RE: [U2] How much RAM is too much
Charles, We are running an IBM xSeries with dual Xeons 2.5ghz and 5gb memory with 105 users all Universe (Linux) real time system, lots of files(type30), lots of activity and our response time is exceptional.

RE: [U2] Installing Printers on UV/AIX
Dave, Each printer we use is set up in the device file and the driver simply 'cat' s the file to the respective printer in the OS. I tried to spool something to a 'non Device file' printer and got a message 'Requested printer does not exist.' To make it easy, you could simply write a quick program to accept the printer name, file name, record name and do an EXECUTE that does an 'lp' command. This should do the trick nicely. This is the approach that I would take. Its simple. So you would end up with something like; AIX.PRINT my.aix.pdf.capable.printer INVOICE.ARCIVE 10298478.pdf Where AIX.PRINT is your program, my.aix.pdf.capable.printer is a printer set up in aix, INVOICE.ARCHIVE is a sequential file, and 10298478.pdf is the actual record that you want to print.

RE: [U2] [UV] SPOOLER
You might have to write some code to help manage this. I remember changing the permissions of the unix 'cancel' command so that anyone in a group could execute it. What I also do for these kinds of things is to have our batch processing program do the work. So, lets say you would have some kind of a 'gui' front end to build the command that you want to execute and then just hand if off to the daemon. The daemon would be running as root. Anthony We are in the processing of setting up a new system that we will be migrating to. It will be running 10.2 on HPUX 11.23. We are planning to stop using our network print server and spool through Unix directly to the IP address. Here is the challenge. Joe produces a quite sizable job to the printer. So, the UniVerse spooler processes the job and hands it off to the Unix spooler. At this point, the job is no longer visible to the UniVerse spooler. Since 'usd' is running with superuser level, the Unix print file gets created with the same security level. Joe decides to cancel the print job. He can not execute SPOOL -CANCEL because UniVerse is no longer cognizant of the file. He cant 'cancel' the job, because he does not have security level. Question: How to create a print job from UniVerse, so that the Unix print file will have an ownership/security that will allow Joe to cancel his own print job. Note: If you press the cancel button on printer, Unix seems to say 'oh, something happened to the printing, let me start over and print it again' Thoughts, ideas, comments, criticisms.

Anthony If you can ping the server then your routing is should be OK, especially as you are doing from the lnx box running Universe. A common problem is firewalls (esp. corporate rather than home linksys type ones) tend to limit outbound connections and only allow outbound connections to port 80 etc. One way to test this would be to do as David suggested and try to telnet to that port (telnet ipaddy port (e.g. telnet 123.456.789.100 8080) As you are on linux you also should have the excellent nmap tool. Try something like nmap ipaddy - you have to run as root to have access to some of the options but this will port scan the remote box and let you know the ports they are listening on. Note you may want to let the bank know as people can get a bit excited about port scanning as it is often the first step in a remote instrusion attempt.

[U2] Sockets Universe Question
Hello All, I need a kick in the right direction. We are for the first time doing some sockets programming. We are writing an app that will talk to a bank thru a tcp/ip connection. The line is in and tested. We are now trying to test the socket connection and we are getting errors. The error we are getting in the initserversocket is 36. This means that The specified address is not a valid address for this machine. So, our machine is lets say '192.168.1.1' and the bank is '123.123.1.1' port is 4215. Im know the server that I am trying to contact is not on our network. Our router should be handling that ? I have successfully ping'd the ip address of the bank. I don't understand what we are not doing on the Universe side. Is there a config file that we need to set up ? Any help is appreciated.

[U2] Universe INPUTCLEAR
Hello All, I have a strange situation going on with an Intermec CK30 terminal. We have an error message routine that clears the display, issues an INPUTCLEAR, then displays the error message, then issues an INPUT DUMMY,1 (press any key to continue). This is so that the user cannot bypass the error. What has been happening is that the INPUTCLEAR statement seems to have no impact on the typeahead buffer. The error message is not displayed. Somehow there is data in the typeahead. The error message routine appears to be skipped altogether. What is happening is that the there is still something in the typeahead when it gets to the INPUT DUMMY,1. In effect pressing 'any key' for the user. I changed the error message routine to do INPUTCLEAR, INPUT DUMMY,1 , DISPLAY ERROR.MSG, INPUT DUMMY,1. This works and only requires one key press (even though you all logic would make you believe it would require two). Very strange. Has anyone else encountered something like this. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks Anthony --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

[U2] OT: Email Attachment Universe Linux
Hey guys, We have a program that distributes information via various methods. One of which is to email the file as a PDF. So, one of our users was on AOL and then switched to Cox. They read their email via the cox webmail site on a browser. The problem is that the attachment is coming over as part of the message now and not as an attachment. However, if they use outlook as the email client, then the file is presented as an attachment. So, webmail client is doing something different than outlook. If I send an attachment to the person using outlook on my PC, then the attachment comes thru as an attachment on the webmail client.

