Re: [U2] Hypothetical question about switching server frontends to SAN w/o reinstalling Universe
Still Redhat yep, but in this case it was actually a downgrade to AS 3.2 from AS 3.5 as that's what I had available for testing, as well as 32 vs 64 bit. I had to wipe that system for other purposes already, so unfortunately I can't check the specific kernel et al versions we were running on. Mike Pflugfelder wrote: So the OS between the two servers is still RedHat, just the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit, correct? Are they the same release, same glibc, same kernel? It doesn't surprise me that it would work as Universe on RedHat is 32 bit, not 64, but I wanted to get more details if possible.

[U2] Hypothetical question about switching server frontends to SAN w/o reinstalling Universe
Hola all - We've got our UniVerse installation (RH AS 3.5, U2 10.1.4) on a SAN partition, /usr/ibm is mounted entirely from there and that's where everything was installed to. On a hardware testing server, I had the opportunity to test out pointing an entirely different front-end system to that partition (well, a copy of it for testing) to see if U2 would come up, and it did indeed after I: 1) copied uv.rc, S999uv.rc, .uvhome & .unishared over to the new system 2) linked .uvlibs appropriately 3) restore spconfig & the whole spool directory from a backup 4) added the RPC port into /etc/services Is there anything I missed here that would be helpful and/or necessary to proper functioning? I'm looking at this as an extreme disaster recovery scenario possibility, but theoretically it could substantially ease upgrading the system as well (although ours is pretty recent so this likely wouldn't come up for some time) with minimal downtime. Thoughts/comments? Would OS differences matter at all here, i.e. if one was RH 3.5 64 bit and the next system coming up was 32 bit, or a jump from the 2.4 kernel to the 2.6 kernel (presuming the release of U2 supported the 2.6 kernel)? Thanks very much for any input. -- Peter Ivanick Web Services and Instructional Technologies School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 215.573.2306Fax: 215.573.8777 http://www.vet.upenn.edu/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Anyone here using Cold Fusion to access UniVerse?
Hi Allen - I'm having problems with CFMX7 and UV/ODBC also and not having much luck. (UVpe 10.1) *Very* well known issue, unfortunately, no workarounds that I'm aware of, see the ff. thread @ the CF forums: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid=454501&forumid=1 Upshot is, no one seems to be able to get it to work. Very disappointing, and I don't know who to blame, but Macromedia seems the likeliest culprit. I was able to work around the issue by using UVSH to go directly into UV from the tag. It works really well but then you are no longer using ODBC/SQL and is highly proprietary. One of the best things about it, is that it releases your UV login once the query finishes and returns to CF. I was very surprised at just how fast this was but did not like the non-standard approach. Don't know how it would work on a large scale application however. My guess is very fast and very flexible. Interesting, are they running off the same machine, presumably? Another possible solution is to use FusionWare's eTools ODBC driver. I think this is the old Liberty/ODBC driver and server. I really like the product when I used it, but am looking for the NO cost solution at least while prototyping. We're not running the UV system on Windows, unfortunately, but these do look interesting. Ultimately, we're going to go the web services route so an additional investment likely not likely for us. If you could share your CF connectivity parameters for UV/JDBC, I would appreciate it. I've not played with that yet. (Just another tasty ingredient in the soup!) Yup, this was a hard one for me to get, I was following some bad advice posted in the cf forums, here's what works for me in the datasource setup: CF Data Source Name uvjdbcvhup JDBC URLjdbc:ibm-u2://192.168.100.99:31438/HS.SERVICE Driver Classcom.ibm.u2.jdbc.UniJDBCDriver Driver NameUniJDBCDriver User Name(valid user) Password(valid user password) where HS.SERVICE is the name of the UV account that the user logs into, in our case, HS.SERVICE The other thing is to make sure that your classpath in the CF Java VM settins poitns to the two IBVM deliverd files, unijdbc.jar & asjava.zip ; in my case the classpath looks like: C:\IBM\UniDK\jdbc\lib\unijdbc.jar,C:\IBM\UniDK\uojsdk\lib\asjava.zip The webservices idea is a great way to go, but requires significant development. Once I get this site up and running, webservices will be next. Us too, after JDBC.

