Re: [U2] U2 - Universe - Sage MAS90 - Experiences?
We use MAS90, but only for a small portion of our business and there's no real time connection between it and our UD app. We just do a nightly feed of GL data. The standard product does use ProvideX. I know there has been a SQL option but I think it was discontinued. Sage (the provdier) only works through VARs, so you'd need to track one down if you decide you can't roll your own. I've heard good things about Blythe consulting. I could talk more off-line if you'd like, but I don't know that I can offer much. Brad.

[U2] Rocket technote UDT-4359 - udadmin
Can someone confirm/clarify this statement from this recent technote: "UniAdmin and the Extensible Administration Tool (XAdmin) will start udadmin_server when a user connects to a UniData server and will stop it when the user disconnects. However, it is possible to spawn the udadmin_server outside of UniAdmin and XAdmin." I thought I understood what udamin did, but now I'm not so sure.

[U2] Stripping line breaks from InfoTrieve output
I'm guessing it doesn't matter if this is UD or UV, but I have UD7.1 under AIX. We have a request to extract some data to what I call a tape file. The data is fixed length and there are no line breaks. Just one continuous stream of data. My thought is that this could be accomplished with an InfoTrieve using 'list TO' as in list AGREEMENT F1 F2 TO file.txt There is of course more to it than this, but if I can strip out whatever creates the line break, I think I can do what I need. So my question to the group is: what character(s) are create the new line when ouptutted from an InfoTrieve? Has anyone done this before? I'm thinking I'd used tr or sed to clean things up.

Re: [U2] Universe and stripped drives
I am not a disk guy, but striping has provided significant performance gains for. Separating the busiest files from everything else can also help a lot; it keeps your busiest files from dragging down the rest of the system/account. If you're on *nix, you can do some very creative things like isolating busy files to a subset of disks and then mounting inside your main account(s). This way it looks to uv like the files are all in one location, but the O/S accesses them separately from everything else in the account. This doesn't fully resolve performance hits due to big complex queries on big complex files, but it can help isolate them so the rest of the world doesn't care. hth, Brad. From: George Gallen To: U2 Users List Date: 04/28/2010 11:47 AM Subject: [U2] Universe and stripped drives Sent by: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org We are in the process of upgrading our system. When we setup our current system, it was suggested we strip our data drives (5) into one, instead of having 5 separate drives, so it could pull more data at once. The new system will have 6 drives available for striping We were going to have 6 drives striped into one, which would be partitioned into our data areas the thought being it would be faster disk access if it's pulling from all 6 drives at once. BUT...all of the partitions are on that one striped drive. Would it be better to have (2) sets of 3 drives striped into one, and setup the two most used accounts on each of those drives, so now it's only pulling data from 3 drives, but there could be less competition between the two accounts, since they are pulling from separate drives? Anyone played with this at all? FYI, each drive is mirrored as well, so if there is a drive failure, data loss is protected, if there was a drive failure on both the main and mirror (same drive) then with the 6 drive strip, we stand to potentially lose more data, than if there were 2 sets of 3 striped. But...since we have full daily backups, and potentially, considering a second backup during the day, the amount of data loss would be minimalso I'm putting that off the table for now in determining whether to go with a 3 or 6 stripe.

[U2] Sending interrupt to UniBasic program
All, I'm hoping the bit-heads in the group can help me out with this one. It's kind of difficult to explain, but I'll try my best. My apologies for any lack of clarity. What we're trying to do is automate a third-party batch process. The automation piece is working well. But there's one requirement that's proving problematic, with two key requirements at play. First, batch process must run automagically and completely unattended. Second, operators must have the option to interact directly with the automated batch for trouble-shooting purposes. The second requirement is what's presenting the challenge. Since we need to be able to directly interact with the batch process, we can't use a phantom, since any keyboard I/O causes a phantom to terminate. The solution we chose was to run everything under GNU Screen. If you aren't familiar with Screen, here's a one sentence description from our friends at GNU -- "Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells." You can check http://www.gnu.org/software/screen for more info. I think of Screen as a terminal emulator that runs locally on the server. So if you start screen and then launch UniData from within your screen session, you are safe if the connection from your workstation is dropped; everything continues to run on the server. You just need to issue a command to reconnect to your screen session and you're back in business. Very handy tool. If the batch runs with no issues, this works well. But if we need to diagnose a run-time issue, e.g. a process appears to be hung, we need to do things like send ctrl-c to break the current program. This is where the problem comes in. Screen seems to be sending ctrl-c (or any other interrupt, for that matter) to udt, not the program that is running under udt. This causes the udt session to end which kills the batch process when all we want to do is get to the debug prompt. Questions to the Screen users group have not generated helpful answers. Here's an attempt at an illustration of what I'm talking about. Nesting indicates that a process is running under the outer process. Non-Automated: Can press ctrl-c while PROG1 is running to get to debug prompt AIX udt PROG1 Automated: Ctrl-c and AIX kill's are directed to udt, not PROG1 AIX screen udt PROG1 Does anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve this? My hope is that there's a way to send an interrupt from outside that will be directed towards a specific program.

