[U2] [UV]Corrupted object in global catalog

2012-12-28 Thread bpaige
Greetings, all!

We have recently upgraded to the latest version of our vendor's software, and
in the process have gone from Pick flavored accounts to Ideal flavored
accounts.  This has drastically changed the way programs are cataloged, as we
are now using the global catalog directory (catdir, aka GLOBAL.CATDIR).

We have discovered that some of the object code in the global catalog is
corrupted (for lack of a better term).  It looks like some of the object code
files were somehow truncated.  Since we don't discover this until someone
notices that a program is behaving oddly, or working differently between the
different servers (dev, test, production), and since the date stamp on the
file in the catdir directory is the last time someone ran the program (as
opposed to the time it was actually cataloged), it is impossible to tell if
the object code was 'bad' from the beginning or got corrupted somewhere along
the way.

At this point, we can just recatalog everything.  It would be a royal pain,
but it is possible to do.  That would ensure everything was all good right
now, but doesn't do anything to make sure it stays that way.

Does anyone know if there is a command we can ruin or some other way to
verify object code in the global catalog?  We would much rather monitor this
proactively than wait until a user runs into a mysterious issue that we can't
explain - or worse, runs something that ends up corrupting data because of a
problem with the object code.

Of course the ideal would be to figure out what's corrupting the object code
to begin with - or to be able to determine if it was somehow corrupted in the
initial install and we're just running into the bad pieces now.  Without
being able to monitor the object code and see when/if it gets corrupted
again, though, that's going to be almost impossible.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Brian

Greetings!

 

We have a program that runs in one account, but under certain conditions it
is becoming necessary for that program to execute a command in another
account, and then continue on its merry way doing other things.  One fairly
simplistic example might be that the process might find it necessary to
create a file in another account.

 

We have come up with a number of different ways of accomplishing this, but
all involve a phantom LOGTO of some sort -whether it be through working
with the UV.ACCOUNT file, the LOGIN paragraph, or some combination of the
above.  While this will do what is necessary, there are timing issues to
consider, control and response issues, error checking, etc.  It can be done,
but it's not pretty.

 

Does anyone have a more elegant and efficient way of accomplishing this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Re: [U2] Question about uvbackup dd and uvrestore

2011-04-15 Thread bpaige
The product provided by Ashwood handles this nicely.  On an AIX system, it
pauses the database, performs a JFS2 snapshot (in seconds), releases the
database, then the customizable backup script (we use tar and gzip) backs up
the snapshot.

tar is all very well, but if the database is being used 24/7 it could
easily lead to a corrupt backup.

We used to get that if a user dropped their session and UV wasn't able to

Greetings, all!

We have some new financial folks who think Essbase is the be-all,
end-all of financial reporting.  We're a 100% UV shop, and we really
don't have experience in any type of external reporting functionality
yet.  I have two general questions:

1. Does Essbase integrate with U2?
2. What other packages are out there that would be comparable?

No one has said anything about trying to force us into using Essbase,
but we want to be able to talk intelligently about it when it comes up
in discussions/meetings.  We're going into it with open minds - maybe it
is something we would want to use.  We just don't know enough to know.

I have contacted Oracle to try to get some information, but that was
humorous to say the least.  At this point, they might get back to me in
2-4 business days.  I have also started working with a VAR to see if we
can get a dog and pony just for information gathering purposes.

I figured I'd ask here as well to see if anyone out there has some
real-world info/experience they'd be willing to pass along.

Thanks!!

Re: [U2] 2gig limit sticking into bash shell

2009-07-07 Thread bpaige
What user was assigned to udt when it was installed?  Check that user's
ulimit.

We run UV, and some commands (create-file, SH -c, etc.) run as the user
assigned to UV during the install, not as the user that is actually logged
in.  Shelling out with sh gives you your own environment variables, but
running a temporary shell command from TCL is done with the UV user's
environment variables.  I would assume udt would work with the same type of
scenario.

[U2] Input from a TTY on an AIX box

2009-06-10 Thread bpaige
Howdy all!

 

We're doing a proof of concept where we're connecting a serial scanner to a
wireless termserver and we want to get the input from the scanner into our
U2-based software.