Problem Solved; What happened was that the terminfo.src file was corrupt. Im not sure how this hsppened. I am the only one messing with things of this nature at work. I must have ftp'd or samba'd the file at some point and it took a whack. The other thing I missed was the '-a' in the uvtic command line. When it didn't work I was starting to feel a little panicky. The whole place here is pretty much dumb terminals and there was no terminfo defs. So, users were logging in and getting there menus and such displayed in a way that they could not read them at all. I started to think - this is the time that we are going to have some kind of system deadlock and I will have to log everyone out and then they wont be able to log back in, because the teriminal defs are bad. I just typed in the terminfo defs from a printout and got things bac to what they should be.

I am used to the changes. I dont see a problem with it. However, the traffic has seemed to drop. We could be missing out on some interesting discussion. The problem is that some people have a hard time adapting to change. I think the reply / reply to all is a nice choice to have. Sometimes you might want the choice to reply only to an individual. Personally, I probably would not have changed anything unless the problem experienced at first was a recurring. I dont go looking for bugs in my system if a user brings me a one time odd ball error. I probably would have tried to write a 'filter' that might eliminate messages with certain info in the subject or body. The problem that occurred could have been eliminated by adding that subject to your filter and those messages could have been sent to the bit bucket. If users on my system find a way to get bad data into the files, you fix the problem by tightening up the edits for the field entry. I see this stiuation as being very similar.

If you have some time, then write a merger program that takes the list names as parameters and a unique parameter. Use that to do all you merging.

RE: [U2] Unix Security
It looks good as long as your users are all part of the users group. You probably want to look at the umask options for users as part of the login paragraph. If a user changes a record and the files becomes theirs, then this is bad. I had something like this happen and I had to fix it by setting the umask in the login paragraph. I believe this was for type 1 files not static and dynamic. Im not a security expert, but I dont think there are any implications for print applications. I would think that as long as a user can read the file, then they could generate a report from it. What would be more important is if the user has rights to the spool directory and it doesnt sound like you're changing that, but you are changing the users group. Are you adding users to additional group users or are you changing the users group from test to users. Can the users group write to the spool directory ? Im not sure if this matters. When I look at this I ask myself what does this really gain you and is it worth doing the work (although I dont know how many files you're dealing with). Do you have 'others' on the computer ? Plans for 'others' ? Are the users all in the test group already and you have to change the group and then add all users to that group ? If you had to do a lot of work and there are no 'others' on the system, then the worst you could do is maybe screw something up and stop something that once worked from working. Thats my thinking - if it ant broke dont fix it and keep it simple. If you can try all of this out on a test system. Ive always read that when securing a system you should make it as tight as possible and then punch holes here and there only as needed. I find that myself I work backwards. I make everything 'open' so that everything 'works' and then I go back and tighten up things. I think this backward approach is more difficult. I am fortunate enough to not have a big security problem. Our server only runs Universe and everyone on it has access to every file and there are no special considerations. So, I can get away with this 'policy', but I know it isnt the best practice.

RE: [U2] Newbies need love too
You will probably find that it really isnt difficult to learn. I moved into my current job 12 years ago with absolutely no experience with Universe (actually it was PI/Open and then we moved to Universe). I learned it by just reading, playing on a test account, reading source code, and just getting thrown into the hot seat. I had about 10 yrs previous experience on other systems and databases before Universe. That makes it easier. You find that you are really doing the same thing using different commands. Once you are settled with things, you will find that Universe doesnt need a lot of baby sitting. The people on this list are a great help. There is lots of experience here and people are always glad to help. Dont be afraid to ask questions. Anthony -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

