Yes,
when you install uv   a checksum check is performed and the checksums
are kept in .../uv/checksums
You'll find the code to rerun the check in one of the installation 
scripts (uv.install?).

If they could be corrput reload them from the installation medium.

In following Mats lead and poking around in /.../uv/bin there is a script
called csum that seems to do what you want to do, we all want to do.  Not
being a script writer myself we will need a script reader to look at this
and verify that it really does what I think it does.

Script reader anyone??

OK I'll bite ( again )

yes   the   uvhome/bin/csum script  does check the checksums saved from
the installation  'tape' .
Usage:
cd to uvhome
(bin/)csumlistOfGroups

where   the list is one or more of
 DOCIC OBJSTARTUPUVODBC 
 FILESIZE   JDBC   PORTINGUCI

If you have a known good install to compare to, you could use the unix 
diff command.  The easiest way to get access to the good binaries would 
probably be to NFS mount the `cat /.uvhome`/bin directory from the good 
install to the questionable machine.  It wouldn't be too hard to write a 
script to automate the process.  I think something like this would work:

cd `cat /.uvhome`/bin
for FILENAME in `ls` do
 diff ./$FILENAME /path/to/nfs/mount/$FILENAME  /tmp/uv_verify.log
done

We have done a cksum of uvapi_slave in uv/bin on our two machines and find
them to be different.  Both are running 10.0.11
Should we expect them to be different?
 
As we have had some reported disk errors on the development machine we are
going to try re-installing UniVerse tomorrow morning.  A reboot last night
did not help.
 
Anyone got any more suggestions?

RE: [U2] UniObjects and Triggers

2004-11-21 Thread Sara Burns
I think the Trigger may be the victim not the cause.  This may provide some
further information.
 
We have been using UniObjects for VB and UniObjects for Java to write to
UniVerse files for about a year.  Last week we started doing testing on our
Development server using a new set of programs using UniObjects for Java
also writing to UniVerse files.  We started getting errors when the file to
be updated had a trigger.
 
The files in question have not changed.  They are type 18.   Triggers have
been in place for over a year.
 
If we remove the trigger the update works.  If we replace the trigger,
without it actually doing anything, the session appears to abort.  The
license is not released.
 
We have stopped and restarted UniVerse daily, prior to backups but this has
not solved the situation.  We have rebooted the Development server the day
we found the problem, (which initially manifested itself as all licences
being used), but will try this again tonight.  The UniRPC log did not show
anything useful.
 
The older programs, using the same mechanisms, are still running in our
Production environment without problems.  These are both UniObjects for VB
and Java writing to type 18 files with triggers.
 
Development machine - IBM p660 AIX 5.2 ML_01, UniVerse 10.0.11
 
Production machine - IBM p660 AIX 5.2 (no patches), UniVerse 10.0.11
 
Both machines are also running Oracle 9.0.2 and Vantive 8.5.
 
The only useful information we have was that on the day the problem started
we found a message in Oracle, which was launching UniObjects for Java, which
indicated that a string was too long for the string buffer.  This error
message appeared to have been generated from the RPC layer and may have
somehow corrupted the RPC mechanism.
 
I am trying to raise this with IBM as I no longer seem to be able to view
the knowledge base myself.

Saran,

I believe this has been a problem for a couple of years at least as I ran
into a similar problem at a client site a few years ago. The apllication
vendor ended up using a different interface. I believe it is a problem with
the underlying implementation of uv/uniobjects. Check with IBM.

Subject: [U2] UniObjects and Triggers

We have found some odd behaviour with a new development using UniObjects for
Java.  UniVerse 10.0.11 on AIX 5.2 with ML_01
 
We are getting errors when trying to write to a file (standard Type 18)
which has a trigger.  If we remove the trigger the write is successful but
replace the trigger and the process aborts.  We cannot see anything useful
in the logs.
 
We have been using UniObjects for Java (and VB) for quite some time without

We found this on our development machine when all our licences had been
used.  These processes were not releasing a licence when they aborted.
 
Is this a known issue and if so is there an easy fix?
 
Any information or suggestions will be very useful.
