RE: Runaway user
Reboot? Probably not okay. Can you do a ps -ef at unix level and identify the process there? LISTU may well tell you this number too. Then do a kill -15 on the process. That'll tell it to shut itself down cleanly. If that fails, then try a kill -9. If that fails, it's a problem with Unix, and a reboot is definitely one of the few solutions (although it should be safe just to ignore it in that case, as it's probably stuck waiting on a signal and using no resources).

Perhaps I've been buffered by the wrath of RD as i don't work with them directly. I work with a company called Zumasys and they've been incredibly helpful with the migrations and new systems that I've installed. I did go to bat with RD directly discussing a licensing issue and was able to convince them of my perspective. It was regarding the 50% discount on D3 for currently supported native systems. There was a loophole that i identified and they accomodated me. They do play hardball on virtually everything else. I have existing UV and UD clients, all of which had their environments converted prior to my involvement. Thus, I've never experienced the birthing pains of converting from native to U2. Observing all the conversations on this forum regarding the release levels, implementations, connectivity etc, and that I am an outside consultant and not an employee, a delivered virgin D3 system on W2K is about as clean an environment one could expect to start from. Pop in the last file-save, do the restore and compile. In fact, converting from AP-pro doesn't even need the compiling. I observe all the unix and NT commands being offered and they're out of my league. Plus, my clients, being native to begin with, aren't aching for the ODBC, triggers, sockets, IIS and other magic features of today. They just want to continue with their green screen apps. Thanks.

I never was able to find any of this documentation on this - and when I asked IBM, since I was running 9.5 they conveniently told me that this documentation no longer existed - go figure. Okay remember that on the test server I had said the two UV_USERS were NT Authority\System and Primo\Administrator. The test server is Tregundo and Primo is another server. So now on the test server, we reinstalled Universe 10 and this time it created two UV_USERS as NT Authority\System and Tregundo\Administrator. Now logging on as administrator I was able to GRANT CONNECT to Will.Johnson and also GRANT DBA to Will.Johnson So it seems like two things. One when it was setup initially maybe the server names were subsequently changed and two this was enough to confuse the hell out of SQL. Reinstalling, like you suggested, just reinstalls the UV account, doesn't overwrite files in other accounts and so that worked out fine. And it fixed the UV_USERS file. Another thing I found out was that, only in one obscure location in the documentation (and NOT in the online HELP command documentation) it states that a TRIGGER program must be globally catalogued. I think it also says it can be normally (but not locally) catalogued but that didn't seem to work. On a PICK flavor account you cannot, as far as I could figure globally catalog. I tried what the documentation said and it didn't work. So I had to log to uv, create a Q pointer to the BASIC program file on the other account, then globally catalog it. Also in order for changes to your trigger to take affect you have to DROP TRIGGER, then globally catalog, the CREATE TRIGGER once more.

My documentation does not mention a MAX statement. I wish you luck dealing with Raining Data. At my earliest convenience I will kick D3 and Raining Data out the back door and run everything on UniVerse.

Crazy intermittent problem. Need help as soon as possible.
Hi, Everyone. I'm having trouble with a scheduling program I'm writing in VB.net, on a WinXPpro system, using UniObjects, that extracts and writes data to a file in our Unidata 6.0.3 system on an AIX 5.1L system. The trouble that I'm having is that the data is getting corrupted. As the screen doesn't rebuild after a data save, I don't 'see' the problem until I restart the program the next time around, and data is re-read from the database. I've been through my program 3 times, and can't find an error. I'm assuming at this point that the error is outside my program, as I ran the same test data through the program 5 times, and it only corrupted the data 3 times. The other two it worked flawlessly. If it was an error in my program, it shouldn't ever work right, should it? Also, the program treats every record equally, but the data is intermittently corrupted, some records process fine, others get corrupted. Some fields are lost all together. Fortunately it's still in test mode, so we haven't lost any real data yet. The data is doing things like this: Record 1: Record 2: DelDate:03/18/0403/18/04 --OK SeqNo: 3 3--OK Type: F 0 These two are mixed together (* see below) Hours: 0h hF ---/ Code: -= This one is GONE Color: BlueWBluThese two are mixed together (* see below) Symbol: W e ---/ Emp:1= This one is GONE! RelNo: 01234567001 N0123456700 These two are mixed together (* see below) Priority: N 1 ---/ (* HERE!) At first, I thought that the data was being broken up at the wrong points, but after a closer look, it appears that this is happening. In each three line group: Line1: Starts with the first character of line two, and loses it's last character. Line2: Loses it's first character to line 1, and gains the last character of line 1 at the end of it's data. Line3: Data is gone (unless it's a space character) It's really crazy.

You don't say what your using to write the data. On the PC side, look for the flush() function of the streamwriter and textwriter objects.

Dumb question - have you confirmed that the records are actually being stored erroneously? You say that the screen shows it wrong when you recall it, but maybe the problem is with the display and/or retrieval routines. As others have said already, the information supplied so far doesn't give us much to go on.

This software monitors CPU usage for each user, and their child processes, to be sure a user really is idle. It can then log off the idle users, with a warning message if desired. You can vary the inactivity time by user, time of day, application, etc. You can control how the user is logged off.

Re: [UV] SP.EDIT SP.ASSIGN HS
SP.ASSIGN (HS sends the file to the spooler, with HOLD and RETAIN attributes asserted. It does not send files to the HOLD file. You will find your files in the directory referred to by your UVSPOOL configuration parameter. You can use the SPOOL -LIST command to see that they are held from printing. You can use the SP.EDIT command to print them and manage them (for example kill (de-queue) them). If you want to send output to HOLD the correct command to use is SETPTR with the sixth argument set to 3. For example: SETPTR 0,132,2,0,0,3,BANNER MYFILE,BRIEF (this command directs the default print channel to a record called MYFILE in the HOLD file. If you examine the SP.ASSIGN verb in the VOC file, and trace it back to source, you will find that SP.ASSIGN (HS actually ends up invoking the SETPTR command, but in mode 1 (spooler), for example SETPTR 0,132,60,3,3,1,HOLD,RETAIN - Original Message - From: Cyndi Calvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 15:39:19 -0800 To: U2 Users Discussion List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SP.EDIT SP.ASSIGN HS Hi, I'm trying to use the 'SP.ASSIGN HS' to send the output to file under UNIX HOLD directory.
