Re: [U2] Multi-threaded phantom processing
There are options you can explore using the BASIC SQL Client Interface. These will allow basic programs running as phantoms to establish their own connection to the remote site and run subroutines supplied with data as parameters. This would bypass the need for multiple server phantoms listening and reacting to socket connections. You could also look at hosting web services on the AIX server and use the submitrequest() functions.

[U2] I just discovered this
Gregor Scott
System Group Manager
I have been working with UV for a few years now but I occasionally uncover some
functionality I never knew existed that is really cool and useful.
Such as the invisible @TMP table (I just crated this post about it:
http://wp.me/p1692U-1o).
It is documented in the BASIC SQL Client Interface Guide and the UCI
Developers Guide for those needing documentary evidence that it does exist.
The premise of it is quite simple:
1. Create a dynamic array of data to be reported on.
2. Assign the array to a numbered select list
3. Use the SQL SELECT syntax to populate the @TMP table with the select list
contents and produce an appropriate report/recordset.
An example always helps to understand.
The Test program: TEST.@TMP
--
CATEG = ACBDAADBCB
INFO = ''
FOR II = 1 TO 10
ROW = II
ROW2 = ROW :II
ROW3 = TIME()-(II*(if mod(II,2) then -1 else 1))
ROW4 = CATEG[RIGHT(II,1)+1,1]
INFOII = CONVERT(@AM,@TM,ROW)
NEXT II
SELECTN INFO TO 9
--
Note that each row's data is separated by @TM instead of an @VM. This is
important for the SQL interface.
Compile and run the above program.
Using the active select list...
Try this:
SELECT F1 FMT 4R AS Row, F2 FMT 20L AS Descr, F3 FMT 10R CONV
MTS AS Time, F4 FMT 3L AS Code FROM @TMP SLIST 9;
This produces a simple output of the contents of select list 9 in a nicely
formatted result.
Row. Descr... Time.. Code
1 ROW 1 10:45:54 C
2 ROW 2 10:45:51 B
3 ROW 3 10:45:56 D
4 ROW 4 10:45:49 A
5 ROW 5 10:45:58 A
6 ROW 6 10:45:47 D
7 ROW 7 10:46:00 B
8 ROW 8 10:45:45 C
9 ROW 9 10:46:02 B
10 ROW 10 10:45:43 A
10 records listed.
For a more complex sort sequence, try this one:
SELECT F1 FMT 4R AS Row, F4 FMT 3L AS Category, F3 FMT 10R CONV
MTS AS RowTime FROM @TMP SLIST 9 ORDER BY Category DESC, RowTime ASC;
Row. Category RowTime...
6 D 11:20:15
3 D 11:20:24
8 C 11:20:13
1 C 11:20:22
2 B 11:20:19
7 B 11:20:28
9 B 11:20:30
10 A 11:20:11
4 A 11:20:17
5 A 11:20:26
10 records listed.
Gotchas to be aware of:
1. You cannot use the WHERE clause in the select statement. All the rows
(attributes) in the select list will be output
2. You cannot use the TO SLIST {n} option to create another select list from
the re-ordered output.
3. To order the output using non-default formatting (i.e. 10L you must use
the 'F1 FMT {xx} AS {ColName}' syntax in the output and then use {ColName}
in the ORDER BY section
4. Only the SQL form of the SELECT verb works with the @TMP table - it does not
exist for UV LIST SELECT statements

Hey Dan, Nice to see the $DEFINE and $IFDEF facilities getting expanded to include UV versions.

We also use TeamViewer to run presentations, though I tend to use Skype rather than integrated VOIP capabilities That said, I'm also curious if anyone has a better product they have used (first hand, rather than just something they have read about which sounded good), and/or especially if you had previously had a commercial TeamViewer licence moved on.

Re: [U2] [Windows]
You can adjust your network adaptor to stop the PC Power Management facility from turning it off. This should alleviate this problem for you. Run the Device Manager applet in the control panel, select the Network Adapters then select the appropriate adaptor. Right-click and select the Properties option. On Vista, there is a Power Management tab that shows a tick-box that indicates if the Power Management can turn the power off for the adaptor. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Thursday, 27 September 2012 7:21 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] [Windows] Update on this case.

