Re: [U2] UV - Files Stats Question

2007-08-25 Thread Ray Wurlod
Run ACCOUNT.FILE.STATS ALL LOCAL in the account.  This will run FILE.STAT (or 
ANALYZE.FILE as appropriate) and make various other calls to gather all the 
information you need into a file called STAT.FILE.  You can query this file 
with the usual query tools.  (As a bonus, you get a map of device and inode to 
filename, useful for determining the file in which a locked record occurs, as 
reported by LIST.READU command.)

Re: [U2][UV] Up casing Login IDs {unclassified}

2007-08-25 Thread Ray Wurlod
Given that the purpose of UV.LOGINS is to map all possible login IDs (user, 
machine\user, domain\user) to one user ID, why not copy the upper case ones to 
lower cased equivalents in UV.LOGINS?

Re: [U2] U2 University

2007-08-25 Thread Ray Wurlod
Until recently I wasn't sure where I'd be on the planet when these things were 
scheduled.  Now that my own schedule has firmed up I can advise that I am 
enrolled for the Sydney event.

There's never really been one before, so it's hard to comment.  Last year it 
was part of the huge Information on Demand show in Anaheim, and kinda got 
buried among all the other products.  The standard of the U2 presentations was 
good, however, and you get to take a shot at the certification exams without 
having to pay!

The only bit of advice I would have is to bone up on current terminology, for 
example it's now U2 Web DE rather than RedBack.

Nice idea, though I believe my heavy-duty spam filters must be working - I get

I get about 10 a day, but 95% of those end up in my ZoneAlarm junk mail or

Subject: [U2] UV - Files Stats Question

I need to select files in an account and determine if all the records
fall
in the 200% groups. This will be done in a Basic program. Other than
FILE.STAT each file and examine the output, can it be done simpler ?

Also if anyone is using FAST, can you tell me where FAST keeps the list
of
files under its control ?

Thanks,

We create new files from time to time, and forget to add them to FAST to be
resized. We are planning to look at the files in an account, and if all the
group are at 200 % and the file is not currently being review by FAST, add
it to the FAST files for resizing.

RE: [U2] UV - Files Stats Question

2007-08-25 Thread Jeff Fitzgerald
I see where you're coming from, but I'd steer you away from that
approach for a few reasons:

1)  Even if a file isn't badly in need, you'd like to have it run
through the FAST Gather Statistics process -- that checks the file for
integrity, makes sure it is not damaged and creates a descriptive record
in the FAST database so that the file is included in reports, etc.

2)  All groups being in overflow to the 200% level isn't a valid rule
to determine whether a file needs resizing.  It quite common to see
files with quite a few groups either empty or sparsely populated while
many other groups are badly in overflow.  This becomes especially
apparent if an inappropriate file type is in use or if the file doesn't
hash well.

3)  Why reinvent the wheel when you already have FAST which is pretty
intelligent about determining if the file needs resizing?

We have just completed a new release of FAST, release 6.  It has a
feature that will help your situation.  Our expert mode executable,
fastbatch, has a new option -acct xxx -- xxx can be an account
pathname or the name of a list of accounts.  FAST will, at run time,
create a dynamic list of all hashed files in the account(s) and process
them.  This allows you to run the Gather Statistics and Type Analysis
processes and make sure any new files are picked up.  Then after
reviewing the FAST recommendations you can either resize according to
FAST's recommendations or override / modify as you wish.

Assuming your maintenance agreement with us is current you can order the
upgrade to the new release via our website at no charge.

If you don't think this will work for you, let me know via private email
and I'll try to further assist if I can.
