Re: [U2] jobnotify: Error 913 occurred
Sorry, I forgot to reply... I vaguely recall having a jobnotify errors when we migrated to AIX6.1 and UV11.1.9 during the testing phases...but do not recall if it was the 913 version you got...I cannot find my notes on this and didn't raise it as a problem case with Rocket... You could be occasionally running out of user processes - but only when the system is busy... or perhaps some settings are not optimised for your server / license, etc. A quick check is to verify 'ulimit' sessions for your UV session (do a ulimit -a at the shell prompt). Check the current values of the ULIMIT and SHMMNI kernel parameters. SHMMNI should be set to Number of Users + 2. (This is from a Rocket UV11 tech note) Finally, I think we also ran into issues with running out of LCTs...not necessarily relayed to the jobnotify error... This was another configuration issue not documented in the install guide at the time. That required of the tweaking of the UVCONFIG NUSERS parameters to ensure that everything was 'optimised', etc. and documented in the tech guidese UniVerse 11.1 - Before You Upgrade.pdf (previously What You Need To Know for Eleven One.pdf). Hope this helps...

Re: [U2] Multi-threaded phantom processing
Hi Peter Clearly, you have no other option than to go the direction you have. Sounds like you're using the correct API and approach for the task at hand and with the constraints you have. Sounds like you have considered various implications and you're constrain by UV versions and UniRPC being blocked (a good thing if you're connectivity to third-parties and over unsecure/public networks :))... BTW: UV File triggers are light-weight triggers available in UV11.x - without the overhead and complexity of UV SQL Triggers. The MQSeries interface is good, but it's learning curve can be steep and is only feasible if both sites are licensed users. I've used it a lot, but the underlying complexity of the MQ setup and API can be up there with TCP/IP sockets :(... if you're new to it all! SQL BCI requires UniRPC access so that would be ruled out for your use as well. All of the higher-level APIs just save you the hassle of writing a complex low-level interface which could be hard to develop, debug and maintain in the future... In my experience, it is difficult to optimise any interface unless you have some minimum, average and maximum loads or throughput requirements to be met. It'll be difficult to optimise the interface other than setting minimum and maximum phantom processes - as you're and other have already mentioned. I guess time will tell how it works and what tweaking (aka optimisation) will be required...nothing like real-world usage to sort things out... Another potential consideration you need to consider or at least have test cases is loss of connectivity due to abnormal termination by the client, network (local/carrier/remote) or remote server. All these events may cause various issues that can impact UV locally, remotely and your TCP connectivity. Troubleshooting network and application connectivity is never easy - hence working through worse case scenarios in advance is a worthwhile - and somewhat very tedious exercise. Such issues have are applicable to all applications - of course. Such network issues impact the native UV APIs as well...but I am sure you'll get to know and loathe errors such as FIN_WAIT, etc., etc. as you get more usage and issues, etc. Cheers, David -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Peter Cheney Sent: Friday, 7 March 2014 6:00 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] Multi-threaded phantom processing Initially data volume will be small - probably about 20 customers per day and about 6 records per customer but it is likely to grow very quickly up to some unknown amount. We'll have to see I guess. The records per customer are likely to be the high volume stuff. There is transaction logging on the remote system that I can use and am relying on for data integrity but I did not know about the SQL stuff until this week. Not sure if it would work until I can find time to play with it and see how it might suit us. Some of the other constraints were: no access allowed to the remote unirpc port, the remote UV is below 10.3 and different from ours, neither site has a UV/Net licence in prod. So I think I'm pretty much stuck with file queuing and multiple phantoms for now at least. I also was able to get a successful remote file process going on our test system while waiting for confirmation of UV/Net accessibility. It is very nice and might have been a nice solution too. Then I did some experimenting with the performance requirements on the file triggers and found there to be too much of a lag for the triggers to fire directly to the other end. This would've caused unacceptable problems in testing not to mention going live so a file queuing process had to be devised. In all the file queuing works quite well and can be coded for rock solid reliability so it has a lot of pluses. I can also fine tune the phantom loop times and socket timeouts on the fly at both ends once the data starts flowing and we get some idea of what needs changing. Fingers, toes, arms, legs (and eyes!) all currently crossed.

Hi Peter Sounds like an interested piece of work, just a couple of questions for you: - what sort of data volumes and update frequencies are involved? - do you need to know if the data has been successfully committed to the remote UV database? - did you consider SQL BCI or even UV/Net (read the different UV versions is an issue and so this may be a constraint) Gregor mentioned SQL BCI as an alternative interface - I've used that before to exchange data between systems and it works well. If you had the same UV version on both hosts - then UV/Net is simple effect way of transmitting data between UV systems with only licenses required on the remote system. With BCI you could utilise the Stored Procedure facility via an ExecDirect() call to push the data to the remote system in your UV file trigger. With UV/Net you could push the items to be copied the by your UV file trigger - thus the updates being written directly onto the remote host. BCI is free/included in UV and of course will utilise a license on the remote host. You need to write your own custom code. Probably a bit easier to maintain than any TCP/IP sockets based interface. Definitely a lot easier to troubleshoot ;-) ! YMMV. UV/Net is licensed on the number user connections on the remote host. Hence the above alternative as designed to eliminate the file-based queue - which in some instances by be desirable to maintain - depending on business, technical or operational needs/objections.

I have the communications all set up and it is working very well via the UV socket functions with a client at one end and a server at the other. Both the client and the server both run as a UV phantom processes written in UV basic and the data being transferred (also encrypted) is more or less real time with various UV file triggers on the client end creating queue items for transmission based on the data content / transaction type. This set up is a single threaded affair and I am wondering how it will cope and what options I’ll have as the volume of data increases. Multi-threading my server process to dish out some of the load might be one possibility and I’ve seen examples in the past where the last digit of a numeric key (i.e. 0-9) is used to determine which one of 10 phantoms to call thus providing an effective distribution of the work. But even then, reading/writing processing data to a file for each child process seems to me to be the only way to achieve parent - child phantom communications at either end. Is there another way perhaps? It may be that I will need 2 sets of phantoms, 1 for the transactions and one for the ancillary data. Although we run UV on AIX the only other requirement is that I must be able to do it within UV Basic. Does anyone out there on the list know of a better way or any alternatives/advice so I can get a better appreciation of what else might be possible please?

