Re: [U2] re directing a unidata directory to another server
From what I understand you have Unidata on one machine and you want to write to a directory on another machine within your network (node). I'm not sure what you mean by a folder on another server that is in the same virtual machine...a virtual machine spans two physical machines? Assuming I've misunderstood, if you're running Windows 2003 it's easy. If you're running Windows 2008 it's relatively easy but different. Which O/S are you running?

Re: [U2] re directing a unidata directory to another server
I don't think UD has the NFSALLOW flag. In UD, you can simply write to any directory that's available to the network where the user had write privileges. This raises a number of issues but, for instance, in Windows 2003 Server you can create a VOC entry to: OSFILE 001 DIR 002 \\SOMESERVER\D$\SOMEDIRECTORY 003 D_VOC This works but you may have to alter the permissions, if a UD user doesn't have the proper Windows permissions. In Windows 2008, however, you have to explicitly share the directory on the server. Then the VOC entry is like: OSFILE 001 DIR 002 \\SomeServer\ShareName 003 D_VOC At least this has been my experience so far.

Re: [U2] re ceiving error message XX record corrupt on logto
Hi Susan This is caused by either a missing or corrupt DMSECURITY item(s). We had a customer that couldn't add anything to their menus because when they did, upon saving half the menus would disappear completely. It was all due to the fact that they had removed an account at Unix but everything was still in the DMSECURITY file. When the menus were re-built the 'missing' account caused corruption. It could even be the fact that the Allow Disallow on accounts with restrictions has modules missing. Make sure the DMSECURITY is totally up to date and in line with the actual accounts.

RE: [U2] RE: Another probably simple SB+ issue.
David, Works in text mode and from word etc. Interestingly enough managed to duplicate the problem. Before clicking the connect in a SBClient session there's a File option at the top of the window. Selecting that then selecting Print Options gets a small window up with a tick box labeled Use Windows Print Drivers. If you click that then carry on into your session the same issue occurs.

RE: [U2] Re: [UV] Passing a string when a Matrix is expected
INMAT() looks like it may do the job for you. HTH. INMAT function _ SYNTAX INMAT ( [array] ) DESCRIPTION Use the INMAT function to return the number of array elements that have been loaded after the execution of a MATREAD, MATREADL, MATREADU, or MATPARSE statement, or to return the modulo of a file after the execution of an OPEN statement. You can also use the INMAT function after a DIM statement to determine whether the DIM statement failed due to lack of available memory. If a preceding DIM statement fails, INMAT returns a value of 1. If the matrix assignment exceeds the number of elements specified in its dimensioning statement, the zero element is loaded by the MATREAD, MATREADL, MATREADU, or MATPARSE statement. If the array dimensioning is too small and the zero element has been loaded, the INMAT function returns a value of 0. If array is specified, the INMAT function returns the current dimensions of the array. If array is the null value, the INMAT function fails and the program terminates with a run-time error message. EXAMPLE DIM X(6) D='123456' MATPARSE X FROM D,'' Y=INMAT() PRINT 'Y= ':Y * DIM X(5) A='CBDGFH' MATPARSE X FROM A,'' C=INMAT() PRINT 'C= ':C * OPEN '','VOC' TO FILE ELSE STOP T=INMAT() PRINT 'T= ':T This is the program output: Y= 6 C= 0 T= 23 -Original Message- From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Jacques G.

The result is that in FOOBAR, matrixes A, B, C and D are of size zero. In FOOBAR there is code that does: MATBUILD REC.A FROM A USING CHAR(1) Now the MATBUILD command on a matrix of size zero is giving me an undefined variable in a test program I wrote but in the program in production, it is giving me the content of a variable in the program.

Kevin, aren't you describing UDP communication, not TCP? Packets can be fragged and move through any number of different channels w/ UDP, but they're reassembled as a part of being received through TCP. If you sent a 1024 packet over UDP I would expect exactly what you've stated. Send a 1024 packet through TCP and I'd expect 1024 to arrive, and in order, as long as there's no failure. Of course, failures can occur with any protocol, even those that self-negotiate, so timeouts, dropouts, disconnects, and other failures have to be addressed in the implementation. -K --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] RE: U2 Users Digest V1 #2599
The issue is that if you send a 1024 byte message through a TCP socket, you may eventually get 1024 bytes out the other end, but you may not get them all at once. The message may be broken up into lots of pieces, i.e. if you do a read(), you may get 1024 bytes, or you may get a lot less, and have to read() again. Best regards, Henry Henry P.