It fixed the problem on one HP-UX server I was working on, but when I installed the program on a different HP-UX server, TIME() now sometimes reported an incorrect internal time. For example, it was around 6:00 am but the time reported was for about 4:00 am. I fixed the problem on that server by replacing TIME() by ICONVS(TIMEDATE()[1,8],MTS) We have a setup for temporary locks that expire after a given time these temporary locks were being created as already expired.

Re: [U2] UniVerse backups to disk
Chris, add the options -notag -limit 1 to your command line. The -notag stops UV from updating the header of each record after it is included in the backup. The -limit 1 stops uvbackup from trying to use the shared-memory feature, which can severely impact the performance. The uvbackup command is the only one I know of that tests the integrity of the database structures as it goes. Filesystem-based backup of UV datafiles are ok so long as all changes have been flushed to disk prior to the backup starting and no files get changes during the backup process. To be certain that the files are ok, you need to suspend database writes, do the backup, then resume database writes. Other options are to suspend database writes, tape a snapshot of the filesystem, resume database writes, mount the snapshot in another filesystem then perform the backup.

I'm going to continue running backups to tape on a nightly basis, but I'd also like to automate backups over the network to another file server so that if I'm not around to swap tapes they'll continue being backed up, as well as all the benefits of having extra copies in case a tape fails. What's the best way to achieve this, is it necessary to use UniVerse's built-in uvbackup utility ? I currently have a FreeNAS server setup in another building using rsync (the rsnapshot utility - http://rsnapshot.org/) to copy the files directly at the operating system level onto the FreeNAS box, however I've no way of really verifying the validity of these files copied over as to whether the server was in the midst of rewriting a file at the time it was copied. The FreeNAS rsnapshot setup appears to be doing a good job at copying the files and helps me rotate the backups through hourly, daily, weekly snapshots. It tries to save disk space by hard linking the rotated snapshots and only copying the changed files, however the problem is it validates the change by timestamp on the file, and of course when uvbackup runs each night it updates the timestamp on *every* file and hence each daily snapshot I end up with another entire copy of all the files when it probably wasn't necessary. If uvbackup is the way to go, what command line options should I be looking at ? I've read the examples in IBM's Universe admin manual but it doesn't give any examples of backup to to disk paths... Our current backup is about 15GB of data to tape, backing up our entire /UVdata directory and all the accounts under that. I'd like to do the same full backups to disk. From what I've pieced together in the manual the way to do this would be something like:- $ find /UVdata -print | uvbackup -f -v -l FULL UVDATA BACKUP - /remote.nfsshare/UVdata Once that's done I'm guessing I could then bundle that remote UVdata backup into a tarball and compress it to save space and keep several backups on disk. Any suggestions on the above would be greatly appreciated. Very interested to hear if uvbackup is necessary or not... I asked one of the guys from our software vendor in the past and he felt the files should be fine being backed up directly to another machine (ie: even via FTP) without uvbackup, but I'm not convinced myself that you could be 100% sure of the integrity of the files if you do a direct disk copy since how would you know if the server had some writes in a buffer it hadn't yet flushed or was in the middle of rewriting a file, or does it really not matter a great deal ?

Re: [U2] Strange Selection Behavior
Hi Steve, It could be the CAPTURING clause causing you grief. Check the number of files in the UVTEMP directory. If there are a large number it could be that the OS is taking a long time to create the capturXXX file to store the results for the CAPTURING clause of the EXECUTE command. You could test this by removing the CAPTURING clause from the EXECUTE to see if it performs any better. If it does improve, and you are using the CAPTURING clause to hide the output of the select then look into the HUSH ON|OFF command.

