RE: [U2] Dynamic Files
My 2 Cents, Split load, and merge load are set to 60/40 by default for KEYONLY dynamic files. That is to say when 60% of the group is filled with keys, it can split. (Note that actual condition on when the spilt occurs takes more things into consideration). So splitting of groups will create more groups (and more frames that can have unused space). Yet for performance, you must consider the direct reads and writes. The more items per group the higher the potential for overflow groups. (And yes, dynamic file have overflow groups) In the case where we use the default 60/40 spilt, we have more items in a group then can fit in the first block of the group. (unless the ids of the item are much larger then the data in the item) Thus the majority of the data portion of the item is in another frame. You can minimize this by either lowering the split/merge factor for the KEYONLY items, or switch to the KEYDATA method. Note this will cause an interesting issue. Your selects may take longer. A Dynamic file with an improper split/merge loads will experience the same issue as a poorly sized static file. 'The simple select will run faster, but reads and writes will take longer.' This is due to the amount of reads required to gather all of the ids. If the ids are in fewer groups, the system will read through them quicker then if they were spread out in a properly sized file. It is better to properly size the file then add indexes then to have an improperly sized file. Note I can ramble on for hours more on the topic, but will stop it here, and see if anyone actually got this far in my message. As for the suggestion to change the hash type, a good way to check is to copy some items (I usually do 100) into a test file, and perform HASH.TEST twice on them, and pick the type that has the lesser amount of Empty Groups.

Re: [U2] Dynamic Files
This may help (or perhaps not) In teaching Unidata courses I have heard several comments over the last year or so about large dynamic files that have apparently stopped working correctly. The two that I have been able to examine in any detail both showed that the system appeared to be splitting groups when it did not need to, resulting in vast amounts of dead space and an average load a long way below the merge load value. Unfortunately, I do not still have the analysis as this was left with the customer to forward to IBM for further investigation. It looks to me as though there is a bug there somewhere but, because IBM do not publish any detailed internals information for Unidata, it might just be a problem with the underlying principles. In general, a dynamic file will never be as good as a perfectly tuned static file but it should be better than a static file that has been allowed to degrade through lack of retuning. Personally, I am a great believer in dynamic files and rarely use static files when working with UniVerse. We have a UniVerse client with an application that has over 100,000 dynamic files (honest!) and has never experienced a problem. Ok, most of these files are small and only a few are in use at any time. Because of the above mentioned issues, I am more wary of dynamic files in Unidata.

You don't say what version of UniData you are on but I am going to make an educated guess that it is an older release. I am also going to guess that you used the default hash type when you created the file. My last guess is that the file currently is a hash type of 1. Do a GROUP.STAT filename This will quickly tell you at the top what hash type it is. Years ago, when this was the default, people were getting horrible hashing when creating dynamic files. They end up with all these empty groups and huge files that continue to split. This was so much of a problem, that they (Ardent/Informix) then made hash type 0 the default. Remember, you can always specify the hashtype on file creation to override defaults.

As you suspect, there is a difference between the way UDT and UV handle this. Or more specifically, UniData offers an option not available in UniVerse. When you create or configure a dynamic file, you can instruct it to use either KEYDATA or KEYONLY determination. KEYDATA acts the same way as UniVerse in that the size of both the key and the data are used in determining whether to split or merge. If you use KEYONLY, only the size of the keys is used to make the decision. UniData stores the keys and pointers at the beginning of a group, and the records are stored at the end. If you use KEYONLY with a high split load, you could end up with only keys in the physical block, with all of the records in other blocks. A low split load with KEYONLY will cause it to keep the records more local to their corresponding keys.

Re: [U2] Dynamic Files
However, the few files I have moved to dynamic hashing are rediculous in size. I'm obviously setting some file parameters wrong, but would like insight from anyone who has good luck... The file STC.HIST as a dynamic file takes up 4.3Gig of disk space. It has around 944,000 records, a blocksize of 1024 but a modulo of 4,000,000+ When I convert this to a static file, I can properly size it with a modulo of around 94,000 which takes up a mere 75Meg. I've tried changing split/merge loads from the default of 60/40 to 20/10. I've tried playing with the minimum modulo A couple of questions: UD or UV? If UD, dynamic KEYDATA or dynamic KEYONLY? Unidata, Keyonly And what is your average record size in the STC.HIST file? Also, I am guessing that as a history file, it is going to continue to grow, so how about GROW as the minimum modulo? We purge records in the file after they're 1 year old (if nobody's asked or questioned student registrations in a year - well after a course has ended) then they can safely be purged. We do this regularly so the file will not continue to grow. -- Jeff Butera, Ph.D. Administrative Systems Hampshire College [EMAIL PROTECTED] 413-559-5556 Hindsight alone is not wisdom. George W.

RE: [U2] Is a dynamic array empty or not?
Hmmm... That leads to an interesting idea. If you consider a space to be
'something', then test.1 is really the only 'empty' array, and the following
would work, without doing any trims or conversions:
IF SUM(SUM(NES(TEST.x,REUSE('' THEN (string is not empty)
You could also make it work, considering spaces to be empty by amending it
thusly:
IF SUM(SUM(NES(CONVERT(' ','',TEST.x),REUSE('' THEN (string is not
empty)
Remember: eschew obfuscation ;-)

RE: [U2] Is a dynamic array empty or not?
From: Ray Wurlod Len(Convert(@AM:@VM: , , DynamicArray)) = 0 Exactly. Len(X) is cheaper than (X=). Furthermore, since all parts of the double concatenation @AM:@VM: are constants, both those operations get evaluated by the compiler and the single hardcoded resultant string makes it into the object code. So there aren't runtime concatenation operations. This is true for UV Basic compiler, but not for I-descriptors. Don't know about UD. For that matter, the EQ operation in Len(...) = 0 may be unnecessary since Len(...) can be treated as either true or false all by iteslf. Sure, hardware is cheap, but you might as well be efficient when there's no downside. cds --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

[U2] [UV] SOAP interface
I have the following program which I am testing to try and connect to a
webservice to gain understanding about how this all works and what is and is
not possible.
I run and rerun the program over and over without logging off, and get a
variety of results with the SoapSubmitRequest returing either a 0 or 2, mainly
2 which is a timeout. The Soap status, is either 200 (OK) or 100 (continue).
As you can see the first run time outs, timeout set to 1000ms, but the response
does get logged in the protocol log, with the following entry:
02/02/2006 13:50:22 readSocket 1: The virtual circuit was terminated due to a
time-out or other failure. The application should close the socket as it is no
longer usable.
I believe readSocket is an underlying UV socket library call. One question I
have is what is the application, is that UV, is that my basic program, and how
can I close the socket with the SOAP api, or should I use the socket API, in
which case do I use the SOAP api handle?
Then without doing anything else, the second run works ok, but the third one
does not. This is a basic webservice both on the same machine, and even when I
set the timeout value to 3ms is still timesout more often than not. Once I
have this webservice ticking over reliably, I will expand what is does, but
this is just a proof of concept as to what sort of throughput I can expect.
Has anyone found some better documentation or examples than the minimal amount
in the BASIC extensions, about how this all works.
Any input into or guidance as to what I may be doing wrong would be greatly
appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil
