RE: [U2] [UV/NT] T.LOAD from d3/T-DUMP pseudo floppy diskfile

2007-12-11 Thread Manu Fernandes
Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

When I want to transfer a full account, I perform a account-save to a pseudo
tape and then on universe I use D3RESTORE which work good.
In this case, I got a pseudo tape with a t-dump structure and for it there
is no tool into universe.

I can look into the code of D3RESTORE and transform it to a D3TLOAD but
before do it I search the community for any advice.

I'm surprised that nobody use diskfile as a pseudotape, when I read the uv's
doc I understand that must be possible but how to define it ?

Regards.
Manu

Right,
But which value to use on which field ?

Thanks
Manu




Manu,

I am not aware of any way to create a virtual floppy disk on UV/NT, either 
directly or using UniAdmin.


I've tried to do it with UniAdmin and failed because  UniAdmin expects an 
Operating System device, like a physical tape drive or floppy disk drive, 
and there is none in a virtual floppy disk.


Perhaps someone else on the list has the answer.

We use three tools for transferring software from generic Pick databases to 
Universe and Unidata:


1.the d3conv program pre-processes a virual d3 account save into a 
record that can be restored onto a Universe account using the Universe 
uvrestore program.


2. Our File Caddy programs, TAPE-DUMP and TAPE.LOAD, create multiple 
T-DUMPs (your choice of any one file to all the files on an account) and
then T-LOADs each file onto a Universe account, creating the file as it goes 
if it does not already exist on the account. 


Also, mvBase supports virtual files that can have a
BLOCK-SIZE of 500.  I haven't tried it, but you might be able to T-LOAD a 
virtual d3 floppy disk file onto an mvBase virtual tape file, but then you 
will still have to get it from mvBase to Universe.


3.  If  you are talking just about 1 file or a few files, and if you have 
access to the machine on which it resides today, I would use either Accuterm 
or Dynamic Connect/wIntegrate to move the data and/or dict sections of that 
one file to Universe.


If you don't have access to the machine on which this file exists, I would 
try restoring it onto mvBase and then using Accuterm or Dynamic 
Connect/wIntegrate to move it to Universe.


If you have more than one account, please feel free to contact me off-line 
if you would like to consider using either d3conv or TAPE.DUMP and 
TAPE.LOAD, with or without the intermediate transfer to mvBase.


 We also offer SpoolerPlus, our generic Pick print spooler for Universe 
and Unidata, to eliminate the need to rewrite all the print commands 
embedded in your D3 (or any generic Pick) software to Universe print 
commands and giving  up your generic Pick print spooler functionality. 


hth,

Dave
