RE: [U2] 1 - 4 Years
I resemble that comment (Pick Aware 2003). As a side note: Early in our test/evaluation, our software vendor salesperson had said that the database system used by the application was Informix. Oh Yeah, that sounds familiar. I took some sailing classes in the San Francisco Bay with a gal that worked at Informix. So needless to say that I spent about 3 months on the IIUG.org list-serv. I even hired a Informix consultant to help get our Web application hooked up to our new application software's database via ODBC. After about 3 hours of mucking about on our system, the consultant reported back that: In an attempt to assess the Informix installation I looked around on the machine for the location of the normal Informix tools and configurations. I found none of them. I called Mr. Smith and he ran me though some of his standard commands and locations that he uses with the application. This was when I found a Universe system, which has an Informix copyright but I was unfamiliar with the product. I made several phone calls and did some investigations and got understand the basis of the product. Universe is a tool acquired when Informix obtained (I believe) DataStage from a third party. Universe is its own database system based upon the Pick Database system. Universe is a flat file pseudo relational database system but allows multi-values within fields. Universe does allow ODBC and JDBC connections but certain field types require some translation to be correctly transferred. Universe does not follow any of the standard Informix conventions and does not use the same configuration files and Charles McMurray should seek out a Universe Consultant to help with their ODBC problem. IBM did acquire all the rights to Universe with the purchase of Informix and does state that it supports Universe. So I say to myself what the heck is Universe? So what is a newbie to do? But, Google it - which leads to some guy Cliff Olivier and sites in Australia. I get in touch with Janet Oswald and some of her group. And finally I found this fledging users group u2ug.org that was just getting going and the rest is history. About one month later I got hooked up with a group out of Los Angeles [AdvancedWare] that saved the day, in getting us technical training(Unix, MV, Universe, DICT, I-desc, getting the ODBC hooked up, etc..). About a year later after numerous pleadings, demands, etc .., we got technical training on our Eclipse Enterpise Software application. Those Intuit-Eclipse software developers think they are guarding the Crown Jewels (or are southern border patrol .. I got in anyway .. Amigos). They are more of an impedment than help. It is a great system they wrote and works really well. But, since it was originally written by some hackers in a garage, I guess they do not have any documentation on the system (dig.. Dig... prove my wrong Denver Dudes). Ok so now I have about 4 years on U2 and still trying to get to know the difference in LOCATE x in MVvs LOCATE x in MV1,1 returns what? I think I have figured out how to read an product item that is on backorder from the convoluted MV design on the order entry system. Probably this is the same path followed by many U2 newbies. -- I hope not Garry L.

RE: [U2] Basic developments reverse engineering tool ?
Other user groups that I belong(ed) to provide(d) a repository for user submitted utilities.

RE: [U2] Using keys for record locking with time expirations...
On an old COBOL system, that was written to run on various hardware/os. They had created lock files for all the major files. For example ORDERHDR.LOK, when accessing a order the program read the file with the Order ID, if not found then it wrote the key with the user id/login to the file. Next person trying to access the same order id would get a message ALREADY LOCKED BY ANOTHER USER (userid). If the system crashed or a user aborted their session we could erase the lock file. In your case you could place a date and time stamp and then have a scheduled routine to read thru the file and delete order ids that are older than 20 minutes? Or the next read would just overwrite the date and time stamp if it was older than specified. -Original Message- From: George Gallen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 12:26 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Using keys for record locking with time expirations... I'm changing the subject line on this topic... I'd like to get some opinons on a method (not ethics). In otherwords, I don't want statements of you shouldn't do it this way or that way because of style reasons. If someone has a better method, I'm all ears. I'm writing an UV interface to a non-UV access, it's been described by others as writing a device driver, where UV is the device. I've setup a small (and growing), perl script that can accept commands via a socket connection (from a website's .cgi) Mostly right now it's just READ data and WRITE data and SELECT data I'm using a phantom with Seqential input for commands and sequential output for results each of the sequential files are in reality a FIFO file (this way once the data is used it goes into electronic heaven without the need to cleanse the files). I already have the perl-UV interface for commands and results functional, I'm now in the process of adding in READ data, then WRITE data. My question is that I want to institute record locking. My initial thought is when a lock is requested, a key is created and returned. On subsequent reads if the key matches the key for that record, the record can be updated/read if the key doesn't match a lockerror will be returned. My key also has to have an expiration in seconds/minutes, for now I'm using 60 seconds, but I may make that a varible supplied with the request for a lock (something UV doesn't havevariable length lock times...THANK GOD). The reason for this is if a request to lock occurs, and an unlock never makes it (lost in iternet land) the record can eventually be reread without human intervention. 1. I'm not using sockets for the UV interface for three reasons. a. I want UV isolated from the internet b. the perl routine that interfaces does other things besides work with UV c. If I had to change from UV to another language, all the website stuff does not need to change. and I'm sure the overwhelming question is WHHHY? Mostly it will allow a website(s) to access a database offsite. and if the site were ever hacked, your database isn't at risk. Some might be if the .cgi is viewed but you can't look directly at the database. My main question is : does my method for doing locking make sense? any pitfalls? or better ways (given my convoluted interfacing..) I just hope this wheel this rolls and rolls straight once i re-invent it!!