George, I've run into that before - it's probably network latency. If there's nothing in your keyboard buffer, your routine will bail.

Re: [U2] RE: Triggers on a NFS file?
Hi Wol, But, rather more seriously, we have had UV file corruption which was laid pretty conclusively down to two systems accessing the same dynamic file - oh and one of them, allegedly, only had read access! This is an even worse case of what I brought out in my earlier reply. A dynamic file keeps information about its current modulus and load values (etc) in shared memory. Having this on two separate systems is a recipe for disaster. UV introduced the ALLOWNFS configuration option long ago with a default setting of 0 (no). When I deliver UV training, I take great care to emphasise that setting this to 1 (yes) also means it's all my fault if the file gets corrupted.

Support for long names and additional characters was added in Windows 95 as an abstraction (a view) over that for common usage where non-technical people want to use file names like: J. Jones Budget, 2007-2008 (revised).doc Chelsea smashed! at homecoming '07.jpg Windows was designed to be an operating system for home users and later became a server. (Most people forget that PC stands for Personal Computer.) Macintosh supported long, friendly filenames back in 1984 for the same reasons. Unix is a system for engineers, not intended to be used by people creating OS-level filenames for their docs or pictures. Now, just to be clear, I didn't suggest that DBMS files should be allowed to have spaces in them, like CUSTOMER MASTER. I was giving IBM a little grief for not making use of a file system enhancement which was added to Windows 13 years ago so that we can put IBM programs under Program Files. There's no need for *nix compatibility at this level, commands like uv, udt, UniAdmin, and the UniSDK tools are all platform-specific, OS-level programs, and have nothing to do with the data in the DBMS. It's almost understandable that paths to data may give the DBMS grief if they contain spaces, like: D:\Data Sources\ABC Company\UV\Accounts\WAREHOUSE But even in this case, if ported to *nix anyone would know to move that to something more appropriate like: /home/data/abc_company/uv/acccounts/WAREHOUSE In either case, the DBMS-level file system should abstract the MV DBA from OS-level issues. For example, we should be allowed to create files like the following without OS-related issues: .TEMP OPEN-A/R CUSTMAST*DEPT That said, the CREATE.FILE verb should also prevent the creation of filenames that are commonly agreed as being a bad idea, like CUSTOMER MASTER. As always (like case sensitivity) this whole situation is just another case of engineers who decide not to make changes because they speak Unix and they expect the rest of the world to do so as well. The burden is not on them to make software work for the target OS but on developers to have to know how another OS works so that they understand why their own platform isn't working. That's just lazy and backwards thinking.

Re: [U2] RE: Ssh connections to Universe DB?
I'm exploring a possibility, and would like feedback. The problem: administrators want the security that SSH offers, but Universe (and some others) running on Windows offers only telnet access. Possible solution: 1) Obtain and run an SSH daemon on the Windows server, such as WinSSHd. 2) Run an SSH client with tunneling capabilities, to connect from a Windows desktop, via SSH, to the WinSSHd on the server. 3) Configure that SSH client to do local port forwarding (tunneling) of some arbitrary port (say, 1234) on the client PC to port 23 (the telnet port) on the server's localhost (that is, the server). 4) Run a (2nd) terminal emulator on the client, connected to the client's localhost, port 1234. The client's SSH receives a connection on its port 1234, and forwards it to the server, causing a connection to the server's port 23, where Universe's telnetd receives it. Connection is made. Because the tunneled connection is within the SSH session, it is authenticated and encrypted. I just tested this scenario using AnzioWin (our terminal emulator/SSH client) and it all appears to work. Is anyone doing this? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It occurs to me that we could add functionality to AnzioWin to allow telnet over SSH all in one running program.