Re: [U2] UV/Net usage and licensing
Hi Peter, It's been a while since I've used/played around with UV/Net, but this may help... 1. Setup You only need a ensure UniRPC is active and you license for UV/Net on the server you wish to access. I don't recall you need to anything other than the UniRPC Daemon listening for requests and it will invoke uvnet for your client request. 2. Security I can't recall if you're using UNIX or not...(it is supposed to OS independent) Although, UV/Net is supposed to set the effective user (UID numer) and group (GID numer) for the remote users connecting to the remote UV server...if required. Plus if specified - as you're doing so. My experience with similar DB product tools is it is far better to have the UID and GIDs directly aligned. Specifically: make sure the UID and GID for the same named accounts are exactly the same on both servers. Or if you use SET.REMOTE.ID that the account locally has sufficient rights or in fact it exists. I have issues with the same accounts and groups on different users have different UIDs and GIDs on the different client and servers - causing grief/ havoc on similar products to UV/Net, etc. Also - check if you have UniVerse Dynamic Type30 files, that your UNIX file ownerships, group ownership and Other are set exactly the same. This includes the hidden file.Type30. Having different settings are recipe for lots of grief! Finally, be forewarned that allowing testers/developers access to your production server via UV/Net is an EXTREMELY bad idea! (Career terminating if things go pear shaped when they have write/delete rights!). It is far too easy for these types of users to be unaware their test account is in fact pointing to your production service and there access is write/delete. Did you try the UVNETRID environment variable in place of SET.REMOTE.ID? If you are still having issues, you may have to enabled UniRPC debugging which is very extensive and generate logs of data - but is useful for seeing exactly where things are going wrong.

In my scenario if I am on host A and want to read/write files on host B. Host B only needs to read/write files on host B but not on host A. Do I need UV/Net on host A as well as host B or just on host A? Host A is running UV 10.3.4 and host B is running UV 10.2.6. Local testing on host A to host A/DR shows record locking is working OK but if the remote file does not have read/write on ‘other’ (e.g. 660) then all writes fail regardless of how I spec the credentials via SET.REMOTE.ID. Setting the permissions to 666 is the only way I can get this to work even when using the same login and group membership at each end.

Re: [U2] Exporting to File regularly
Hi David If you upgrade to the latest UV version you have access to the built-in UV DB audit logging facility. Then you can setup a logging event to log changes to the file(s) in question. Hence, not violating the NDAs nor application flow (which you would have too if modifying the file with adding indices / triggers or the like). A simple file-based trigger (not the UV/SQL triggers - which a different more powerful beasts) that copies could make a copy to your own file or invokes a BASIC program/script to send notifications should do the trick too. A working example someone has posted on U2-Users List: http://u2-universe-unidata.1073795.n5.nabble.com/universe-11-1-triggers-via-indexing-and-IDX-IOTYPE-sample-tc41706.html#a41718 Audit logging is not for you unless you upgrade UVbut perhaps in the future...I guess you need a job to check the audit log for these events...too https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/nxt/gateway.dll/RKB14/universe/11.2/security1.pdf See page 372 Section 7 for Audit logging BTW: Look at from the vendors' perspective they have a lot of intellectual property tied up in their product.

Re: [U2] Select from one file with save-list from another file
Hi Brandon, If you want to send one of your columns/fields in your UV/SQL SELECT result to an active select list or saved list - within the same SQL query - you need to use 'TO SLIST' keyword option... See the HELP SQL SELECT online for the limitations though. For example: To save the column/field Y.INFO.packet.id to select list 0: select Y.INFO.packet.id TO SLIST 0 from X.INFO, Y.INFO where X.INFO.packet.id=Y.INFO.packet.id and X.INFO.status='ccc'; - OR- To save the column/field Y.INFO.packet.id to a saved list named MYSQLJOIN in SAVEDLISTS: select Y.INFO.packet.id TO SLIST MYSQLJOIN from X.INFO, Y.INFO where X.INFO.packet.id=Y.INFO.packet.id and X.INFO.status='ccc'; Regards, David -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Hilk, Brandon Sent: Wednesday, 28 August 2013 6:24 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Select from one file with save-list from another file Hello!

Re: [U2] UML mapping tool for MV (UniVerse)
Regardless of the toolset, the first hurdle would be to normalise your database to look like a relational one. Which is likely to be the greatest hurdle. Data dictionaries in U2/PICK are optional are a purely for reporting purposes - they can have duplicates and these can be conflicting. Even worse (as if you thought it could be) - data dictionaries can be incomplete or wrong. This added to the lack of enforcement of data integrity and constraints usually causes these toolsets to fail (indeed, even the UV/ODBC driver fails too!)... so good luck! Rocket released U2 Metadata Manager to assist in this respect and is designed to allow forward and backwards capability.

Re: [U2] [UV] Auto Starting Applications
Yes, this was a problem - but I haven't recently tried to execute UV11 and cron. UV11 has a different shared memory model - inherited from UD - in comparison to older releases. A quick test shows that phantom processes are getting their own shared memory segment under UV11. So - at first glance - it appears no longer to be an issue from UV11 onwards.

Can't put my finger on the exact documentation but I seem to recall that compound expressions are broken up into parts (for want of a better term) delimited by a ';' and each part can be referenced throughout the entire expression by an @ number e..g. @1 refers to the first part and the nth part is @n etc. So for: LIST VOC SIZE EVAL SIZE + @2;@ My take on how this works is the the first part of the expression (SIZE + @2) can be referenced later on as @1, The second part is referenced as @ (instead of @2) and I believe is used to refer to the result of the entire expression (sum of all the parts). Can @ in this case also be referenced as @2? It probably could but would break the expression. Therefore the reference to @2 is causing the expression to grab the entire result using contents of @ (via @2 thus keeping it separate to @) and add it to SIZE which then becomes the new result (@) of the expressions and the whole thing is repeated. Does that sound about tight? Or have I got it way wrong?

This was rolled out before the EXL 7000 series which were MIPS RISC/os based servers. I vaguely recall Prime was looking at Silicon Graphics and Sequent (the latter was bought by IBM) When PI/Open finally arrived it was great, but the loss of the Primos Batch subsystem and spooler was a bit of a culture shock and required some rewrites...Prime tried to port their Batch and Spooler products to UNIX (not that successfully as I recall!).

The URL I specify in SOAPCreateRequest is http://our-dev.domain.com/apps/jobs/Services/Job.svc However in the log file I get: 04/16/2013 15:05:16 [ 446706 925928 ] Assembled Request: POST /apps/jobs/Services/Job.svc HTTP/1.1 Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 05:05:16 GMT Host: our-dev.domain.com SOAPAction: http://tempuri.org/IJobService/CreateJob1UserPartyRole User-Agent: IBM UniVerse 11.x Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 1670 The POST seems to be missing the first part of the URL and with the response being a 400 bad request I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to force the complete URL? In particular is there a SOAP command that I'm missing? Briefly I do the following in this order: Ret = setHTTPDefault( VERSION , 1.1 ) Ret = SOAPSetDefault( VERSION , 1.2 ) Ret = SOAPCreateRequest( URL , SoapAction , SoapReq ) Ret = SOAPSetRequestContent( SoapReq , PAYLOAD , 1 ) Ret = SOAPSubmitRequest( SoapReq, Timeout, RespHeaders, RespData, SoapStatus ) The return codes from above are: setHTTPDefault result = 0 SOAPSetDefault result = 0 SOAPCreateRequest result = 0 SOAPSetRequestContent result = 0 SOAPSubmitRequest result = 0 The SoapStatus from SOAPSubmitRequest above is: Response status : 400▒Bad Request The RespHeaders returned from SOAPSubmitRequest above is: Response headers : Cache-Control▒private▒Server▒Microsoft-IIS/7.5▒X-Powered-By▒4.0.30319▒X-Powered-By▒ASP.NET▒Date▒Tue, 16 Apr 2013 05:46:06 GMT▒Content-Length▒0 To me the soap action seems good and the xml in the payload looks ok too so it has to be something in the delivery.