Re: [U2] Anyone here using Cold Fusion to access UniVerse?
Thanks Tony, and indeed several people have suggested that we bypass the odbc/jdbc issue altogether & we'll likely be looking to do that, although we aren't currently exposing any web services (just got upgraded to 10.1.4 last month); in this case we've got a rather severe time/resource constraint but do need to upgarde CF from 5.1 to CFMX 7, which doesn't handle ODBC with UniVerse at all, and no help from Macromedia in the offing, so JDBC is our best bet for the timeframe. Many thanks for the help. Tony Gravagno wrote: I'm not sure about your architecture, but just to open some possibilities... I used CF years ago connect into a back end application using CFHTTP queries rather than ODBC. If you're already exposing U2 business rules as a Web Service then using CF to generate the UI becomes a no brainer. If not, well, that's one of the benefits of modularization and exposing code as UI-independent rules, which is after all what Stored Procedures are all about.

Kind of an open ended question here, I have a few issues I'm curious about particularly in regards to jdbc issues, but presumably there aren't many CF users here so I'd rather not clog up the list. If anyone has any general experience with the two, and willing to answer a couple of vague questions I'd apprecaite it. One of the vague questions, incidentally, is whther you find you need to have your cfquery against the UV datasource all on a single line, or if you're able to format it more meaningfully.

[U2] IBM ODBC vs Ardent ODBC driver
Hola all - We've got a DTS in MS SQL Server 7 which pulls all 200k+ records out of a table from UniVerse 9.6 through the Ardent driver, weekly, to put it into a SQL Server table for easier access from some of our web apps. Works great, it's a relatively simple select of 8 fields. Same DTS running on the same SQL server system going against 10.1.4 & the IBM UniVerse driver bails at about 40k+ records, repeatedly; if I run it through MSquery I get an error that it can't allocate enough memory, too many rows, but hell, the Ardent driver handles it fine, can the IBM driver really have gone backwards here? I know the opinion of the ODBC option here generally isn't very good, and we're looking at/probably going to have to write a stored procedure to page through the records 10k at a time or so, but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this & whther there's a simple option I'm missing in transitioning to the new driver.

Resolution: [U2] Again with Setting a Network Printer in Linux
And this is exactly it, and extreme thanks to all who helped out, and especially to Jerry Banker who had the correct answer pretty much right off the bat although the control character issues confused me into thinking it was something else. What was happening was a conflation of events: I could easily get the stairstepping issue to go away when using a proper printer driver, but the printer did not then interpret the printer control codes properly. When using RAW devices/no drivers, the printer control graphics & bolded text, etc, printed properly but no text because it was stairstepping right off the page. However, we were additionally led astray because converting the captured PCL output to PDF produced the same thing, i.e. the graphics but no text. Another hitch in my gitalong was that I had assumed that setting the CR Mode to : Convert LF to CR/LF would take care of the issue, but Joel Yates @ IBM tells me that so long as you're using /dev/null & not an actual device, this setting has no effect. Adding this: perl -ne 'chop; print $_,"\r\n"' | lp -dPRINTER to our printer driver works a treat; Joel pointed me at lponlcr & xtod, neither of which exist under the standard linux distros that I can find (still looking for equivalents), which reinforces Wol's point. If anyone knows of equivalencies, give a shout. Again, many, many thanks to everybody here, I'm a happy sysadmin again. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Peter, As the lp concept of printing is to temporarily capture a file (frequently to the hard drive) as it is generated by an application, and then send it to a defined destination once the file is completely created, it is possible for system issues (such as number of open files) to impede the proper creation of the file to be printed. Don't forget also, that modern Unix (and linux especially) seems to assume that all printers are postscript. That really cheeses me off, in that it's a right pain if you actually want to control the printer yourself for some reason (like in this case, sending HP control sequences to an HP printer!) It's pretty much a certainty that, by default, this print job is being spooled throught ghostscript. Which will detect it is a text file, and wrap it in the necessary postscript code, fooling the printer into treating it as postscript (if it's a postscript printer) or ghostscript will mangle it itself (if it's not a postscript printer). To my mind, modern linux printing is one of the worst bits of linux. It tries to force you to use CUPS (totally ignoring the linux mantra of "choice"); while CUPS, even by the standard of Unix, is exceptionally user-vicious. Just read ESR's "Aunt Tilley" diatribe about CUPS ... My worst experience is where I tried to connect to a network printer. I wanted to tell it where the printer was, so I told it to NOT do a network scan. Next thing I knew, the configuration utility had started (uninteruptably) scanning the network looking for printers ...