All right, I just went ahead and rewrote this the way I would do it since I haven't written a single bit of code since I got laid off at the end of September. And I did it while my wife and I are watching Judge Judy - it was *fun* :-) Granted I can't use real var names since I don't know what these are, but using a simple var name replacement scheme, this illustrates what I would consider the least amount of overhead for this. A) reduced the overhead on the repetitive calls to over 100 attrs. The system needs to look at *every single byte* in the record until it gets to attr desired. If these are 25,000 byte records this would be a HUGE amount of needless throughput which you can calc by (iterations - 2) * average bytes to read before attr needed * number of times the statement is used in the loop B) Yup, got rid of the #. Not only does this make more sense, but # is REALLY doing two comparisons: and C) Got rid of the leading 7 digit indent to make it more readable D) I don't see the necessity of testing three vars to see if they aren't zero before adding them together. If they are zero, the equation will work. If they are not zero, the equation will work. I can see maybe doing that if the equation was doing any dividing to avoid the can't divide by zero error, but not on adding. E) I always make all my IF's block IF's to stub them out for future dev, as well as to make them easier to read. So I did that at the bottom even though it was just for one add stmt.

Actually, (at least in UniData) it is a performance improvement :). It has to do with how BASIC compiles the code into the object file and tags each line with a line number. Each time it jumps to a line or progresses to the next it must process the line number to update it for when it shows errors/warnings etc. By reducing the number of lines the instructions are on, you actually end up with both smaller object code and faster execution.

Re: [U2] Reading a Unix file from another machine.
You could try converting the ^M (carriage return) into a linefeed using the command: cat master | tr \r \n | new.master And cating the file might not be a true indication of your ability to open and read the file within UV/UD.

Re: [U2] Building XML using the UV XDOM API functions
I actually like the XML handling built into UV. I have always been a believer in using the intrinsic facilities of the database where possible to maximise the performance of the process being automated. The XDOM API is a good example of this, and is a good fit for our requirements. My biggest issue is with the poor state of the documentation. It does not allow me to easily obtain a good level of competency, which I think is needed to feel like I can be productive with a tool, and to feel that the tool is worth using. Once I got past the documentation and did a lot of testing, and raising cases with Rocket Software (the guys here in Australia should now know their XDOM backwards!), I have a much clearer understanding of what is possible and what the limitations are. Which is why I created the blog and started adding entries for various aspects of the XDOM that were not obvious from the documentation. I just hope it helps others get a handle on the XDOM API a bit quicker than I did. It might also allow others to better evaluate the XDOM API as a valid toolset, rather than discount it out of hand due to FUD, or marketing pressures.

Some of them are OK, but many not. People insist on the DBMS vendors building stuff for them, but then we get the mess that you've described. For this reason I continue to recommend at least consideration for integration with tools that are outside of the DBMS. DBMS vendors should be focusing on making superior databases, not XML, web services, or a lot of this other fluff. People in the open source and commercial markets spend a great deal of time focused on these things, and because of this, their offerings are often much better. So take a look around and weigh other offerings against the built-in functionality. It would be nice to see people here comparing more toolkits - it might save others from feeling like they're stuck with whatever is provided by the DBMS vendors.

[U2] Building XML using the UV XDOM API functions
I have recently been involved in a project that gave me my first chance to get acquainted with the UV XDOM API functions. gripe I must say that I was bitterly disappointed with the documentation on the XML functionality in UniVerse 10.2. Nothing more than a simple description of each of the API functions, and no clear example of how to go about getting started. Not to mention the inter-weaving of UniData and UniVerse configurations that lead me into much confusion about what was going on. /gripe Once I got a handle on how things worked, it was obvious that if we were to be building XML docs in code, we would need to create some supporting code to make things easier. I ended up creating a function to add new elements and attributes that made a huge difference. I used a function instead of a subroutine because it fits in easier with the XDOM API function calls, and this makes it easier to adopt. I created a description of the function and its implementation over at http://gdoesu2.wordpress.com/2010/10/25/an-easier-way-to-build-xml-in-universe/, in case anyone else needs a helping hand getting started with manual XML document building. The site also has a few other entries on the quirks/features of the XDOM API functions which might be of interest as well. Regards, Gregor This email and any attachments to it are confidential.

Re: [U2] running ftp from UV (Windows)
George,
Have you considered using the GCI functions for dealing with Pipes?
The UV GCI manual documents some GCI functions that only work in UV on Windows,
and provides an example program for using them.
This would allow you to create an interactive program to control and react to
the Windows FTP command, rather than the blind execution approach you currently
have to use on Unix. And it avoids the need to install additional software.

