RE: [U2] Locks, releases and STATU() (oh my)
Yes, it was really bizarre. I pulled out my support call and found I was wrong about the versions - it was broken in 6.0.2 and fixed after (at least on Windows). Here are my testing notes: The only pattern I've found is that if I use SBClient and start a GUI session then use "0" to get the command prompt the list.readu will work. If I start a windows telnet session at this time the list.readu will also work in that session. The SBClient session will stop working if I return to the menu (MM) and go to the TCL prompt (/TCL) whether or not a command is run. The windows telnet will continue to work until I close it and start a new session. If I have SBClient shutdown and create two windows telnet sessions the list.readu will not work. It looks like *something* is getting set with the SBClient session. Didn't get a lot of detail back from IBM something about a structure not being initialized properly or at the right time. I did get a patched .exe and .dll that resolved the problem. It was actually a fix for a problem with selects Colin >-Original Message- >From: Kevin King > >That sounds a little bizarre.

RE: [U2] Locks, releases and STATU() (oh my)
We are running Avante, on Universe, on HPUX so I developed this small
program to grab the LIST.READU output, locate the filenames (it only
looks at production files) and display the lines with the filenames.
Since the part number is also an important field for us, I display it
rather then the internal part number.
Here is the program-
FINDCMD="CSH -c 'find /usr/igi/flodata/live/LIVE.DATA -inum "
INUMS=""
FNAMS=""
IMOPEN=0
IF @WHO = "uv" THEN QPTR="ITMMST.PROD" ELSE QPTR="ITMMST"
OPEN "VOC" TO MYVOC ELSE GOTO 10
READ VOCREC FROM MYVOC,QPTR ELSE GOTO 10
CLOSE MYVOC
OPEN QPTR TO IMFILE ELSE GOTO 10
IMOPEN=1
10
GOTRECLOCK=0
EXECUTE "LIST.READU EVERY" CAPTURING XX
NXX=DCOUNT(XX,@AM)
FOR I=1 TO NXX
YY=XX
* Sample -
* 1073807361 314630257 23 RU 13667 JOEUSER G000396500
* Active Read Waiters: Owner Waiter
* Device Inode Userno Userno
*107380736311400 88 145
FIRST19=YY[1,19]
IF FIRST19 = "Active Record Locks" THEN GOTRECLOCK = 1
IF GOTRECLOCK = 0 THEN CONTINUE
IF FIRST19 = "Active Read Waiters" THEN GOTRECLOCK = 2
IF GOTRECLOCK = 2 THEN GOTO 30
ZZ=YY[11,10]
VV=""
LOCATE(ZZ,INUMS;LOC1;"AL") THEN VV=FNAMS ; GOTO 20
IF NUM(ZZ) THEN EXECUTE FINDCMD:ZZ:"'" CAPTURING WW
ELSE WW=""
IF WW # "" THEN
UU=DCOUNT(WW,"/")
VV=WW["/",UU,1]
VV=VV<1>
END
INS ZZ BEFORE INUMS
INS VV BEFORE FNAMS
20
IF VV # "" THEN
IF VV = "ITMMST" OR VV = "INVPLAN" THEN
IF IMOPEN THEN
THEKEY=YY[60,5]
READV PARTNBR FROM IMFILE,THEKEY,1 ELSE PARTNBR="NO IM"
YY[LEN(PARTNBR)+4]=" (":PARTNBR:")"
END

Subject: [U2] Locks, releases and STATU() (oh my)
Hello wizards,
I've read what I can find on the subject, but I'm not finding what I
need.
As usual, anyone who knows where the info is, I would not be the least
bit
offended if you just point. Or if you know off-hand ...
(Presently grappling with Unidata):
When I hit a lock with a:
READU this FROM that,ID LOCKED locked clause ELSE whatever
LIST.LOCKS from TCL has always been worse than useless for me. For
example
at this exact moment I'm holding locks on 3 sessions, yet if I run
LIST.LOCKS on a 4th session it displays ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I don't see much on offer in the LOCKED clause, although the online help
suggests that STATUS() will return the user number of the lock it ran
into.
Can't understand its output... I have a very short program that displays
STATUS(), opens the file and displays STATUS() then does a READU against
an
item I purposefully have locked on another session and I display
STATUS() a
third time. What do you suppose its giving me, and what can I do with
it?
1 STATUS = 0 <-- beginning of program
2 STATUS = 1 <-- after the open
3 STATUS = 197613 <-- this is what it gives me after the READU against a
locked item
What I want to do is determine who/what has the lock, tell the user, I
also
want to be able to carry on under my own conditions when ud 46 flag is
set
which will by default allow edits to items I've locked against my own
session. Which is too loose -- I want to check to make sure I'm in the
exact right condition to do that and I'm not sure how I can (by seeing
what
is holding the lock) but ... does anyone know how to get ANY information
out
of a lock?

