Re: [U2] gunzip

2006-04-20 Thread Michael Doyle
It seems like the file was corrupted or truncated. Check the file size
and checksum, if possible, and retransmit.

For the record, this command will recover some data from a corrupted
file:

 zcat file > recover

but this won't give you what you need.

RE: [U2] Excel from Unidata

2006-03-17 Thread Michael Doyle
Mr. Angliss:

It seems that there's been some namespace shuffling. To generate binary
excel files, use Spreadsheet::SimpleExcel, documented here:

http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/Spreadsheet-SimpleExcel/Spreadsheet/SimpleExcel.html

For the new-fangled XML format that Microsoft is moving toward, use
Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML, documented here:

But what if we use TWO ampersands?! It's so crazy, it just might work:

cd something && runcommand

In both DOS and Bourne this command will change directory to something
and, if that succeeded, execute runcommand. How you get 'something' to
be '\' in DOS and '/' in UNIX is up to you. Which is to say, I don't
think it's possible.

Afraid of wolves in sheep's clothing, eh? Be careful not to shoot the
pseudo-sheep that keep your system running. Research why these
pseudo-user accounts were created and what they might be used for. Check
now and see if there are any important processes running under the
daemon user id, for example.

Also, research alternative strategies like setting these accounts with
locked passwords and nologin shells. Will this give you the security you
need? These accounts are probably already configured this way.

Re: [U2] A Jar Launching A Jar

2006-02-08 Thread Michael Doyle
So with a java app like this:

class Hello{ 
 public static void main(String args[]){
  System.out.println("Hello World\n"); 
 } 
}

saved to Hello.java and compiled to Hello.class, it seems that the
following application will launch it:

import java.io.*;
public class CmdExec {

public static void main(String argv[]) {

try{

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java Hello");

BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader (
new InputStreamReader( p.getInputStream() )
);

String line;
while( (line = input.readLine()) != null ) {
   System.out.println(line);
}

input.close();
return;
}catch(IOException e){
System.err.println("Hope you're a java developer:");
e.printStackTrace();
}

}//main

}//class CmdExec

I pretty much snarfed this code from
   http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0014.html
fwiw. No EJB or J2EE. No Swing, for that matter, but Swing is just a GUI

Re: [U2] making a .csv file into an .xls file?

2006-01-16 Thread Michael Doyle
The convention, as I understand it, for handling embedded commas in of
csv data is to wrap each datum in double quotes. This cheerfully
introduces the problem of embedded double quotes in of csv data, of
course, and the conventional solution is to substitute two adjacent
double quotes for each double quote. Very easy to generate, but it makes
writing csv parsing routines deplorable. Your parser has to have
1-character of read-ahead to distinguish an embedded double quote from
the end of the cell.

TAB-delimited files do avoid this situation, but bank on your not having
tabs in your data. I am not aware of any conventional method for dealing
with tab-embedded tab-delimited data.

Almost makes XML seem like a good idea.

Re: [U2] making a .csv file into an .xls file?

2006-01-13 Thread Michael Doyle
On UNIX, use Perl. Specifically, use the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and
Text::CSV modules. My csv2xls.pl script is only about 47 lines long.

The Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module was utter garbage a few years ago,
but thanks to the efforts of OpenOffice.org and the obvious benefits of
open source software, the module has improved by leaps and bounds.

On Windows, I can only presume that Visual Basic can generate Excel
spreadsheets.

RE: [U2] System Migration issues

2006-01-12 Thread Michael Doyle
If AIX used \n as a line terminator (in keeping with standard UNIX practice,)
binary vs ascii mode would not be an issue, but according to the ever-accurate
wikipedia, it uses EBCDIC 0x15: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline

Learn something new every day.

The ftp client should be changing the data to network byte order before
transmission. The ftp server should be converting from network byte order to
host byte order after transmission. Again, this should be a non-issue for any
decently cobbled-together network program.

Two possible problems. You ARE transferring them in ftp in binary mode?

And you have run the clean-up tool that corrects the byte order? (I think
that's what Karl is talking about)

You might also find it easier to do a UVBACKUP and then restore that, because
that (I think) gets round all the endian issues and that sort of stuff.

Test your assumption by performing some manner of CRC on the files
before and after transit. If you can perform an md5 checksum on AIX,
Redhat will have a compatible program called md5sum. But realistically,
ftp file transfer should have nil affect on the files.

[U2] UV: Other ways of replicating?

2006-01-11 Thread Michael Doyle
UniVerse users,


Recently, we've been looking at ways of developing a high availability
cluster for our production UniVerse environment. Thanks to
www.linux-ha.org we've been able to install two machines at different
locations (cities twenty miles apart) and if the primary machine drops,
users can log into the same IP address within a few seconds. The problem
we have run into is replicating our data across the two nodes.

The best way would be database replication. Unfortunately, UniVerse
can't replicate the type 1 and type 19 files, which we use extensively.
Further, we cannot use ALTER.TABLE or CLEAR.FILE on replicated files.
(These from the Administrators manual.)

The second option we've looked at is some sort of disk replication. IBM
recommends DRBD for use with DB2. Unfortunately, it seems that this
would not provide referential integrity.

The third option we looked at was a complicated mix of transaction logs
and NFS mounts. Our standby box would be constantly updating itself off
of the transaction logs of the primary. In the event of an outage, the
standby comes up more or less updated and the dead primary can refresh
itself off of the standby's logs when it comes back up.

Does anyone have any experience getting around the shortcomings of
UniVerse's replication?

Thanks,

Thanks for the informative reply. Our homebrew shutdown script reports
zero users logged in just prior to execution of uv.rc stop. It might be

Re: [U2][UV] Aborted Shutdown

2005-12-05 Thread Michael Doyle
Mr. Banker:

Not manually, no. We simply call /etc/rc.d/init.d/uv.rc stop

This problem has only happened twice recently. I don't believe we're
using too many seats or anything. What makes you think licenses?

Thanks,

Mike Doyle

[U2][UV] Aborted Shutdown

2005-12-05 Thread Michael Doyle
UniGurus:

We shutdown UniVerse nightly to perform a full data backup with a simple
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/uv.rc stop" command. Twice in the past week this
process has errored out with:

  Not all UniVerse processes were successfully terminated.
  "1" process(es) still attached to main UniVerse memory segment
  UniVerse has NOT been successfully terminated.
  Aborting shutdown request

Any ideas? RTFM yields nothing. I'm imagining that this might be a
shared-memory related problem.

UniVerse 10.1 running on RHEL3.

Thanks in advance,

Mike Doyle

Binary.
As an UNSIGNED integer, -1 is all 1s.

 



An unsigned negative value, huh?