 

We've got the tty defined and we can open the port.  The stickler is in
writing a routine (in BASIC preferably, but unix script would be okay too)
that will monitor the open tty and input any data whenever something is
scanned at the scanner.

 

Has anyone done anything similar that could point me in a direction?

 

Thanks!!

Brian

[U2] User count not correct

2009-03-04 Thread bpaige
Good day everyone!

I have a customer running U2 on W2K.

They are licensed for 29 users.  They cannot log in because it is acting like
it's at the limit.  If I do a LISTU, it shows 15 users logged in.  If I run
the USERS command (or CRT SYSTEM(35)), it says there are 29 users logged in.

This occurred after a reboot.

How do I clean this up?

Thanks!

RE: [U2] Performance monitoring

In addition to topas, IBM offers a monitoring tool called nmon, which is
downloadable off their site (somewhere).  I find that I use the two in
combination with each other, depending on what I'm looking for.

If you haven't already, you might want to take a look at the topas command.
It'll give you an overall view of what's going on with the system, including
per/processor utilization, per/process information, and disk utilization
information.  The h key while in the program provides a bit more useful
information on toggling between screens and what it'll do than does the man

We run an IBM P570 with 12 processors running Universe 10.2.4, average of 400
users against at EMC DMX4500 disk array.  20 file systems with each about
45gb, 60-80% utilized striped across 94 disks.

We do tons of batch processing at night and our rate of data change is about
175GB an hour at night.  We're running into some performance issues, jobs
taking much longer, keyboard response slow, editing single records taking a
long time, etc. and want to really dive in to see what's going on.  We've
looked at file sizing and have done a fair amount of resizing, but to little
avail.

Does anyone have any tools, or know of any tools, similar to Oracle, that
can really give me insight into what's happening with a given user session
at any time?  I know I can do port.status and find the address in the code
and see what's being executed at that time, but I want something more that
will show memory utilization and other stats like that.

Any help would be appreciated.

RE: [U2] User count not correct

No.  There are no complicated users or processes.  They're all straight UV
Telnet sessions.

Another reboot of the server resolved the issue, but now I'm curious if
anyone knows where the current count of users is stored - and if there's any
way to clean it up without having to go through a reboot.

RE: [U2] Very slow (30min plus) to exit universe..

2008-05-27 Thread bpaige
If you're unix based, this may help

We ran into that issue a couple times.  In our case, it had to do with system
performance and priorities.  If something else (or multiple something elses)
is running that is consuming the system resources, cleanup will be shifted
to the lowest priority possible - which means it's going to wait until
everything else is done before it gets its timeslice.  This has caused us to
see logoff times in the ranges you're mentioning.

Once we determined that we had runaway processes and cleaned them up, logoffs
were handled in more normal timeframes.

Hi,

We are having problems with our uniVerse system, uo stops working properly,
and sessions take forever to exit (can take 30min-1Hour).

I suspect this slow wrap-up is also causing the uniobjects issues (taking
time to drop sessions here as well).

I've been thinking log files somewhere (a reboot improves things but not
totally??), cleared wtmp yesterday with no change. Interestingly the problem
has occurred the past 3 Mondays (don't ask me what we're running differently
on Mondays?!).

Any help / suggestions much appreciated.

[U2] Spooler hold entry number

2008-04-22 Thread bpaige
Hello all!

I see that U2 gets the next hold entry number from an item in the DICT of
ANPHOLD called NEXT.HOLD.  It seems to automatically roll over at  - it
won't go to 5 digits.  Although we use the BANNER UNIQUE option on the SETPTR
command so that the actual ID of the print job also includes the user,
account, date, time, etc., the users themselves only see the entry number
when the spooler list is presented to them (long story).  Because we could
generate quite a few print jobs in a day, and because jobs on hold can be
kept for a little while, we're running into some overlap.

Does anyone know if (and then where) I can change the limit before the hold
entry rolls?

