RE: [U2] UniObjects.Net specifying port

2004-11-10 Thread Ian Clark
Yes spotted that, but I need an instantiated object to set the port on, but how 
do I construct a UniSession object without using the OpenSession method ?  
There doesn't seem to be a constructor that allows creation of the object 
without attempting a connection, seemingly in the event of a failed connection 
opensession does not return an instance of the object.  Unless I'm missing 
something obvious ?

Look in the UniObjects .Net Help under UniSession Properties.
One of the properties is public int HostPort {get; set;}.

Subject: [U2] UniObjects.Net specifying port


 Hi,

 We've recently received UniObjects.NET and are investigating upgrading our
 existing UO code to .NET.  However our RPC daemon is configured to run on
 a different port from the normal.  Does anyone know how to specify the
 port number used to connect when using UO.NET.  Previously our code was
 able to perform this using the hostname property (e.g. HOST:PORT)
 however UO.NET doesn't like this and complains that the host doesn't
 exist.  I can't seem to find a constructor that allows me to create a
 session without actually opening a session, and unfortunately the
 opensession method does not allow a port specification.

 Anyone got any ideas ?

 I Clark

I have done something similar for a client, using a simple VB program.

The documents are written to a nominated shared directory on the server,
along with a print request written to a data file. The VB program runs
constantly on a PC, opens a UniObjects connection and reads the print
requests periodically. The program also opens Word as an automation source
(include a reference to Word.Application for ease) and instructs it to load
and print each document requested. As I recall it was fairly painless, but
I
don't have access to the source now. It would also depend on the volumes
you
need to process: controlling Word can be pretty slow though we were doing
some other stuff at the same time (reformatting, merging etc) for that
exercise.

[U2] UV slow after reboot

2004-11-10 Thread Stevenson, Charles
For the first day after a reboot, our Universe application seems to be
extraordinarily slow; dramatically slower than what I've seen on other
systems, and maybe worse than how this system used to be after reboots
(subjective assessment).

For several hours after reboot users weep and gnash their teeth over the
slowness .  By the end of a normal workday things seem to be back to
normal.  I *think* the performance improvement is gradual during those
first several hours.

The important thing to note is that there are generally no performance
complaints -- except for after a system reboot.   Poor performance after
reboot is predictable.

Fortunately, reboots are few and far between.

Has anyone else seen this sort of thing?  I'm fishing for ideas here.
The only thing I can think of has to do with loading buffer cache.  A
stable system that has been running for a while would tend to have that
day's current data cached, eliminating many disk reads that would be
needed on a freshly booted system.  But I don't know,  it seems quite a
stretch as an entire explanation.

Some relevant info:
HPUX 11i
UV 10.0.16
8GB buffer cache
~ 300 UV processes
No other application, except services supporting the UV based ap.
~  30GB of UV data in active data files.  Files are well sized
(thank-you FAST and type 30), although some have huge data records that
have outgrown original design.
Typical application with typical mix of updates / reports.
RedBack used heavily, with slowdown there, too.


Again, any suggestions must speak to the difference between speeds of
newly-rebooted vs. a stable system,  not just general performance
tuning.

 0 to 32767.  High order bits are dropped.  The documentation does

Your idea works perfectly.  The mathematics is correct.
You could accomplish the same thing by something like this.
NUM1 = RND(33000)
NUM2 = RND(33000)
RNDNUM = (NUM1R%4:NUM2R%4) + 0

thus taking only the 4 rightmost digits of each.
You'd get random numbers from 5 to 8 digits long, and thus in the range 1 - 
1000

You could then subtract 1 if you want the range
0 - 999

Re: [U2] Printing an RTF file from Universe

I know that if I imbed HP PCL code into the print job for different fonts 
etc that these will print fine. However, for this particular job, a couple of 
logos are part of the document as well and we would like to be able to 
print them.

RTF is interpreted by the application not the printer.
The only way to print it correctly is through an application that can 
understand it, like Word or Wordpad.  Thus if some of your users are 
greenscreen, then the only way to accomplish your automatic task is to have 
some sort of phantom constantly running somewhere that wakes up every so often 
to see if there is anything to do.
   This phantom would have to run in such a way that it has access to the 
environment in which the printing application lives.  So it either has to run 
IN Windows, or it has to run on a PC that can access Windows (for example 
through an Accuterm Script).
   So you can write a VB script that constantly runs, or you can write an 
Accuterm script to live on a PC to act as the phantom print scheduler thingie.