RE: [U2] Locks, releases and STATU() (oh my)
Ooops, I thing I forgot to mention. On some versions of UniData (5.2.4?) doing a /TCL in SB+ will cause UniData to not output information with LIST.READU. I don't recall if there is also a problem with GETREADU() - plus it's already in an array so you don't have to trim and parse (truncated) data (unless you use the DETAIL modifier)..

RE: [U2] Locks, releases and STATU() (oh my)
Like Mike said, you want to use LIST.READU (or LIST.QUEUE) to see the locks. However, UniData, unlike UniVerse does have the file name and not just the number. The Status() after a readu gives you the UID (pid) of the process that has the record locked. You can parse it out of the array returned with GETREADU(). This is like capturing the LIST.READU output. You can get the user You may also find RECORDLOCKED handy. The TCL HELP should give you what you need for these.

RE: [U2] Locks, releases and STATU() (oh my)
Hi Susan. You're in UD and I'm coming from a UV system so your mileage may vary. LIST.LOCKS is just a semaphore table, not an actual listing of record locks. The LOCK command is used for setting the entries in that table. Not seeing your code snippet, I offer this in an attempt to present my knowledge on this subject: OPEN 'filename' TO FILE.HANDLE ELSE GOTO Z999.EXIT KEY = 'key.value' READU DATA.RCD FROM FILE.HANDLE, KEY LOCKED PRINT 'PROCESS ID ':STATUS():' HAS ':KEY:' LOCKED. ABORTING.' GOTO Z999.EXIT END THEN PRINT 'DATA RECORD FOUND AND LOCKED.' END ELSE PRINT 'NEW DATA RECORD. KEY LOCKED.' END DATA.RCD<-1>='New Field Added' WRITE DATA.RCD ON FILE.HANDLE, KEY Z999.EXIT: END You can then use LISTU to find the process id in the USER NO column and the user login id in the USER NAME column for that process. For LIST.LOCKS, I use that to help me keep track of what PHANTOMS are running. In the phantom program I use something similar to: LOCK.ID = 15 LOCK LOCK.ID THEN PRINT "PHANTOM STARTED AT ":TIMEDATE() END ELSE PRINT "PHANTOM IS ALREADY RUNNING." GOTO Z999.EXIT END * DO STUFF HERE. ... UNLOCK LOCK.ID Z999.EXIT: PRINT "PROCESS ENDED AT ":TIMEDATE() END This will give me an entry in &PH& each time the phantom starts and stops. The number 15 is just a number I picked out the air to be associated with this specific phantom. When I LIST.LOCKS, I'll see my process ID, unless I'm in the Administrators group, then I'll just see a zero in that "slot". If the phantom dies, for any reason, that session closes and releases the lock. If the phantom shuts down normally, it also releases that lock. Hope that helps.

Re: [U2] Locks, releases and STATU() (oh my)
Susan, Try LIST.READU. This will list the readu locks. LIST.LOCKS lists the semaphore locks. The result from the STATUS() should tell you who has the record locked. Translating that into an actual usr can be tricky as this may be the process id (?). You should see the results from STATUS() in the results from LIST.READU.

RE: [U2] Locks, releases and STATU() (oh my)
The 197613 is the ID of the user session. The trick is to translate this to a user ID. SB+ appears to be doing this with the SB.DISP.LOCK routine, though I'm not certain how they're doing that translation. Oh, here's a thought. From BASIC, EXECUTE a LIST.READU, capture the output, and then trim each line of the response. Once a line is trimmed, field out the process ID in the third position; if it's the process ID returned by STATUS() then get the port number from the first position. You could then use that to read the $PASSport record which will tell you who is logged in on that port (in <7>) and a whole bunch of other stuff. -Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PrecisOnline.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Randall Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 8:48 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Locks, releases and STATU() (oh my) Think LIST.READU is what you are looking for.
