[U2] Solonde Warehouse Workbench for u2
A friend of mine is evaluating ETL tools that might be useful for developing and maintaining an MS-SQL-based data warehouse where one major data source is u2-based. My friend is probably going to use DTS (recently renamed as SSIS in MS-SQL-2005), and is also evaluating some well known tools such as Altova MapForce, and some little known tools, such as from Solonde. The Solonde WWB looks interesting, but the company's small size and lack of marketing fail to inspire confidence, and may prevent corporate HQ from approving them as a vendor. On the other hand, they do have some notable client sites in Germany. Anybody care to share their Solonde experience, either here in public, or privately, off-line? --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ CONFIDENTIALITY: This communication, including attachments, is for exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain proprietary, confidential or privileged information.

RE: [U2] Trending numbers...
This might be a question for the *other* kind of Universe database - - a Business Objects database. Your stock market analogy might be valid. Another good analogy might be weather forecasting. As with stocks, some goods and services are naturally counter-cyclical or super-cyclical, so their doing better or worse than an index isn't what matters - - what matters is whether they're trending better or worse than predicted by your economic forecasting model. To see if a stock is moving in an unexpected way, for instance, you might correlate it against some index, and then see if the stock is more than one or two standard deviations away from expected. That just raises more questions, of course: Is the fluctuation merely stochastic? Or is there a fundamental reason for it? And as with stock market analysis, you may need to strengthen your signal-to-noise ratio by using moving averages instead of just looking at daily upticks and downticks. The modeling and forecasting of economic behavior can be a lot of fun. Pick BASIC might not be the best way to do it. You say your process is SLLLOWWW. How slow? Care to share any code snippets? Maybe your algorithms are okay but your data structures are a problem. For instance, if you're repeatedly updating a number stored in a dynamic array, then you're implicitly doing a lot of variable- type recasting, and that could be a problem. --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ CONFIDENTIALITY: This communication, including attachments, is for exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain proprietary, confidential or privileged information.

RE: [U2] UniData UniCode??????????
Have you reviewed the UniData International reference manual? Reference manuals are at http://ibm.com/software/data/u2/pubs/library However, the manuals may not answer your question. For singly byte characters, the character set isn't really a database option. The character set is a terminal emulator (telnet client) option, and if you're lucky then everybody has been using the same character set, but you might be unlucky. I've seen databases where people from different countries were using different single byte character sets, but all updating the same database, with the result that no single character set could correctly list all the data in the database. I've also seen files that contained a mixture of ISO single byte character sets and Windows character sets and PC-DOS (different from Windows!) character sets. Multibyte character sets are another matter, and you should review the UniData International reference manual if you are using multibyte characters. -Original Message- From: Fawaz Ashraff Good Morning, Can any one of you tell me what character encoding unidata uses by default?

RE: [U2] [UV] Typo leads to discovery of new feature
The general argument for rejecting a pattern of digits ending with a decimal point and not followed by any decimal places (e.g. 10.) is that such a pattern often indicates a typo. The argument for accepting such a pattern, representing an integer constant, is that we've always done it that way. I don't favor a change to the representation of numeric constants, but I'd favor a change to the BASIC compiler to eliminate the implicit FMT. The implicit FMT has historically been more costly than beneficial, and still is so. The compiler would catch more typos if the absence of an operator between 2 expressions were always flagged as an error. -Original Message- From: Barry Brevik [...] what seems odd to me is the .

RE: [U2] major (?) @var security hole
Disregarding the issue of uniVerse subroutines that can corrupt some @vars. For current user name and current database location, don't use @LOGNAME and @ACCOUNT. Instead, use @AUTHORIZATION and @PATHNAME, which contain the effective owner name and the current location. It's generally preferable to use @AUTHORIZATION (current id) instead of using @LOGNAME (original id). @LOGNAME is the original login name but is not always the effective process owner. This isn't an issue on Windows servers, but on Unix and Linux most programs (such as Unix mail) use the effective id not the login id. Using @AUTHORIZATION gives the same result as executing id -un or whoami. That is, it give the first (and only, one hopes) name in /etc/passwd for the effective id. Also, it's generally preferable to use @PATHNAME instead of using @ACCOUNT. @ACCOUNT doesn't change when you do LOGTO and doesn't always show your current VOC location.

RE: [U2] AIX printers direct
Here are 2 ways to connect the UV spooler
directly to your 600 network printers.
1. use hpnptyd to make a pseudo serial port device
(/dev/pt...) for each printer. This would usually
be done at boot time, with a separate hpnptyd
process for each port, and you must wait until
after all of those 600 processes have started,
before you start your 2 spoolers (AIX and uv).
2. use universe spooler driver scripts that set
the PRINTERNAME environment variable and that
then call a common driver script that does
something like
cat | hpnpf -x ${PRINTERNAME} -w 2${PRINTERNAME}.logfile
(you'll probably want some other stuff - - see the scripts
that get installed on AIX when you install jetadmin.)
***
My advice is to avoid both of the above methods.
Don't connect your 600 printers
directly to the UniVerse spooler.
You'll save time and money if you get a dedicated
Novell Netware print server.
Netware 6 isn't as simple as good old Netware 3, but,
for 600 printers, it would be your least cumbersome solution.
The Netware server could handle all of your print jobs, not
just the ones from UniVerse, but also the ones from other unix
applications, and the ones from Windows workstations and
Windows servers.
If not Netware, then get a Windows 2003 server (or you might
need a Windows server cluster) as a dedicated print server
for all Windows and Unix applications, including UniVerse.
Either way, using a Netware server or a Windows server (or
Windows cluster), is going to make print job management
easier than using the UniVerse and/or AIX spoolers.

