Unclassified RE: [U2] Testing if a Unidata file has records or not!

[HENDERSON MICHAEL MR]

Frank,

I wouldn't do it that way!
If the file actually has a gazillion records in it, "COUNT" could take a
l-o-n-g time! ;-)

Another way could be to do 
EXECUTE 'SELECT  SAMPLE 1'.
IF @SELECTED EQ 0 THEN

END ELSE

END
[This is the UniVerse syntax, but UDT should be similar]

Subject: [U2] Testing if a Unidata file has records or not!

To All:

I am writing an interesting program.  One that finds where a file is
empty of records or not.  I used the EXECUTE command with the COUNT
command to get the number of records in a file.  If its 0 then the file
is empty.

But is there a better way as the execution command causes problem in
other parts of this program.

So, if anyone has any ideas along the lines of telling if a file is
empty (Unidata file), could you please give me a note!


Thank You Very Much!

Ken,

As I understand it, you don't!
You configure your _U2 server_ to talk to your SSL-enabled 
IBM-supplied U2 client. Telnetd never gets involved in the 
security. This is more secure, as all the traffic is encrypted 
from U2 to wIntegrate, and would go through the telnet daemon 
encrypted, but it's of course completely different to the way 
everyone else does it.  Sigh.
Oh, yes and MUCH more complicated, too, as you need SSL Certificates
and all that kind of palaver

It's a Public Key Infrastructure problem, with Certificates & stuff.

Unfortunately NOT!

Ken wants SSH, but wIntegrate and the U2 server products support SSL.

Almost every other telnet client available - even free ones like
TeraTerm - supports SSH, but wIntegrate & Dynamic Connect don't.  Also
the U2 Windows telnet servers are not SSH-capable, so you can't use an
SSH telnet client at all on a Windows / U2 solution.

I have raised this before (with IBM, too) and cannot understand why they
have chosen the SSL approach rather than the more industry-standard SSH
for telnet connections.

No we don't run any production server applications on XP: it's a client

But we certainly do run our main production UV application (220 users)

Bob,

Yes, we're doing it (went live to Production last week, actually, but
it's been in Test for 3 months)
We're running UV10.0.15 on Windows 2003 Server - you don't mention your
UV host platform.

For a Windows host, you don't need any 'extra' software, you just use
the MS SQL Server driver.

The documentation on BCI is not the best and the 'SQLBCIDEMO' example
programming awful.
Ray Wurlod pointed me (via this list) to the CONNECT program [source
code also in the BP of the UV account] which is much, much better.  It's
perhaps instructive that when IBM (well, Ardent, actually) needed to
write a useful, working, program, they used [almost] none of the code
from the 'demo' program they provide and use as examples in the manual
:-(

There are some more, well-written, examples for you that might help,
available from the U2 Knowledge Base.  They were written by Paul Chang,
who is IBM's BCI expert in Denver.  Here are the U2 Knowledge Base

Hi:

I have been investigating the possiblility (using the BASIC SQLInterface
functions) of accessing a Micosoft SQLServer database from U2.

All the procedures I need are covered by the BASIC SQLFunctions, and the
Admin setup seems fairly straightforward, so on the face of it things
look good.

But

I know it can be done under Unidata 5.2 (because I read that PDF as
well) but I am on Universe 10 and there is nothing in the documentation
about it, only drivers for Oracle, Sybase and Informix,none of which we
use.

The downloaded Universe PDF from the IBM site is dated 2002 so it may be
out of date.
 
So the question(s) is/are has anyone actually done this, does anyone
know if the relevant driver ships with Universe 10.2 or have IBM put it
into Unidata but not Universe (surely not) ?

Assistance appreciated

[UV] Let UniAdmin's Performance Monitor capture to a file (UniData may
already have this feature?)

Rather than just catch realtime data on a screen, I'd like to be able to
capture it to a file (preferably a UV hashed file).

- benchmark performance by capturing data while system is stable,
- capture data over extended time period
- schedule jobs to run periodically (cron on Unix)
- be able to review data off-line
- show results to others such as UV support.
- compare stats to see how a system performs under various conditions or
changes.

If it were done 'right' (i.e., how I'd do it) it would be implemented on
the server so data could be captured to a Universe hashed file; or maybe
on the client running UniAdmin, capturing as something easily
manipulated by a spreadsheet.

For example "6THFL-P", "6THFL-L" AND "6THFL-A3" might be the same

Then, create a 'Separator Page' with PCL commands to set the printer to

[HENDERSON MICHAEL MR]

Bob,

Hmmm... "PAM", that rings a bell faintly somewhere.
I'm sure I remember reading a message here ages ago about that issue:
something to do with "PAM" authentication being different from
"etc\passwd" authentication or something like that.
Maybe search the list archives for "PAM"?

Hello Jeff,

Thank you (and all others) for your help.