A couple more questions: 1.what kind of systems are you running red hat/universe on (model, specs, etc ) 2.what are you doing for high availability? 3.what are you using for backups (software/type of tape drives)? We're running UV 10.2.7 on RH ES 5.1. The hardware is a pair of IBM xSeries 3650s with 2GHz CPUs and 15K rpm hard drives configured in a 2-node HA cluster. The HA management software is LifeKeeper from Steeleye. We've been running on this hardware since sometime in April, and prior to that we ran UV 10.1.4 with RH AS 3.0 on a pair of IBM xSeries 345s in the same 2-node HA setup for a little over 3 years. The servers have been running contiuously since the upgrade: 14:58:19 up 139 days, 5:12, 52 users, load average: 0.05, 0.18, 0.17 There is one gotcha with terminal setup if you use ADDS Viewpoint emulation. You'll want to make sure any Viewpoint users have the following entry in their .bash_profile: if tty --quiet; then stty erase '^H' stty susp undef fi Actually, the '^H' backspace fix is needed for any emulation, but without the susp undef setting, Viewpoint terminal sessions with hang if the up-arrow key is pressed. We usually have around 100 terminal users at peak times, and probably average around 30K UniObjects for Java connections per day from our web site. For backups we're currently using a disk-to-disk-to-tape appliance solution from UniTrends. The UniTrends appliance dumps 200GB of UV on-disk backups to a Certance (now Quantum) 8-slot LTO-2 autoloader at the beginning of each month. We also do additional redundant backups before and after our end-of-month batch processing to a 2TB NAS appliance from Aberdeen.

Re: [U2] Re: U2 Users Digest V1 #2326
That makes perfect sense. I am only handling UniSessionException and
UniSubroutineException in the routine. If I am understanding correctly, I
should add a catchall exception. Sort of a KitchenSinkException to
account for other exceptions.
Thanks a lot.

Charles-
As I read it, the unhandled exception is happening within the U2 object
when you are trying to execute the Java method PbrGetMgrList.
I never heard of JavaBridge before, but after reading the requirements
at http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/doc/overview.php, I don't
think that is the source of the problem (java.inc is a PHP include file,
and might be referenced through a URL such as
|once(http://localhost:9090/JavaBridge/java/Java.inc;);|). You can
verify that the JavaBridge is working by calling a Java method outside
of the U2 object prior to calling the PbrGetMgrList method; if it works,
then something is happening to your U2 object. I don't have enough to
troubleshoot any further at this point.
HTH,

Subject: [U2] Uniobjects for Java
Hello,
I am accessing our Unidata server from PHP using the java bridge for a
few
months It has been working pretty well up until the current project I
am
working on.
PHP calls a method in a U2 object, which uses Uniobjects for Java to
invoke a UniBasic Subroutine on our Unidata 7.1 redhat based server.
Recently I have intermittently received the following error message.
**
Fatal error: Uncaught [[o:Exception]:java.lang.Exception: Invoke

[[o:U2]]-PbrGetMgrList.
Cause: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: PbrGetMgrList().

I am not sure what this is referring to. I don't find a java.inc
anywhere
on the web server host.
This works most of the time, but sometimes not. and I don't see a
pattern. Most of the time it can be fixed by recompiling and
rejarring
the Java object, but that doesn't always fix it. One thing I wondered
about is that this is the first time that I have called a program with
no
input parameters.
Here is the java code.
/**
* @param none
* @return Tab delimited list of MGR_NAMES
*/
public String PbrGetMgrList() {
String result = ;
try {
OpenU2Session();
UniSubroutine uSub =
uSession.subroutine(PbrGetMgrList,
1);
uSub.call();
result = uSub.getArg(0);
CloseU2Session();
} catch (UniSessionException e) {
result = N;
} catch (UniSubroutineException e) {
result = N;
} finally {
return result;
}
}
Here is the UniBassic Subroutine code
$BASICTYPE 'U'
SUBROUTINE PbrGetMgrList(RESULT)
* Tab delimits data items

RE: [U2] RE: SELECT problem with quote characters
OK - I see the problem.
True, it will not work the way it is, but there might be a work around. If the
string we are looking for could contain both single and double quotes, we are
out of luck with the standard way of searching.
However, we could write a simple I-desc that calls a program which would return
a value where the quotes are replaces with some odd character (like a tilda
or some non-printing character). Then have the program tweaked to select on
the I-desc looking for these odd characters.
For example:
Raw data = LLOYD'S
I-desc = LLOYD~S
Now, instead of:
SELECT FILE WITH FIELD LIKE ...LLOYD'S...
We would do:
SELECT FILE WITH I-desc LIKE ...LLOYD~S...
This is not as fancy as you would likely need, but it shows the concept of
something that should work.
I have also had situations where I needed to determine a non-standard
delimiter. To do this, I would build a string of potential characters like:
DELIMITERS = [EMAIL PROTECTED]*()_+{}[]\|:;?
I would then loop through each of the characters in DELIMITER attempting to
find a character that was NOT found in the target string. Once I find one,
that character is stored in some fashion and used to encrypt/decrypt as needed.
Hopefully, between these two ideas you can get pointed in a useful direction.