Thanks!
Brian

RE: [U2] Type ahead buffer overflow

2008-02-25 Thread bpaige
Is it losing data at the end, or dropping characters in the middle?  If the
latter, check your emulation software and see if you can either slow down the
data transfer rate, or insert pauses every so often.  I think ViaDuct has an
options, for example, for the data transmit rate (in it's communications
setup) as well as a setting to pause after a user-defined number of
characters in its file transfer setup.  I have found the data transmit rate
setting to be very useful back when I used to cut-and-paste programs from
Windows to UV.

Subject: [U2] Type ahead buffer overflow

Or something like that.

We have a client that uses a paste from Windows into an input statement,
within a UniBasic program, to enter data.  The string get quite large and in
the transmission from VMS to Unix AIX 5.2 running UniData 7.10 we are losing
data.   We have played with the terminal emulator as much as possible, but
we still lose data coming from Windows into UniData.  We have set the sty to
utilize xon/xoff, but still we lose data.

 

Is there a way to increase the type ahead buffer so we won't overrun it.
The data string could contain multiple pages.

 

Or does anyone have a solution other then changing terminal emulators, that
is out of the question at this installation.

 

Thanks

RE: [U2] UV phantoms

2008-02-05 Thread bpaige
If you're on an unix system, the individual records in PH are unix files.
There's a unix command (fuser, I think) that will tell you if a process still
has the file open or not.  If the Phantom is still running, it'll still own
the file and fuser will list the PID number of that process.  If the Phantom
is finished, it won't return a PID and you know the PH record can be
deleted whenever you no longer need it.

I don't know if there's an equivalent way of doing this on a Windows-based
system.

I'm trying to copy UniVerse files (all types) from one computer to another

because they are in use.  They are large files, between 4 and 22 gigs, some
hashed, some dynamic, some directories.

I tried to suspend UniVerse and then copy one file or directory, then
unsuspend, but that hasn't helped.

I am wondering if I need to pause a minute or so between the suspend (uv

finish all the current writes and then pause?

We have a similar scenario on UV/AIX.  Our unix tech was actually a bit more

JFS/JFS2 logs.  If they're isolated to a different logical partition, the

Me: Oh - we're not on Oracle.

My answer to Which is better would be it depends.

If you're looking for run-time performance and disk is not an issue, go with
the first.  Although having duplicate data leaves a bad taste in most of our
mouths, the purpose of the computer is to do the grunt work for us.
Sometimes elegance has to take a back seat.

If disk space and records sizes are more important, the latter is a better
answer.

The issue for me is that I am using the list of employees within a program -
so Virtual Dictionaries are not an option - displaying the data.  I
certainly don't want to sort it on use each time, which means I need to do
an insert BY AL -- but in order to do that I have to have the list ready
on read, but I insert names into the list one at a time -- hence I throught
I would have to maintain two attributes -- one 'as keyed' and one in 'sort
case' -- my other choice is to UPCASE the 'as keyed' each time I have to do
an insert.

I guess that's my question:

Which is better

Write a record with two sets of data, one 'as typed' one strictly for
sorting, so that on the next insert, I just create a sort version of the new
name, and insert it in both lists. The downside here is the record is
larger.
OR
Use UPCASE on each need to insert to build the 'insert array' as needed,
find the insert position in that array, then insert the 'AsTyped'.  The
downside to me was having to UPCASE each time an insert is needed. 

I'm trying to figure out the lesser of the evils!

I need to 'present' them correctly sorted, but show the data 'as it is'

The record currently contains a MV list of the names 'as is' -- there could

Subject: [U2] [ud] Question on Alpha Sorting...

I have a need to sort people by LastName,FirstName.

The issue is that we 'accept' data from lots of sources, some that are
ProperCapped, some that are all lower, AND SOME THAT ARE ALL UPPER.

I need to 'present' them correctly sorted, but show the data 'as it is'

The record currently contains a MV list of the names 'as is' -- there could
500 names in the list.

My way of handing it (now) is to open a New attribute that I put a 'ALL
CAPS' version of the Name into, and then each insert, I so a LOCATE BY 'AL'
into the new attribute, and insert the 'SORTNAME' into the new attribute,
and the 'as TyPed NAme' as always - just now, we're not using the 'as typed'
for the sort.

