RE: [UD] RFS and SAN storage
We have been using a Hitachi SAN with Veritas for several years on a Solaris machine. We moved there from a DG environment using mirrored disks. I can't think of anything to note about the change. We have a couple of files aproaching 30 gig in size. The SAN has performed well. We are on Unidata 5.2 but in the process of moving to 6.0.

[UV] Index weirdness or ...
Hi all, this one is kinda weird on the one hand but on the other, if it's accepted behaviour, then I can use it for good (not evil). I've created an i-type field on a file: 0001 I me me mine test index field 0002 if F1 then F1:@tm:F2 else '' 00... I have created an index on this field and updated it. So far, so good. However, the index seems to be inverting the result of the i-type resulting in an index with index_id = F1 and an index_record = F2:@tm:F0. Whereas I would have expected index_id = F1:@TM:F2 and index_record = F0 The i-type by itself works okay as can be demonstrated by examining the index file or listing the field without the index: LIST TESTFILE I.INDEX.FIELD WITH I.INDEX.FIELD NO.INDEX EXPLAIN Optimizing query block 0 Tuple restriction: F-1 <> '' Driver source: TESTFILE Access method: file scan UniVerse/SQL: Press any key to continue or 'Q' to quit LIST TESTFILE I.INDEX.FIELD WITH I.INDEX.FIELD NO.INDEX EXPLAIN 05:46:56pm 24 Mar 2004 PAGE1 TESTFILE I.INDEX.FIELD 63275 750412066 2 1 records listed. But when listing using the index it bombs out. LIST TESTFILE I.INDEX.FIELD WITH I.INDEX.FIELD EXPLAIN Single-variable predicates processed in index: F-1 <> '' Optimizing query block 0 Driver source: TESTFILE Access method: select list 0 with 1 ids UniVerse/SQL: Press any key to continue or 'Q' to quit 0 records listed. "2û63275" not found. Using a separator character such as '*' instead of the @tm the index works okay. The reason I chose the @tm character as a separator is because SQL indexes use it in UV. I thought I'd be consistent. Obviously I can either use a different character or if this is normative behaviour than I can use it to my advantage.

RE: Access denied on print
>>0002: HSETPTR 0,132,60,0,0,1,AT \\WILLS\ZebraRec,NOEJECT,BRIEF,NOFMT If you can, I'd get some sort of tcpip printing installed on WILLS (or put the printer on a jetdirect box) and then print to this. The problem is that the user who is getting the problem does not have access rights to the machine WILLS. OR it could be that your UV server has no authentication with WILLS. A simple "NET USE \\WILLS\IPC$ /user:validuser validpassword" will authenticate the server (until the next reboot) and printing will work - OR you could make the username/passwords the same on the boxes. alternatively put them both in a windows domain so you are using domain authentication and the passwords will therefore match.

One thing to watch out for is the number of units you have open. You can specify the unit as anything from zero to 254, (totalling 255 units), BUT -- that doesn't mean that you can write to 255 units simultaneously. I came from a PR1ME background, and ran into a problem porting code to Universe. The application had something like 30 print files open, and if I recall correctly there's a limit of 16. Or there was, that may have changed. Obviously, (or at least so if I've expressed myself clearly), this is only a limitation within BASIC code. You can issue as many SETPTR commands as you'd like, and each LIST command is writing only to a single unit. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

[UDT] PHANTOM issue resolved
I just thought that I'd post the results of my testing. If you'll recall I was trying to launch a program as a PHANTOM from the O/S command line and it was not returning to the command line until that process had completed (which could be several minutes in the case of one program). With further experimentation I have discovered that if I run a program that itself spawns the phantom, everything works as expected. Example: the program TESTIT does an EXECUTE PHANTOM ProgramName and is compiled and cataloged. >From the AIX command line I can now type: udt PHANTOM TESTIT This will cause TESTIT to run which in turn spawns another background process that actually runs the program ProgramName. Once TESTIT is done spawning that, TESTIT ends and I am returned to the AIX command line. But ProgramName is still running as a background process. Voila! Thanks to all who offered suggestions.

