Re: [U2] copying files in Unix from one IBM AIX computer to another IBM AIX computer
Louie Bergsagel wrote: I'm trying to copy UniVerse files (all types) from one computer to another using an NFS mount and the Unix cp command, but am getting damaged files because they are in use. They are large files, between 4 and 22 gigs, some hashed, some dynamic, some directories. I tried to suspend UniVerse and then copy one file or directory, then unsuspend, but that hasn't helped. I am wondering if I need to pause a minute or so between the suspend (uv -admin -L) and the copy? In other words, is suspend immediate, or does it finish all the current writes and then pause? -- Louie in Seattle --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ If you are using jfs2 filesystems you can create snapshots (man snapshot) then copy from the snapshot to your other system. I recommend rsync for the copy also if you wanted to avoid NFS. You should still quiesce the database, though. But it would reduce your downtime to seconds, potentially. It boils down to this... stopud (or dbpause) create snapshots mount snapshots startud (or dbresume) copy at your leisure remove snapshots I've never used dbpause, probably because the thought of many many transactions being buffered until dbresume scares me.

Re: [U2] Comparison Unidata and Universe
Adrian Matthews wrote: Does anyone actually use the editor for cutting code these days though? Absolutely! From what I've seen, most folks who take the time to learn vi will never go back. The only thing AE is good for is macro-fixing savedlists of records, IMHO. It really astonishes me that folks continue to use AE for editing programs where you can really only look at one line at a time. I've been using full screen GUI editors for years now. I think I'd pull my hair out going back. GUI editors generally lack many of the vi features: use of regular expressions, superior cut and paste, multiple cut/paste buffers, the ability to read the output of external commands into the file, the ability to employ Unix shell utilities (like sed or awk) to edit the file etc etc. The only GUI editor I'd use for programming is vim! It is absolutely worth it to learn vi or vim for editing in UniData (and, I'm sure UniVerse too). If you're on Windows, there's Vim for Windows. I don't know much about UniVerse, but I can't imagine that an editor should make any difference as most editors should be available to either platform. On UniData just set the variable UDT_EDIT=/usr/local/bin/vim (or whatever your editor is) and voila. -- Louis --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2][UD] ODBC to UniData
Chauhan, Savita wrote: Hi, I have been trying to connect to our UniData server via ODBC. It connects fine to the demo database. But when I try to connect to my own test database from MS-Access or VSG, it gives an error message "You don't have permissions to chdir to /datatel/development/coldev" !! I create files using Envision API from Datatel in the DEVelopment account/database (/datatel/development/coldev). The entry in my ud_database file looks like this: DATABASE=demo UDTHOME=/usr/ud52 UDTACCT=/usr/ud52/demo TRACE_LEVEL=0 DATABASE=test_db UDTHOME=/usr/ud52 UDTACCT=/datatel/development/coldev TRACE_LEVEL=0 I have been fiddling around with so many things, changing permissions on files, changing the ownership, etc, as suggested by a few people; but nothing seems to work!!! Do I have to make some change/entry in some other file too for me to be able to access the DEV account/database via ODBC? Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks. This should be in an FAQ somewhere... The user who runs unirpcd must be a member of the group that owns the database. I believe user permissions are ignored. For example... unirpcd is running as root. the database you're trying to access is /datatel/development/coldev the permissions on coldev are Owner:datatel Group:cdev Perms:770 root MUST be a member of the "cdev" group. Note the lack of access control unless you set up good views and privileges!