RE: [U2] [UD] BASIC LOCKs
I created a system of tracking background processes. I have a file PID, which tracks everything. When a phantom is launched it updates itself in the PID file via some routines I wrote to interact with this. I have a command that will show the status of all things in the PID file. When this command runs, it simply looks at the PID of said PHANTOM and it checks in the OS (we are on Linux) to see if it is running. There is more to it, but this is the basic concept. If you use 'LOCK' command, then you would use LIST.LOCKS to see if the semaphore is locked (we are running Universe). So I would say that this is really like a 'common' structure. There are 64 locks that can be used this way in Universe. We use these to ensure that a particular process is running only once. In our use of LOCKS we would do something like LOCK 5;do some processing; UNLOCK 5 and quit. However, if you use this and the PHANTOM dies I think the lock is still set. So this isnt a real fool proof way of doing this. PORT.STATUS will let you know if a PHANTOM is running, but you either have to be root or you have to change the permissions to allow you to see this. We have written our own batch processing system. For whatever reason, the batch processor dies on occassion. Because this happens, I have a cron job that runs every 5 minutes to check to see if the batch processor is running (via the PID file) and if it sees that it is not running, it kicks it off. Anyway, when I was struggling with a similar problem, I decided to put together our 'PID' tracking / control system. It seems that all the information is there for you to determine what you need to know. However, it isnt presented in a way that you would like it to be. So, you will probably have to take this and write your own 'value added' way of presenting what it is that you need.

RE: [U2] UV: LIST.READU question
Im not sure about the strings / list_readu. I would imagine that strings just filters our readable characters from the list_readu file itself not the output of list_readu (unless you are piping the output). I used to use strings on large (non text) error logs and grep for certain data. Sorry, but thats all I can offer on that one. What you have to try to do is to pinpoint the two process involved and fix the locking strategy. All programs should lock files in the same 'direction' and in the same 'order' For example if you are updating lines on an order I think it is good to lock the order header first (even if you are not updating the order header). So once you have the order, nobody else can touch the order or the line items, because thats the rules. If you dont do this, then one process could be updating the lines and then head for the order header to update say a status field while another process is updating the header and heading for the lines and then you have a nice little deadlock.

I use it here to update the weekly flyer on our web page (www.alperts.com/flyers/flyer.pdf). It puts the administration in the hands of our advertising dept. When they have the 'flyer' all completed, they send it as an attachment named in a 'special' way to a 'special' email address.

Unfortunaltely, the technical bulletin I have with the answer (for Linux anyway) is at work and I wont be there until Monday. The command was chmod. There may have been something else involved, but I know for sure chmod was involved to set the effective user id. Try a man page on chmod and see what the syntax is for HP.

[U2] User Name Change on Win XP affects Universe
Hey guys, I need a little help in the Universe/Windows world. My username on my laptop was 'Anthony Dzikiewicz'. I should know better than to put a space in there, but that's how I set it up. So, I was trying to connect to Linux machines on the network via Samba and I was having trouble. So, I changed the username on the laptop via the control panel. My new username is 'adzikiewicz'. I am now able to connect to Linux/Samba as adzikiewicz. When I go to log in to Universe (via telent to local host) on my laptop, it isnt working. It seems that I still have to log on to Universe as 'Anthony Dzikiewicz' (my old name) and not 'adzikiewicz' (my new name). Does anyone know how to fix this ?

RE: [U2] User Name Change on Win XP affects Universe
Thanks for the tip. I don't think this is the case here. I don't have any network passwords stored. I am using XP Home version on the Laptop. So, I have limited resources to modifying these kinds of things. All I did was change my name in control panel. Im not sure what Windows really does under the hood. When I connect to samba as 'adzikiewicz' it works, but when I telnet to my own machine (using Universe telnet ) it still wants me to be 'anthony dzikiewicz' and not 'adzikiewicz'. Normally, this wouldn't be a real issue. I can live with logging in as 'Anthony Dzikiewicz'. However, our applications do things in the login and on.exit paragraphs and in various applications with user name retrieved via @LOGNAME. When @LOGNAME = 'anthonylaptop\Anthony Dzikiewicz' it is awkward because of the space. Keyvalues with spaces are awkward to deal with.

RE: [U2] User Name Change on Win XP affects Universe
I found the answer to my own question. It turns out that in the control panel under administrative tasks, computer management, there is a Local Users and Groups tab. The users folder contains the a listing of users in the system. I was still set up as 'anthony dzikiewicz' on that list. The fullname value was 'adzikiewicz', but not the value of name. I changed the value of name to 'adzikiewicz' and now I am telneting to Universe as 'adzikiewicz'. The gotcha with this is; Although I can telnet as 'adzikiewicz' when I do WHO it still reports me as 'anthonylaptop\anthony dzikiewicz'. I had to reboot the PC in order for this to clear up. After reboot, everything is as expected. Seeing how long my name is to type, this is a substantial savings. I probably should have opted for 'tonyd' (but I really don't go by tony).

