Hello All,

I visited a customer site the other day to find that our installation
person has installed the Universe software on an AIX server but not done
anything with the UVODBC.

I get an error from the client driver that the daemon isn't running.

I reported this to our installer and he pretty much left me to it
claiming not to know anything about it. Nice

My knowledge of installing Universe is limited to a couple of times on
an NT server, so this is being dropped on me and I need some advice.

Anyway, is anyone able to point me in the direction of information on
this please or able to point out what could be wrong here.

I have run the Config command and can see the UVODBC is installed and
licensed, but the client still reports it not to be running.

Thanks

RE: [U2] UVODBC on AIX

2005-10-31 Thread Peter Dick
The daemon that UVODBC on AIX uses is the uvrpcd and this is defined in
the /etc/services file.

The daemon should automatically start following a boot / reboot of the
server.

The UVODBC group needs to be included as part of the UniVerse
installation process.

It is also worth doing a netstat -a |grep rpc to see what state it is
in.

I would be inclined to change your installer and start using your
Support Provider! ;)

Our installer is a member of staff employed by us, I am sure a swift
kick when I next see him will make sure he keeps up with his
installations in the future so I don't look like an idiot when ariving
on site.

As for our support provider, I think they (you) may be getting a call
shortly if this doesn't start working when I take a look at it.

Thanks

Have a look at the UniObjects docs on your client cd.  There are
examples in vb and java.  I've done links with vb6, c# and java.  It's
all good.

Hi David, 

Well basically all that we require is the ability to interrogate a SQL
Server and download any data that is applicable for updating on our UV
database, and then reverse the process going from UV to SQL server.

Thanks

Sunny.

Sunny,

SM I know this may have discussed before but has anyone developed a VB
SM interface between SQL Server and UV.

what kind of 'interface' are you looking for?  UV has a connection
that works well with SqlServer so possibly before we get a lot of code
generated you describe better what exactly you are looking to do

[U2] [UV] AIX Backup, Format Disk, Restore

2005-10-31 Thread gcanedy
Does anyone out there still do this (if you ever have)?

Take a backup of the file systems (in our case, AIX UNIX), format the disks
clean, then restore the data back down to lay it back contiguous.

Are there any (noticeable) I/O advantages to doing this for a UniVerse
database on today's servers?  Provided our files are properly sized, of
course.

Our Systems guys are itching to do this.

[U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File

2005-10-31 Thread Dave Taylor
We're using Universe 10.0.10.0 on Win 2000 Server.

I need to determine when a Basic WRITE Statement of a record to a Type 1 file
has completed so I can execute a subsequent action on the record written, but
not before all the data in the record has been written.

These can be large records requiring various numbers of seconds to write so
I'm uncomfortable  using a defined-length SLEEP command.

TIA,

Dave

RE: [U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File {Unclassified}

2005-10-31 Thread HENDERSON MIKE, MR
Dave,

It can take 'numbers of seconds' to write? Phew, they must be b--i--g
records!

Could you consider changing from WRITE to WRITESEQF?
And maybe from Type 1 to Type 19?

If the 'subsequent action' is inside the UniVerse environment, I would
expect that the program would access the copy buffered in memory anyway,
regardless of whether it had yet been flushed to disk.

If the 'subsequent action' is outside the UniVerse environment, then I
would hope that a WRITESEQF would not return control to the next
statement in the Basic program until the write was complete.  If Windows
lies to UV about that, and gets confused when another process tries to
access the not-quite-written data, hmm ...
You could try writing two files, one a flag, the other the data:
  - Write flag, status 'in process'
  - Write data
  - Write flag, status 'done'
And the consumer process waits on the flag 'done' before trying to read
the data.  That might serialise the I/O for you.


HTH

Mike

RE: [U2] Status of a WRITE to a Type 1 File

2005-10-31 Thread Kevin King
Do you have something external waiting on this record to appear?  If
so, you might consider writing out the record out under a temporary
name and then renaming it to a name that your watcher is looking for.
We do this all the time with drop file interfaces; write the record
with a .tmp extension and then change it to an .out extension (via
!ren) once the record has been completely written.  Your watcher would
then only pick up the files with an .out extension.

Possible?

Re: [U2] [UV] AIX Backup, Format Disk, Restore

2005-10-31 Thread Allen Bell
If you are using AIX you can gain pretty much the same defragmentation 
advantage, however slight it might be, by using the built in filesystem 
defragment on AX 4.x and above:


smit:
System Storage Management (Physical  Logical Storage)
   File Systems
   Add / Change / Show / Delete File Systems
   Journaled File Systems
   Defragment a Journaled File System

I haven't heard of anyone doing what you are describing in many a year.

Write a tag record and watch for the tag instead of the actual data
record.  When the tag appears, you're sure the related data record is
there.
