Re: RES: [U2] Universe and triggers

2007-09-13 Thread Brian Leach

See point 6 on my post grin

It's not enough on a 24x7 site to just have a wrapper if the name of the 
subroutine doesn't change - UniVerse may still cache the object code in memory 
if the file is opened e.g. to named common.

So I hold the name of the routine to call externally, and have the master 
trigger read it. Then I can vary it when the subroutine changes (e.g. adding a 
version number to the end).

Brian


Oooo! Now there's a neat trick (excuse me, technique). I'd never  
thought of it.

Have you ever used Mark Baldridge's Profiler (Travels With Mark, on  
the IBM Developer Works site) to quantify what I assume is a rather  
trivial amount of overhead in the double call? If not, I'll take a go  
at it and report back. It sounds like a great technique. Thanks!

Re: [U2] Product Distribution Methods

2007-09-13 Thread Rex Gozar

Dave,

My company markets a Universe application too, and like your company we 
have developed our own server-side distribution methods.  When I think 
about the issue, it seems two-fold: (a) how do we get our software on 
the server in the first place, and (b) how do we keep it up to date with 
the latest and greatest?


If I've misunderstood the problem that you want to discuss, you can just 
stop here and delete this email.


(a) We actually keep our source code for our product in CVS, and we 
build new Universe accounts for our target platform.  That includes 
creating the files, loading the dictionaries and data, compiling the 
programs, etc. via our build scripts.  The resulting accounts are zipped 
or tarred to place onto distribution media.  We expect Universe to be 
installed separately from our product.


(b) Updates are a bit trickier, since they have to dovetail into 
existing systems that have been modified.  From CVS and scripts, we can 
generate patch files that can be installed.  The patch program can 
detect the conflicts, or otherwise install the newer software.  Right 
now, ours is an on-demand process, and would greatly benefit from a 
windows update type of automation.


Personally, I would welcome an open source approach.  As a community, we 
need to lower the barriers to entry in all aspects of U2 training, 
development, and operations.

[U2] U2U UK You Need to Be There (BTW Register Now and Win an IPod)

2007-09-13 Thread Jonathan D Smith
Hi All,

Following on from the successes of U2U in Denver and Sydney it's rolling 
it's way towards the UK and London. There are many reasons why you should 
be attending U2U but if need convincing here are some for you.

There are over 40 Technical Tracks from which everyone will learn, no 
matter what their skill or experience level.
It's a chance to meet the developers and engineers that you would not 
normally get.
It's a chance to see some of the new functionality and technology's we are 
adopting and putting into the products before they become formally 
released and as such you will have a chance to influence the direction we 
are taking with these.
Free U2 Certification tests in Administration and Application Development.
Now if that's not enough, anyone attending U2U in London will be entered 
into a draw for an Ipod.

All this for less than the cost of a formal training course ... what more 
can I say excellent value for money and you need to be there.

 Please note that Scott only asked for a single file...

 Runner Up:

 added DET.SUP, he would have been a Winner.  This would have avoided the

 Karl's entry would require you to press the ENTER key as the @ID and
 LASTATTRIBUTE were displayed for every record.  You would probably get
 sick of this after a while and enter a S to suppress the output when the
 PAK (Press Any Key to continue) prompt was requested.

 However, you would have to write a rather extensive PAragraph or PRoc to
 include ALL of the files.

 And the Winner is:
 Jerry Banker who stated:

 You can try doing a uvbackup on the file to /dev/null. When the file is
 backed up it checks the integrity of the file.

 uvbackup is the only utility that goes thru all of the files and reports
 on its integrity.

 uvbackup can be run with users on the system.

 The question that was not asked...
 Should I add the uvbackup on the file to /dev/null to my monthly
 processes to verify the integrity of the database?

 Best business practices state that this should be included every month.
 This is a more PC answer than HELL YES, We're talkin' Job Security!

I like ES because

ES knows about U2.  You can even find BCI installation document on their

We had been trying for about a week to get DataDirect (a trial version)

Because of that and its price tag, we looked for another product and
found Easy Soft.  We had the trial version of it up and working within
hours and the price tag is very nice compared with DataDirect.



We will only be using to from UniVerse to access a MicroSoft SQL for our

things, we will have to access the SQL with a batch process 2 times a

Just wondering if anyone has utilized it and had any issues with it that
we should be aware of in making our purchasing decision.