My issue ... I've doubled the data being stored in order to accomplish this!
Is there a more elegant, logical way to handle this issue besides having a
'SortName' attribute and an 'AsTyped' attribute in the record?

Thanks for any thoughts for this Friday afternoon mind-tease!  (Ah ... I

RE: [U2] Printing Printer controls from Universe

2007-08-10 Thread bpaige
If you're using a pass-through slave function, there are two possibilities
I've seen for solutions:

1.  Your emulation is 'converting' the escape to its ASCII equivalent.  If
so, there is usually a setting for that.
2.  Try using CRT instead of PRINT.

RE: [U2] RE: Unidata Printing Question

2007-07-13 Thread bpaige
You may or may not have things set up the same, but when this happens on our
system, the solutions are:

1.  font size - the PCL font size (or pitch or whatever it's called on that
specific model of printer) needs to be set to match all the other printers
2.  page breaks - the unix page length (defined in the unix printer queue
setup) is different from the printer page length - in this case, less.  They
should be equal. (this assumes you're running on unix)

Now, if you're controlling the font size within your programs or drivers, the
driver you're using for this printer should match the driver you're using for
the other printers (which may not necessarily be the driver that matches the
model of this printer).  For example, for much of our PCL code, we always
tell AIX that our printers are HP LJ3's even if they're 4200's.  The AIX
driver for the LJ3 works the best with our code (or vice-versa, depending on
how you want to look at it).

RE: [U2] UV install - internal vs. external

Thanks to all that replied!

Licensing isn't an issue.  If we need to reconfigure our licensing scheme
and/or purchase more licenses, we will.

My larger concern is any of those extraneous files out in the wonderful world
of unix.  Doing a central install doesn't do us much good if there are files
outside of the install directory that would need to be constantly maintained
anyway.  Also, we'd need to know what they all are so that they can be set up
on any failover server(s).

If anyone knows of any that haven't already been mentioned in this thread,
please let me know.

Thanks!

[U2] UV install - internal vs. external

2007-07-06 Thread bpaige
As part of our DR configuration, our database is loaded on an external RAID
array.  We have the ability, should one server crash, to present the disks to
other servers and be back up and running.
 
The question has arisen as to
whether we should do the same with UV itself.
Currently, it is loaded on an
internal drive, and therefore has to be loaded
on any failover machine.  If
we load it on an external drive, we would be
able to present that disk to a
failover machine along with the database.
This would also allow us to only
have to do UV maintenance updates, mods,
etc.) in one place and not have to
worry about keeping multiple servers in
synch.
 
The down side is that it
appears that when UV installs, it doesn't put
EVERYTHING into /usr/ibm/uv (or
whatever directory you choose for the
install).  For example, the uv.rc
script gets installed into /etc, and the
/etc/inittab file is modified to
call it.  Our concern is that there are
other pieces strewn throughout unix
that would be missing if we didn't
actually do the install on every server.
Does anyone know if there are other pieces of UV that don't go into the
install directory - or if this is the only one?
 
Thanks!
Brian

UVbackup can be used to verify UniVerse hashed files...in this example,
to the /dev/null device. Hence, it is a 'dummy backup' too. Simply cd
to the directory that contains your UV hashed files and then...

find . -print | ${UVBIN}/uvbackup -f -l ${FILESYSTEM} -s ${LOG} -t
/dev/null -v -

Of course, you need to check the output for the line with UniVerse
files and check it says 0 corrupted (depending on your UV release,
etc, etc).

RE: [AD] [U2] Basic developments reverse engineering tool ?

2007-06-29 Thread bpaige
Just to play devil's advocate, there ARE good reasons for doing the code that
way:

1.  The same program can be used for processing live and historical data if
they're in different files.  Just create two procs and pass live files in one
and historical files in the other.
2.  The same program can be used for other file sets - assuming it's a
generic routine.
3.  Filenames can be changed without having to recompile the program.
Although it's a little safer in U2, recompiling code out from under a user
isn't a good thing in most flavors of Pick - unless you enjoy sending them to
a RIF error.