Re: [U2] How do you print a .pdf from inside a Unix Box
First up - Adobe PDF is a subset of the Adobe Postscript page description language (PDL). Some printer vendors have Postscript emulations. Most business class laser/LED printers or multi-function devices (MFDs) today have intelligent page description language detection built in and typically analyse the datastream before attempting to do anything with it...mean that they can switch between plain text from UniVerse or UNIX or PDF/Postscript or HP PCL / PXL formats and others on-the-fly... Some modern printers have Adobe PDF and Adobe Postscript (or an emulation) built-in. Meaning they can be sent files in either format. . (Side note - Google: PDF Direct Print support). If you have printers are capable of accepting Adobe PDF files - then just simply submit an those files direct to the printer from your host. If your printer has Adobe Postscript or a Postscript emulation - you translate the PDF data file into 'native' Postscript via Ghostscript or similar toolset prior to sending it to the printer. If you don't have any Postscript capable printers - you can - using Ghostscript translate the file from PDF into HP PCL or similar PDL (many are supported). Then send the generated output to your printer queue. You can write custom version of the Ghostscript supplied 'ps2pdf' script to generate to PCL file from an Postscript file (and call the script, say ps2pcl). It's not difficult to customise this scripts for your own output device (printer, image file, etc)... have done this before... As implied by others - you won't have the same capabilities nor any options to dynamically or selectively control over the output (orientation, N-up printing, duplex, tray selection, page-fit, paper type, copies, page range, etc)... that you can perform from Windows Acrobat PDF viewer. An alternative to this is to perhaps utilise one or more host-based printer print queue defined for (some of these may be feasible) such printing preferences, etc. HPJetDirect for HPUX and other UNIX platforms is pretty feature rich especially when talking with HPDirectJet printers...

Re: [U2] UV: Consuming https service from within UVBasic using SOAP
Hi Peter, You easily change that sample source code try amending these lines to access any SSL webserver/appserver. For example the Firstmac.com.au website using SSL by default I see - so that'll be a good site to use as an worked example - that uses a CA Root certificate. Basically, all you'll need a copy of you GeoTrust's root certificate accessible by your (UV SOAP/HTTP) client application. You must upload this (or any other SSL certificate) to your UV host and tell you UV application where it can be found... * Assumes client host can resolve and access this URL * For HTTPS SSL www.firstmac.com.au is using GeoTrust CA certificates, hence upload a DER copy of it first. URL = https://www.firstmac.com.au/home; * Define the full path to the GeoTrust CA Root certificate, uploaded to the host (exported in DER format) X.CERT.PATH=@PATH:/geotrust.cer ;* Full path to a DER copy of GeoTrust CA Root Certificate X.USED.AS=2 ; * 1=Self-signed, 2=CA Issued certificate X.FORMAT=2 ; * DER format X.ALGORITHM=1; * RSA key Hope this helps. The CA Root SSL certificate business is complex and is part of that steep learning curve! Good luck!

Re: [U2] U2 Test Tools for system/unit regression testing w/integration with HP QualityCenter
Thanks Brian - that sounds great! I would be keen to get a trial version, once you have a SSH capable version. How is the product licensed? -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Brian Leach Sent: Tuesday, 5 February 2013 10:14 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] U2 Test Tools for system/unit regression testing w/integration with HP QualityCenter Hi David I've recently released a testing product called (predictably!) mvTest. This supports automated testing of U2 applications using a dedicated scripting language modelled after UniBasic for familiarity but with a number of key extensions to handle data validation, test data handling, UI scripting and assertions. You can use this to create unit tests, UI tests (currently TELNET and U2-compatible secure TELNET/SSL but with SSH to follow shortly), regression and volume tests. Here's a quick overview of how it works - - You create unit or UI tests using the scripting language. These can be run through either of a Windows client or through a server-side script runner e.g. if you want to perform CI testing through a phantom. There's a nice Windows based editor to create, organize and test these. - The tests return pass or fail information based on assertions, so you can see at a glance if anything has broken. You can save the information and run various reports against it. - The tests can run direct against the database through a UO.NET connection (e.g. for testing subroutine calls and parameters) or through a terminal-style UI. It embeds a complete terminal emulator with all the necessary functions, and this allows you to drive screens, perform spot checks, branch on different results (e.g. handling error messages raised from your screens), handle send/expect style scripting and more complex conditions (such as wait until the cursor is at this location and this message has appeared here). - It keeps a separate shared server connection open while the UI tests run so you can, for example, script an entry screen via the terminal UI that ends up saving some data like a sales order, and then immediately check what has been written to the database through the underlying connection as part of the same script. - Unit tests can be organized into batches in which the tests run in order, so you can set up sequences that match business operations. - Batches can be organized into runs, so you can test whole suites of your application. Each run can be customized, so you can feed in per-site or per-system information. Runs can optionally randomize the order in which batches are executed, and you can set up different run scenarios and iteration patterns. - You can feed in and randomize test data and from the client side runner, access local features as well as the database operations. - Volume testing can take place using the Windows client. This is a multithreaded client supporting multiple concurrent UI sessions - I've tested up to 250 concurrent connections from a single PC running against an SB+ system for one customer last year who needed to stress test their SB+ system performance coming up to the New Year sales. This first release is targeting U2 with other MVDBMS to follow. I'm also adding support for GUI testing using the Microsoft Automation APIs and WebUI testing going forward.

We have a our existing test suites/scripts in HP QualityCenter (HPQC) and we currently manually capture and store the results (plus track 'defects') there as well. Ideally, this tool should be able to integrate with HPQC. At minimum some means to capture results - test case number plus success/failure to a file. Our primary application interface is via a terminal interface via SSH emulating VT220 terminals. But we also use various interfaces UV Clients APIs or third-party utilities (accessed via UNIX shell scripts or the like). Ideally, testing package should be able to drive (simulate keystrokes via keyboard entry) or invoke all of these in some fashion. Hence some sort of scripting of terminal emulator or UNIX shell and/or client APIs would be ideal. Another requirement is a tool that has the ability to perform simulated end-user terminal session load testing (ie., connect X number of users via terminal emulation over SSH and perhaps client APIs too) - we would could simulate actual users interactive access and run X, Y or Z test scripts. The primarily purpose of this is to simulate database record locking contention, etc. under load, etc. Plus other stress testing under load. Your solution could be a commerical product or a perhaps some in-house tool or opensource or combination thereof...whatever it is - I'd be interested to hear about this tool or your experience of attempting to do this. Thanks in advance for any feedback. Cheers, David ** IMPORTANT MESSAGE * This e-mail message is intended only for the addressee(s) and contains information which may be confidential.