RE: [U2] Re: Going to U2 University 2008?
One of Janet Oswald's email ad broadcasts for U2U indicated that there would be pre-conference chargeable tutorials the day before each of the 4 editions of the conference. The list of tutorials and their charges are not yet on the web-site, but she tells me they should be there tomorrow. These tutorials have been worthwhile in years past. I'm holding off on registering for San Diego until I can see those. I think the regional conference idea is a good one. I attended the San Francisco one 2 prior pan-IBM ones, as well as others off and on dating back to Infocus/VMark days. Pluses: + Cheaper. + Shorter. 2 nights lodging only. + More targeted. (That 2006 Anaheim Information on Demand event for all IBM software users was ghastly. Sure, we got to see Gladys Knight and the Pips and got in free one night to part of Disneyland where the music blared that you couldn't network (the primary purpose for the social events), provided you could even find any fellow U2 users amid the AIX, Tivoli, DB2, etc. users, almost half of whom seemed to be IBM employees.) + If you attend the later venues, the presenters have honed their show a bit. + The audience seemed a bit more technical last year. I'm guessing the lower price shorter time span allowed companies to send technical people other than the mucky-mucks who see these conferences like junkets. + More content, less junket. Minuses: - You don't see some users from other parts of the world. I miss that. - Almost all sessions are presented by IBM staff, since not many independent presenters want to commit to 4 such events. I have always appreciated the presentations by users independent consultant groups, myself, so I miss that. - More content, less junket. (Some people will see that as a minus, anyway.) cds P.S.

Re: [U2] Re: ODBC Connection Hanging Around
Kevin, It sounds as though the server is seeing the disconnects, but the client is not getting the response back to recognize that it is truly disconnected. Therefore the object is waiting on a response. I am not sure if the driver is thread safe, but I would not count on it. I might suggest putting all your communications code in a separate module and subroutine. Also don't wait on the response since it seems like the closing is actually happening. Make all the object variables local to that module/subroutine so that when that routine exits they will fall out of scope and should get cleaned up.

Re: [U2] Re: ODBC Connection Hanging Around
The client terminates fine. It's the server session that doesn't disconnect. And in a weird twist that I'm still watching, I added a generic CLOSE statement to close all the files being used by the subroutine before it returns to the caller and since making that change the server has not left any connections open.

Well, the CLOSE appears to have been a red herring. Everything ran fine for several hours, then all at once a half dozen sessions didn't get disconnected.

Re: [U2] Re: ODBC Connection Hanging Around
Idea/Suggestion: Take a look at DOS CMD / Unix CMD netstat -an output on the Server. If you see a significant amount of sockets in TIME_WAIT state, you may need to add the TcpTimedWaitDelay parameter to the Registry, (for Windows). There are ways to modify this in various Unix platforms - you'll need to dig out the particulars for your 'nix variant. A lot of applications will call/open a socket, send data, then close the socket, rather than re-use, and then call a new socket next time. When next connection is opened, or a lot of connections are opened, perhaps the Server does not have the free resources to clean up these connection/sockets that are lingering around, as the OS is designed to perform such clean up in the background when it has the capacity to do so. Busy Servers may not be able to free up these resources as fast as they're being called/used. (This behavior exists across all Windows and Unix platforms). For Windows, you can add a Registry setting called TcpTimedWaitDelay which does not exist by default, but it does use a default parameter, (240 I believe). which may be way too long for many/most applications, especially if applications do not re-use alread opened socket/ports. By adding this parameter as specificed in the MS TechNote, and setting its value to 30 decimal (i.e. 30 seconds), this will help free up significant amounts of ports stuck in TIME_WAIT state in a significantly faster manner, proving in more smooth server network operations and sockets availabilty. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/38b8bf76-b7d3-473c-84e 8-e657c0c619d11033.mspx?mfr=true I have seen this behavior numerous times, across numerous applications and across numerous platforms, verticals, etc...