Yes you can effectively. Write one Phantom routine that selects these files, one by one and loops through every record just reading it then moving on. This will "smoothly" keep the records in memory even if your actual user-accessing of them is chunky. And yes you can create your own internal hashtable. Just DIM an array to the modulo you want and then apply the standard routine to determine which cell your id goes to and put it there or get it from there.

Re: FW: UniVerse vs Progress Performance
Tim, You raise some good points. I always start with file sizes because it is usually easy to diagnose and frequently a quick win to get some speed back. André needs to also look at the complexity of the application. The 430 might be doing little more than they could do on a spreadsheet and the 190 might be doing complex sales analysis, stock modeling, JIT manufacturing, and logistics. Just because they are in the same business does not mean the software has similar abilities. The fact is, they may have done something brilliant with their system and your 'mileage' might be completely typical while they are experiencing atypically good results.

Converting from DG/UX to W2k UV 10. About 80 users. Dual XEON 2.4 2gb ram. I know I have plenty of power for users but in my calculation of needed printers I may have up to 70 or more. We mount different forms on several large shuttle matrix printers and if what I am told is correct I need a different printer for each setup. Also when printing "List Statement Reports" in landscape or condensed mode they go to a printer with the unix driver set to landscape eliminating a program with escape sequences to do the same. I would think the overhead of a non printing printer is like nothing but I guess I want some reassurance. I know we all talk users but what are some of ya'lls (yeah I'm a southerner) printer numbers. Thanks in advance. I really appreciate this group. I don't post often but read almost everything if it remotely relates to me.

You haven't provided enough information to say for certain; evaluating performance bottlenecks can be quite involved. How many disks are being used, and what type of RAID is employed? What are you seeing as far as CPU utilization? You can use sar or topas to determine this. Naturally, there are many, MANY metrics to consider, but seeing the way user, system, and I/O wait time are represented is a good place to start.

Re: How to open another process's stdin/stdout to a UV file descriptor?
You could try using named pipes. You might find an ancient tech bulletin floating around (Ref#74-0067 "Using Pipes With BASIC Processes") that could prove helpful in achieving what you want. I don't have a copy of it anymore. Anyone?? At 08:54 AM 03/23/2004, you wrote: Hi All, Does UV support opening another process's STDIN or STDOUT to a file descriptor? This could solve a lot of interfacing problems for me. For those familiar with perl, this functionality is provided by the open() function something like: open(descriptor, "|externalcmd"). In UV, this would be equivalent to: OPENSEQ "|externalcmd" TO DESCRIPTOR ... or OPENSEQ "externalcmd|" TO DESCRIPTOR ... The '|' symbol in front of (or behind) the command determines whether the process is opened for input or output. You can then use WRITESEQ or READSEQ to communicate with the external unix/windows program which reads its STDIN or writes to its STDOUT.

RE: UniVerse 10 on Win2k3
Augusto, Turning on "Interact with desktop" is what is causing these command boxes to appear. If you turn it off, they will go away. Of course that will bring you back to your original problem. I don't really have any good ideas on that one. We have many customers running on Win 2k3 and have never seen this. There may be a service in Windows you need to stop or start.

No problems being experienced with users complaining the system is slow etc. The server spec is as follows: 2x intel pentium III xeon 500Mhz processors 1.8GB RAM Smart Array 3200 controller Compaq Fast SCSI-2 controller 10x 18.2 GB Ultra SCSI-2 drives (8 drives are RAID 1, other 2 RAID 0) and 5 drives on Ultra 2 controller and 5 drives on Ultra 3 Controller 2x 10/100 Tx Ethernet controllers We are running AIX v5.1 with Maintainance Level 3 and UniVerse 10.0.7 (190 users) on a p620 box with the following specs: System Model: IBM,7025-6F1 Machine Serial Number: 6577ABA Processor Type: PowerPC_RS64-III Number Of Processors: 2 Processor Clock Speed: 602 MHz CPU Type: 64-bit Kernel Type: 32-bit LPAR Info: -1 NULL Memory Size: 4096 MB Good Memory Size: 4096 MB Paging 3072MB Firmware Version: IBM,M2P01208 Our box is struggling with the 190 users. File types are T30. All our lines are minimum 64K diginet. Comparing the 2 boxes, the amount of users on each box, any reason why we are struggling with the 190 users? The transaction volumes of the company running 430 users are considerably higher than ours?
