.  If it
did, I would be golden.  It doesnt.  It does do PCL4.  So, my next avenue
to explore is to convert the postscript to PLC4 or convert the PDF being
created directly to PCL4.  Currently, the preprinted forms/Epson arrangement
is doing straight ascii printing.  We have started using the Cross PDF
package and we are converting everything to PDF. We are eliminating pre
printed forms wherever they exist.  If all of this ends up not working, then
I will go with the spooled printer solution.  Then I have to create a bunch
of menu options to allow users to view the status of the spooler and printer
- is lpd running, is the printer disabled, is there a lock file that needs
to be cleaned up.  I dont look forward to this. The dumb terminal cost
about $350 w/kybd new.  The laser Im considering is $99.  The cheapest laser
that does postscript (that I know of yet) is the hp 2100 about $400. Im open
to anything that is completely simple and cheap.  I have brought up the idea
of thermal printers like they use in Best Buy, etc... nobody likes em.  We
are a furniture store and the appearance of this just doesnt fit
considering the average ticket is about $1500 and some substantially more.
The owner likes something a little more elegant. So, now you know a little
more about the environment what do you think ?

Personally I'd recommend that you reconsider the architecture that you're
trying to build, rather than reconsidering the specific devices that you're
trying to fit into that architecture.  I'm reading square pegs and round
holes here.

Dumb terminals were designed when we didn't have anything better.  Do you
really want to hang many laserjets around on dumb terminals that cost less
than the printers themselves?  Do each of your end-users really require
exclusive access to a laserjet?  And do you really need to manually generate
a lot of PCL?

I understand the needs of smaller sites and that it's not easy to drag new
cables around for a new printer, etc.  These days a wireless setup will cost
as much as the $100 manual that someone proposed.  And it's much easier to
generate XML or HTML and export it as PDF, or use some other more text-based
methods that result in high quality printed output.

I'm just suggesting that you think outside of the box for a moment and
consider something different than what the site already has, rather than
just replacing old methods with new hardware.

Good luck,
Tony

From Anthony Dzikiewicz
 I think you're right.  I assumed that this is postscript  printer.  We 
have  always used this with windows and could print postscript, but  it 
is being  converted.  I guess I should start over with a real  
postscript