I've shortened the password to 2 characters.  Still getting the "The
user name provided is incorrect" message.  I don't know if that's just a
generic "login failed" message, or it really *does* mean it couldn't
find this user to validate it.

This is a very frustrating problem as it's obvious that it works for
others - just not me.
Maybe it's a PAM issue.

BTW - Too late.  I have already spent hours researching this problem.

Unclassified RE: [U2] major (?) @var security hole

[HENDERSON MICHAEL MR]

Not on a Windows host, Craig
Both are zero for me on our Dev box (probably because I'm an
Administrator-equivalent)
And System(19) ends up with the 'bogus' @LOGNAME 

System(1301) has got my actual domain login.
According to a program posted here by Richard Sias, System(19) is "Unix
Login" but System(1301) is 'Unknown'.  Anyone care to share what 1301
actually is?


There doesn't seem to be any trace of the original value of @WHO after
Gerry's hack, or after an "IAM".
But since "IAM" is apparently supposed to work that way, I guess we
can't complain too much about that.


Hope this helps

If you need a value that won't change, try SYSTEM(27) or SYSTEM(28).

These return the operating system user Id and effective user Id.

You may need to parse the /etc/passwd file to match to a login name (but
your LOGIN proc could store this too, before anyone has a chance to
fiddle with @ACCOUNT).

We are currently experiencing network issues that are causing user

PORT.STATUS is currently being run by another user, try again later.

which is fine except that we can't identify which user is running the

There were even some web forums set up on u2ug.org

And when the previous supplier of this excellent list (bless you, Clif!)

(fora?), the hootin & hollerin & screams of horror were so loud that the

And the poxy web forum thingies fell into the disuse they so richly

Most of us on the list have work to do, and an email list that 'pushes'

LeRoi,

Your interpretation is mostly right.

UniVerse allows syntax "@ID[1]" instead of "@ID[LEN(@ID),1]" for "the
last character of @ID".
You are using that in some but not other of the formulas.  To simplify a
bit
*  the 2-part file could be "@ID[1]; IF @1 LT 5 THEN 1 ELSE 2", and
*  the 10-part "INTERNAL @ID[1]+1"

For consistency alone, you could use the same syntax for all these types
of distribution:
"@ID[1]; IF NUM(@1) THEN MOD(@1,)+1 ELSE "
Although the use of CONVERT does allow specific numbers to be spread
amongst specific parts E.g. 4-part "@ID[1]; IF NUM(@1) THEN MOD(@1,4)+1
ELSE 2"
Note that this gives a different distribution, though!

And part files start with 1, not 0: your last example is "INTERNAL
"@ID[LEN(@ID),1]+1" - note the '+1' on the end, giving a part number
from (0+1) to (9+1) i.e. 1 to 10

Another way to correct the "" or NULL saved item is to setup a Write
Trigger and if the ID is NULL no write or replace with the person's
logon and date/time  this will also help you find who is causing your
NULL items.
A Trigger program can be set up an most any file and very good this
to ensure history of changes are keep.  If a change is made the Trigger
program can write a copy of the original record into a  -
Time and Date stamp it (User info too).  You May also reformat some data
items too.

Hmm ... In that case it's a bug and I'll report it to IBM as such.

The syntax entry for HELP .S says ".S name [start [end]]"
Note that it's "name" not "[name]" so that name is a mandatory input.
The command parser should therefore not accept no "name".

But I won't be holding my breath for it to be fixed!

I don't believe you can do this.   The "dot" commands are actually 
implemented WITHIN the command line parser which you don't have access
to and there isn't any way to turn it off.  You could set the history
stack to have only a single entry (uvconfig HISTSTK) but it sounds like
you want 
them to use the history stack, but not save.   As I said, it's not
possible.

Sorry, Simon, but I fail to see the relevance of that MSDN article.

Under
"ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2004JUL.1033/dnbda/html/daag.htm#daag_managingdata
baseconnections" in the July 04 MSDN DVD, there is a section that deals
with connection pooling and says
"ADO.NET data providers provide transparent connection pooling, the
exact mechanics of which vary for each provider. This section discusses
connection pooling in relation to: 
The SQL Server .NET Data Provider 
The Oracle .NET Data Provider 
The OLE DB .NET Data Provider 
The ODBC .NET Data Provider "

I was hoping that the UO.NET Developer's Guide would contain similar
information in respect to UO.NET.


The presentation at last year's IBM DB2 Data management conference
included (at slide 21) this feature list
"UniObjects For .NET ...
*  100% Managed Code, written in C#
*  Connection pooling for UO.NET provides good scalability
*  Modeled [sic] after UniObjects For Java with vast improvement
*  Performance monitor for Connection Pooling
*  Standard Logging/Tracing for better troubleshooting"

The UO.NET Developer's Guide addresses the first, third and fifth
points, but does not seem to mention the second and fourth at all.

Hope this clarifies my point.

