We use snapshots to perform a backup as well. We do a dbpause/SUSPEND.FILES ON and a Unix sync() to flush the buffers to disk before creating a snapshot. Once the snapshot is created, you can then do a dbresume (is that the right verb - long time since I worked on ud) or SUSPEND.FILES OFF. The

I realize this is an old thread now, but is there any way to improve the speed of the AccuTerm file transfer (preferably using an error correcting protocol)? On SBClient a 25K file takes a couple of seconds, on AccuTerm the same file takes about 30 seconds.

Kevin, I've found using the ASCII version of the Accuterm transfer to be 'acceptable' regarding speed. A couple of things: Depending on the version of the FT programs, you may be limited to 10-meg files. A couple of tweaks here and there and that can easily be changed to 100-meg or more. Unfor

I noticed that the AccuTerm ASCII transfer is markedly faster, but ... there's no error correction there either (right?) and if this file loses an inopportune character or two, well, bad juju can happen. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.

Yes, it is as you say. I use it primarily to move reports back and forth, not critical like an EDI transfer. Also, I have been using it for a number of months and have not had a single failure, that has been brought to my attention at any rate. I've been considering writing an ftp script/subrout

It depends on your MV web service capabilities and which browser. You can do it natively in IE, IIRC, with jscript calls, but I imagine you'll need two services to make it happen. One for a dynamic doc source and a another one to launch from Accuterm that controls the doc resource and w
