Piers,
UniVision is essentially Mentor OE - with many new features.
The product is quite robust on Linux 9.0 and it's a price-point leader -
only $199.00/user.
Good results with up to about 300 users. It even allows you to increase the
size of your "data store" while users are on the system.
on to your problem.
UniVision has a pre-defined virtual or "pseudo" tape device.
>From within UniVision - on either Linux or Windows (NT/XP, 2000, etc) you
can write to that virtual disc file.
=T-STATUS
LTU Drive ATT Format
0 FVT Virtual Tape Drive ./VTape01.vfd
1 FVT (D3 Pick) Pseudo Tape ./VTape02.vtd
2 UVT UniVision VTape ./UVTape00
3 FVT file: /tmp/nurelease.v /tmp/nurelease.vtf
UVUP uvupgrade
T-STATUS will tell you the status of your tape devices.
The VTape02.vtd is a Pick style Pseudo tape and that's what I use most
often. Since you want to do a t-dump, it's easy and easily imported into
UniVerse.
=t-select 1
DEVICE ATTACHED BLOCK SIZE: 500
BLOCK SIZE: 500
[6043] D3 Pseudo Virtual Tape Unit.
Willl select the tape device
T-DUMP FileName will dump the file.
T-REW
T-DET
Then from Unix/Linux or Windows
cd /home/Univision
[EMAIL PROTECTED] UniVision]$ ls -al VTape02.vtd
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jul 7 22:29 VTape02.vtd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] UniVision]$
You can then mv (rename) or cp (copy) the VTape02.vtd file to something
meaningful
Then ftp it to the target machine.
You should then be able to T-LOAD the file on a UniVerse machine and do your
data manipulations there for the CSV records - which should be a trivial
task.
BTW, if you remove the VTape02.vtd, UniVision will automatically re-create
it for you when you T-SELECT the device.
If you need additional help, contact us off line.
We are UniVision dealers and the exclusive distributor of UniVision in
Brazil.
