Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
We use Samba to move 1000's of interface transaction files across from Windows servers to a HP-UX UniVerse server daily. The Windows server creates the file, and UV on the HP-UX box picks them up. The directories and files are create on the HP-UX server through a Samba share. Haven't tried it the other way where the directories/files actually live on Windows. HTH Robert F.

Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
Samba should be fine for this then... Create a directory type file in UD and setup Samba to share this. Map it on the Windows server. Define some process @ whatever time you like to copy/write the files on the Windows server. If they need to be processed somehow on the UD side, create a task that is either time dependent, cyclical or signaled by Windows server to kick off. Easy Peasy and it's been rock solid for us. We write a transaction file on the Windows server to a Samba share on the HP box. Then write a 0 byte file telling that UV watches for, letting it know it's available for processing.

Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
I have done things from Window to UNIX with Samba before. As you say, we do it all the time. The issue I have is I need my Unix box to grab the data from Windows and copy it from Windows to Unix. The copy needs to be run from Unix, not Windows. THAT is the problem I am having. Mapping a network drive in Windows will be great from Windows, but will not solve the problem of issuing the command from Unix (unless I am completely missing the point).

Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
Let me give a full picture. I have a program on our Unix box running UniData. This program processes a BUNCH of nightly stuff including the launching of our PDF invoices which are built on a Windows server (I have no control of that). When the job finishes, one of the things I need to do is verify that the PDFs were in fact created and then send them out to a 3rd party source to be printed, stuffed and mailed. I thought it would be easier to copy the PDFs back to a temp folder on the Unix box, tar them and send them to the 3rd party processing company. I understand that I could have a job on the Windows box do this part, but then I would need some mechanism to fire off the script on the WIndows box. Then, when the Windows script is done, it would need some way to fire off/release the continuation of the tasks on the Unix box. Timing is important here. It may seem clumsy to pull the PDFs back on the Unix box, but I was trying to keep all the control in one place and not try to chain things between difference boxes and hope I got my timings right. Fewer points of failure and no real timing issues. STOP LAUGHING AT ME!

Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
From: Israel, John R. I need to copy PDFs from a Windows server into a UNIX dir (where UniData lives). Can I map a VOC pointer? Other thoughts? Running HPUX, UniData 7.2.1. I'm not as familiar with internals in UV/UD as with other platforms so this may not apply - and I'm eager to understand exactly how these systems Do work in this regard... If you create a Voc pointer and use Copy, I believe the DBMS would pull data through the virtual machine, drawing it into the DBMS from the source, applying EOL/AM conversions, then writing it back out to the target with similar character translation. That can be hugely painful. On other platforms that have a virtual machine environment (blob), overflow frames, etc, that would also mean pulling lots of frames from overflow and then just releasing them. Again, a major performance issue at the time of operation, and a source of rapid overflow fragmentation if done too often. I agree with the suggestions by others to use FTP, etc, and for the reason stated here I would strongly discourage using DBMS verbs for OS-level file transfers. Now, can someone familiar with UV and UD internals confirm or correct that? Thanks. T ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
If I better understand your process I suggest: Create a Unidata directory file: CREATE-FILE DIR filename Share that resulting Unix directory as per suggestions with samba. Map a windows drive to said directory. --- Have the pdf-create process write the pdf files directly to the share drive. Presto: the pdf are in the Unix directory. They are visible as record IDs by listing the Unidata DIR filename. Since they are already in a Unix directory go ahead and do you tar magic... If you want to read them directly into UNIBASIC I would open the DIR file with a OPENSEQ for best performance.

Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
How about using scp with public/private key authentication running from a unix cron to scp from the windows host to a dir on the unix host? Requires ssh installed on both hosts. I've also installed Cygwin on a windows host in the past and used that for the ssh/scp component as you get a nice unix flavour when you ssh in remotely. Alternatively as someone has already said try using smbmount to mount a windows share on a unix dir and use unix cp or mv. Requires samba installed on your HPUX host and that install must have the smbmount (or equivalent) utility. You could also use ftp to fetch the files from the windows server. Requires ftp server installed on windows host. All the above could be driven from within a UD/UV basic program.

RE: [U2] Voc pointer not working (fwd)
Thanks for the response Rich. I figured I was only looking at Universe index at
this level, just wanted to be sure. You never know where SB+ puts its little
goodies.
There are Universe level indexes on this file in both live and test. LIST.INDEX
filename ALL when run in the account properly shows them, and SET.INDEX INFORM
shows the proper pathing when in the accounts. Besides.. this is {apparently}
happening on every file with an Index, not just this one file.
I am not 'too' concerned about this as I can see the file in live via this
pointer which is all I absolutely need to do. I'll only be reading the main
file, no access to index, no changing data. I did want to give the process a
good testing through the test account, which it appears I won't be able to do.
We are of course concerned that we don't have index crossing over the live and
test account on the same box. But all the commands {suggested here} I have run
tell me that they are fine. That the process we run when we copy over the
account is correct.
Ps. Seems Mr. Bill Gates needs to get pathing into his dictionary :)

Hi all. I have a question and hopefully I'll give you all the info you need to answer. Universe 9.4 SB+ 3.4.0 I don't know if SB+ comes into play on this. NT We make a copy of our live account every so often. When doing this we use NT to make the copy and then run it through a universe process so that Universe knows about the account. All works just fine, we have been doing this for years. What I just am now doing is creating a VOC pointer on a different machine (our testing machine which happens to be w2k) and pointing over to Universe files in the copied account. The pointer works fine on some files and not so fine on other. It works fine on all files in the Live account, it is the copy of the account it doesn't work in. The trigger here seems to be files that have I_ folders on them, Index Map?. We are of the mind that when we copy the account over, some pointer is not being re-set in these files/index maps. That we are failing to run a routine when we first copy the account. This voc pointer works fine on the original 'live' account and fine on files in the test account that don't have this I-folder.

If you wish to see whether the indexes are working on the copy, try this command: LIST.INDEX FILENAME ALL in the VOC of the copy account. HTH Karl We are of the mind that when we copy the account over, some pointer is not being re-set in these files/index maps. That we are failing to run a routine when we first copy the account. This voc pointer works fine on the original 'live' account and fine on files in the test account that don't have this I-folder. We checked permissions, sharing and all those goodies. Don't see any reason there for this. And again, it works on (apparently) all files without the I-xx and doesn't work on all files with one. What are we missing? CT VOC SM.ORDERS SM.ORDERS 0001 F 0002 \\MACHINENAME\ACCOUNTTEST\SM.ORDERS 0003 E:\OTHERTEST\D_SM.ORDERS LIST SM.ORDERS Unable to open index map g:\accounttest\I_SM.ORDERS/INDEX.MAP for read/write,Un able to open SM.ORDERS file.

Re: [U2] Voc pointer not working
All, Please watch the overquoting.