[U2] EVault Backup Restore testing was a success
Just to keep everyone posted. We have finished testing a backup routine from www.Evault.com over the internet. My concern was the restore, since UV has its own way of handling files. But everything worked great. Here are some of the facts. We are running an IBM RS6000 with AIX 4.3 and UV 9.6. EVault has an agent that runs on AIX. They also support Windows, NT Server and Exchange. We started the initial seed backup on Sat at 2:00am, after our tape backup, by 10:30am Sat (8.5hours) the 6.7GB of our production account were copied over to a server in Philadelphia (we are in California). Each subsequent day only the block level file changes were backed up, which was 823MB and that took about 1 hours and 15 minutes. The restore of the complete 6.7GB took 7+ hours to complete (Validating the 1GB per hour transmit speed on a T1 line). I logged into the restore account and everything was normal. There is a nice interface that allows you to schedule backups, include or exclude directories(files) and show what is in current storage on EVault. The windows interface interacts with the AIX EVault agent. And the restore works just as slick. And it is available 24x7 from what ever PC you loaded the interface. So if anyone is looking to augment their disaster recovery backups, for us this beats physical off-site tape storage (courier, media, schedule pickup for restore.etc...). And very reasonably priced.

Subject: [U2] UniObjects intermittent problem
We have a process that 99.9% of the times works great. Considering, I
have 57
missed up records in the last 4 months and we do an average of 2000 per
day.
We use both VB6 and VB.NET and it happens for both.
Sometimes the writefield wipes out all the fields upto the field it
updated.
This makes me think for some reason when it goes to do the write.field it
does
not see the record and thinks it is writing a new record.
There is 3 different scenarios this happens.
1. PC process connects to the Universe, selected the data, processes each
record, passes the data from each record to WORD for a word merge, prints
the
resulting document, then updates via the writefield the date flag showing
the
record was printed. In this instance it is field 4, when it happens here,
the
record is thus
1
2
3
4 13854
This process connects every some often (5 minutes at the moment - we can
change the timing) and does this through out the day. Plus we run this
process in a batch mode in the evening, this picks up any record we set to
be
in the batch process, select ranges from 700-3500 records.
2. Add another twist to this. We also have a VB product that connects to
Universe, passes in data, a UV subroutine creates the record in batch mode
so
it is not picked up immediately by the above process. Once the record is
created, the VB process attaches files to it, then does a write.field to
change the mode from batch to immediate. (simple Y/N field). It will
also
blank out everything but the 2 fields it was trying to update.
3. Add a 3rd twist, it makes it through 1 or both processes listed above
and
the document is being faxed instead of printed. We write back a field
showing
it went Y or it failed F . When it does this, the record is blank
except
for the Y or F in field 26.
Any ideas I can pass to our VB folks?
Thanks,
Brenda Price

RE: [U2] [UV] eVault backup software
I am waiting for the vendor to provide a reference for an eVault customer using Universe. If they do not have one then we will need to setup some testing of the restore. Since we have both a production and test account. We will run the backup for 8 days and then on the ninth restore to our test account and we should see all of the transactions from the prior day.

And how UV on AIX writes to disk. Is HASH.AID/HASH.HELP a UV tool or an AIX tool? Does UV have its own file system compared to AIX? In reverse order, as it were. AIX is the operating system, and thus is the owner/operator of the file systems. UV is a *very* large application running on top of AIX, or SunOS, or HPUnix, or Windows, etc, etc. Thus UV has to live within the boundaries established by the operating system. That having been said, understand that within those boundaries, UV has its own rules including the structure of the data files. To Unix, files are just strings of bytes, the organization is imposed by the application. So, the files are readable and writable by Unix operations, but they're typically not understood by those operations. Much as a MS-Word document looks like gibberish if you open it with notepad, (or any other text editor), UV data files will look like gibberish to most unix utilities. Which can make it extremely dangerous to work with tools that aren't cognizant of the UV structure, except where the structure is not specific to UV. Program files for example are typically type 1 or 19, which are simply sub-directories containing flat files. Those flat files can be edited using vi, or emacs, or anything else you'd like without damaging the data because the data layout isn't specific to UV. HashAid/HashHellp are UV tools, which run under *nix, they understand the file structures particular to UV, and thus can traverse them, analyze them, and report on them. UV writes by at a very low level instructing *nix to write. But it's critical to understand that UV has determined the actual location within the data stream to perform the write. Backup strategies typically fall into two methodologies. Either you freeze the data and copy it, or you use UV tools which pay attention to record/group locks so as to get a clean backup. Classic mistake is to have your users modifying the data while you back it up with a non-UV product. When you restore the file(s), they're potentially corrupted because their internally inconsistent. I can't speak about eVault other than to say that it *appears* that their incremental backup would back up every file that's been modified. So, your CUST.MAST file which gets hit every day would be included in your incremental backup in its entirety, while your MONTH.END file would get picked up after it was modified at the end of the month, and presumably only until you ran a full backup. But this is guesswork on my part based upon little information. --- --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

