Re: [U2] Embedded help as hypertext
The Universe 'HELP' (and HELP BASIC and HELP SQL) listings are all contained as records in the file 'HELP.FILE'. Creating a program to make an index page and html-ized versions of the individual items would be an easy project: LIST HELP.FILE PICK*SAVE.LIST TEXT 07:59:54am 12 Mar 2014 PAGE1 HELP.FILE. PICK*SAVE.LIST Text.. SAVE.LIST . . Use SAVE.LIST to save an active select list. You can use GET.LIST . to recall this list for subsequent processing and avoid having to . repeat the selection process each time you want to use the same selec . list. . . . Syntax . . SAVE.LIST [ [ filename ] listname ] [ FROM n ] . . . Parameters . . . The following table describes each parameter of the syntax. .

It could be improved by actually having all the commands, options and functions in it first. Even the PDF versions are missing information :) However, if you want another/better built-in HELP facility for your own purposes...PIHELP may help you (it offers paging back, sub-topics, indexing, etc.)... If so, take a look at PIHELP (TCL verb) and SHOW.HELP (subroutine -SHOW) which is a port of the Prime INFORMATION help which has 'hypertext' (sub-topics) and paging (back/forwards). In PI, there was also a subroutine you could call (rather than EXECUTE PIHELP subject. It has own format where you can specify the help file source and sub-topics indexed based on keywords in the topic/help message, like this in field/line one: 0001: .*X PIHELP ONLINE COMMAND VERB TOPIC SUBJECT AID ASSISTANCE An index on the help file would on the above field allow PHELP ABOUT keyword. The FROM key word lets you specify you own help file. It is better than the native UV HELP in some respects and utilises the default SYS.HELP file or your own (if required). I did note that there is no indices for the SYS.HELP file, so the PIHELP ABOUT topic function doesn't work...the required I-type dictionary item to parse the help records appears to be missing from the dictionary of SYS.HELP (Rocket Support should be able to assist there). The source is in APP.PROGS (PIHELP.B and SHOW.HELP.B) - good luck! I guess it has been ported over for PI/open users that used this facility for their own applications... The U2 Tools have built online help too - which are handy. If you use them - I'd encourage all newcomers to use these tools and similar commercial products to supplement the built-in native command-line tools (aka terminal shell session)...

Re: [U2] Would anyone else like a change to *HS.UPDFINFO?
That would be a nice feature. I do believe that it only processes files with a * or *SELECT dictionary item however.

Re: [U2] What tools do you use for data warehouse...
There is really no reason to export the data from Universe. When I created the data warehouse product for Eclipse we simply collected all the data from the various transaction files associated with a specific reporting function and wrote them out on demand for a given query to a flattened out Universe file specifically designed to accommodate reporting/SQL. For example all of the data pertaining to sales for a particular time period on a sales order line item by line item basis as records. One the data is in an SQL friendly normalized format (and perhaps even moved to a non-production server) all of the popular data warehouse reporting tools (Cognos, Pentaho, MS Business Intelligence, SAP Crystal Solutions, etc) can be used via ODBC to create your slice and dice graphical reporting. If you absolutely HAVE to export the data I would recommend the simplest possible solution, tab delimited flat files since pretty much any SQL database can import that. Tom Whitmore wrote: Hi, I was wondering what tools you use to export data to an SQL data warehouse from UniVerse. This export could occur on multiple flavors of Unix. What we would need to do is extract the UV data and perform some data translations before importing the data into the SQL table.

Re: [U2] Refactoring Tools
*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_refactoring Code refactoring is a disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior,[1] undertaken in order to improve some of the nonfunctional attributes of the software. Advantages include improved code readability and reduced complexity to improve the maintainability of the source code, as well as a more expressive internal architecture or object model to improve extensibility.

That struck me as a little odd, so just to be sure, we tried it and couldn't get it to work. Does anyone know of an alternative way to create http requests in UniBasic that would support the PUT method? We have UniData 7.2 running on HP-UX. Most of my programming experience is on other platforms, typically on Windows, so my normal solution to this problem would be to make use of Microsoft's WinHTTP object (or one of its equivalent siblings) to handle the http request.

Re: [U2] Sleeping in Basic
Something I ran into with long ago in Universe with sleep/nap. Both use
the current TIME() as the starting point (which is milliseconds since
midnight) and then waits for your desired period. If your sleep/nap
period rolls over midnight your process will hang because its waiting to
count to a number it never gets to.

Wow, thanks of all of the responses. Unfortunately, none of them will seem to

PAUSE and WAKE, I had not heard of. This is only on UniData so not a UniVerse
option. It would seem to be a good way to go, except for if the phantom process
aborts, the WAKE is never executed and the invoking process (UniObjects
subroutine) hangs forever.
David's openSocket suggestion does not wait at all if the socket can be opened.
If it cannot (for example host name is bad), the timeout is sometimes much
longer, probably due to DNS lookup of the bad host name.
I tried these examples in the code below. The results are show below the code.
When I run this, using NAP 250, I get 4 times the same, then another 4 times the same etc. This seems to show NAP 250 does sleep for a quarter of a second.
Doing NAP 1 for 2000 iterations took 31 seconds. Probably due to overhead of
setting up NAP 2000 times.
The openSocket came right back all the time.
Any other ideas, I am open to testing.

Re: [U2] Loading a UNIX-based UNIDATA file system on a Windows system...
After loading the data on the Windows system you will have to run fnuxi (C:\u2\UV\bin\fnuxi) on each file you wish to access. I would suggest you do this as follows: - locate the directory where the Unidata files are loaded - run fnuxi on the VOC and D_VOC - drop into Unidata and create a listing of the files in the directory (LIST ONLY VOC WITH F1 = F) output to the hold file and copy the list from the hold file to the directory containing the Unidata files - using the editor of your choice prefix each line in the file tie c:\u2\UV\bin\fnuxi.exe and save it as a windows .bat file - run the batch file to convert all the files. - edit the batch file and change all the filenames to D_filename - run it again Robert wrote: I have a client that has a client's tape containing the file system from a UNIDATA system running under some form of Unix. They want to load it up on a Windows PC and using the Windows version of UNIDATA, retrieve file data. I have seen in the past that sometimes a file from one OS (like Unix) was not able to be read under a different OS (Windows). This happened once to me with a PKZIP file. There was something slightly different about the file headers or something like that. So the question is, what is the best way to load the data? Is there a conversion utility that you run AFTER you load the data to convert any file header differences? Or are the file headers compatible? Or...?

In this case the executable name is in [] at the bottom, on top is the component it called, and so forth until TCP/IP was reached. Note that this option can be time-consuming and will fail unless you have sufficient permissions. -eDisplays Ethernet statistics. This may be combined with the -s option. -fDisplays Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) for foreign addresses. -nDisplays addresses and port numbers in numerical form. -oDisplays the owning process ID associated with each connection. -p proto Shows connections for the protocol specified by proto; proto may be any of: TCP, UDP, TCPv6, or UDPv6. If used with the -s option to display per-protocol statistics, proto may be any of: IP, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, TCP, TCPv6, UDP, or UDPv6. -rDisplays the routing table. -sDisplays per-protocol statistics. By default, statistics are shown for IP, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, TCP, TCPv6, UDP, and UDPv6; the -p option may be used to specify a subset of the default. -tDisplays the current connection offload state. interval Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds between each display.

The Unidata Unix machine would connect via a socket to the Serial to Ethernet device, pass W* to the Mettler Scale ( give me the weight ), the scale would then pass back the weight through the Serial to Ethernet device.

Re: [U2] Serial to Ethernet device from Mettler Scale to Unidata/Universe
That's why I asked. For all we know it could also be 10 feet away. Robert Porter wrote: There are lots of reasons... How far is the device?We span an 11 floor set of buildings where the UV box is, plus 3 dozens other buildings across a radius of upwards of 100 miles. With serial the farther you go, the slower you have to set it. Or are you going to put in short hauls to get overt distance/speed limits? How about cabling costs? When they want to move the scale, you're going to pay to move the point to point cable again? Ethernet drops tend to be everywhere. The most that has to happen is an IP change. When it doesn't work, then what... cable itself? Connector? With a serial over ethernet, I instantly know if the device server is up and running. A potential problem is localized to at the device. Plus I get to use the included full hardware control cables - off the shelf not custom made. So I've got access to DTR, DSR, CTS, etc. signals. They're molded so I don't generally worry about them breaking. And if I ever suspected one was, I'd grab another and swap it out. Moving away from PtoP serial drops was one of the smartest moves we ever made. To the OP: Digi's are nice (use some for fax modems)... I'd also suggest Lantronix as an alternative. Specifically the UDS-1100 for single port or UDS-2100 for a 2 port. They run about $125 $175 respectively. They are rock solid. In a dozen years, I can could the failed devices on one hand.

