These are all extremely informative and lovely pieces of information (no, that's not sarcasm):) With nice Unix information that can even be applied to Windows with some thought. However, I too am curious about the Server 2003 VSS (not *nix, sorry!). Running it cannot cause corruption to the Unidata files even while people are logged in -- is that correct?

Hi JayJay The transaction processing will not write incomplete transactions to the disk file at the time of suspend.file protecting transactional integrity.

RE: [U2] [BB] Does UD need the equivalent of uv/errlog?
quote who=Hennessey, Mark F.
While I'm not a UD user, I should think that it would benefit from the
errlog function. But everyone would benefit by making it smarter... I
would like to be able to configure it similar to syslog. I'd like 'low
grade' errors either logged elsewhere or not at all... Usually half of
my error log is generated from menu errors: Invalid command. Type
? for help. Usually someone has put a book on their Enter
key
Right now the only configurable option is the number of lines before the
log rolls over. I'd like to have the option of pushing the error
messages to the syslog service, where I could then do with them what I
like.
I've included a program below that runs every day on my system where I
strip out anything in the errlog file I don't want to see. I hope it may
be of use to you. The 2 included files have to do with printer formatting
and other common variables that should be self explanatory. They might not
even be used as they are included in just about every program I write. Oh,
and sorry about the wrapped lines.

Re: [U2] UniData and Shadow copy on Windows 2003
This is discussed at U2 University during my presentation. I highly recommend that you all attend. Also, the description stated UniVerse and not UniData, so I changed it. Most people are skewed to only looking at their DB of choice. JJUser asked However, I too am curious about the Server 2003 VSS (not *nix, sorry!). Running it cannot cause corruption to the UniData files even while people are logged in -- is that correct? VSS is unproven at this point in time. To be specific, I don't think it would be valid for one thing... When a file extends for overflow or a dynamic file extends. At that specific point in time, there are a number of writes that would change the STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY of the file. Should not all of the writes make it to disk, the file would be broken. JJUser asked do the dbpause/dbstart or SUSPEND.ON/SUSPEND.OFF commands ensure structural integrity to some extent? dbpause/dbresume ENSURE Structural Integrity!!! This is your only method to ensure a complete valid backup of the system. dbpause suspends all writes and initiates the sync daemon (or the equivalent command in Windows) to flush all unwritten writes to disk. It does not continue to the next statement until this has been accomplished. Like I said, exact details are covered in my U2 University presentation.

RE: [U2] UniData and Shadow copy on Windows 2003
I thought that VSS took a point in time snapshot of the entire volume. That any transactions would be read/write by the OS, and the VSS reader would read the before data if you will. From what I can tell the only drawback is the fact that IBM has not integrated the DBPAUSE into a VSS driver for the Windows platform. (Which from what I read is similar to what happens on other database platforms when the VSS is engaged) My understanding is that other database providers integrate this to cause the data flush to disk before the snapshot occurs, and to suspend any new transactions until the initial snapshot transaction completes. I would like to see IBM put some engineering into this in a future release to integrate it a little better on Windows. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Warning: global CTLGTB file path(VOC pointer file) is different than current Unidata home path, cannot global CATALOG/MAP in this udt session. : This is an install of an existing system onto new servers and I am trying to clear up the command line issues. Thanks for any insight you may have on this. Steven R. Christensen DBA, AMSOIL INC. Steven, At ECL (the colon prompt you show above) after you get that error message, type CT VOC CTLGTB, and compare the path in the line after the line with a single F (which will be something like \unidata\ud51\sys\CTLGTB - you want to look at everything up to the \sys\CTLGTB) to the path in the message above (e:\unidata\ud51\). I have found that omitting the drive letter, even if it technically points to the same place, will result in that error message. Example: CT VOC CTLGTB CTLGTB: F \unidata\ud51\sys\CTLGTB \unidata\ud51\sys\D_CTLGTB The system will pull \unidata\ud51, which, when compared to the UDTHOME e:\unidata\ud51, will result in that error message. To change the VOC pointer for CTLGTB, you can AE VOC CTLGTB, hit enter twice to get to line 2, then R2/whatever-the-wrong-path-is/@UDTHOME (eg R2/unidata\ud51/@UDTHOME) After that, you should see something on line 2 like @UDTHOME\sys\CTLGTB and line 3 should be @UDTHOME\sys\D_CTLGTB - type FI to save it, and then type LOGIN to go through the login procedure again and verify that you do not get the error. The advantage of using @UDTHOME in the path is that you will never have to fix the path in the file pointer again if you move machines - it will use the @UDTHOME to pull in the matching path.

RE: [U2] resolving udt error message
[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christensen, Steve Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2007 17:30 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] resolving udt error message Can anyone clue me in on how to resolve this error (step-by-step)? When going to the command prompt and starting udt I receive the following error: UniData Release 5.1 Build: (2189) Copyright (C) Ardent Software, Inc. (USA) 1998 All rights reserved.

Thanks for any insight you may have on this. Steve, This is because the VOC pointer for CTLGTB is not pointing to a CTLGTB file or directory beneath the sys directory in e:\unidata\ud51; it is pointing elsewhere. UniData expects CTLGTB to exist in e:\unidata\ud51\sys; your VOC entry should have e:\unidata\ud51\sys\CTLGTB in field 2, with e:\unidata\ud51\sys\D_CTLGTB in field 3. CTLGTB will not be the only afflicted file in the VOC; there are 5 or 6, maybe more (depending on the features you use). It does not prevent you from accessing ECL in UniData, so you should be able to search your VOC for the 'old' UniData home directory and affected file pointers, then use an editor to change the 'old' UniData home directory to the new.

CT VOC CTLGTB This VOC pointer should reference a file under %UDTHOME%, if it doesn't, you get this error message. IIRC you can also get this error message if the VOC pointer for CTLGTB is actually an environment variable reference to UDTHOME - eg: F @UDTHOME\CTLGTB @UDTHOME\D_CTLGTB In which case you should just ignore the error message.

RE: [U2] [BB] Does UD need the equivalent of uv/errlog?
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stevenson, Charles Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 8:23 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] [BB] Does UD need the equivalent of uv/errlog? Is there a UniData enhancement request buried in the discussion below? UniVerse has a handy file called $UVHOME/errlog that logs runtime error messages (and a few things that aren't really errors) that normally appear on the screen or PH file of the user generating the error. It shows what, who, when, where the error occurred. Oddly, my UV install doesn't have an errlog file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cd `cat /.uvhome` [EMAIL PROTECTED] uv]# ls errlog ls: errlog: No such file or directory Is there a service that needs to be started in order to populate the log? -John --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

John, No, but you have to *create* the file before UV will use it (yes, I know it's nuts, but it's always been that way) Just touch errlog in the right directory.