I have tried the COPYI FROM PRODUCT TO CONV.DATA/CUST.TXT but this does not work since the CUST.TXT does not exist. We're pick flavor, so I use the COPYP syntax, but yes, there's no problem copying items from a hashed file to a type 19 file (AKA: an OS level directory) and sharing it via Samba. I rarely use the COPYI syntax, but I think UV expects CUST.TXT in the example above to be a directory, not a file. The directory would then be filled with individual text files with the same IDs as the hashed file. This is the syntax for copying the whole PRODUCT file with COPYP: COPYP PRODUCT * TO:(CONV.DATA If your goal is a useable backup for potential restoration, however, you don't want to convert your UV hashed files to text. Getting the files back into their original state would be a nightmare. Just create a samba share at the root directory of your UV data (preferably read-only with access only to an admin user from specific IP addresses), and copy that to a CD. Your smb.conf entry might look something like this: [UV] path=/uvdata read only = Yes valid users = Administrator hosts allowed = admin_desktop, backup_server You could copy all the files manually or use any Windows based backup software to back the data up to any media you want. A scheduled NTBackup from an XP workstation with a CD burner would do the trick. -John -- John Hester System Network Administrator Momentum Group Inc.

In the bigger picture - who has a comprehensive Disaster Recovery Plan? We are looking at a company evault.com that also does AIX backup over the web. Our owner wants to pursue a Disaster Recovery plan so if a catastrophic event hits California, that we have our data stored out-of-state and can restore to some machine within days. We have discussed implementing a standby unit using a Windows Based PC with a 10 lic. Universe, which is inexpensive. We are suggesting a special pricing program from our software provider that would allow a fee for installing a 10 user Version on a Windows system and then only in the event of a disaster would that require the actual Software purchase of a 10 user lic system be billed. Which would be paid by the insurance company as part of the disaster recovery. This would allow restoring data across the internet from a remote storage provider and being up and running in a short time frame with a skeleton crew. Also, a used older model RS6000 might also be an option and have that unit stored off-site / out of state. www.sungard.com has a few documents to help create a Disaster Recovery plan. -Original Message- From: Susan Joslyn [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 1:33 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Backups -- Universe Greetings group.

Peter, I'm having problems with CFMX7 and UV/ODBC also and not having much luck. (UVpe 10.1) I was able to get UV/ODBC to work with MS-Query and was able to get the CF datasource config to test the UV/ODBC connection as OK but when I ran a CF query against it, I received an Invalid Argument or mismatch message (or something like that). Is that what you are experiencing? I've tried this with CF and UVpe on XP using CF's internal web server as well as moving UVpe to W2K server with IIS and got the same results. I was able to work around the issue by using UVSH to go directly into UV from the cfexecute tag. It works really well but then you are no longer using ODBC/SQL and is highly proprietary. One of the best things about it, is that it releases your UV login once the query finishes and returns to CF. I was very surprised at just how fast this was but did not like the non-standard approach. Don't know how it would work on a large scale application however. My guess is very fast and very flexible. I wrote a couple of CF components as well as a couple of small UV server applications that help handle the UV to CF connectivity including UV reads and writes. Also wrote a rudimentary prototype of the MV REPLACE statement in CF. I finally tabled the task and moved on to testing UniData which is working well so far. I'm developing a CF website that works with either MS-Access, UniData, Universe (maybe), mySQL, and possibly SQL Server. (Kind of a throw everything in the pot and call it vegetable soup project!) Another possible solution is to use FusionWare's eTools ODBC driver. I think this is the old Liberty/ODBC driver and server. I really like the product when I used it, but am looking for the NO cost solution at least while prototyping. If you could share your CF connectivity parameters for UV/JDBC, I would appreciate it. I've not played with that yet. (Just another tasty ingredient in the soup!) The webservices idea is a great way to go, but requires significant development. Once I get this site up and running, webservices will be next.