The documentation says that under BSD's, the pterm susp command is supported, but under sysV systems, the pterm susp command is not supported. How would I determine for sure whether it is supported or not on my live system? The problem is we are running the ADDS VP emulation, (for no reason apparent to me), and it sends CTRL-Z as the up arrow key. Linux traps that command as the suspend command in either telnet or bash before it gets sent to UV. On this list, Ben Rosenberg said the way to fix that is to run pterm susp off. He also mentioned another way, but that requires setting the linux user shell to bash, but our software vendor wants the linux user shell set to mv. After setting the linux user shell to mv, we can't run the linux comand: stty susp ^-.

I found that you can run a unix/linux command from the uv environment by running sh -c command. In the LOGIN file, or at some similar point, we are going to put this command. sh -c stty susp '^-' We do something similar. In the LOGIN para, we run a program GET.TERM.TYPE. This program determines the TTY and sets the terminal characteristics. We maintain a control file of all our terminals (term type, baud rate, printer is attached, what digi they are plugged into, etc...). We use this control file for many things in our applications. On our Adds 4000 terminal the up arrow returns SEQ(26) - 'SUB' The sh -c stty susp '^-' is a good temporary solution, because it will get things done. Another way of doing the same thing is via the inittab file. For example here is a snippet of our inittab setting serial port characteristics; dA3:2345:once:ditty-rp /dev/ttyA15 9600 cs7 parenb -parodd -cstopb You could put the stty attributes here as well. Also in the users '.profile', you could also set the same characteristics. I would think that you should be able to set that attribute in the terminfo (when you find out what the actual label for it is), compile it and be done with it forever. Make sure you change both Linux and Universe terminfo files. That tells the linux system to look for ctrl- as it's suspend key. I tested it and it works perfectly.

[U2] PDF Efficiency
Hi Craig, We are in the process of archiving our invoices. What we do is to create select lists for each year that we want to archive. One list for delivered sales and one for cancelled sales. We have a program that we run, which we have tailored to ask for the name of the select list to use, how many invoices to insert per pdf, and what to name the files. An example of a 'run' might be a select list of 13751 records that we break apart into 1000 invoices per pdf. This will create roughly 14 pdf files as follows; -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 838683790 Oct 27 17:27 2001C10.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 838683910 Oct 27 17:31 2001C11.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 838683973 Oct 27 17:35 2001C12.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 838684078 Oct 27 17:39 2001C13.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 456176662 Oct 27 17:42 2001C14.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 481813781 Oct 27 16:51 2001C1.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 668667955 Oct 27 16:54 2001C2.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 951514139 Oct 27 16:58 2001C3.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 944474386 Oct 27 17:02 2001C4.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 944474404 Oct 27 17:06 2001C5.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 944474552 Oct 27 17:11 2001C6.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 944474342 Oct 27 17:15 2001C7.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 875157293 Oct 27 17:19 2001C8.PDF -rw-rw-rw-1 anthony anthony 838683793 Oct 27 17:23 2001C9.PDF As you can see, the files are pretty large for the content of the pdf.

RE: [U2] [UV] AIX COPY TO SAMBA DIRECTORY
If the SAMBA crosses the network, then I think you might run into UVNet issues. If it doesnt cause too much trouble, just create a type 19 file and put all the data that you want to off load there. Then you can archive the data at the OS level. I had to do something like this on a per record basis for a printing system. It wasnt a high volume of transactions. What I did was to write to the sequential file. After every write, I called a VOC record that moved the record at the OS level to the remote directory. Since this wasnt a mission critical operation, it was perfect for what needed to be done. If this was mission critical, then UVNet is supposed to handle locking and integrity and maybe worth looking at. If SAMBA is on the same machine, then just create a VOC record to point to the file.

RE: [U2] Universe running on Linux/SuSE
We have been running for just over a year. We converted from DG/UX (intel platform). We went from intel to intel, so we didn't have the 'endian' issues. I did recompile and catalog all code and recreate all indexes on our files for safe keeping. Printers were pretty much the same ol', same ol' we don't do anything complicated so it was easy. Cron is still cron. There was a bug in RHEL where cron had problems with daylight savings time. This was a big problem for us, because all of our nightly processing depends on cron. Im happy to say that it is fixed. Linux is just as stable as DG/UX. The only thing I can comment on is that DG/UX did not change and it was rare to get updates. Linux is updating all the time. So in that respect, I guess you have more opportunity to make thing unstable. Don't update unless you have to. We are running 10.1.1 and the only issue Im affected by is that you can no longer do a MASTER OFF ALL - it doesn't work.