RE: [U2] Phone/TAPI Interface, D3/W2K
Telathena ( http://www.telathena.com ) has various ways of connecting u2 PHANTOM jobs to inbound and/or outbound call distribution systems. Some old versions of Telathena also ran on non-u2 Pick systems, but I think that the current versions of Telathena aren't compatible with Pick/d3. For instance, Telathena can drive a predictive dialer that dials out on many lines at once and only connects the few lines that are answered to the pool of operators, while the PHANTOM would automatically record the status of the other calls, and optionally queue those numbers for trying again later. Predictive dialers are designed to connect the human operator's headset in the middle of the o in Hello? if a another human answers the phone, and, simultaneously, the Telathena foreground client pops up the account info (from your u2 database) on the operator's PC. But it's not good to use a predictive dialer on multiple outbound lines with just a single dispatcher, because, too often, you'll get Hello? on 2 lines at once, and annoy one of your customers by just hanging up. Predictive dialers are for call centers with dozens of operators. Telathena can also drive simple local aux-port (or internal serial port) modems or dialers, but you may be able to do that yourself, by just using your terminal emulator's aux-port option. This can shave several seconds off of the time per call, which can be significant when there are lots of busies and no answers, or when the average call length is very short. For more options, see Call Center magazine. ( http://www.callcenter.com ) -Original Message- From: Mark Johnson Perhaps someone can lead me in the right direction.

The question is if there's a way to interface this system (home/cell/alt phones in database) to an external phone system that could place an automated call to that customer and return a status code (ok, busy signal, no answer, answering machine) to the dispatcher so she doesn't have to have a phone handset permanently welded to her ear.

RE: [U2] [OT] SAP
SAP was once an acronym for simple as possible but now signifies the opposite of that. It's a great product though, and has helped many consultants to buy nice boats. -Original Message- There are rumblings around our company about moving to an SAP package. What is SAP all about?

RE: [U2] UniVerse and 1GB Ethernet Cards...
If tcp/ip always ran smoothly in Windows, there wouldn't be so many products to tweak it. Lots of things can go wrong, such as expanding buffer sizes and thus triggering the Nagle effect. (isn't that what UDT.OPTIONS 109 fixes?) *** How would Universe support/not support a NIC? That's the OS's function, be it Unix or Windows. What's the OS's function? To provide an API to the application software, and an API to the NIC hardware driver, and to provide the tcp and ip layers, more or less, in the middle of the seven layer reference model. In *n*x, the API to a command shell vendor is simply stdin and stdout, with the O/S hiding the telnet (or telnet-like) services. Unlike *n*x, Windows doesn't provide telnet service to character-based (shell) applications, so the application vendors (e.g. the u2 folks in Denver) must supply and tweak their own telnet services, instead of simply reading from stdin and writing to stdout. Now add to that picture a NIC vendor who is, perhaps, tweaking their driver to get the edge in http benchmarks, at the expense of screwing up some non-http protocols. Still, things work pretty nicely nowadays, compared to the days of yon when computer networking in the USA meant trying to get IBM and ATT equipment to co-exist.

RE: [U2] Unidata 6 and Tru64
You mentioned convdata and convcode but not convidx. Did you run convidx? Then again, the problem could be in your software migration, not your data migration from AIX to Tru64. Unaligned access usually isn't fatal, by itself, but is sometimes caused by bugs that have other, and fatal, consequences. When unaligned access isn't fatal, you can speed up your system by just suppressing the unaligned messages via uac but that makes it hard to find and fix the associated bugs (sort of like the justly deprecated (S)uppress option in Pick). In the unaligned error messages, after the pid, what is (are) the name(s) of the program(s)? Is the program name always udt? If so, are you using makeudt and CALLC? -Original Message- From: Nick Southwell Anyone out there using Unidata with Tru64 on Alphas.

RE: [U2] building DICT items
Chuck wrote Specifically, I'm looking to pull a single Multi-Value ( like EXTRACT(@RECORD,5,5,0) ) using an A-type This is only for Universe, not for Unidata, because Unidata doesn't have the Pick-style A types. Using an A (or S) type of attribute definition in Universe, you can extract a single value by doing a translate back into the primary file. It's ugly but it works. Replace a and v with the real attribute number and value number. ED DICT filename FIELD-a.v New record. : I 0001= A 0002= 0 0003= 0004= 0005= 0006= 0007= 0008= Tfilename;X;;a,v 0009= L 0010= 20 0011= Bottom at line 10. : FI FIELD-a.v filed in file DICT filename. There is also an alternate syntax, with the value number appended to the translate opcode, in which case line 8 would look like 0008= Tfilename;Xv;;a For example, you could get value 9 of attr 35 of the INV file by doing either TINV;X;;35,9 or TINV;X9;;35 If possible, avoid this form and just use a simple I descriptor, or, if you're on SB+, just use /FD to define field number a.v (for example, field number 35.9).

RE: [U2] inserting European format dates using SQL
ICONV code DDMY (and variations such as DDMAY or DDMY2-) will always convert European-style dates correctly, no matter what your local settings are.
