It'd also vote for FIBCDFN but ... I'm not certain it flushes the global
catalog space; I believe it only flushes the local catalog memory, does it
not?  The HELP NEWPCODE states:

The NEWPCODE command is effective only in the udt session
from which it is executed.

However, the help message continues:

You do not need to execute NEWPCODE if you globally catalog a program
because globally cataloging notifies the shared memory server that a new
version is available.

So if you're cataloging DIRECT, seems you might be in a pickle.

RE: [U2] VISTA and U2 Tools

2008-03-31 Thread David Jordan
Hi Brenda

Universe as a database needs to be Rel 10.2 to run on vista.  I have run the
latest versions of Wintegrate and dynamic connect and they work alright.
Uniadmin and webtools has a slight incompatibility with the screen
resolution, and Vista down scales resolution to cope.  You may have to run
some applications as administrator to make them work.  Also look out for
some VB6 applications may stop working.

Be careful of the VPN gotcha.  Vista does not support MSCHAP1 and many
VPN/routers do not support MSCHAP2, hence vpn does not work in some cases.

We use VOC.

When releasing rev 15 of this program, just bump-up the R number in VOC.

It is prudent to insure that new revisions of programs compile properly
first so as not to whack users.

I wrote a little change control program that helps to keep track of changes.
I suppose that I could send it if there is interest.

Re: [U2] RE: UNIDATA 7.1 performance measures

2008-03-31 Thread Scott Richardson

As far as removing the AV altogether?
One reason (in Microsoft at least), is file system filter drivers.
AV applications, and many other applications, are adding these "fsfd's" into 
their products. Another reason, on any platform, is the intense and constant 
struggle & constraint  for server platform resources between the number of 
applications Server paltofrms are running these days:


- File system fragmentation.
- "Un-Delete" applications.
- Anti-Virus Applications.
- Security applications.
- Various "snap shot" technologies.
- Backup products.
- Replication products.

Low overhead, detailed performance monitoring, 24x7x365, tells you all these 
things and more, not only in U2 but across the entire application server 
technology spectrum.


Remember when application servers had scheduled downtime, for periodic 
platform maintenance? Disk integrity checks, defragmentation, etc? Patches 
and updates applied?  These days, it can almost take an act of congress at 
some places to get a server reboot accomplished.


Remember when hardware vendors ran industry standard benchmarks and 
characterization - simulation testing, to push Systems / Servers under "real 
life application" load to see how to best, code, configure & tune them?


Seems like these functions have fairly much fallen by the wayside, left to 
the individual company/organization, due to the uniqueness & peculiaralities 
of "your actual mileage may vary", and explosion of technology that has 
occurred over the years. This is not a bad thing, necessarily, but how does 
a company / organization or indivdual go about such montioring, in any given 
environment, be it production or pre-production, without the overhead of 
such montioring interfereing in the performance of the platform?


How does one know, in their specific environment, with their given hardware 
platforms, network configurations, user loads, and data set sizes, and 
operational business dynamics, what is "normal" performance, what is 
bottle-necked or throttling server platform performance, and why? It is 
predictable? Is it a problem that can be fixed, re-coded, adjusted, tuned, 
or configured better? More hardware required? What is the "cost" of running 
multple applications at once and where/when do they "conflict for 
resources"? What resources? Why?  How does my Windows application server 
platform performance compare with a similar Linux or other Unix platform 
performance, "apples to apples"??  Can my current application server 
platform support our anticipated growth ? How much will running "month-end" 
impact our normal business processing cycles?


It's always a lot easier when debugging any problem, tuning any application 
or server platform, or explaining / justifying capital expenses, (or even 
justifying a reboot!), to have easy to see/understand detailed graphical, 
factual and specific current real-time data to help point out the 
operational dynamics of any problem in terms everyone can see/understand, 
and then pro-actively monitor and verify as time moves forward, in real 
time, and changes are made in hopes of alleviating or resovling the problem. 
Have proof positive that your suggestion or changes did indeed identify 
and/or resolve a problem.