I'll second Tony on this. I have been using cURL for years whenever I
need to send/receive data. The HTTP/HTTPS protocol stuff is especially
good because you can manipulate the HTTP headers.
I have a couple FTP routines (for a Windows based system but easily
adapted for Unix) using cURL here:
http://www.schasny.com/BP/FTP.SEND
http:/www.schasny.com/BP/FTP.GET
Also, if you are REALLY against writing out a command file,you could put
a bunch of commands together on one line using command separators (';'
in Unix and '' in Windows)
Tony Gravagno wrote:
Having written FTP interfaces with MV before (in production use
at end-user sites) my recommendation is that you shift to cURL.
- It's a high quality utility,
- well supported,
- does much more than FTP,
- adapts to Secure FTP without you having yet again go learn a
new utility,
- cross-platform,
- easy to install
- well documented,
- and free.
Because it's cross-platform the only changes to your app code
that are required would be making sure that you have your
directories identified properly with proper slashes, and other
OS-specific details. But cURL itself, unlike FTP, works exactly
the same on all platforms.
And no, I don't sell it or get a commission for referrals.

It's kind of difficult to explain, but I'll try my best. My apologies for any lack of clarity. What we're trying to do is automate a third-party batch process. The automation piece is working well. But there's one requirement that's proving problematic, with two key requirements at play. First, batch process must run automagically and completely unattended. Second, operators must have the option to interact directly with the automated batch for trouble-shooting purposes. The second requirement is what's presenting the challenge. Since we need to be able to directly interact with the batch process, we can't use a phantom, since any keyboard I/O causes a phantom to terminate. The solution we chose was to run everything under GNU Screen. If you aren't familiar with Screen, here's a one sentence description from our friends at GNU -- Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells. You can check http://www.gnu.org/software/screen for more info. I think of Screen as a terminal emulator that runs locally on the server. So if you start screen and then launch UniData from within your screen session, you are safe if the connection from your workstation is dropped; everything continues to run on the server. You just need to issue a command to reconnect to your screen session and you're back in business. Very handy tool. If the batch runs with no issues, this works well. But if we need to diagnose a run-time issue, e.g. a process appears to be hung, we need to do things like send ctrl-c to break the current program. This is where the problem comes in. Screen seems to be sending ctrl-c (or any other interrupt, for that matter) to udt, not the program that is running under udt. This causes the udt session to end which kills the batch process when all we want to do is get to the debug prompt. Questions to the Screen users group have not generated helpful answers. Here's an attempt at an illustration of what I'm talking about. Nesting indicates that a process is running under the outer process. Non-Automated: Can press ctrl-c while PROG1 is running to get to debug prompt AIX udt PROG1 Automated: Ctrl-c and AIX kill's are directed to udt, not PROG1 AIX screen udt PROG1 Does anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve this? My hope is that there's a way to send an interrupt from outside that will be directed towards a specific program.

Re: [U2] Filesystem options cio for AIX 5.3
Dan, We have done a lot of work on tuning AIX for UniVerse. I looked into CIO and its potential benefits to UV. I even raised a case with U2 support. Their response was that as CIO essentially eliminates caching updates in memory it requires the update to be physically made to disk before the process can continue. The nature of UV (and possibly UD) updates made U2 support think there would not be much benefit. The biggest improvements we made were to how AIX manages memory and its I/O buffers. The memory changes made a huge different to process paging, and the I/O buffers played a large part in stabilising our I/O activities. These settings are the culmination of taking advised adjustments from various sources and then fine tuning for our UV installations. ___Memory Management Parameter Default New Value Command to Adjustment minperm%20 5 vmo -p -o minperm%=5 maxperm%80 90 vmo -p -o maxperm%=90 maxclient% 80 90 vmo -p -o maxclient%=90 lru_file_repage 1 0 vmo -p -o lru_file_repage=0 page_steal_method 0 1 vmo -p -o page_steal_method=1 ___PBUFS___ pv_min_pbuf 512 4096 ioo -p -o pv_min_pbuf=4096 ___JFS2___ j2_dynamicBufferPreallocation 16 128 ioo -p -o j2_dynamicBufferPreallocation=128 j2_nBufferPerPagerDevice512 8192ioo -p -o j2_nBufferPerPagerDevice=8192 ___JFS___ numfsbufs 196 2048 ioo -p -o numfsbufs=2048 maxpgahead 8 16 ioo -p -o maxpgahead=16 I found the following links very helpful when exploring the AIX performance tuning options: http://www.circle4.com/blosxomjl.cgi/ http://users.ca.astound.net/baspence/AIXtip/j2_buffer.htm This PDF explains the benefits of tuning Memory: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/download/attachments/53871915/VMM+Tu ning+Tip+-+Proctecting+Comp+Memory.pdf?version=2 Whilst focused on Oracle, this PDF provides an interesting snippet on page 9: Large hdisks are evil for I/O performance! http://www.circle4.com/papers/PAI22.pdf Hope this helps Gregor -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Dan Goble Sent: Friday, 4 June 2010 6:51 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Filesystem options cio for AIX 5.3 I am working with an AIX 5.3 system using Unidata 7.1.10 We are having some performance issues that are directly related to I/O.