[U2] customized PCL out (was Again with Setting a Network Printer in Linux)
Ok, we've tracked this down further -- the forms which are having trouble printing are using two subroutines my programmer's made (and used successfully in lots of OS scenarios excepting Linux) which 1) define a lot of printer control codes such as: ESC = CHAR(27) LANDS = ESC:"&l1O" PORTR = ESC:"&l0O" COURR = ESC:"(8U" ;* & LINE PRINTER TMSRM = ESC:"(0U" ;* & HELV BOLD M = ESC:"(10U" ;*UNK HALFL = ESC:"=" FFPRM = ESC:"Z" ;** FORM FEED PROMPT and 2) draw the boxes we were seeing, respectively. When I capture the output stuck in the lp queue it turns out to be PCL, which we can turn into a PDF with a converter, and which appears the same way as I was able to get printout, i.e. boxes but not the accompanying text. Alternatively, if I use enscript rather than lp in the driver, I can get the text output with all the PCL codes inline. I know wew're getting pretty site specific here but has anyone run into this previously? How do you typically handle laserjet output where you need some minimal graphics, is this customized set of printer codes still sensible & I just need to figure out how to get the printer to interpret them correctly & fire off the resulting output?

Re: [U2] Again with Setting a Network Printer in Linux
Hola all - Some more details might help. Are you in Universe ? Yes, that's where it's failing. From the TCL prompt, SP-ASSIGN F24 & the printing output seems to work fine, but from within the programs, it's not so good. If so, what does your record for the printer look like in the &DEVICE& file ? | | Printer Name: pr24Baud Rate : 9600 | | Pathname? /dev/null Parity: NONE | | Driver : /usr/spool/uv/pr.PR24 CR Mode : None | | Form: 24 Tab Expansion : OFF | | Flow control: FF Delay : No formfeed | | Enable Printing : Y LF Delay : None | | Enable Queuing : Y Word Length : 8 | | Lock file 1 : PR24 | | Lock file 2 : | | Other Options : LF to CR/LF | > What does your 'driver' look like ? lp -dVHP1101PRT1 (works for most other printers/forms, only 24 & 25 are giving us problems) Exactly what kind of printer is it that you are using ? Well we've tried it on a couple, HP LJ 8150 is the 'true' destination, and an HP LJ 4200 we're using for testing, which again work fine for most other print jobs, just not (so far) for these particular forms. I've been able to replicate this on another test system as well. Inside the code, the programmer is using SETPTR as oppposed to SP-ASSIGN as in: ED MD SETF24 0001: PQ 0002: HSETPTR 0,80,59,0,0,1,FORM 24,NOHEAD,BRIEF 0003: P Same code works aces on the current uv 9.6 on Irix 6.5 system against the same printer, bails entirely on the uv 10.1.4 / RH 3.5 systems.

Re: [U2] Creating AIX Users for UniVerse
Webmin (http://www.webmin.com) allows you to upload list of users with the various fields prepopulated, including passwords - supports AIX 4.2 , 4.3 , 5.0 , 5.1 , 5.2. If you don't want to use Webmin, it's all perl scripts & you can figure out the parts you want from the modules that are already in place. But we've found Webmin to be a good, reliable & generally safe tool, very few (albeit some) security fixes have come along in the 3 years we've been using it.

In reviewing the AIX documentation, I cannot find a way around setting the password that is not interactive. In addition, the documentation states that other users can be promoted to superuser. Has anyone done this for the purpose of creating users. Are there any disadvantages to doing this?

