Re: [UV] paragraph labels
This is just plain, simple bad programming. In a paragraph, jumping to an undefined label terminates the paragraph. It is totally unsafe to use this as a nifty way to end because someone might later add the label for some other meaning in the same paragraph. In a Basic program, as one responder showed, you get a compilation error.

RE: version control software (AD for PRC)
There've been a few people post about the way their company has wrapped a unix or other outside 'change control tool'. I think these are interesting and I admire the technicality that goes into that approach. And I appreciate their sharing it, here. But it stimulates in me a rather wild and uncontrollable desire to express my differences in opinion and approach. It's different when I do it, because this is what I do -- and I have a product to sell. Thus: AD WARNING: Following is a blatant PRC brag and sales pitch thinly disguised as a technical discussion of its approach. (But I will stick with the main technical differences ... unless you want more, then e.mail me!) PRC is a complete software configuration management tool -- including change control / version control -- developed in and for the U2 environment. Besides the obvious -- that it is a finished / supported product -- PRC differs in some basic ways from other mainstream approaches. * PRC is written in and for the U2 environment. * PRC is project-centric, as opposed to file-centric (or item-centric) meaning the versioning is not so much against a specific file (program) (although that detail is kept) but rather the collection of bits and pieces of whatever (program, subroutine, process, paragraph, dictionary, Voc entry, whatever) that comprise the change. * Backward regress-able versions of all changed items are stored -- in their entirety. (And self-managed.) No delta records, to apply in order to 'rebuild' ... you can pull up an old copy and look at it. Or view it against the current version with changes highlighted. * There are tools and utilities so that the programmer -- not from a management perspective but from a head-down/ coders / convenience perspective -- WANTS and LIKES what PRC is doing. This is key, along with ... * Our #1 mission in the development of PRC was that there not be any 'extra' task or step that must be remembered or could be (accidentally or otherwise) forgotten. With PRC you just work as usual -- the software is checked out, reviewed against permissions, backed up and so forth AS YOU GO. No extra steps or checking required. * There are clearances and procedures that can be put into place to handle any emergency or exception without violating audit requirements. * PRC supports he whole SCM /SDLC process from the problem report, through management of the projects (in terms of assigning, scheduling, estimating, tracking progress), the change control piece, test management, deployment and provides a single repository for auditing and reporting.

We have some simple subroutines that return this version information which we can use e.g. from I-Descriptors to list the versions and from setup routines to check versions; and we have wrappers around our installation routines and checks in the routine we use for any global cataloging to ensure that we don't accidentally catalog an older routine over a newer version. Secondly, we use RCS for delta-ing (we could use CVS but RCS was a simpler option for interfacing). To allow it to handle non-source items (eg dictionaries and parameter records) we wrapper the RCS routines (ci and co) through some routines that essentially maintain an index of the UniVerse location (ACCOUNT DICT FILE LEVEL ITEM) to a numbered UNIX file. These allow allow us to things like accept select lists, so the whole thing is command line driven and very flexible. The routines maintain an index between our version stamps (which are 3 level major.minor.build) and the RCS version (which is 2 level major.minor) so we can search on either. We also apply tags in the index rather than using RCS tags, which are a bit flaky. The routines use the index to copy the item to a type 19 file using sequentially assigned IDs, then commit the copy to RCS. The same index is used to retrieve the item again, and optionally copy the item back to its original location OR to a new location (another reason for using the index). As most of our applications are client/server or Web based, we then

John; There are a couple of tools for file repair that I miss from D3. The good thing is I don't have to worry about it much :-). 1. Yes, I at least hope you wrote a program to do that all for you. Generally, I copy the file at the OS level (after making sure no one will access it etc). I then try to resize the file. It will often times clean up this kind of stuff. It pretty much just copies the items out and back in. There is also a File Fixing document on the U2 TechSupport Survival CD. It provides a lot of techniques for fixing file corruption. 2. If the file is damaged in certain ways I've had these fail. Yes, it's very annoying. 3. RECORD filename ID will list everything in the group that the ID hashes to. I've only found dumpgroup to give the items in a group - so if you don't have a key that hashes to that group you're in for the hunt-and-peck method. Perhaps the fileview utility would help here - I haven't had the time to go work with it much. 4. The file fixing documentation on the Tech Survival CD has some good advice.

Even on AIX now there are some extended shared memory facilities which allow you to have more segments instead of just making them all huge! I can't remember the exact details but EXTSHM rings a bell. Cheers, Ken Hello James Hogan,of Sungard and Ken Wallis, I have been getting the U2 Users Daily Digest for a for weeks now, after getting individual emails for the longest time. I just caught this thread, and had to get in on this. What James Hogan wants to accomplish can be done. There are products out there such as the DPMonitor that do exactly that. There are several key factors though: 1) Situations like that require constant monitoring, and mapping out of platform operational dynamics, and knowing the behaviors that occur when things start to go wrong. 2) The Monitor needs to be external to the application server being monitored. You need a real low overhaed process (Agent) on the Application Server doing low level kernel calls, consistently, over time, and establish what the operational baseline characteristics of the application are in normal mode. A real key is having that Agent talking to an Operations Console Performance Explorer and Alert Center, and having Probes, or Alarms set up, to notify Operations in things get out of whack, and therefore allow corrective action to take place before the application server or process gets hung. Imagine that - a proactive response as compared to a reactive response. 3) You can't run such standard system commands/programs/utilities, especially ones on the application server being monitored, as they consume significant volumes of resources, and contribute to the problem, if they ever report back to you, (such as Ken mentions). So, what do you do? Reinvent the wheel with some configuration of scripts? The smart choice is to download and evaluate the DPMonitor Performance Monitoring Solution. The licensed version will monitor individual, user-selected processes, in addition to the system wide parameters and metrics. You can set up Probes to test and watch for certian conditions or thresholds to be crossed, and then take pro-active, pre-programmed by the user responses to those situations, or simply generate an email, a page, or what have you. DPMonitor has Performance Agents for AIX, Solaris, and Windows. Even an Oracle Agent. U2 Products and applications can be monitored via individual per process monitoring. One Performance Explorer can display Agent data from all Agents, for centralized Enterprise, or ASP providers. Very easily installed and set up, and provides dynamic scaling, colorful, detail graphs of the health and resource level consumption of the application server platform, history of resource consumption, aggregation, and user-selectable timeframe periods for display. Dial right into problems situations quickly and easily and understand exactly what is going on, when it happens, and what ripple affects it causes in paltform operational dymanics. Real easy to solve the problems if you have a clear roadmap. DPMonitor provides that roadmap, at reasonable pricing. Check out the significantly updated www.deltek.us websoyte for product information and examples of how the DPMonitor could be easily quickly setup to provide exactly the type of application server monitoring James at Sungard was asking about.