Re: [U2] [UD] Disabling/blocking ODBC
Brian, *UOLOGIN works for me in UV11.1.9 AIX. What arguments are you specifying? I haven't got been able to get *ODBCLOGIN to work. I'm speculating if the arguments the same though - such is the nature of undocumented features? Perhaps they should have *APILOGIN to for all API clients?

Re: [U2] Universal COMO
So you do what you want to do, but not hard code it and hence require manual updating of all those VOCs. When you want to move for some reason...like lack of disk space or a new disk letter... UD also supports multiple version to operate on the same host/server...done mainly through the use of shell variables to point to proper version. Much like you can do with Oracle too. Now that would be handy if UV could do that too...especially when upgrading/test new releases, etc. Back to your query... In the past we use to have multiple UV accounts from the old legacy systems. But then we bit the bullet and simply created a single account. Not all sites can do this if you have duplicate filenames. We had few files like this and just renamed them and end up prefixing the duplicates with the (original) account name to ease the transition. Then we just change any applications/dictionaries that use to refer to. We didn't have any issues with duplicate HOLD, SAVEDLISTS nor COMO filenames. But you do have to aware of potential gotchas like this when applications start overwriting each other's' output. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2013 7:07 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Universal COMO What's the reason for using a variable, @MY_COMO, instead of the actual path ? -Original Message- From: Bill Haskett wphask...@advantos.net To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Wed, Jan 23, 2013 7:22 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Universal COMO In UniData (on Windows) this is pretty simple.

Re: [U2] Database time question
Potentially simple approach is to have separate server or virtual machine for your other UDT environment setup with the desired timezone. No code changes. On AIX, you can setup a WPAR for stuff like this pretty easily. Or change you source code... The best solution depends on if you control the source code for the application and how it currently extracts and utilises the time information. By implication, you will also need to separately maintain the date information as well in your application. Especially, if it cross the multiple timezones or the international dateline... One approach is to ask the user to specify the timezone they wish or simply force it when they get into the respective account. Then you merely store a time offset (to your servers real time zone) in a separate field in addition to the time / date fields in your respective files (perhaps using a file based trigger if you don't want to change the code). Then just update date time display routines (a good time to make sure you have a single routine) to check if there is an offset and apply prior to displaying. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Robert Frailey Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2013 4:45 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Database time question Running unidata on hpux11.11i I have two databases in unidata that I would like to operate at different time zones.

As long as your OS and the filesystem is already 64-bit enabled - you should be able to resize the UV file to 64BIT (make sure you have a verified backup first :)). Otherwise, use UV distributed file create a logical file view of your UV physical files. Note that BCI is a programmatic API interface only - that implements OBDC calls, it's not a DB-level interface of likes of EDA or UV/Net, etc. Useful largely with batch-like operations to push/pull data.

Re: [U2] How to check which sproc is called by user
Here's some troubleshooting tips we use for our applications using the U2 APIs in background non-interactive processes. We have a common interfacing subroutine our API clients must use to sign-on and initialise their UV environment. In that code, we turn on COMO output, to capture any output that BASIC code or any other UV command may output. We tend to generate unique COMO filenames, with the OS user ID, process-ID, UV User No. and a date stamp - as typically you're executing multiple instances under the same user ID. With this, we can see what unexpected input or output is captured. Otherwise, you never really know what's going on. For further debugging we have a debug subroutine we can put into a code to log messages to a sequential file with details of what step or data is being processed. We use to as a non-invasive way to capture detail information. It is really just something of a glorified PRINT statement you'd have in BASIC program you'd place to debug it when running from a terminal session...but written to a unique log file for each background process. We've found it valuable in the past - especially in the development stage to do this. Then remove it or disable it later. You don't mention if your UniObjects code is designed to interact with interactive UV BASIC or UV commands. This could be an issue regardless, if someone changes code that expects terminal input and none is forthcoming. If you don't already, have a ON.ABORT and ON.EXIT paragraph setup to log the fact that your API process has triggered that. Just simply outputting the fact it got executed should be sufficient. This you know if aborted or cleanly exited UV - something which isn't always easy to determine due to lack of decent session event logging in UV. We also have a protocol that API processes must sign-off so we can tell if they cleanly exited from the application. This is useful as well. Likewise, the application has a transaction log which flags when the update transaction starts. That isn't cleared, if abnormal termination of the application occurs. Further nor future transactions aren't possible for the user ID until it is cleaned/investigated - but that's then logged.

Thanks for the response Brian, PORT.STATUS should be useful for our situation. I'll try and be a little more specific and hopefully I know what I'm talking about: We have a web application which is using UniObjects and we are randomly getting multiple (we've seen as many as 9) user sessions in the LISTU which appear to be hung and it's causing us to reach our user limit. We have debugged the web application and verified that all sessions are being closed properly so we do not believe that it's on the web side of things. Although, we cannot duplicate this problem in the live application either, so we cannot say for sure it's not on the web side. My first thought was that the application is calling a PICK subroutine that is stalling (possibly waiting for input or stuck in an infinite loop or something). So, at this point all we know is we are getting these stalled sessions but we don't know how. Hopefully with PORT.STATUS we can see whether is a PICK subroutine that is stalling? Now, to limit the severity of this problem we discovered there is a Timeout property of the UniSession object. However, it seems in the past we were advised against setting this parameter by Rocket support and that this timeout should be handled in the unirpcservices file in the unishared directory? Does that sound right? UniAdmin uses the timeout in the unirpcservices file so I don't think we would want to shorten the timeout and be booted from UniAdmin sooner.

Re: [U2] [UV]Corrupted object in global catalog
Here's some options for you... 1. Verify it is cataloged in Global Catalog The subroutine !EXIST subroutine was created for Prime INFORMATION compatibility and does a simple check to verify the program is catalogued only. Check out the source code in UV account APP.PROGS, EXIST. 2. Verify Object code matches The VCATALOG verb is also used to verify the compiled object in your BP object file and the Global Catalog space are the same. (Interestingly, on my UV11.1.9/AIX system, VCATALOG isn't working! :-( ). 3. Extract detailed object code header data Finally, writing your own custom verification utility combining VLIST verb and/or Gyle Iversons' excellent (NB: I understand he will soon close down this website) SRS.UV.HEADER subroutine to extract header information from the global catdir and your BP object file for comparison purposes.

We have recently upgraded to the latest version of our vendor's software, and in the process have gone from Pick flavored accounts to Ideal flavored accounts. This has drastically changed the way programs are cataloged, as we are now using the global catalog directory (catdir, aka GLOBAL.CATDIR). We have discovered that some of the object code in the global catalog is corrupted (for lack of a better term). It looks like some of the object code files were somehow truncated. Since we don't discover this until someone notices that a program is behaving oddly, or working differently between the different servers (dev, test, production), and since the date stamp on the file in the catdir directory is the last time someone ran the program (as opposed to the time it was actually cataloged), it is impossible to tell if the object code was 'bad' from the beginning or got corrupted somewhere along the way. At this point, we can just recatalog everything. It would be a royal pain, but it is possible to do. That would ensure everything was all good right now, but doesn't do anything to make sure it stays that way. Does anyone know if there is a command we can ruin or some other way to verify object code in the global catalog? We would much rather monitor this proactively than wait until a user runs into a mysterious issue that we can't explain - or worse, runs something that ends up corrupting data because of a problem with the object code. Of course the ideal would be to figure out what's corrupting the object code to begin with - or to be able to determine if it was somehow corrupted in the initial install and we're just running into the bad pieces now. Without being able to monitor the object code and see when/if it gets corrupted again, though, that's going to be almost impossible. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Re: [U2] Universe 11.x
Your mileage will vary - the more UV specific features or APIs or the like you utilise - they more issues you're likely to have. As these tend to change at each release. If on the other hand, you have plain vanilla application then you're unlikely to have issues...then all you're doing is project managing your migration to a new host, UV release and performing testing to ensure you configuration, software and end-to-end processes are A-OK afterwards. As with any software release - carefully review the release / technical notes - especially if you have any mind any new feature you wish to use. Caution and clear objectives on how and why you're going to implement ADE is recommended. It's a greatly improved facility over previous versions - with some new features added to dramatically improve it and easy administration. However, never buy or use version 1.x of any software - extra care (and testing) is needed (especially reading the tech / release notes so you're fully aware of known issues - some which can be OS and release specific). Some good test cases for worse cases scenarios for ADE would be recommended too... also think about what would happen if you needed to retrieve encrypted files from backups. Will these same backups include the UV version/keys, etc. that you can restore the data in any unencrypted form? Is the administrative overhead of maintaining a ADE database files really worth it?

Re: [U2] Advantage of indirect call in BASIC
If you encounter this, it is probably a Prime INFORMATION (PI) legacy code. As this was a commonly used convention in natively developed PI applications (rather than PICK-ported apps). As globally catalog'd object was a typical naming convention for production object in PI. Plus as mentioned by others it was also primarily for performance reasons. Some of those performance reasons still exist. If you don't resolve the subroutine name in your BASIC code, then the VOC file has to be referenced to find out the true catalog name. If you define and call a variable - if by-passing the VOC calling entirely. Of course there were many non-native applications running on PI from the PICK world that never took any advantage of this and many other PI features. Legacy PICK code tends to be account catalog centric (ie., *MYACCT*MYOBJECT). So typically doesn't use this convention, we use this convention to define test / non-production object code in the catalog space. Hence, we also use it to load/deignate different versions of the object code dynamically. Our account initialisation code defines *CATALOGNAME as the production code. When initialising on logon to the UV account, It then checks the local VOC for any different definitions in the local account - and asks the test user (not end-users) if they wish to local that object version. This allows versions of the code to be loaded for different users - for testing and pre-implementation purposes - on demand. For example, we run to run *V1.1*SOME.PROGRAM rather than *SOME.PROGRAM. This is especially useful if you share your single UV environment with multiple accounts and versions of your software. This saves having change VOC entries too, but of course you can do that too. But then if you have some users that don't what or need to test that version - then how would you control/enforce that?

Re: [U2] [BDT] A giant leap forward
Yes, it is a vastly improved beast over earlier versions. Like others, I not a fan of the timeout of the UniObject session. BDT has features the competition has yet to add. I especially like being able to expand the inserts and see the BASIC Labels easily accessible. I still haven't been to get to SSH to our hosts, but I have never had the time to dig in the whys, etc. It is still worthwhile looking at U2Logic XLR8Editor and Brian Leach's freeware Windows thick-client MVDeveloper. I don't use any of these tools myself (occasionally fire up BDT)... but have trialled an early version of XLR8Editor...and trialled MVDeveloper. www.u2logic.com/tools.html (the links to download the documentation seem to have gone AWOL) http://www.brianleach.co.uk/pages/mvdeveloper.htm Each has unique features which means you choose the one the suits your needs. Or use all of them! I'm not a big fan of Eclipsed based products. I loathe the wealth of non-functional menus, menu-items that they all seem to have. Its weird shoving your specific tool into some else's generic tool framework.

Re: [U2] Consuming Web Services
Very true and I agree that the DB Server (SQL, et al) and the DB client engine (UV) models each have pros and cons. UV is a lightweight DB and application engine with some very good capabilities in the DB and application area. Plus of course some truly powerful features too! It is not the best or worse in any of these fields. It fills its own little niche very nicely. UV has had some truly good native SQL engine abilities (schemas, tables, triggers, integrity constraints, stored procedures, dynamic normalisation of multi-valued fields, etc) for a long time. Not tacked on like the UD counterparts. But next to no one uses them. As they would break your legacy application. Plus if you created a new application/DB using it - you may as well use a read SQL database server! Some of the nifty features of true SQL DB servers are really to work around the limitations of the relational model and how you store your data (requiring complex joins, queries, etc). Which tends to make those nifty features essential. Whereas SQL DB servers are progress in leaps and bounds in many different and diverse ways and this is where they truly diverge - be it to cater for massive databases or distributed or failover-active/active database clusters, etc., of any data type or structure you could imagine. Whereas the U2 database engine has not really progressed or evolved much at all in reality - that is not a bad thing. Adding various extensions to the traditional PICK/U2 application interfaces is a very good thing. It does add lots of functions that are truly useful - requiring minimal effort and zero install or cost (a key requirement for lots of sites). If you need something better AND you have local talent to build/maintain it (or consultancy budget) - then go again and do it. :) There are many examples of organisations using their own interfaces/extensions - because they can afford something better that works for them. Your mileage and budgetary will vary! Hence, as you imply - use each database - exploiting their inherent strengths. Use the right tool for the right job. Every tool has its sweet spot! ;) I won't mention the number of MS Access databases out there doing real work...groan! -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Symeon Breen Sent: Thursday, 4 October 2012 5:56 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] Consuming Web Services But we all know U2 is much more than a DB, in fact it is also much less than a DB.