Kevin, Yeah, ps # PORT.STATUS. Note to self, don't type before thinking.

Re: [U2] HP UX to IBM AIX questions
Both AIX and HP-UX are System V derivatives so the command structure is as close to the same as any two Unix environments. Uvbackup/Uvrestore should take care of any endian problems for both data and programs. If I've been told that Universe licenses are transferable between operating systems. Unless your directory structures are identical on the 2 machines you will probably have to rebuild indexes. You'll have to recreate all your unix spool queues and if I remember correctly (it been a while since I've been around HP-UX) the spooler setup procedures are different than AIX.

Re: [U2] Lock Status
I believe that if the program ended the lock would be released, so by finding the PID via LIST.READU and then determining the program name associated with the PID via PORT.STATUS you are identifying the program which currently holds the lock unless the program ends between the LIST.READU and PORT.STATUS. At least in my Unix/Universe world. Wjhonson wrote: This won't work unless the program is halted-waiting. Most likely it's moved on to do a hundred other things since the lock in question, but left it hanging because the pid is still living. If the pid dies it would release the lock, but for example, even on non-SB systems, phantoms which run constantly can leave locks hanging forever. -Original Message- From: Jeff Schasny jscha...@gmail.com To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Thu, Sep 8, 2011 8:34 am Subject: Re: [U2] Lock Status Kevin, I think that the closest you are going to be able to get is the program n question using LIST.READU to determine the PID and PORT.STATUS to hen find the program.

Re: [U2] Lock Status
I disagree. If I run LIST.READU and note the PID of a process holding a lock on an item then run PORT.STATUS on that PID the only way that the program shown by PORT.STATUS as currently running is not the process holding the lock would be if the program ended (thus dropping the lock) before I ran the PORT.STATUS. Wjhonson wrote: That's not the case. PORT.STATUS shows you what that PID is currently doing when you run it. Not what it was doing an hour ago for example. Not what it was doing when it set the lock. Just what it's doing now. In Unix/Universe world. If you are so lucky to know about the lock *right when* it's being set, then you are right. But in my experience that is a very rare occurence.

I can now define a new U2 data source. After entering the server name, Universe login and password, testing that the connection is good, I am then able to pick an account as the data source (The list shown surely comes from the UV.ACCOUNT file). Fine. Seemingly the data source is now defined, call it MyDataSource. The 'repositories' view shows this tree: [-] MyRepository [-] U2 Data Sources [-] MyDataSource [+] Files Now, if I click on the [+] next to Files, I expect it to expand with the available files making use of the VOC file to know what these are. But it simply flashes 'pending' for about 1/2 a second and becomes 'Files' with no [-] or [+] next to it. What step am I missing? Does there need to be some special VOC record created in the account? I am thinking perhaps the JDBC drivers are not known to DataVu, and that is the problem. The documentation states that U2 DataVu does not include JDBC drivers, however it states that one can import the JDBC library settings file. To do this, it says, one clicks on File - Import - Connection and JDBC Library Settings, etc. However! After clicking on File, there is no Import selection available at all in the drop down. (I just hate it when the documentation doesn't match the product!). Has anyone gotten past these issues? Does anyone actually use this product?

Re: [U2] Why use U2, was Interesting Article
It scales well. I benchmarked 20K concurrent users for a wholesale distribution application on a single (HP Superdome) server and that was 10 years ago. The database structure can be painlessly modified which makes it much easier for new applications development. Need a new field, slap it on the end of the table and go on with your day, try that with your favorite relational environment. Not so important today as it once was when disk was more expensive,but it uses significantly less disk space than a relational database storing the equivalent data. This also contributes to needing significantly less overall computing power to support X number of users for a given application due to more efficient IO, i.e. less disk reads required. You can use SQL, but you don't have to. This, above all, is the MY most significant reason to use U2.