Re: [U2] Question about umask
We specifically changed our client code to always call our UVCS login subroutine when it first connects. This subroutine then does all the necessary environment massaging and checking to ensure the connection is valid and the environment is right. If you are unable to change your client code to do this, then the only other way is to change the umask within the unix user profile of the user that runs the unix unirpc process (normally either root or uniadm). If this is the root user you need to be VERY careful about changing umask settings, even to the point of considering changing UV to use a non-root user as the UV administrator user and then changing this user's unix profile.

[U2] UniVerse configuration options SCRMIN, SCRMAX and SCRSIZE
Hello all. I have been working through some performance issues with a customer of ours, and naturally have been looking at what changes are possible in the UniVerse configuration. At present I am looking to better understand the SCRMIN, SCRMAX and SCRSIZE parameters. I understand these parameters to influence the scratch buffer pool for UniVerse (apparently used for temporary storage in an attempt to minimise calls to 'malloc' and 'free' during execution). What I do not yet understand is under what circumstances would changing these parameters be of benefit. Has anyone encountered a situation where the SCRMIN, SCRMAX and SCRSIZE parameters were adjusted? What where the conditions that lead to the change, and what was the impact of the changes on performance?

Another excellent burner is ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/) - it also is free.

I downloaded RHEL 5.1 Desktop and burned the disk1 cd image to a CD-ROM using Windows XPPro. When I install the the CD-ROM on the new machine with only the CD-ROM drive designated as a bootable device, I get a message: Boot Error. System Halted. I tried to install it on my laptop and it failed to install there also. The CD-ROM drive read lite came on in both cases, so I believe that it's reading the CD-ROM but not finding what it expects to find. Using Explorer to view the download or the burned image, I see only one icon representing an unknown file type. I don't see any individual folders or files within the image. To fail this early in the process suggests that I'm doing something very wrong. Any suggestions? tia, Dave Dave Taylor Sysmark Information Systems, Inc.

RE: [U2] TZ in AIX
The ENVIRONMENT command can be used inside UniVerse to adjust the shell TZ varaible, and it has an immediate impact on UniVerse DATE() and TIME() functions. We have used this to great effect, having all the required Timzone info we need stored inside UV.

RE: [U2] Type ahead buffer overflow
tOM, Do not rule out AIX as being part of the problem. I encountered an issue with AIX having a buffer overrun when dealing with a large paste into an input in UniVerse. I was able to diagnose the isse for IBM by using a packet sniffer to track exactly what was sent to the AIX machine, and log all input received in UniVerse. Such a technique might help you pinpoint the problem.

We have a client that uses a paste from Windows into an input statement, within a UniBasic program, to enter data. The string get quite large and in the transmission from VMS to Unix AIX 5.2 running UniData 7.10 we are losing data. We have played with the terminal emulator as much as possible, but we still lose data coming from Windows into UniData. We have set the sty to utilize xon/xoff, but still we lose data. Is there a way to increase the type ahead buffer so we won't overrun it. The data string could contain multiple pages. Or does anyone have a solution other then changing terminal emulators, that is out of the question at this installation.