For these stored procedures do exist but are usually kept to a minimum and certainly only for data interaction. The U2 databases are actually quite stupid, they store and retrieve data from tables in a (hopefully) quick and efficient manner, but they certainly don't do any of the clever stuff you find inside Sql server like map reduce, caching, indexing etc. The clever bits are what we do in the unibasic code.

Re: [U2] Universe; SQL; Indexes?? (10.3.7 on Windows)
Try and be very specific what it is you are doing and why. For example - why are you using SQL? Are you doing SQL queries via the TCL prompt or using a client tool on Windows? What is the query? What do you mean by 'optimize the performance'...Etc., etc. UV has two query languages and a single database engine. Meaning, there is should be no difference in respect to the utilisation of indices. Clearly, if you have having to do a SQL query that requires unnest or join operation - then indices may not be significant in improving performance. Try adding the EXPLAIN keyword to your query give some clue to what (if any) query optimisation is going on...including of indices. Being unfamiliar with SQL can also be part of the issue...it's extremely powerful and can be difficult to master. Hence not for the faint hearted - especially if the query is complex and/or your table/schema is also complex. You can perform queries which can have a profound impact on the system performance, if incorrectly structured. Indexes aren't the answer to every optimisation issue. There needs to be a balance between cost versus benefit. It depends on the nature and utilisation of the file in question. Therefore: one really needs to optimise one's own SQL skills...not an easy ask...then optimise your query in order maximise expected query performance. Or perhaps avoid SQL, if it is not really necessary to utilise it.

Is your UVCONFIG parameters still set to the default values? If so, you need to change these to suit. You can baseline them using your previous UVCONFIG parameters from your old host and see how your application performs.

All, We recently upgraded and virtualized our UniVerse servers to UV 11.1 64-bit on a Cisco UCS B Series platform with a NetApp 3040A/A Filer. Going to 64-bit with an upgrade in the virtualized environment, we expected to see a noticeable (if not significant) increase in performance than we were achieving on our old physical 32-bit server. However, not only has performance not notably increased, we are having random slowdowns in various areas of the system that were not occurring before. I say random, because while it does seem to affect certain areas more, it is not consistent. Some examples of behavior that has changed since the virtualization: An SB screen that has some calculated fields on it will take a minute to load, but the next time it loads it loads in just a couple seconds for the same record. An ASP webpage with 10+ queries against different files (heavy-duty processes) using Web DE to connect will takes 5-6 minutes to load that was only taking a minute before. Randomly, saving a change in the SBClient screen designer on our Dev environment will hang for 20-30 seconds. (Same virtualized specs, but far less traffic due to being a dev environment.) Simply initiating a telnet session, sometimes it will be 10-15 seconds before the login prompt appears to enter username and password. Does anyone out there have any experience with any of these pieces (UV 11.1 64-bit, Cisco UCS, NetApp Filer) that could shed some light on why we are now seeing these performance issues? Thanks.

Re: [U2] Universe 10.1.22 on AIX 5.3 ML 4
Hi Bob My bad experience with label common variables in the same context was we implemented a program that compiled and implemented - it had the very same variables. It never got picked-up in the testing, 'cause it didn't use the variable for display purposes...Hence, our terminal attributes go screwed up - screw displays for unrelated programs stopped working. Perhaps you have a similar issue? Hence well known prefix for reserved variables is always advisable (TERM$ENTRY$, etc) - of course it is very hard to go back into 10-20 year old code though to fix though. If not thatare you also certain your didn't customise your uv terminfo database for the terminal emulation in question? You never know! I assume ENTRY$ = @(-14):@(-17) is the equivalent = Stop Rev Video and Insert Line. I am guess you have a test program you have to ensure the escapes output match that? Also, have you re-compiled and re-cataloged (if applicable) all your application code? Every time we upgrade or refresh our server / upgrade UV - we perform an install from scratch - we don't assume anything is installed (usually it's a new server, new install). Plus we always re-compile source, re-catalog object code, re-compile dictionaries, resize files before migration and post-migration.

Re: [U2] Enterprise Scheduling solution
Like another poster said AutoSys is common enterprise multi-platform scheduling tool with it's own scripting/scheduler language. But it won't be cheap and it probably will be an overkill. Tivoli, There are lots of similar tools out there, some optimized for the major enterprise ERP packages, RDBMSs, etc. Some of the larger enterprise multi-platform/ERP/DB schedulers can be found from companies such as UC4 Software, Tidal Software, etc. Another interesting open source scheduler (with optional support from the developer) is Open Scheduler (http://www.sos-berlin.com/modules/cjaycontent/index.php?id=osource_scheduler_introduction_en.htm). It is multi-platform, has an API, supports remote host job execution, is using XML format configuration files, job editor, job monitoring GUI via a webserver, optionally complex jobs can be managed via a number of majors databases (not UV though - but didn't check if it had a generic JDBC/ODBC driver). What all will have issues with UV and what should concern you is their inter-interoperability, impact on your U2 licenses (depending on how they invoke jobs), job management and the inability for UV applications executing to return return codes back to them to indicate success or failure of their execution. The later may negate much of the functionality of such tools if are unaware of the state of your jobs (specifically when the process terminates).

Re: [U2] UVSQL CALL with MSSQL Openquery against linked UV server.
Hi Stuart, I've used SQLExecDirect with UV before, we always allocate and prepare for each of the required parameter markers. Then call UV BASIC subroutines via SQLExecDirect. I would hazard a guess that QueryTool is doing a SQLExec and Transact-SQL pass-through is doing a SQLExecDirect. The later which requires the parameters to be pre-declared using SQLPrepare in order for the query result set to be returned successfully. You could test this by calling DATE using both tools and see what happens. As it has no parameters - I suspect both queries should work. Whereas, anything requiring parameters is likely to fail where the tool is using SQLExecDirect. Finally, is your ZSELECT_CUST a BASIC subroutine? Is it globally catalogued? If not, try cataloguing it as *ZSELECT_CUST and then call it like CALL *ZSELECT_CUST(1), etc. Hope this helps... :) Regards, David -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Boydell, Stuart Sent: Monday, 16 May 2011 5:48 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] UVSQL CALL with MSSQL Openquery against linked UV server.

We went live with one our clients in Sep 2006 and then 10 more moved over in Nov and Dec 2006. I spent the next six months moving most of the rest of our clients to UniData. I'd say I spent about a thousand man hours on this. It could have been half that, but I had no help from anyone (including IBM/RS) except Colin Alfke in Canada.