Coming from an operational, uptime, and perfomance minded "server platforms 
used in business" background, I can not understand why 
companies/organizations/individuals would not want/need/require such data 
pro-actively, to continually improve, justify, and ensure that your 
technology infastructure is delivering all it can, 24x7x365.


/ad on
Performance Montoring technology exisits to allow very similar, very 
detailed server wide and process level montioring of numerous diverse Server 
application platforms; hardware, operating systems and 
databases/applications - in one common interface, with extremely low 
overhead & foot print.


- multiple processors / cores
- distributed applications
- network configuration and throughput
- storage sub-systems
- Windows
- Linux
- AIX
- Solaris

One such performance monitoing application can be found at  deltek.us

Firstly, you should NEVER run AV software on a database server. It's known for 
causing performance issues. By all means run a scan on the database from a 
remote machine via a share ...

And you don't want it installed on the db server, because a lot of these things 
have a nasty habit of self-activating, or leaving dlls in the autoload, or 
whatever.

AV software mucks about in the guts of the OS, and caution teaches you not to 
trust it ...

presently are running UD on a Windows Enterprise server (SP2) with 16gig
of ram and 8 - 3gig processors. We have read through some MS Knowledge
Base articles that suggest a possible performance increase if we use the
/PAE and /3GB boot.ini switches. We were wondering whether anyone has

software vs. disabling them. Could/would you please share your rationale
for making that recommendation?

 The feedback I am getting as a result of this posting has been
incredibly helpful.

Ibd start by looking for specific bottlenecks.  Itbs too easy to see
one of the system constraints and assume that's your bottleneck (been
there). Run some mete

As others have said, see a specific bottleneck first then take it from
there.
Some suggestions on things to look at in Windows and hardware - I'm
assuming all the usual has been done inside UniData itself.

Anti-Virus software killing you?
REMOVE it first for the avoidance of doubt - then decide.  Donbt just
reconfigure or disable - REMOVE. Tweak afterwards - know whether itbs
worth tweaking first.

Paging (yes/no/how much)?

Disk performance
*read
*write
*wait I/O

Are you using RAID? 
Should be 0+1, try and avoid RAID 5
Use hardware RAID not software
Turn off read-ahead, optimise for random, not sequential Steps vary for
different SANS (Hitachi / Veritas / Shark etc).

If using an external SAN:
* has the memory battery failed? (turns off write caching - a killer)

Put paging space on a separate disk, and UniData TMP also.

* Do you have remote mirroring on the SAM turned on (requiring remote
commit on writes can be a killer).

If 3Gb is does turn out to be an issue consider Unix, much better memory
management. Linux on your x86 platform seems the logical move (same
hardware). You also get better CPU resource usage on Unix then Windows.
Memory could be a bottleneck for you, but Ibd be surprised. The usual
memory related issues I see on Windows (or Unix come to that) are due to
file import/export programs READING and WRITING truly enormous text
files from the O/S file structures. READSEQ and WRITESEQ are the cure
there/

Subject: UNIDATA 7.1 performance measures



Good Morning,



 We are a UNIDATA shop and presently we are struggling with identifying
the best way to increase the performance level of our environment. We
presently are running UD on a Windows Enterprise server (SP2) with 16gig
of ram and 8 - 3gig processors. We have read through some MS Knowledge
Base articles that suggest a possible performance increase if we use the
/PAE and /3GB boot.ini switches. We were wondering whether anyone has
deployed these settings before and if there were any problems that
resulted...with either the OS or database.



 Does anyone have any suggestions regarding ways to increase UD
performance levels in a Win2k3 environment?



Thanks in advance,

Rob Smith

We are getting new PC's soon and they will be coming with VISTA.  Has
anyone had any problems running U2 Tools, UniAdmin, UniObjects, etc on
VISTA?