RE: [U2] Re: Damaged files
What's the error message? What commands get you the error (analyze.file doesn't, so it's not completely hosed). Generally, a broken file occurs when one of two things occur (these are just the most frequent; there are other ways): a write to overflow (and you got overflow!) begins, writes the forward link, then doesn't complete in writing the backward link (blink error). Perhaps it got distracted by a particularly fetching barista g. Looking at errpt is a good idea for you; if there's a hardware problem causing it, you wanna catch it asap. This is one reason we like to avoid overflow: your risk of breaking a file increases with each link to overflow created. The second most likely cause is when something else is writing to your file; maybe there are uv jobs running out of cron that update something, but aren't in phantom you use commons to open files. Perhaps there is some sequential write occurring to the file. Anyway, start by resizing that to reduce the overflow therefore your risk. I'd at least double the mod, and at a rough pass, I'd say 2.5 times that mod would be a good guess - I often find that a well-sized file will have physical bytes to data bytes in a 2:1 ratio. The mod*sep*512 on this file is about 6g.

Re: [U2] RE: UNIDATA 7.1 performance measures
As far as removing the AV altogether? One reason (in Microsoft at least), is file system filter drivers. AV applications, and many other applications, are adding these fsfd's into their products. Another reason, on any platform, is the intense and constant struggle constraint for server platform resources between the number of applications Server paltofrms are running these days: - File system fragmentation. - Un-Delete applications. - Anti-Virus Applications. - Security applications. - Various snap shot technologies. - Backup products. - Replication products. Low overhead, detailed performance monitoring, 24x7x365, tells you all these things and more, not only in U2 but across the entire application server technology spectrum. Remember when application servers had scheduled downtime, for periodic platform maintenance? Disk integrity checks, defragmentation, etc? Patches and updates applied? These days, it can almost take an act of congress at some places to get a server reboot accomplished. Remember when hardware vendors ran industry standard benchmarks and characterization - simulation testing, to push Systems / Servers under real life application load to see how to best, code, configure tune them? Seems like these functions have fairly much fallen by the wayside, left to the individual company/organization, due to the uniqueness peculiaralities of your actual mileage may vary, and explosion of technology that has occurred over the years. This is not a bad thing, necessarily, but how does a company / organization or indivdual go about such montioring, in any given environment, be it production or pre-production, without the overhead of such montioring interfereing in the performance of the platform? How does one know, in their specific environment, with their given hardware platforms, network configurations, user loads, and data set sizes, and operational business dynamics, what is normal performance, what is bottle-necked or throttling server platform performance, and why? It is predictable? Is it a problem that can be fixed, re-coded, adjusted, tuned, or configured better? More hardware required? What is the cost of running multple applications at once and where/when do they conflict for resources? What resources? Why? How does my Windows application server platform performance compare with a similar Linux or other Unix platform performance, apples to apples?? Can my current application server platform support our anticipated growth ? How much will running month-end impact our normal business processing cycles? It's always a lot easier when debugging any problem, tuning any application or server platform, or explaining / justifying capital expenses, (or even justifying a reboot!), to have easy to see/understand detailed graphical, factual and specific current real-time data to help point out the operational dynamics of any problem in terms everyone can see/understand, and then pro-actively monitor and verify as time moves forward, in real time, and changes are made in hopes of alleviating or resovling the problem. Have proof positive that your suggestion or changes did indeed identify and/or resolve a problem. Coming from an operational, uptime, and perfomance minded server platforms used in business background, I can not understand why companies/organizations/individuals would not want/need/require such data pro-actively, to continually improve, justify, and ensure that your technology infastructure is delivering all it can, 24x7x365. /ad on Performance Montoring technology exisits to allow very similar, very detailed server wide and process level montioring of numerous diverse Server application platforms; hardware, operating systems and databases/applications - in one common interface, with extremely low overhead foot print. - multiple processors / cores - distributed applications - network configuration and throughput - storage sub-systems - Windows - Linux - AIX - Solaris One such performance monitoing application can be found at deltek.us /ad off (PS: I tried real hard to not jump into this one, but in the end, I could not help myself - as I deal with this stuff all the time, successfully ;^).

For what it's worth, that's why when we recently upgraded out UniVerse / Windows2003 Production server, I specifically said don't get more than 4GB. To use more than that, with a 32-bit Windows platform, you need to use the /PAE and /3GB switches. I think you may also need to use Win2K3 Enterprise or DataCenter versions. I didn't want to make our UV server the first one in our network to be configured that way, so we 'stayed small' If you want to use more than 4GB RAM with Windows, you really need to go to the Windows Server 64-bit editions, and you'd want to check the Availability Matrix to see which releases of UD are qualified.