Re: [U2] Sending interrupt to UniBasic program
Thanks to the suggestions from various posters, I have determined that my incriminations of screen were malicious libel. It's not screen. The issue of not being able to send an interrupt (e.g. kill -2/SIGINT) is a result of how I had to work around something in the third-party code I'm trying to automate. There are a couple input prompts, e.g. "do you want to continue? y/n" that I originally tried to handle with DATA statements. But the 3rd party software is doing something to clear the input stack. I've tried a few different workarounds, including hacking the CLEARINPUT verb, with no success. I finally got it work by doing a PCPERFORM as follows: PCPERFORM 'echo PROGNAME\\nY\\n\\n\\n | udt' This works great except that a SIGINT issued to the newly spawned udt process has not effect. A straight kill works, but it actually kills the udt process which is precisely what I do *not* want to happen. Any creative thoughts on how to get a SIGINT to work? Maybe a different way of calling PROGNAME? Talking to the vendor about changing their code is a theoretical option, but involves $ and a good deal of time, so is not preferred. TIA, Brad.

Re: [U2] Setting return code when a Universe process terminates
Ian, I tried for a long time to figure out a way to do this entirely from within UD. Couldn't figure it out. I hit two walls. First, the exit code that nix receives is the status of the udt command. If you're program runs at all, you get a '0'. The second wall was when I tried setting an environment variable from within my code. The issue there is that shelling out starts a new shell that is closed as soon as you return to UD. The only way I could make it work was to echo a status code to an ascii file. I ended up using a shell script to call my UniBasic program and pass in a location and name of an ascii file. The program determines exit status and echoes it to the ascii file. After the program completes, the shell script checks the contents of the ascii file and does an 'exit #'. I've had this working for a couple years with no issues. I'd be willing to discuss details off-list if you like. Brad > > I'm trying to write some Universe programs that plug into an > existing perl framework.

[U2] General guidelines on indexing
Our primary application hasn't needed the performance gains offered by indexing, but our database has grown large and complex enough that we're looking at it seriously. Having only dabbled with indexing in test environments, I've got a few general and best practice questions. I've seen some comments in the archives on some of the pitfalls, e.g. the dangers of indexing remote files and indexing on correlatives with subroutines. But posts I found are at least a year old. I'm guessing there may be updated information out there. Feel free to point out that everything I'm asking is in the archives and send me there. Some questions: * Are there guidelines for how many indices is too many for one file (assuming disk space isn't an issue)? * Does BUILD.INDEX with the ONLINE parameter work as advertised? Can it really be run while the file is being updated? * How about data consistency? I seem to remember there being concerns in earlier days of an index not always being updated correctly. * How about indexing multi/subvalued fields? I don't know that we'd want to, but is it advisable? Valuable? * We use EMC to clone our production account so we can run nightly reports off-line. The account is renamed in this process. Might that cause any index issues? The clone is read-only, so there are no updates, just queries. * I've seen mention of index corruption. Is it obvious when an index is corrupt or can it be subtle? If subtle, are there ways to detect issues before our users do? * Performance is what we're after, but are there benefits to indexing other than performance?

Re: [U2] [UD] Security and Permissions
Bill, We've had to resolve a similar issue. We're on AIX, but maybe our solution will give you an idea. We have created two userids. The first is user-specific and has the folder privileges required to use UD. But the login is restricted so that they're forced into UD screens and can't get to the OS level. The second ID is shared (wouldn't have to be, though) and has read-only access to the UD folders but broader access to the rest of the system. So maybe your client sets up two ID's for each of the admins that don't get full control. The first forces them to run the UD app, the second has reduced access to UD but gets them to the OS and admin stuff. Brad. > > A client of ours is running UD.

[U2] Predicting application performance
I haven't found anything in the archives and I don't remember seeing this specific question addressed by the group. Please forgive if this has already been discussed. This is a mystery upon which I'm hoping this list can shed some light. I'll sit and watch nmon display CPU stats and see *tons* of waits but the end users experience no slowdowns. At other times nmon may show waits more in the 30% - 40% range and users start complaining about bad response times. We've tried watching I/O and memory/paging space also and don't see any discernible patterns. Does anyone have thoughts on how to predict UD app performance based on CPU, I/O or other system stats?

