Dave, We run our 250-user UniVerse system (10.1.x at the moment) on Windows 2003 Server. We have 2 x quad-core Xeon E5345 2.33GHz/1333FSB and 3GB RAM (no point in more on 32-bit O/S like Windows, Windows-64 could use more). So we have eight actual CPU cores, and it shows as 8 CPUs in Windows Task

I'm running a midnight phantom that phantom's a program that logs into the appropriate account and runs the daily cleanup process. One of the tasks this program performs is it cleans up the mv.NET with the following code: * ** Clean up MV.NET by chaining to it (because mv.NET can't execute ** th

Hi Bill, Is it possible that the phantom is starting up twice or the file is being opened simultaneously by two processes for some other reason? The reason I ask is that we have encountered a very strange behaviour of the anti-virus software that we use here. If two processes attempt to open

I donbt understand how reading a forum is any different to reading an email ?? - except that the date/time order is always correct and it does not clog your mail, and you get dozens of forum style benefits which of course you do not have to take as it then implies spending time on that darn web

The digest works really well to resolve many of your complaints. The only time it is a disadvantage is when I'm waiting for an answer. Then I always try to say "please email me directly with any responses" and folks usually do. The rest of the time I'm not bombarded with the emails, they are sta

Maybe you didn't get my last message. It doesn't matter around here if a forum is better or not, the PHB's will not allow the users to surf the net even to get email.

Hi Bill, Can't be sure without seeing the actual code, but my guess is that the CLEAR-FILE on MVNET.READIMAGES is still running when a subsequent command tries to use the file. CLEAR-FILE on Unidata is essentially a DELETE-FILE followed by a CREATE-FILE with the original modulo and block size. If

Similar to Martin's response - we have an overnight process that gets hammered every once in a while when it hits a file that is in the process of being backed up and the backup software locks it. Depending on the site we either reschedule one (or both) processes so they don't overlap or we set the

Martin: Thanks. No anti-virus software because these machines aren't really on the internet. Backup is being done by NTBackup about an hour earlier than this process runs. An interesting comment by Tom Derwin though; that UD deletes the file than recreates is during a CLEAR.FILE action. I don
