Re: [U2] Universe Triggers
However, before you can add or activate any triggers, you must GRANT GRANT privileges to the user Attempting to add the triggers while you are the user uvsql if you want that user to be able To add triggers, otherwise, you will have to be user uvsql for any trigger activity. I also found you can not have any , * or - in the filename if you want to add triggers to it, If that is the case, you must create a Q pointer to the file with a name that is acceptable. You can not add a trigger to a file that is a q pointer to another directory, UNLESS, you create The Q pointer as a F type Voc entry, and use the full pathname to the files - then it's not Technically a Q pointer, but still behaves like one! These were things that I had the most trouble getting over Also, make sure any files that the trigger program will need are accessable. So if you put a trigger On a file, and the trigger program opens FILE A, and your in Account A - you must make sure that FILE A can be opened in Account A. If you move to Account B and the file that has the trigger on And you have a Q pointer to that file, make sure Account B has access to FILE A otherwise your Trigger program will bomb out.

In many ways the landscape has changed but honestly it's still the same for many of the reasons you had for avoiding Windows in the first place. My approach is the be versatile and many of our colleagues do the same - just use whatever works in a given context and try not to lock yourself in to any one OS. While that does introduce a need to add more skills into the toolkit, overall it's not that bad. I have more issues shifting mental gears between MV environments than OS's. My rule of thumb is to use IIS when I need .NET and Windows tools but to use Linux when I need shell and common FOSS packages like Drupal, WordPress, Bugzilla, etc. I don't care if I should be able to run WAMP, most GNU-based FOSS these days is coded with prejudice against Windows and we simply need LAMP to run it. All in all, while I haven't settled on a single provider yet, I have tried services with Amazon, RackSpace, Dreamhost, and a couple others I can't recall. They're pretty much all the same except when it comes to support when you really need it - caveat emptor. There are a few companies in our industry who also specialize in hosting MV environments - take a look around. As far as hosting, root-access hosts are dirt-cheap these days, and most don't weigh you down with licensing issues anymore either. With the exception of MV DBMS vendors, most tier-1 providers recognize that they make more from having a 10, 100, or 1000 systems out there than they do trying to get a single site to pay for 10, 100, or 1000 licenses. (Rant on clueless MV marketing and industrial suicide omitted.) Finally, we're talking about doing business. If you're running a production server then your revenue needs to cover the total expense of doing business. You're not paying support fees, your clients are, and if that eats into your expected profits and budgeting then perhaps your business model needs a tweak rather than taking chances with lack of support. If you're not charging for services then you should consider a freemium model, as this is how other sites manage. If this is a totally unfunded operation then perhaps going with freeware is your best option. HTH T From Dawn Wolthuis We are nailing down costs from the hosting provider for each option. It looks like Windows 2008 Standard is less expensive per month than RHEL 6 with the hosting site we are using (primarily because of the $500 annual cost for RHEL). My colleague uses his own perl scripts with apache, so he is not excited about IIS. My only issue with IIS has to do with poor experiences to date, but when I check the date, it is somewhere around 2001. Perhaps I need not hold a grudge that long? cheers! --dawn ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Re: [U2] Universe Triggers
Dan, In addition to the other responses you have received, I suggest the following: 1. Have one master file trigger subroutine (globally catalogued) that calls subroutines (locally catalogued) tailored to individual files. This means you don't have to stop and restart Universe when a new trigger is required or a change to an existing one. If the master subroutine changes, you do have to restart Universe. 2. Use a control record that records the subroutine name and state of the trigger for each file having a trigger. 3. Use a program to change the state of a trigger, using the control records in 2 above. 4. Make sure all background processes that have a file with a trigger open are logged out when recompiling the subroutine for that file trigger. 5. Remember that you can't do anything to a file with an active trigger whilst in the RAID debugger (it will crash). Rather, if you are testing a file trigger subroutine, drop the trigger and use a trigger testing program that calls the subroutine after taking a copy of the record being changed, pausing whilst you change it in another session, and then resuming, calling the subroutine. If you would like samples of any of the software mentioned above, let me know, and I can send them to you.

Re: [U2] Universe Triggers
Ken, I am glad you raised the issue about debugging a program with a file which has a trigger attached. I have been on to UV (Vmark/Ardent/IBM/Rocket for ages about fixing this pushing for the ability to be able to step into the trigger code, but at a VERY MINIMUM being able to debug the program and perform the write on the file, and in effect step over the trigger subroutine and carry on debugging. The issue is the trigger subroutine cannot support input, so what UV have done is basically say you are using the debugger so you are inputting debug commands so you will abort. They need to turn this restriction off for debugging so that either of the above two scenarios is supported. In a Microsoft world I can debug anything through the connected world of web/databases etc..

We are encountering situations where the report appears to work normally but not all the data is written to Excel.