HTH, Bill - Original Message - *From:* Bill Haskett *To:* 'Bob Little' *Date:* 2/28/2006 6:29 AM *Subject:* Re: [U2] Changes to mail list configurations We're mostly done but have spent about 140 man-days. We spent a fair amount of our time grinding away with the line editor. We were constantly editing data, dictionaries, VOC entries, and BASIC programs. We were able to port a few utilities to UD to help (a TCL shell, a file listing program, a dictionary listing program, and a screen-scroll program). We feel that we could have saved about 30% of our time if there was a decent screen editor, as the productivity was extremely low with the stone age line editor (AE). This would have saved us about 40 man-days! We spent about 20% of our time messing around with moving D3 to UV to UD and all subsequent data moves. This would have saved us around 30 man-days. There weren't too many surprises but there were some. Here are the major ones: 1) There was absolutely no interest by IBM in helping us, 2) There were absolutely no utilities to assist in the conversion. When I consulted at a large UD user they had converted from Sequoia several years before and they said there were numerous utilities that converted their dictionaries and BASIC programs. These were unavailable to us. 3) We had to convert to UV first then to UD...well, not actually. We had to move our data to UV, convert the dictionaries, then move to UD. However, we eventually found a utility to restore a D3 account to UniData, which helped tremendously during our client upgrades. 4) There is no (or virtually no) security in U2. It's handled by the O/S. 5) There are no users in U2. They're managed by the O/S. 6) UD requires a lot more interaction with the O/S. For instance, since UD has no 'Q' pointers you have to create file pointers using environment variables. In Windows, this requires the creation of the environment variables on the server...very strange. 7) There is no backup facility in UD. 8) I-Descriptors don't apply to each value in a multi-valued field. One has to mange the multi-values as though the dbms was never designed to have multi-values. There are separate functions for multi-values and if one uses a called subroutine, the subroutine has to manage the multi-values and return an MV array back. There are also some peculiarities to UD (things you wouldn't believe). For instance: 1) COPY MYFILE '1''2''3' TO:(ANOTHERFILE ...sometimes doesn't work at all. COPY, BASIC, CATALOG, DELETE-LIST, and numerous other VERBS can't handle multiple items in the command line. You have to SELECT the items first before executing these verbs. 2) You can't create an account from within UD. You have to open a DOS window, create a directory, and execute a DOS command from within this new directory. 3) A new UD account has all kinds of new UD files created within the account. Not really a big deal but surprising. 4) Managing your TERM settings is difficult. 5) Some default settings are weird. For instance, when compiling a BASIC program it gets globally compiled and cataloged...like a new MV user wants this by default?! :-) 6) Items in the SAVEDLISTS file have a number appended to the end so one won't be able to manage these without using the ...LIST commands. For instance SAVE-LIST BILL ends up in the SAVEDLISTS file as BILL000. Some other things to expect: + SAVED LISTS - In D3 you can SELECT-LIST ME YOU and you get a list of both lists. In UD you need to SELECT WHATEVER TO 1 then SELECT WHATEVER TO 2 then MERGE.LIST 1 UNION 2 TO 3 and hope it works. :-) - In

Re: [U2] User LogOut Cabbage
It is my view that you should never manipulate any UniVerse file (even directories) from outside UniVerse (especially when it is up)...without due care or being aware of the negative impact, etc. If you must clear SAVEDLISTS, use the vendor supplied CLEAR.FILE command. If you execute say CREATE.FILE MYUNIXDIR 19, it will create .Type19 within the UNIX directory created - common sense says you should do so too. :-) UniVerse will always use the correct UMASK you define (which should be set in your LOGIN or UV.LOGIN so it is consistently applied for every UV process) when you use CREATE.FILE. Good practise dictates you should use the tools and processes provided by the vendor unless there is a very good reason(s) why you should not.

Re: [U2] Multi-Threading Universe Socket traffic
I'd agree with this approach...I've used it many times before... A good well thought out design well help you...design first: code second :-) I've in the past done the following: - control program to configure, start/monitor/stop phantom processes - I find writing a phantom process which logs what it is doing/done is used for debugging purposes too (saves guessing what's going) - just remember to have a toggle to turn this on/off for production (to save disk space) - it is important that each phantom logs its progress, its process ID, start, last checkpoint reached and that it has successfully terminated. This helps prevent the case of you accidently firing off 100 phantoms and consuming all your UV licenses, etc. :-) The purpose of this is to: - make the process scalable and tuneable without re-coding via parameter record (include things like operating windows, etc) - have an application to manage the phantoms and monitor what they're doing (or if they're doing anything) - have phantom processes log what they're doing and allow options for a verbose logging mode to log everything they're doing in case of problems Some approaches I've used: a) each phantom could be started with a unique saved list of record keys to processed (generated by a control program or some other process beforehand) b) each phantom can perform its own query (but sleeping for a specified period so not to continuously performing disk I/O) c) Inbound and outbound transaction phantom process - each handles only response or send requests respectively. Such an approach only works if you can reconcile the response with the original request. Very application specific and not generally optimised for throughput. We first tested this to get ensure we weren't thrashing the disk I/O with too many phantom processes...as this was a pure database read/lock/write type transactional batch process. Use performance monitoring tools to help you do this. Plus your case - networking monitoring, etc. Yours needs to be optimised for sockets I/O as well as DB updates. It shouldn't be opening/closing socket connections unnecessarily (if that wasn't obvious already) - due to the high over head of doing so. Like disk I/O you need to be ensure that the path out to your internet connection is already optimised so it doesn't contribute to the delays. Likewise that it can support X number of connections and your third-party service provider allows you to do this. I'd say you need to optimise your socket program first and think about how to multi-stream (multi-thread implies low-level OS type functions) your processing. Care needs to be taken to ensure you design your process with the with sufficient error handling to ensure that you don't write an application which becomes part of the problem! This is so easy with stuff like this to go amiss. :-) Before you go live - in your test environment - try to break this process (overload/kill phantoms). Better it breaks there, than in production. It's really hard to fix UV problems, when you have no licenses left :-( Good luck. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Symeon Breen Sent: Monday, 7 March 2011 8:17 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] Multi-Threading Universe Socket traffic Ok the python solution mentioned is one way - however this multi threading you requiree is not a multi threading requirement - you are consuming a socket service, and not accepting connections, - we do this kind of thing all the time using phantoms.

You can then start 10 processes running all doing the same thing and they will work through the file. Or you could have process 1 doing all the ones beginning with a 1, 2 for 2 and so on.

Re: [U2] U2 soap server on startup
Unless you need a Windows service for specific reason...a Windows scheduled task should be fine. Of course there are pros and cons to that approach such as scalability and recovery, etc. Multiple instance sexecuting, etc., etc. There are many free Windows Run As Service wrappers out there. The free generic ones are very basic and Java unaware. There are a few Java specific wrappers, including this one: http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/download.jsp From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Lettau, Jeff [jlet...@polkaudio.com] Sent: Friday, 25 February 2011 1:07 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] U2 soap server on startup Sorry, Windows I saw the commands in the manual for runsoapserver and stopsoapserver.