RE: [U2] Easysoft ODBC driver [ad/solution/sigh]

2007-09-13 Thread Janet Bond
Hello,

We have many products that will move data push or pull data to SQL Server, 
depending on the skill sets you want to use and your product roadmaps, this 
will determine the best product for your environment.

While it's possible to pull from SQL Server, you may well wish to control the 
push from a Universe/BASIC program.  In that case, FusionWare has a bridge 
product that allows you to use an API (BASIC Subroutines) to do the equivalent 
of BASIC's OPEN, READ, WRITE, DELETE as well as the equivalent of TCL SELECT 
and COPY, to/from SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL and other databases.  If pull 
from SQL is not what you are looking for, as we mentioned above, then we have 
other solutions that could help you, including FusionWare Direct ADO.Net 
provider.
[/AD]

Please contact me if you would like further information.

Thank you,

Janet Bond

You really don't need to push data from UV to SQL Server, you can pull it
at timed intervals (seconds to hours) and encrypt it for the transfer on
the way.  This can be done with UO.NET and other tools.  You also don't
need to hardcode SQL queries into your MV BASIC code.

The [ad]: Nebula RD sells mv.NET which is a solution that you have
probably not considered for this task, though it can be used to push AND
pull data for any connectivity application.  Feel free to contact me for
information about connecting your UV/UD system to anything, including
relational databases.

The solution: I have a simple demo ready for anyone who wants to see it
which populates SQL Server from any MV DBMS on any OS.  This isn't
productized, there's no need to productize something as simple as this.
It's pulling data from MV without putting SQL into the MV environment or
touching data or dictionaries.  The data is then put into whatever database
you want using whatever functions are available to the RDBMS.  I'm using
Insert queries to do the initial load and a Stored Procedure for the
updates - just to show it can be done.  The code can be used to push from
MV (over Win/*nix/Linux) or to pull from any middle tier server or
workstation.

I haven't done any optimization on it yet but so far I'm getting about 385
Inserts per second and 485 Updates per second.  That includes the time to
connect, sselect, transport, perform queries, and disconnect, and I'm
running this regularly with several thousand data items.  I'm only doing
one update at a time - someone with a clue might suggest updating 100
records or more at a time to improve throughput.  Using UO.NET into UV the
performance could be even better, I haven't tried yet.

As MV people we know how to code and manage our environments but we can
leave the RDBMS stuff to the RDBMS DBAs.  There's no need to hardcode SQL
queries into your MV application, buy a specific driver for some RDBMS, or
modify your MV data to look relational.

mv.NET is only $260 for a single runtime license.  If you are doing your
own development it's $635 for the developer license.  That includes 2
runtime licenses, so the net cost is only $135 for the developer license -
hardly taking anyone to the cleaners...  Compare that to the #899 for
something like the Easysoft ODBC-Oracle Driver which doesn't have a
fraction of the features.  Nebula RD provides the current version of all
demos for free but without support to Nebula RD clients.  Nebula
developers can work with clients to enhance the demos or develop new
solutions - this is where we derive our income, not really on sales of
tools.

More info about mv.NET starts here:
remove..this..pleaseNebula-RnD.com/products/

And now, the sigh.  Sigh.

Thanks for your time.

Join Steve Ritchie, VP of R/D and founding member of Market America to hear
about how Universe is being in numerous unique ways to run their company as
well as their growth financially and the steady buildup of their IT
department. Steve will talk about challenges with rolling out a truly
massive UniVerse project and about how the power of UniVerse has helped
propel Market America to a billion dollar company in 5 countries.

This is the project that elicited gasps at the U2UG Meeting at last year's
Cincinnati Spectrum show.

Our afternoon session will feature a technology preview from MITS looking at
some of the technology underlying the advanced features in the next releases
of MITS Discover and MITS Report.  Special thanks to MITS for making their

Re: [U2] [OT]

2007-09-13 Thread Dawn Wolthuis
Thanks for passing this along. What fun.

I have some greenbar downstairs with Primos COBOL using MIDAS files,
but I don't think I'll give it a spin.  It is 30 year-old code and I
had not even heard of structured programming back then.

Maybe the thing I was missing regarding threads on this list was that
one could put an [OT] in the subject line for items relevant to and of
interest to U2 users, but not about a specific technical question in
today's product.  Thanks for the illustration.  Maybe we can just kill
u2-community by using [OT] for such postings, as you have done here.
Cheers!  --dawn

RE: [U2] Easysoft ODBC driver - Anyone had any issues with it?