The Universe/Linux OS release combinations we are initially considering are as follows: Universe 10.1.1 with RHEL V3 Universe 10.1.12 with SuSE EL Just wondering how many of you have gone through similar Unix to Linux OS changes? What issues should we be aware of prior to this change? More specifically: - Are there issues when converting Universe data files from Unix/Solaris OS to Linux? - Is there difficulty getting printers to function properly on Linux? - Are changes required to any scripts and/or cron daemons running scripts on Linux? - Has Linux proven to be more or less stable than Unix? - Has anyone had success running the Universe/Linux combinations listed above or had success running other combinations? - Any major issues with Universe 10.1.1/10.1.12? I apologize in advance if my questions are a bit too broad. I am simply interested in gaining basic knowledge on the feasibility of running Universe on Linux, and any pitfalls to be aware of. Any information provided will prove valuable as we continue our discussions on a possible move from Unix to Linux. Thank you in advance for your comments!

[U2] How to Default NO.RETURN.WARN in Universe
If anyone knows how to do this please tell. I have a bunch of programs that should have been written as subroutines, but were done as functions. In these programs, there are internal subroutines. So, in the program there are many RETURN statements. When you compile these programs you get a bunch of complaining about the RETURN. I want to turn off the warnings. I know that in each individual program I can do this by $OPTIONS NO.RETURN.WARN. However, I thought there might be a way to do this globally. I noticed in the docs that in the BASIC VOC record, you can set field 6 to certain defaults. It doesn't appear that NO.RETURN.WARN is one of them. Ours is set to PIOPEN.FORMAT. PIOPEN.FORMAT is a K record in the voc. So, I know this points somewhere that probably refers to a whole group of these $OPTIONS If so, what is it pointing to and can I tweak this by adding NO.RETURN.WARN to the PIOPEN.FORMAT options or is there some other way to get this done ?

[U2] CLEARINPUT - Universe
I don't know why I cant find the CLEARINPUT statement documented. Maybe it was a suggestion from the group way back when. We are working on a program that pops up error messages. I want to be sure that the users see this message. What happens a lot, is that our 'speed typers' are about 10 strokes ahead of the program. A lot of what they do is redundant and they arent always in the habit of paying attention to what is on the screen. So, I asked the programmer working on this to put a CLEARINPUT before the pop up messages. This way, the error message will have a better chance of being seen. I have used CLEARINPUT in the past and this statement is in a handful of existing programs. The programmer said she had never heard of this and when she looked in the manual and HELP BASIC CLEARINPUT. She didn't find anything. So, now Im wondering - how did I find out about this ? I looked in an old (real printed and bound) BASIC manual and I didn't find it. I looked in the PDF BASIC manual and I didn't find it. Actually, it is in the reserved word list. I would assume this is still a valid command - it does compile. Can anyone enlighten me ? My concern is that this could be an old command that was replaced by something new ? I don't want to continue to use something that might not be supported. Anthony --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] Off-topic? Problems with DigiPortServer - Win2003 server SP1 - Universe
How many digis do you have ? Is it all of them that are acting up ? If you only have one, then the possibility of a bad digi is not out of the question. Is something attached to the network recently that has the same ip as the digi ? Unplug the digi and then ping it by ip. I have always found digi support to be pretty decent. Is SP1 the last 'thing' that was installed on the server ? If so, maybe there is a compatibility issue. I would undo it (if that's possible and if you don't really need it for anything else).

RE: [U2] How to find user ID by the USER No. returned by STATUS() function
What I have done is to put a program in the LOGIN and USER.EXIT that enters/deletes all information about the user in a 'USER' file. We also have a sort of control file that lists terminals and their attributes, locations, phone extension, where that terminal is etc.. When we get a record lock, we read the USER file (key is USERNO) from that get the TTY number and read the TTY.CONTROL. Then we format a nice user friendly message stating something like 'Customer Record 12345 is being locked by Anthony Dzikiewicz at extension 123'. Believe it or not, some users will still call me and read the message on the screen because they don't know what to do. Anyway, that's one way to get it done.