[U2] UniData performance problems
We have had ongoing intermittent performance issues with InfoLease for many months now. Recently the problems have become worse, especially at monthend. Users and customers are complaining and we're out of ideas. I'm hoping someone can point us in a direction that will get us to the root cause. I won't go into all the details, but here is some information on what we're seeing and what we've done. Application: InfoLease O/S: AIX 5.2.0.0 DB version: UniData 6.0.8 Disk: EMC HW: IBM P670 with two LPARs. One for production, the second cloned nightly for reporting. * Both online and batch processing/reporting have taken a dive at various times. Isssues used to be primarily a day or two before and after monthend, but we're creeping farther into the month as time goes on. * Slowness only affects InfoLease activity. Shell activity seems unaffected. * EMC (disk) tells us we are nowhere near taxing their system and read/write response times are in the 5-8 ms range * At the same time EMC says we're fine, AIX (filemon) indicate significant read/write waits * Nmon regularly indicates a high number of CPU waits, but I've never been able to map that back to user experience * When we experience slowdowns we may/may not be able to pinpoint a process or group of processes causing the problem. * Resizing seems to have pretty much resolved our batch processing but hasn't helped online activity. Udtmon still shows a surprising amount over Overflow 2 activity. We're investigating, so maybe we have more work to do there. Does anyone know what a system in overflow 2 looks like to the O/S? Maybe a higher number of reads? It seems as if there is a bottleneck that noone can identify. Aside from periodic AIX read/write waits nothing shows any problems.

Thanks for all the input and for the confirmation that overflow 2 generates more I/O. We tend to see normal or decreased I/O during slow periods, so maybe sizing isn't the root cause.

Re: [U2] EXECUTE in udcs Sessions (UniData)
Bob, I'd suggest figuring out some way for the script to know which userid to use (AIX environment variable? A udt variable? Change your EXECUTE to pass the name in at the command line?). You could then modify your scripts to 'su' to the user before performing the restricted functions.

Re: [U2] Screen manager "screen"
We aren't using it yet, but are working on it.
For us, screen will be used primarily by operators for long-running
processes, so we have to deal with the fact that the person who started a
job may not be around to check on it until it completes. We expect to
address this by setting up a shared userid. Operators will login as
themselves then 'sudo su' to the shared userid. Since screen attempts to
connect to the port that is already being used by the operators id, the
operators will run ssh under the shared id and then kick off screen. If
anyone has any other ideas on how to address port contention, I'd be
interested.
This approach allows anyone with 'sudo su' to the shared id to monitor the
jobs. Using sudo helps address security concerns inherent in shared ids.

Re: [U2] UniData Dynamic File Behavior
I've seen this before and had it explained before. The explanation made sense for about ten minutes. This was one of several symptoms we were seeing with dynamic files that caused us to bring IBM in for consultation. Rober DunnMiller was the guy. I think he eats this stuff for breakfast. Very helpful. I wasn't deeply involved in resolution, so I can't tell you much.

HpUx 11.11 - UniData 6.1.18 - We have a dynamic file created with KEYDATA using the default split/merge of 95/40. Monday night, an automated purge process kicked off removing approx. 310,000 plus records from this file. On Tuesday, the process was still running and the file was consuming disk space at an alarming rate. We are mystified why the deletion of records from a dynamic file would cause it to grow. It essentially split to the point of more than doubling in size (started with 3 'dat' files and 1 'ovr' file and grew to 8 'dat's and 1 'ovr'). When we resized the file in the wee hours of the morning, we reclaimed approx. 10 gig of disk space. Does anyone know what would cause a dynamic file to grow when removing records? TIA! Shaun P.

[U2] Sending Ctrl-break to udt process via kill?
It would take a while to explain exactly why I'm asking this question, but the basic idea is that I'm trying to develop an alternative to GNU screen because screen won't work in a specific context where it would be quite helpful. If anyone who wants more info they're welcome to contact me directly. Is there a way to send the equivalent of a ctrl-break to a udt process externally from the shell? I want this to result in the udt session responding as if the user had pressed ctrl-break themselves, e.g. if a program is running, drop to the debugger. I've experimented with the kill command, but everything either flat out kills the process or seems to be ignored by the process. Any ideas would be most appreciated.

[U2] [UD] problem calling program from shell script
I'm in the process of automating various vendor processes by calling them from a shell script which can be run by a scheduler. I've done a couple single-threaded processes this way and it works fine. But I'm having difficulty with a multi-threaded process. At least it seems that single/multi-threaded is the key difference. This is a sample from my shell script. The "\n3\n1\n" passes required inputs of 3 and 1 to MT.PROC echo "MT.PROC \n3\n1\n" | udt MT.PROC starts and performs several single-threaded commands without issue. It is then supposed to start 10 phantoms and launch a monitoring process, MT.WATCH. MT.WATCH provides updates on phantom progress every minute. The problem seems to come up when MT.WATCH is started. It seems almost as if MT.WATCH never gets a chance to start since it doesn't display anything. MT.PROC thinks it's done, performs a few more commands and returns to TCL. When I start MT.PROC from TCL it works just fine. So it's the combination of script/UniBasic that's causing the issue. I'd appreciate any ideas on what to look for, trap or, worst case, ask the vendor (for a small fee).

Re: [U2] [UD] problem calling program from shell script
>How is MT.PROC starting MT.WATCH? I wish I knew. That's part of my problem since both MT.PROC and MT.WATCH are 3rd party software. One more clue that may make your question irrelevant: in a successful, non-scripted run, the phantoms start up before MT.WATCH starts displaying status. This might mean that the issue lies in MT.PROC instead. I've started looking at @USER.TYPE. Is there any UniData reason @USER.TYPE = 2 would cause a phantom not to start?