Re: [U2] [UV][AIX] System Management and Performance Tools
We have used nmon on AIX. But we don't use UV on AIX here. It's free and doesn't come with anything fancy like the commercial toolsets... I have used GlancePlus on HP-UX. There is an AIX version available and a trial can be arranged via: https://h10078.www1.hp.com/cda/hpms/display/main/hpms_content.jsp?zn=btocp=1-11-15-28^9637_4000_100 Whatever tool you use, where it lets you categorise UNIX processes will help. In the past, a previous employer hired a consultant from HP to do the analysis (GlancePlus temp license came with the consultancy). He put together a report to help tune HP-UX and help us identify processes that we needed to optimise. Whatever the tool, clearly you need to have a good handle of what processes you run. You can do additional stuff like have your own phantom verb which logs when it is fired up and get your any program run as phantom to log it's PID, @PARASENTENCE and @SENTENCE values into a log file (along with date time stamps, etc). Correlate these with your performance collections stats which hopefully includes PIDs and UNIX commands (uv, uvsh, phantom, u2amiproxy, etc, etc).. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Boydell, Stuart Sent: Friday, 21 January 2011 11:04 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] [UV][AIX] System Management and Performance Tools Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for systems monitoring/management tools for aix5.3/uv10.2.4.

Re: [U2] UVODBC Connection Problem
Are you certain the UniRPC daemon is started on your UV HPUX host? Also I suggest you do a CONNECT to localuv via TCL prompt to ensure every is OK from UV on your host system before hand...if you are unable to do an local connection it's very unlikely a remote connect will work either. At the TCL prompt, type CONNECT and press ENTER/RETURN key - this should show all your ODBC data sources from default UCI configuration file. Ensure the localuv definition is correct for your HPUX host (IP or hostname is correct) that you're performing the test on. If the localuv definition details are all correct, then proceed to connect to localuv to the application UV account you wish to do the test.

Re: [U2] Connectivity issue with ODBC - SQL.
You don't mention the nature of the processing you're doing...so here's some 'potential' scenarios... :) But in reality it could be lots of things... 1) Lost connection to UV Is it possible you connection is timing out? That is, your UV ODBC connection is timing out - possibly? Check the timeout in your unirpcservices file for ODBC connections and check what your application is doing - perhaps it is opening the connection first, doing a MS SQL query and in the mean time the connection is lost? 2) UV SQL Query failure due Check the log files on the UV side in the account where you queries are connecting to for any log files (uvodbc.log or uverror.log, etc) applicable for your UV release. Is the files/tables you're querying dynamic hashed files (are they OK? Not need of repair/fixing) and have you checked by manually doing the same SQL query from UV itself using the CONNECT verb or at the TCL prompt in the account you're connecting to? Are there any SQL Updates going on? If so I'd be thinking that there is locking contention issues may be happening (such things you can't reproduce on demand)... I also wonder if your process is running out of memory or the like (any core files?)...perhaps consider explicitly setting up the buffers in the uci.config. But that seems unlikely and perhaps should be a last resort type change! Yet, again speculation unless we really know what you're query is doing... It may be worth while to turn on some UVODBC logging if you still have problems - beware of log file sizes though! :) Regards, David -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Ken Ford Sent: Wednesday, 24 November 2010 12:44 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Connectivity issue with ODBC - SQL.

Re: [U2] Building XML using the UV XDOM API functions
Hi Gregor Thanks for sharing your useful experiences and your blog. I found the same issue with U2 MQSeries API documentation too. Although, I guess when you are using such complex API's - it helps first to understand the underlying technology and concepts. Be it MQSeries or XML, etc. Otherwise, it is a case of learning or mis-learning two things at once. I find nearly all documentation from vendors have issues. Be they specialists in a particular field of a jack-of-trades multi-national software corporation. :) Your mileage will varyas it vary in respect with your own competency and the fact one size can never fit all skills/knowledge (etc)...be it tools or documentation or vendors or consultants! ;-) I do see value in investing some time/effort in the potential value that third-party tools and consultants can provide. Should budget, time and capabilities dictate such a requirement. Alas, we rarely have enough the later attributes...

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.

Re: [U2] Impossible to handle big files (over 2 Gb) with Universe onPowerPC
Hi Augusto, Oh, I see. I guess the only option you have is to either move off PowerPC or get the AIX for PowerPC - then you can get vUV 10.3.x? I guess that isn't going to be cheap or perhaps not feasible for your existing server? Or perhaps use UV/Net to connect to a server with a later version of UniVerse that has 64BIT files?

Re: [U2] Universe 10.3 - Issues with I-Types when using subroutine calls, and the dictionary items is Alt-key
The most common problems with conversions to new versions of UV is that the UVCONFIG parameters are not aligned to what they were under the previous release and/or what is appropriate for the new OS and UV version. Where applicable you must also ensure if you are re-hosting (ie., different host) that any applicable kernel changes if using a version UNIX - for the new release are made in accordance with Rocket U2 recommendations and your actual requirements for your application (ie., your UVCONFIG, etc). Check MFILES.

Re: [U2] Tracing ODBC requests
Hello Ken, Check out the API Supplement PDF (apisupp.pdf) Try this... haven't used it for a long time...I believe ODBC connections go via uvserver. Last time I used was for uvcs though, I can't recall it actually works for ODBC connections. You can also get your remote system to invoke a stored procedure to your UV Regards David Extracted out of the PDF: Logging Client Connections Beginning at UniVerse 10.0, a server-side debugging log is available for tracking client connections. The debugging log is located in the /tmp/ directory on UNIX, or C:\tmp on Windows platforms, by default. Complete the following steps to set up the debugging log: 1.Edit the serverdebug file in the UVHOME directory. 2.In the first column, enter uvcs, indicating that you want to log the connection progress for both uvapi_server and uvapi_slave. 3.In the next column, enter an integer indicating the level of logging information you want to maintain. The valid integers are: 0 - No debugging. 1 - Captures information about the startup connection only. 9 - Captures information about every call. 4.In the third column, enter the full path for the log file location. If this value does not exist, the logs are written to /tmp/uvapiserver_###.log as the default on UNIX systems, or C:\tmp\uvapiserver.log as the default on Windows systems. is the uvapi_server process ID. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Ken Ford Sent: Tuesday, 20 July 2010 1:35 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Tracing ODBC requests Hello List Members.

Re: [U2] UniJDBC calling UV subroutine: MESSAGE command limitations?
Does the !MESSAGE subroutine work? It probably just calls the MESSAGE verb! :) Pages 57-59 (3-15) of the UV 10.3 Sysdesc.pdf (Feb 09) details the Dispatch Codes and Processor Modes available. I can't recall watch combination you need. But you likely need the Dispatch Code not be E or U.
