Re: [U2] [UD] Killing a UO connection
We quite often get UO processes hanging on out udt box, deleteuser or kill -9 is what i usually do and they always hang around in listuser for atleast 5 mins - it is a real pain! From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bill Haskett Sent: 29 December 2010 23:15 To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [UD] Killing a UO connection Kevin: Thanks. I don't shutdown UniData (the -f is unnecessary (used only for stopud) and stopudt pid [pidM... pidN] will stop one or more unidata processes). When I use UniAdmin to Logoff a user there's approximately a 30 second pause between logging off the user/pid and the user disappearing from the LISTUSER command. I didn't realize doing this through UniAdmin could potentially corrupt files or interrupt writes! I'm not sure where I got the udtkill.exe information from but I substituted deleteuser for that executable. Only He knows if this will work properly! Thanks again, Bill Kevin King said the following on 12/29/2010 2:18 PM: Two things come immediately to mind... First, to force people off you're shutting down Unidata altogether? Seems a bit harsh, that's all I'm saying. Second, what about deleteuser instead of udtkill? I'm not a fan of deleteuser (because even the documentation says it can cause corruption) but that's the command that I understand is supposed to be used in place of UniAdmin to force a user down. Subject: [UD] Killing a UO connection Date: Tue, 28 Dec 2010 13:48:48 -0800 From: Bill Haskett wphask...@advantos.net To: U2 Mail List U2-users@listserver.u2ug.org I'm running UO for most of the connectivity to our application. Occasionally, a UO connection from DesignBais gets locked and I can only get rid of it via UniAdmin. I have a BASIC program I run to delete these connections and it mostly works. However, occasionally it doesn't. Here's the code in use in BASIC: IF OptionNos NE FORCE THEN PerformVerb = stopudt -f END ELSE PerformVerb = udtkill.exe END Supposedly this was supposed to do the trick, but it doesn't. Does anyone know what is used by UniAdmin to clear the connection so I can program it into BASIC?

Re: [U2] ViaDuct problem
Hi, in the UK it used to be ANJEC that supported ViaDuct, there used to be a nice man called Dick Chatter who knew it inside out, don't know if he's still there or if they still support it but it could be worth an Email. There web site is www.anjec.co.uk. How do I know this? I worked there for a short time... Cheers Les Sherlock Hewkin Senior Project Manager Finance HR Systems, I.T.

I hope this review will be helpful, by someone who has used them all. Back in the late 80's to early 90's I was a ViaDuct fan. Around 1994 I was introduced to wIntegrate and found it more capable. Around 1995 I was introduced to AccuTerm and I found a permanent home. AccuTerm is quite simply (IMHO) the best terminal emulator in the MV industry. It has a ton of features that every MV developer can appreciate. Just get it and start using it and you'll see what I mean. There is a helpful user forum, a lot of people who know it very well, excellent product support with rapid code changes if required, and you can get AccuTerm GUI training. No matter what you do, you're going to have to get away from ViaDuct, and if you go to anything else there is going to be a lot of conversion effort. This is the price that's paid for building so heavily into a specific product. For better or worse you'd do the same thing with AccuTerm but if you're going to get in deep with any product, this is a reasonable one. While I recommend AccuTerm GUI for a Pick developer who doesn't like to use mainstream tools, I personally don't think it's right business approach for a diverse end-user base. It's thick-client only and connects via Telnet or SSH. That is a fine solution for focused audiences. If you have any interest in an extranet or internet audience where a browser is used, then you may want to invest your time in mainstream tools. Personally I use AccuTerm all the time to get into all MV environments while I'm building browser GUI - these things are not in conflict. AccuTerm does have AccuTerm for Internet Explorer which is a plugin to allow browser users to access your system, but when people say they want a browser UI this isn't what they have in mind. Try it for yourself. I should also mention that the AnzioWin terminal emulator from Rasmussen Software (anzio.com) seems to be a more apples to apples competitor for SecureCRT. I wish I could take all the mainstream features of AnzioWin and mash them up with the MV-specific features of AccuTerm. I actually use both of these products, having used SecureCRT, Putty, and other mainstream options in the past.

Contribute! http://Twitter.com/TonyGravagno From: Harold.Oaks I've always considered AccuTerm the 'other' main player in the MV terminal emulator market, and thought about going to them but conversion of the programs to use their forms would be a lot of workwheras the code to run Viaduct forms is embedding subroutine calls in the Basic code. That is, they are quite different.

Hi Marc The solution is quite simple:- The following example uses /u1/uv for the UniVerse home directory and vt100 as the terminal type. Substitute in the correct information for your system. cd /u1/uv/sample /u1/uv/bin/uvtidc vt100 myvt100 vi myvt100 within vi, search for the string ( /$5 ) and delete all ocurrances. /u1/uv/bin/uvtic -a myvt100 HTH Caminiti, Marc wrote: We currently run viewpoint emulation, but there have been some requests to be able to connect to our system via an iPad.

[U2] [UV] PORT.STATUS questions.
Hello all, We are running Universe 11.1.17 on Aix 5.3. I use PORT.STATUS for several function within programs by capturing the output and parsing it. I have a couple of problems with this. First, only one user at a time can run the command and this causes random failure of the programs. Second, the output can vary depending on options and success or failure of the command. So, is there a callable routine to get the same info in a cleaner way? I need things like is port ### logged in or a list of ports logged in with a specific login id, etc. In others words, the same info but in a more usable format. Also, PORT.STATUS from within Universe gives an error for options like PID and FILEMAP but works ok from the AIX prompt, why? Thanks in advance, Don Robinson ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] [UV] PORT.STATUS questions.
Hi Don, It may be easier simply to add a program to the LOGIN and ON.EXIT paragraphs to maintain a file with the specific details that you want available. Also, PORT.STATUS from within Universe gives an error for options like PID and FILEMAP but works ok from the AIX prompt, why? These options are normally only present in the UV account VOC but there is no reason why they cannot be copied to other VOC files.