RE: [U2] Custom Functions
Something I did in some subroutines which makes them more of a multi tasker (I-descriptors) and flexible, is to pass file variables as parameters - when you can. So, the subroutine would look something like; snip SUBROUTINE GET.NEXT.IJKEY(FILE.CN, ERR, F.STAT, IJKEY) $INCLUDE HEADERS STD.EQUATES $INCLUDE HEADERS ERRCODES.EQUATES $INCLUDE HEADERS IM.CTRL.EQUATES $INCLUDE SYSCOM FILEINFO.INS.IBAS * *THE FILE(S) MAY OR MAY NOT BE OPENED * * OPENED.CN = FALSE NEED.TO.OPEN = FILEINFO(FILE.CN,0) IF NEED.TO.OPEN = 0 THEN OPEN '','CN' TO FILE.CN ELSE ERR = ERR$CODE.OPENERR F.STAT = STATUS() GO STOP.RUN END OPENED.CN = TRUE END /snip We are using Universe. You never know what need you might have in the future and this can make things much easier. Actually, I thought 2 dynamic array params (passed and returned) and a headers file as pointers is probably more ideal.

RE: [U2] Custom Functions
In a function, you would RETURN(-1). In a subroutine, you would pass back a variable as one of the parameters. RESULT = '';MY.VAR='SOMETHING' CALL MY.SUB(RESULT, MY.VAR) IF RESULT = @TRUE .. Whatever . . SUBROUTINE MY.SUB(RESULT, MY.VAR) [EMAIL PROTECTED] IF MY.VAR = 'SOMETHING' THEN [EMAIL PROTECTED] RETURN END Im not positive about this (please check), but I always considered subroutines as being 'I-Type' capable and functions not. So if you create a subroutine, you can also use it as an 'I-Type' in a dictionary. If you create a function you cannot. This is the reason I have always used subroutines. We find them very handy in simple selects and reports as well as being able to be called in programs - a multi-tasker. As far as being expensive, I guess that is relative. For us it is not.

RE: [U2] Best practice for Sequential IDs using TRANSACTION START COMMIT/ROLLBACK
I cant say that I have experience with this. In our GET.KEY subroutines, we do a READU, check to see if the key exists and if not, increment the sequential key, write back to the control file and recordlocku the file we are generating the key for (along with checking the len() of the key and other particulars - barcoding, field widths on reports,screens, etc...) I was thinking if you did something similar, but use a READVL then others might not be locked out of the control file while the transaction is in place ? It was just a thought. If you have a properly structured GET.KEY routine and all of your programs check to see if the records exists before writing, then this should work without stepping on existing records. We dont use transaction logging here, so this may make no sense at all. Just throwing out an idea. I dont know if READVL is allowed in a transaction. Maybe not, then bad idea.

[U2] Pdf Software Upgrade
Craig, We are finally done testing the new PDF software on Windows (thanks to your sending the trial). I want to install the new rev on our Linux server. I wanted to run the procedure by you. If you could check me on this I would appreciate it. 1. Delete the current CROSSPDF account I tried doing a PDF.INSTALLER -U as a test and it complains and doesn't get the job done So, I am opting for this instead 2. ReCreate the directory for the software (/pos/crosspdf)and create a Universe account there 3. Create the 2 files needed PDFINST, PDFINST.O 4. Unzip the software into the respective files 5. Get into Universe, run PDF.INSTALLER I am assuming that at this point I am done ? We have added a file in our main account called ADOBEFONTS, which contain some extra fonts that we had purchased. Do these have to be recompiled ? If so, then my next step would be to kick off the COMPILE.FONTS job to do that. Now am I done ? Thanks Anthony By the way, the new printer is a Xerox X4500DX.

RE: [U2] How to release locks (LIST.READU)
I dont believe LIST.LOCKS shows READ locks. Use LIST.READU EVERY to see all READU locks. Two commands for two different things. I dont know of any commands to release READU locks. The MASTER LOCKS command will release the synchronization locks, but not READU. One thing you could do is to MASTER OFF the user. This is not always the best thing. You could walk over to their terminal and back them out of what they are doing. You could also make use of TANDEM to take control of the terminal and do the same thing (if you dont like walking). If it is a deadlock, shown by LIST.READU EVERY, I always use the admin menu, deadlock administration to take care of it.