UV 9.6.1.3 on NT.
I needed to generate some random numbers between 0 and 370570, and just
to check the distribution of numbers, I ran this snippet of code:

FOR I = 1 TO 99
  THIS.NUM = RND(370570)
NEXT

What's odd is that no matter how many times I run this, the distribution
of numbers is always completely in the lower 10% of the range (approx).
In other words, there are never any numbers generated higher than ~
33,000.

Am I doing something stupidly wrong?

For several hours after reboot users weep and gnash their teeth over the

normal.  I *think* the performance improvement is gradual during those
first several hours.
This is most likely caused by a RAID set being rebuilt.  You should 
check the shutdown process and make sure the database filesystem is 
being properly unmounted and the RAID subsystem is being properly 
stopped prior to the machine being powered off.  If a RAID set isn't 
shut down cleanly it will get marked as dirty and rebuilt after 
bootup.  I'm not familiar with RAID on HP-UX, but there should be a way 
to shut it down that doesn't require a rebuild after bootup.

I seem to remember something about 32,767 or 32,768 being involved in this
somewhere.  Not being a math major, but this is a 8 bit number which I
believe is the max for the RND function.  You will have to add some other
mathematics to reach your 370570.

RE: [U2] Printing an RTF file from Universe

2004-11-10 Thread Rod Hills
If you are on a unix Avante system, then get the utility called Ted.
It is an RTF X-window edittor, but it has the ability to convert RTF to
Postscript at command line. Then you can use a utility called
ghostscript to convert Postscript to PCL.

Not all of our end users use Accuterm so this is not an option. Also, 
not all of the end users are PC users - some use dumb terminals.

I know that if I imbed HP PCL code into the print job for different
fonts 
etc that these will print fine. However, for this particular job, a
couple of 
logos are part of the document as well and we would like to be able to 
print them.

 After you write the document, launch an Accuterm script that then
launches 
 Word and tells Word to print the document.


 I do this using Accuterm to view/edit/print an rtf formatted document
from a
 PC, but instead of Word I associate Wordpad with .rtf extensions, so
that it
 still works if Word is not installed on the client PC.
 
 Here is the code that uses Accuterm to send an item from a universe
file
 (DOCUMENTS) to c:\DOC.rtf,  then starts wordpad, then sends the result
back.
 IIRC Albert Kallal posted some vb script  to comp.databases.pick to
 automatically print using word- try googling  cdp for printing word
 documents. There are also some vb scripts to do this sort of thing on
the
 Accusoft website (asent.com).

RE: [U2] Unidata and UniBasic training

Actually, Marilyn, I agree. I took a basics class - more on the
structure of the database than any programming - from Raining Data. It
met my needs at the time, but you'd probably want to focus on unibasic
if you're a programmer. 

On another note...don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I
took a system builder class from Kevin King, and it was EXCELLENT.
Regardless if your application is built on SB, he's also a great
resource for UniData. If you like, contact me offline, or try:

RE: [U2] Timeout settings for a phantom job?

2004-11-10 Thread Alfke, Colin
Do you mean no error on the screen, in the error logs, or in the _PH_
file for the phantom process?

The _PH_ file is the best place to look first for any notifications.

We run a number of these that can run for over 8 hours overnight.
Generally the only two problems we have that cause it to stop are the
backup process locking a file that the phantom process is trying to
write to - this is in the _PH_ file. The second is the server (or just
UniData). You should be able to see this in the server logs. (on NT you
can quickly check the last boot time with net statistics server | more

 Oh yes.  That is the limitation on 32-bit Windoze.  Your numbers WILL
 differ on UNIX systems.
 
 
 At 02:36 PM 11/10/2004, you wrote:
  I ran your code on UV 10.1 on AIX and the highest number generated was

  UV 9.6.1.3 on NT.
  I needed to generate some random numbers between 0 and 370570, and just to
  check the distribution of numbers, I ran this snippet of code:
  
  FOR I = 1 TO 99
 THIS.NUM = RND(370570)
  NEXT
  
  What's odd is that no matter how many times I run this, the distribution of
  numbers is always completely in the lower 10% of the range (approx). In
  other words, there are never any numbers generated higher than ~ 33,000.
  