[HENDERSON MICHAEL MR]

Thanks, Anthony! 

Great stuff, but reading it I'm a little disappointed that there is no
mention of Connection Pooling.  One of the previously advertised
benefits of UO.NET was that it would include a connection pooling
mechanism.  Has this 'fallen off' or is it documented somewhere else?

Any ideas?

I expect that UO.NET will be on the "Clients" CD released with the UD
6.1 Product, so if you're a UD customer you would get it in the normal
way like you get your updates of the UD database software.

I'd guess there would be a new UV Clients CD released with this stuff on
it, too.

And these would presumably get onto the IBM web site whenever they
refresh the PE versions of the products.
Maybe IBM will give those out at the conference in Las Vegas next month?

But then you wouldn't have the opportunity to put your data files and

maximise throughput by spreading I/O.
[ I know it's been a feature of Oracle since about release 8 that you
could separate 'tablespaces' from 'indexspaces' for exactly that reason.
Wonder how they avoid the moving-file problem? ;-) ]

Maybe it's a "don't do that" situation: after all, if you use the

Kevin,

Two things:

1) Set up the UV Login Policy appropriately via UniAdmin - Network
Services / Telnet / Parameters tab, under User Policy check the right
radio button ( for us it's "UV Account", but YMMV)

And

2) Add the users to the UV.LOGINS file - you can do this via UniAdmin
(Network Services / Telnet / Users tab), or if you have some local
security / menu type system that requires them to be loaded into a
application-specific file, then there's no reason why you couldn't
directly update the UV.LOGINS file from a basic program.

RE: [U2] [UV] UniObjects across the internet (Unclassified)

David,

UV 10.1 supports the use of SSL to protect the data flows between client
& server, and according to a post from LeRoy Dreyfuss (in early June,
check the list archives if you need to) UniAdmin 10.1 will help to walk
you through the certificate set-up process.

Alternatively, you could require the users to connect over a VPN, which
could either be a firewall-based product or may be do-able in software
between the actual client PC and UV server - I don't know, I've never
tried that.  Good luck!

Grasping at straws, perhaps, but maybe the transaction logging file is

It seems from the message that "GRTRANS" is a Dynamic (type 30) file.  
Is it splitting heavily?

If your user numbers go up and down a lot, you might want to consider

I'm not sure if 64-bit files are supported properly on as early a release as
9.5, I seem to remember some real horror stories from the "good old days" of
9.5.  They are fine on 10.x releases 
Contrary to some people's opinions, 64-bit files work fine on Windows, but
again, if you're really running NT I'd be a bit worried.
Upgrade time?

The UVCONFIG 64BIT_FILES option defines the _default_ file creation
mechanism.
If it's off (default), you can still create or resize a file as 64-bit with
the 64BIT option
If it's on (which I would NOT recommend), you can still create or resize a
file as 32-bit with the 32BIT option.

This one would truncate and give only the first 10 characters.

A = FMT("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ","L#10")

Here's a subroutine to mimic the INPUT WAITING capability that exists in
Unidata. It has all the functionality including duplicating the behaviour of
the underscore and colon when specifying the maximum string length. For
example, if you want to input three characters for variable THIS, waiting
for 10 seconds, requiring a carriage return to signify input but without a
line feed, and defaulting to the string "zip"; you would code:

CALL INPUTWAIT(THIS, '3_:', '10', 'zip' )
***

Which in Unidata would have been

INPUT THIS,3_: FOR 10 ELSE THIS = 'zip'

So you can save time by getting the code from

I _think_ you'll have to put a "$OPTIONS TIME.MILLISECOND" into every
program unit whose behaviour you want to change (and re-compile of course).

Subject: [U2] [UV] TIME() precision on UV 10.1

I'm working on an upgrade from UV 9.6 to 10.1 and need TIME() to behave as
it used to for backward compatibility.  UV 10.1 is running on RedHat EL 3.0.
I changed TIMEACCURACY to 0 in uvconfig and executed uvregen, but TIME() is
still showing milliseconds instead of whole seconds.  What am I missing?

TIA,
John

Unclassified RE: [U2] Unidata on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise E dition question

[HENDERSON MICHAEL MR]

Sara,

If the one CPU was to be an Intel HyperThreading Xeon / P-4, does that make
it better / worse / no difference?  Did you try that?

Thanks

Mike

Subject: [U2] Unidata on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition question

During our recent experiments with Universe 10.1 on Windows 2003, with a
single processor we did a test with a phantom in a reasonably tight loop.
Not too tight as it was reading and writing to different files.  We expected
this to allow other telnet sessions to be responsive.
 
Our results showed that it was virtually impossible for a new user to login
and the response for existing telnet sessions was very poor.
 
We obtained the Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) and adjusted the
priority of uvsh.exe which was running the phantom processes.  This then
made the system usable by all.  This link may provide the information you
seek http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/downloads/wsrm.mspx