RE: [U2] Best practice for Sequential IDs using TRANSACTION START COMMIT/ROLLBACK
One thing I would add to this is to always check to see if the key exists on the file that you are writing to before stepping on an existing record. Depending on how long your records live and how many characters you choose for your sequential key, you can theroetically have dups. We do exactly this kind of thing to generate inventory control numbers. We use 6 digits for our sequential number. So, when we hit 99 the number rolls back to 01. Those numbers are barcoded and the space for barcodes is limited and fixed.

Some variation on this theme (probably involving a utility subroutine): READVU SEQ.ID FROM ctrl.fvar, ctrl.id, n ... WRITEV SEQ.ID+1 TO ctrl.fvar, ctrl.id, n WRITE NEW.REC TO fvar, SEQ.ID === BUT: === If that happens inside an explicit transaction bounded by TRANSACTION START and TRANSACTION COMMIT (or TRANSACTION ROLLBACK), the Sequential ID control record will not actually be written and/or released until all updates are done/ditched during commit/rollback. If the transaction is extensive and involves many updates, this could be a serious bottleneck. Making sure that you read the next sequential id as close to the moment of executing the commit would be helpful, but that is not always an option in complicated transactions. What is the best practice for handling this? What is your experience? Bottlenecks? Ideally, I know what I'd prefer: I wish U2 would handle sequential ids internally for variants of Type-2 or dynamic SEQ.NUM files. That should have happened a couple decades ago in PI and Pick.

RE: [U2] Dynamic File Performance
What kind of hardware is it running on ? What OS ? Here's my performance issue story. I thought I was having issues myself with dynamic files. We had switched over to Linux about 6 months ago. Things were going fine until I started to run our 'purges'. They would take the system down to its knees. Anyway, I finally found out that the problem was some Qlogic HBA's that we have connecting a Clariion disk array. My VAR loaned me some Emulex cards this week. I switched the Qlogic for Emulex and the problem disappeared ! The iowait reading on the system would go to about 100% when doing heavy disk writes - forget dynamic files - just plain file copies (1/2 gig files) in Linux to the Clariion. The copy would complete and the iowait would remain up at 100% for sometimes up to a minute afterwards. Our /var/log/messages file would get loaded with 'QUEUE FULL' errors from the qla2300 driver. Doing the same copy with the Emulex cards cause iowait to hit about 74%. However, as soon as the copy is complete, the iowait goes back down to next to nothing without any kind of major freeze up. This may not be your issue at all. I would suggest copying of a large file at the OS level using the disk that the dynamic files are on as the target. See if this has the same impact on the performance. If so, then the issue is not dynamic files after all - its OS/hardware related. A lesson to anyone considering Linux - stay away from Qlogic HBA's - they suck in a major way and the company denys any problems and says that they are stable on Linux. They are not !

You should get a SYSADM.MENU To get to the add printer do; option 4 - Spooler,5 - Device Management, 2 - Maintain Devices here is a screen snapshot of our FUJI printer; +- Maintain Devices -+ | File Action Help | +--- ---+ | | | Printer Name: FUJIBaud Rate : 9600 | | Pathname? /dev/null Parity: None | | Driver : /usr/spool/uv/fuji.drv CR Mode : None | | Form: FUJITab Expansion : ON | | Flow control: XOFF STARTANY OFF FF Delay : No formfeed | | Enable Printing : Y LF Delay : None | | Enable Queuing : Y Word Length : 8 | | Lock file 1 : | | Lock file 2 : | | Other Options : | | | | | +--- Help Region + |Enter the Pathname of the device to print to. | | | | | | | | | +--- ---+ Say 'yes' to changes and 'Yes' to reread spooler configuration.

I think you are missing the point of my question. The kernel that is on the grid is not a version of the kernel that Red Hat supports. The grid is specifically set up for RedHat - not just Linux (or by RedHat do they really mean Linux in general). If I tried an 'up2date kernel-2.4.21-4g' for my RedHat server, you know what would happen - nothing. Package could not be found, typo try again, dont sell that here.

