RE: UVODBC/OleDB job Randomly hang
You have a semaphore lock that is not being released. You do not have to reboot the system to correct this problem. Simply run UNLOCK GROUPLOCK. This will release all of the grouplocks and complain about the semaphores that cannot be released. Then issue UNLOCK GROUPLOCK SEMAPHORE ##. You will need to do this for each semaphore that won't release, usually there is only one. Unfortunately, I do not have an answer on how to prevent the hung processes. -Original Message- From: Horacio Pellegrino [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 3:36 PM To: U2 Users Discussion List Subject: Re: UVODBC/OleDB job Randomly hang I've seen that in older versions of ODBC and OleDB clients, I suggest you to update to the latest one. --- Bob Gerrish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribió: > > I have a client running AIX, UniVerse 9.5.1.1 and > UVODBC 3.7 which they are > connecting to via .NET / OleDB.

RE: XML or WORD Format???
Don, Although we have LMS, it has been extremely customized over the years. The line draws are part of the print program using a different character set. So you are correct that the output is just text. The graphics I am referring to are the lines and the company logo that is also just a different font. We are currently writing the text to a download file and can open it in WORD. It looses the different sized fonts that are used and we do not have any way of importing back to LMS.

If the latter, any nix programmer worth his salt ought to be able to faff about with awk, sed or similar to strip out escape sequences, make sure the right characters are used for line feeds and page throws, and convert pcl to txt.

UVODBC - SQL DTS job Randomly hangs
I am running HP-UX 11.00 , Universe version 9.6.1.6 and Uvodbc version 3.7. I have 17 jobs scheduled in SQLAgent that run 47 DTS packages each night to refresh the data from my Universe database to my SQL 2000 database. These jobs are not being modified and the database layout is not being modified. Most of the time all of the jobs complete without any problems. Periodically, one of the jobs (never more than one) and not the same job twice in a row, will hang on the SQL server. The uvosrv process runs on the Universe server for 4 hours and then logs a message stating: 'Server shutting down: The client is not responding to keep-alive pings. Disconnecting!' The 4 hours matches the inactivity timeout of 240 minutes in the odbc configuration. The SQL job will run until it is manually canceled. I then start the process on the SQL server and it will complete without errors. I would appreciate any help concerning this situation. Thanks, Jay. *** THIS MESSAGE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE USE OF THE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY TO WHICH IT IS ADDRESSED AND MAY CONTAIN INFORMATION THAT IS PRIVILEGED, CONFIDENTIAL, AND EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