  Am I doing something stupidly wrong?

Re: [U2] PICK Assembler Language

Unlike yesterday's systems, do you feel it necessary today? I can easily do
it in PROC but now-a-days there's so much EXECUTE/DATA statements that it
may be harder to program than letting a single SELECT process.

Just Curious.

Re: [U2] PICK Assembler Language

2004-11-10 Thread Mark Johnson
Since we're on MVBase I have a bone to Pick (no pun intended).

Is there any upgrade to their command stacker. It's pathetic, especially
since it retains every executable statement, not just the ones I type. Thus,
it very easily exceeds the display (20) and I spend more time finding the
previous statement that it would take typing it.

just asking.

  Ultimate, where Ult ran NATIVE under it's own virtal machine ..

  If you make an exception for Ult on VM, then you make the exact
identical
  exception for MvBase on Windows.

 I corrected myself to say CAN MvBase run as the ONLY O/S, whether or not
 it's running in a VM

 I gather from Brian's last post that it can't ..

RE: [U2] [UV] Random number (RND()) help

2004-11-10 Thread Barry Brevik
Workaround is something like 32768 * Rnd(32767) + Rnd(32767).

Wouldn't that be *unlikely* to generate numbers less than 32767? Or at least
they would be statisticlly skewed away from that lower range.

Maybe something like (for numbers between 0 and 370500):

ITERATIONS = 1
RND.MAX = 370500
RND.MULX = INT(SQRT(RND.MAX))
RND.ADD = RND.MAX - (RND.MULX * RND.MULX)
LOW.FACTOR = (RND.MULX + RND.ADD) / RND.MAX
IF LOW.FACTOR LT 1 THEN LOW.FACTOR = 1
FOR I = 1 TO ITERATIONS
  IF LOW.FACTOR THEN
RND.NUM = RND(RND.MULX + RND.ADD)
LOW.FACTOR -= 1
  END ELSE
RND.NUM = (RND(RND.MULX) * RND.MULX) + RND.ADD
  END

Re: [U2] [UV] Random number (RND()) help

2004-11-10 Thread Results
Workaround is something like 32768 * Rnd(32767) + Rnd(32767).
  

Wouldn't that be *unlikely* to generate numbers less than 32767? Or at 
least they would be statisticlly skewed away from that lower range.

Actually, it wouldn't skew at all. Here's a simple example to prove that 
32768 * Rnd(32767) + Rnd(32767) is almost the right formula. The right 
formula is 32767 * Rnd(32767) + Rnd(32767)

If we take a generator which can only produce numbers from 0 to 4 
(easier to grasp and chart). The equivalent formula would be: 5 * 
Rnd(5)  + Rnd(5). This produces:

XValue = 5
YValue = Rnd(5)
ZValue = Rnd(5)

XValue YValue ZValue Result
 5  0  0  0
 5  0  1  1
 5  0  2  2
 5  0  3  3
 5  0  4  4
 5  1  0  5
 5  1  1  6
 5  1  2  7
 5  1  3  8
 5  1  4  9
 5  2  0 10
 5  2  1 11
 5  2  2 12
 5  2  3 13
 5  2  4 14
 5  3  0 15
 5  3  1 16
 5  3  2 17
 5  3  3 18
 5  3  4 19
 5  4  0 20
 5  4  1 21
 5  4  2 22
 5  4  3 23
 5  4  4 24

Each number can only be generated by one combination. So long as XValue 
= The highest number you can generate + 1.

RE: [U2] UV 10.1.2 ?

2004-11-10 Thread Dennis Bartlett
We're on AIX 5.2 UV 10.1.2...

when we upgraded
- we lost the  one usually gets when having a select list
active ...
- uvlictool no longer just cleans locks - it completely loses
all trace of logged in users

The lictool thang only becomes an issue at crisis time, but the missing
chevrons () often catch us out waiting forever for a list to
complete when it has already done so (instead of showing , it merely
has a blank line)

We're seriously looking at going 10.1.4 which supposedly (do I sound
cynical? sorry!) fixes the lictool thang... (if we can get such a beast
in South Africa!)



[snip]

 Our server is running AIX 4.3.3 and I'm upgrading to 10.1.2. Is there
 any known gotchas with this combination that I should prepare for, or
 avoid by holding out for 10.1.4 or newer?

 Thanks,