RE: [U2] UV on Linux
We have been live since October. Everything is fine at the Universe level. We havent had any major issues at all. One thing we used to do to get users off at the end of the night or when needed is to do a 'MASTER OFF ALL'. It doesn't work on the Linux version. Other than that, Universe is peachy. I find that support for Linux is generally lacking. Red Hat support is 'alright'. We have RedHat support thru IBM, which is much better than the RedHat support (IBM is usually a knowledgeable person that speaks English very well vs the RedHat guy who is not always very knowledgeable and has an accent that requires a special hearing device to interpret). IBM support is cheaper too. We keep RedHat for the up2date functionality and the resources they have. It really is a nice way to keep things current. Are you using all Dell Hardware ? We are running an IBM xSeries Server and an EMC Clariion. We are having performance issues with intensive writes to the disk array. There is a minor issue with this when doing the same kind of operation on the internal disks. Intensive disk writes could be an batch application that reads records from one file, deletes and writes to another (say 100,000 records type 30 files with indexes). We do this for archiving data. It could be a linux 'cp' command copying a large file (100meg) to the disk array. What happens is that the system goes into an iowait state and user response is non-existent. Sometimes, the system will hang for close to a minute until the i/o completes. We are also using Qlogic 2340 HBA's to connect the IBM to the Clariion. If you look thru the RedHat Bugzilla, there have been issues with the driver for this hardware. We will be testing out some Emulex cards next week to see if that improves things. If you have the luxury to evaluate your system, definitely try copying some large files or 'archiving' type processes while users are on. Monitor performance with the 'top' command. Then determine if things are acceptable. We converted from a DG/UX box with a Clariion. Performance was never really an issue on that platform and these types of operations would absolutely go unnoticed. EMC has been trying to help with the issue since February. I have to say that their support SUCKS !!! It seems that there is no one there that knows anything about Linux. I am finding this in general. When you mention that you are running Linux, a dark cloud appears. So, you probably will not get the excellent type of support that you might be accustomed to with Solaris. I would assume that you like Dell support ? My experience with them is that they went from once upon a time very good (8 years ago or so) to the pits. Every time I call, I get transferred overseas to India and the conversation is almost unbearable. Recently, I ordered an extra cpu for our testmachine, which is a Dell. They cancelled it with out any notice ! When I called to reorder, they said I couldn't, because it wasn't in stock. So, I have to keep calling until I get a 'hit'. This is really a joke. Luckily, our var deals with Dell and was able to get parts. If you would like to know more about the performance issue, email me directly and I will share whatever information I have.

RE: [U2] UV on Linux
CUPS - That reminds me. We had an issue with CUPS default settings. We had a problem with the default (500) amt of print jobs in the spooler. When we would generate tags for the showroom (about 1400) the system would start dropping new jobs after the 500 limit was reached. The other thing we noticed was that spooler commands like 'lpstat -t' started to respond very sluggish over time. This was due to CUPS keeping a log of every print job. We also had to 'turn off' this feature in the config file. Just something that had to be learned the hard way.

Luckily, our var deals with Dell and was able to get parts. I've also had bad experiences with Dell support and sales. We have a couple of Dell Windows domain controllers. They shipped one with 3 NICs and one with 1 NIC (should have been 2 each), sold me a Dell rebranded gigabit switch that wasn't compatible with any of the NICs, and sold me Arcserve backup software with an incompatible 4mm autoloader. When I called support to try to get the autoloader to work, they eventually gave up and told me Dell gives best effort support for peripherals, and I'd need to work with CA since they make the Arcserve software. We have Silver level support. I will never buy another Dell server. We migrated UV to IBM xSeries 345 hardware running RedHat AS 3 last year. I've also found RedHat support to be so-so. IBM's hardware support is excellent, however. We have a number of other xSeries servers running both windows and linux. The engineers IBM sends out are knowledgeable and the response times are short. As far as the UV to linux migration, it was painless. We did have one oddball problem that I just recently solved related to the linux CUPS spooler. We have a number of jetdirect connected laserjets that we send UV reports to overnight. Turns out that if the CUPS daemon is restarted with jobs in the queue, any PJL commands within the queued jobs will be ignored by the printer. This was causing us a problem because the laserjets' output trays would fill up over the weekend and the CUPS daemon would also restart over the weekend to rotate its log file. The solution was to change the CUPS log rotation from weekly to monthly. -John -- John Hester System Network Administrator Momentum Group Inc.

[U2] Universe Availability Matrix - Linux
I was checking the availability matrix for Universe on the IBM website. I am very confused about the kernel versions listed for Red Hat Linux. For example, for version 10.1.4 Red Hat kernel 2.4.21-4g is compatible. This kernel is not listed on the Red Hat site as one of theirs. However, kernel-2.4.21-4.EL is the closest thing they list. So, maybe the 'g' means 'and greater' ? I am curious if the latest Red Hat kernel, 'kernel-2.4.21-27.0.4.EL' is compatible with Universe 10.1.4 ? Does anyone know how this works ?