Again, I'm not saying there aren't better ways to do it, but there are legit
reasons for this type of code - and who knows how long ago the code was
written too.

where xxx is whatever you're trying to run as a phantom.  This works in unix,
but I'm not 100% sure if it'll work in DOS.

But this will still consume a license upon entry until the phantom is
issued. I thought there used to be a way to phantom directly, no??

The best way to do that is to build a paragraph or sentence that kicks off
the phantom then run it from the dos prompt.
Example:
The paragraph in the VOC file would be:
TEST.PARA
0001: PA
0002: PHANTOM TEST.PROGRAM
0003: Q

From the DOS prompt change to the Universe account and start the
phantom:

 cd \testaccount
 \ibm\uv\bin\uv test.para

RE: [U2] VMS Migration

2007-06-22 Thread bpaige
There is a setting (in AIX 5.3 at least) to allow for files larger than 2 GB.
It's one of the tunable kernel parameters.

Why mess with tar, though?  If VMS allows (and I don't know if it does or
not) why not either NFS mount a drive and do copies - or use ftp?  As long as
it's an internal network, it should move quickly.

Tom,

In AIX 5.1, tar won't work on files larger than 2 GB:
The tar command is not enabled for files greater than 2 Gig in size due to
limitations imposed by XPG/4 and POSIX.2 standards
From the AIX 5.1 Command Reference manual...

Regards,

We are migrating to AIX 5.1 with UniData 7.1.8  We seem to be having

RE: [U2] _PH_ ID

2007-06-21 Thread bpaige
If the HI program has been cataloged, though, you can do

PHANTOM HI

And the first _ field of the id would then be HI instead of RUN.

You can then use the program name to find the ID in the PH file.

RE: [U2] Can't get current working directory. ?

Jon,
The fact that you can get things to work as root, but not as other users,
sounds like a permissions problem somewhere out in unix.

Subject: [U2] Can't get current working directory. ?

Hi all,

Earlier this week I set out to replace a test account with a fresh 
copy of the live account (Unidata 6.1 on AIX 5.1).  The Live account 
had grown more then I had anticipated and I found myself with a 
max'ed out /test file system.  While preparing to restore from 
tape, we found we had a bad disc.  We had another disc from a 
decommissioned box, created a new /test file system, and restored 
from tape there.  The problem is I can not get to the colon prompt 
unless I'm logged in as root.  I tried stripping the LOGIN paragraph 
down to just a couple of UDT.OPTIONS commands along with a DISPLAY 
statement so I can tell if the LOGIN paragraph was even run.


464 
datateludt
 
/test/coltest 

Can't get current working directory.

It did not run the LOGIN paragraph???

We're not sure what else to look at.  The system was rebooted this 
morning.  The startud logs look fine.  Looks like all permissions 
were preserved.

Any suggestions?

[U2] RE:

2007-06-20 Thread bpaige
HASH.HELP has never guaranteed a prime number.  You'll note their wording -
it's not a recommended modulo, it's the smallest you should make it.

I was told by the uniVerse folks (back when it was Vmark, so that tells you
how long ago it was) that since not all of the hashing algorithms required
prime numbers to be efficient, HASH.HELP wouldn't always recommend a minimum
modulo that was prime.

Why it would recommend two different types, I don't know.  The only thing I
can think of is that they're running two different types of analysis - one
just a general overview and one a more detailed run.  That's just a guess,
though.

of 10.

I then ran HASH.HELP.DETAIL on the same file and got 80021, 4, and 18

In this second case the modulus is a prime number. No changes were being

The other 'fun' you'll have is if they have serial printers.  If memory
serves, you'd have to convert them over to termservers if you go the Windows
route so that they have network addresses (though my memory has been known to

 Dave Taylor did a wonderful job explaining the difference in porting
 UV from NIX to NT and many of the things that should influence the
 choice of base platforms.

 As someone who is porting from UV from AIX to Linux, I will add even
 NIX to different NIX has its challenges in the area of printing.
 There are lots of little variances between types of Unix that make
 the process less than straight forward.

 I hope any attempting to do a migration gets assistance from someone
 who has done the same migration. It will save a lot of pain and money.

 Thanks again Dave.