Re: [U2] Is replication across versions a possibility?
Replication was incredibly slow before version 10 and had a large impact on file updates. That wouldn't be too bad for our case here when it's a one off, it'd *have* to be faster than plugging the backups over the small pipe we've got, but good to know. We have replication running between Windows and Linux versions in test without problems. Due to limited downtime windows we are planning to switch systems over two weekends with replication running in between. Many thanks for your input, I would love to hear how well that works for you when you go with it -- we're looking atour cutover being sometime in May so I have a goodly amount of time to experiment. -- Peter Ivanick Sr. Programmer/Analyst School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 215.573.2306Fax: 215.573.8777 http://www.vet.upenn.edu/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Is replication across versions a possibility?
That's the way we're currently testing it, uvbackup & uvrestore, but it adds some additional delays in that the IRIX system is configured rather, um, funkily, and those bits need to be recreated after the system is in place on the new box. Also, unfortunately, we've got a good bit of data & programming (about 6 GB total although I assume quite a lot of it is cruft, but we're unlikely to do any massive cleanup before the transfer) and only a single 10mb NIC in the IRIX box, so I'm exploring options for anything to goose the process even a little. Any particular reason you're leery of replicating, is it this particular suituation or replication in general? Rsync, that's an interesting idea I hadn't thought of, thanks very much for your input, I'll definitely be trying that out shortly. Don Kibbey wrote: 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. -- Peter Ivanick Sr. Programmer/Analyst School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 215.573.2306Fax: 215.573.8777 http://www.vet.upenn.edu/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
[U2] Is replication across versions a possibility?
Hola - We've got a 9.5 system running on Irix that we're going to be upgrading to 10.1.4 running on Linux on new hardware, and it strikes me that replication might be a good way to minimize system downtime while we do the upgrade. Any idea whether there would be any additional hitches in doing replication across platforms & versions? We would of course have fnuxied and otherwise modified the files prior to the replication being set to go. Any thoughts (or alternative strategies to minimize system downtime during an upgrade) would be greatly appreciated. -- Peter Ivanick Sr. Programmer/Analyst School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 215.573.2306Fax: 215.573.8777 http://www.vet.upenn.edu/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] Has anyone played with/tested UniVerse 10+ under Solaris 10
I just realized that I've been trying to load up a linux x86 version of Universe onto a SPARC box, of course the binaries are going to fail... argh. Well so far at least not vsum, which is necessary for the uv.load script to work; trying to execute it manually gives me "cannot execute" and all the checksumming fails. If I pass uv.load the -nochecksum argument, I fail on uvregen & DBsetup with the same 'cannot execute' error, although if I try them at the command prompt I get 'invalid argument' instead.

Re: [U2] Has anyone played with/tested UniVerse 10+ under Solaris 10
Thank you, that's excellent information; did you ever try to find out whether IBM will be releasing binaries comipled against more recent OS versions? In our case, high performance & clock speed is likely not a make or break issue, we have a relatively small pool of concurrent users (40-50 at most) and a fairly simple billing and nascent medical records system that doesn't tax the current system tremendously, it's mostly in terms of networking to external applications servers that has caused our desire to upgrade -- that and the last time we had to get a spare part we found what may be the last one in the US on eBay. Has anyone else got any performance on Solaris issues that might be relevant? I plan on testing out the Linux version on Solaris 10 unless/until we get Solaris binaries, in which case I'll try to do some comparison load lifting, that's a good point. Thanks very much for the input, greatly appreciate the assist. Adrian Matthews wrote: We've been through a very similar exercise recently (as you've probably guessed) and we came down to using IBMx445 servers with RHEL AS 3. As the clock speed of the SPARC is relatively low compared to a Xeon MP we found that combination outperformed the Sun (and was a lot cheaper once a large disk array was added in). There was nothing that Sun could do to improve the performance due to Universe being compiled against a very old solaris (7) version. You can probably imagine what the Sun engineers reaction to that was! He wasn't very complimentary about IBM.
