RE: SQL Server and Crystal Reports
Mark, Not quite an answer to your question, but the first thing I would do would be to get your client to set up an MSDN subscription. The library will help you loads once you get past the initial learning curve and need to see how to do things, and has sample applications to check out. Remember that if you want to 'play', you can load a copy of the MSDE (Microsoft Data Engine) which is fully SQL server compatible (available with professional versions of Office, Visual Studio 6 and .Net) but has a smaller footprint and no licence requirements. As well as SQL Server, (SQL and TransactSQL) you will probably need to know about the various interfaces, so the MSDN is a good choice for reference materials on subjects such as OleDB (ADO). I don't know what the various editions cost - we get the Enterprise edition which is pricey, but not for what you get, and includes a 10 user SQL server licence as well as licences for all the MS platforms, office versions, development tools etc. If your client wants to retain you this could be a very good investment on their part.

RE: UV on SCO Unix
We are in the process of switching from DG intel to IBM intel running Red Hat Linux. We don't have the IBM server yet. We are currently experimenting with a Dell Poweredge server with Red Hat AS 2.1. All of our Universe files and apps convert over just fine. I really cant put a full load on it to give it a true test. However, it has been blowing the doors off the old system (sselect on 721657 records Red Hat/Dell = 1min 12 sec, DG = 11min 10sec). Nothing has crashed yet, no core dumps. Red Hat is as expensive or as cheap as you want it to be depending on what support option you purchase. Isn't it true that the SCO code is now in Red Hat anyway ;) ?

UV command failing mystery - RESOLUTION
I had the following kernel parameters changed over the weekend: SDELSIM 256 to 1024 SEMOPM 64 to 100 SEMUME 64 to 1024 SHMMNI 2048 to 4096 SEMMNI 2048 to 4096 SEMMSL 256 to 1024 And the problem has not occurred since! I have reviewed the documentation on each of the above parameters in hopes of determining which parameter was set incorrectly. SDELSIM - The default number of file descriptors per process. (Referred to as NOFILES in the UV documentation.) I had set SDELSIM to exceed MFILES plus the 8 internal UV files. HDESLIM (the maximum number of file descriptors a user is allowed to have open) was left at the default value of 1024. SEMOPM - The maximum number of semaphore operations per semop (2) call. Although not a parameter mentioned in the UV documentation I had concluded from some Unix documentation that the value of 100 was unnecessarily large and had reduced the value to 64. The default value is 10. SEMUME - The maximum number of Undo entries per Undo structure. Also not a parameter mentioned in the UV documentation, a reading (mis-reading) of the Unix documentation led me to conclude that the value was unnecessarily large. Since I have now learned that the default value is 1024 this change is suspect. SHMMNI - The maximum number of shared memory segments that may exist in the system at one time. The UV documentation recommends setting this to a number greater than the maximum number of concurrent Universe users plus 2. Our UV user count has not exceeded 700 users in the last few months. SEMMNI - The maximum number of semaphore sets. The UV documentation states that Universe requires 2 semaphore sets. The ipcs -s command reports that our system uses 7. SEMMSL - The maximum number of semaphores per set. The UV documentation states that this should be at least equal to FSEMNUM + GSEMNUM + 5. On our system that total is 152. I still am not sure which parameter(s) were the source of the problem. And I intend to leave well enough alone so I may never know for sure. In any case I hope that if someone else encounters the same problem they can benefit from my experience. I want to thank everyone who offered help and took the time to make suggestions. Vance Dailey -Original Message- From: Vance Dailey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 5:23 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject:UV command failing mystery We are having a very strange intermittent problem with the UV command not working from Unix. Occasionally, after a user logs into Unix (without noticing anything unusual) typing UV simply returns the user to the UNIX shell almost instantly. When the problem occurs it seems to affect everyone who logins in and attempts to go into Universe for a period of time and then the problem seems to resolve itself. Any users who logged into Unix during that period of time still can not go into Universe but new logins work fine. The problem seems to be with Universe. Unix commands work fine and when we have tried executing other Universe commands which normally can be run from Unix they fail also. The Unix login script seems to run fine. When the problem occurs users already in Universe notice no problems. No unusual locks or performance problems have been noticed. The problem does not seem to be load related since it happens at apparently random times including times when very few users are logged in. We have been running 9.6.2.2 on DG/UX for several years and have never had the problem until the last couple of months. The only thing that may be suspicious is some changes we made to some kernel and UV config settings a few weeks prior to the first reported problem. The following changes were made: (KERNEL) SDELSIM 2048 TO 256 SEMOPM 100 TO 64 SEMUME 1024 TO 64 SHMMNI 4096 TO 2048 SEMMNI 4096 TO 2048 (UV CONFIG) MFILES 56 TO 200 T30FILE 8000 TO 200 (we have no dynamic files) FSEMNUM 101 TO 50 GSEMNUM 211 TO 97 GLTABSZ 150 TO 75 RLTABSZ 150 TO 75 MAXRLOCK 100 TO 74 Any help solving this puzzle would be greatly appreciated.

RE: UV on SCO Unix
I can only agree to placing option 7 where it is, I would seriously look at an X86 server running a couple of Xeon processors at 2.4Ghz or quicker. If you have good Unix skills, take a long look at Linux, the price is right and there haven't been too many complaints on the list about the Universe product on Linux.

RE: D3 on NT
Notice my next paragraph begins with the word Seriously Yes XML has been usuable as a connectivity medium for years, but how many people are taking advantage of it? Microsoft and other companies are continually developing tools to reduce the time and money aspect of using XML, and make it easier to make use of relational databases, but I doubt most MV users or developers are keeping up with the details. No matter how much free information is available, I don't seriously think professionals like us who provide information, products, and services will go out of business anytime soon. ETL tools are always in vogue. Tony Tony, Could you do me a favor and not declare my entire market segment dead.

Hey hey ! I've just looked at our readme file and it appears our problem is issue #11264.

RE: Universe/RedBack on Linux
There are a few modules on Apache that run the asp code. I've tried the ASP Version 2.53 but haven't worked it particularly hard, it works but would need a bit more testing to try redback. Would be most interesting and save having to use IIS with the attendant security issues. 8=) Apache runs very well on XP etc. but if you wish to continue to use *nix then IMHO Apache is the way to go. http://modules.apache.org and search for asp Apache::ASP Version 2.53 for Apache 1.3, 2.x License: GPL Last Updated June 14th, 2003Author Josh Chamas Active Server Pages with perl scripting.