2007-09-13 Thread Shin.Tanaka
We have legacy CALLC functions using ODBC API.  One of our functions
uses SQLFetchScroll with forward and backward cursors.  Their ODBC
cursor implementation worked only when SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE was 1
(one).
That issue was found during my product evaluation time.  However, one of
ES Support engineers was very helpful and fixed it.

According to the UniData BCI document, SQLFetchScroll() is not
implemented.  If you use BCI as is, it shouldn't be a problem (lucky
you!).

BTW, I believe that the cursor implementation of the latest version of
ES Oracle ODBC driver works correctly.

We use ES Oracle ODBC driver.  We've been using it for almost a year
with UniData 6.1 on 64-bit HP-UX 11.11.  Before that, we were using Data
Direct sequelink.

I like ES because
* Cheaper than SequeLink
* Easy to install.
* and ES Support is very responsible.


ES knows about U2.  You can even find BCI installation document on their
site.  However, when ES asks you to send an example code for debugging,
you may need to write it in C, unless you give ES a right to access your
UniVerse machine.

RE: [U2] What is this error??

2007-09-13 Thread Womack, Adrian
Take a look at the ED code - it's in the BP of the uvhome account, named
ED.B

There's a bunch of code relating to CASE, and there's this mod line at
the top of the program:

06/01/03 E2835 LFD For 10.1 TCL Case Insensitivity project

So, I guess you can blame someone with the initials LFD ;)

But, what I can't believe is that some of you guys are still using ED.
Why? You must have access to something better than a line editor.

[U2] [UD] create file

2007-09-13 Thread Scott Ballinger
Hello group, I am a UV guy and I need some UD assistance.

In UV I can

OPENSEQ /path/file TO FV ELSE
  CREATE FV ELSE STOPM nope
END

Which will create the file if it doesn't exit, after which I can READEQ or
READBLK to my heart's content.

But UD dies at the CREATE statment.

Also, instead of READBLK WRITEBLK it is OSBREAD, OSBWRITE in UD, correct ?

In a Universe environment, (running either on Windows or *nix), does 
anyone know a fast way to determine the separation of a file?


Type, Modulo, etc are easily returned via the FILEINFO function, but 
separation doesn't appear to be retrievable that way.

RE: [U2] U2 University in Sydney

2007-09-13 Thread David Jordan
I recently attended the U2 University in Sydney.  I would recommend everyone
tries to attend whether end users, resellers or ISVs.

IBM U2 division have been putting a lot of effort into RD and there are a
number of new technologies that will change your thinking in development and
continued use of U2 into the future.

I will steal some of Susie's thunder and point out that U2 grew 14% last
year so this is not losing edger technology.  How many other database
vendors can talk about double digit growth?

The new IBM .Net provider for U2, allows you to do with U2 what you can do
with other RDBMS including store procedures, etc.   

The EDA facility to extend to other databases is looking very mature and
functional.

So don't miss out learning about these new products.

Regards

David Jordan

RE: [U2] [UD] create file

2007-09-13 Thread Larry Hiscock
There is no CREATE in UD.  OPENSEQ will open the file if it exists or create
it if it doesn't.  If it can't create the file, STATUS() will return a
reason why it can't be created.  In the ELSE branch of the OPENSEQ
statement, if STATUS() = 0, you can proceed to WRITESEQ (or OSBWRITE) to the
file.

Possible STATUS() values:
0 The record does not exist.
1 The file you specify is not a sequential-access file.
2 The file does not exist.
3 The READONLY clause was included in the command statement and the record
does not exist.
4 An unknown error occurred (such as having too many files open or
permission problems).


OPENSEQ '/path/file' TO FV ELSE
   IF STATUS() NE 0 THEN STOP 'UNABLE TO OPEN SEQ FILE'
END 

WRITESEQ test... ON FV ELSE STOP CAN'T WRITE TO SEQ FILE
WEOFSEQ FV
CLOSESEQ FV

OSBREAD/OSBWRITE is used for block oriented access.  If your file is
line-oriented, you can use READSEQ/WRITESEQ.  You can also use WEOFSEQ to
write an End-of-file marker to the file (and truncates it at that point)
before you close it (CLOSESEQ)

Hope this helps

If you can, send at least two people.  There are three tracks, each with 15 
sessions.  A few of the main ones are repeated, but one person can't learn 
everything he/she would want to.
It was a well put-together show, even if one or two of the presenters were 
overworked (at least for the Sydney show), and most of the attendees to whom I 
spoke went away with their brains bulging - if not hurting.
Also a great opportunity to catch up with the U2 community, who nowadays seem