RE: [U2] RE: Switching from D3 to U2
I can't speak authoritatively for Prelude (Activant), but I suspect they more or less followed where SB+ went. They made a tremendous effort to convert their whole application from all legacy code to SB+ about 13 years ago. Perhaps it was general fear for the future of D3, perhaps it was fear that SB+ would cease to be supported on D3, or perhaps since IBM owned the whole mess and they were IBM business partners, they thought it was the prudent thing to do. From our standpoint, we were happy with D3. It did everything we needed and I really liked FlashConnect for web connectivity. But we were about 3 major versions behind on the Prelude application code and wanted some of the newer features. When Prelude said they would not support the newer versions on D3, we were forced to switch.

RE: [U2] RE: Universe Replication [ad]
[ad] Interesting. We have been toying with the idea of migrating our Visage.DRS product across to UV from D3, but have been unsure of the demand level, especially as IBM have a product (then again, so to RD, but possibly with similar limitations?). DRS gracefully recovers from network interruptions, and you can also suspend updates on mirrored systems, allowing clean backups to be produced. We can also produce a clean replicated system from a dirty backup (ie: backup produced while system is active), support replication to multiple replication servers (subscribers), and keep logs in 4 places to ensure a high level of redundancy. That said, we would have the same limitation on type 1/19 files on *NIX platforms, though I can see a fairly straight forward solution on windows that would work with updates from anywhere.

Since our goal was to the use subscriber system for reporting as well as testing, this caused a problem whenever the back-up system need to be rebooted or taken off-line. We concluded that we needed something more asynchronous that would allow buffered updates to the back-up system. Other problems, such as managing many published files spread over many accounts, and the fact that type 1/19 files are not replicated, caused us to abandon replication. However, it is likely that IBM has continued to improve replication and my problems may not have been typical. But I am curious if a work-around to allow buffering of updates to the subscriber system was ever developed, because for us that was a stopper. /Scott Ballinger Pareto Corporation Edmonds WA USA 206 713 6006 On Dec 10, 2007 4:06 AM, Barry Rogen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Robin, We attempted (operative word) to embrace Replication for a solution to our needs.

Re: [U2] RE: Universe Replication
The problem I ran into with replication (UV on Linux), is that if the subscriber system was off-line or the subscriber process not running, writes on the publisher would cause the writing application to hang and eventually error. Since our goal was to the use subscriber system for reporting as well as testing, this caused a problem whenever the back-up system need to be rebooted or taken off-line. We concluded that we needed something more asynchronous that would allow buffered updates to the back-up system. Other problems, such as managing many published files spread over many accounts, and the fact that type 1/19 files are not replicated, caused us to abandon replication. However, it is likely that IBM has continued to improve replication and my problems may not have been typical. But I am curious if a work-around to allow buffering of updates to the subscriber system was ever developed, because for us that was a stopper. /Scott Ballinger Pareto Corporation Edmonds WA USA 206 713 6006 On Dec 10, 2007 4:06 AM, Barry Rogen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Robin, We attempted (operative word) to embrace Replication for a solution to our needs.

Data Replication was touted as the solution. A solution that would update our D/R system real time from our production system.

With most busy organizations, uptake on a new release can be pretty slow, so I doubt many folks have it going in a production environment. When I worked for the U2 group, I did quite a bit of testing with replication. It is ideal for what you propose to use it for. In 10.2, the services changed to improve overall replication performance and recoverability after a network outage. If you've never set it up before, there are some things to consider first. For example, how reliable are the file pointers? Can everyone of the file pointers be opened? Are they referencing files that live in other file systems and not where the account itself exists? Replication expects that the files not be UV/NET files and will skip them when you start looking for files within accounts to publish. Like transaction logging, replication ships with TCL verbs to greatly speed up the selection, publish, and subscribe process when there are many files per account to be replicated. They are documented in the UV 10.2 documentation set. I made improvements to two of those programs-- just ping me off-line if you'd like the updated programs. I intend to deploy replication across my Linux servers, with transaction logging running on each server as well. I am confident with 10.2's ability to handle them both quite well in the scenario I chose to deploy them. I believe I can tell you quite a bit more about the process if you want to write me off-line.

RE: [U2] RE: U2 SOAP Server
You get such great information on this list. Based on the comments since I posted last Friday we have been doing some experiments. I believe it would be best for us to develop Web Services in a Windows environment then deploy to a Linux SOAP Server. We have managed to transfer the files for a Web Service (test.xml and test.wsdl) from one Windows PC running the Development tools to a second Windows PC also running the Development tools. Each had a SOAP Server pointing to the same Linux based Universe 10.2 database. This was successful. Next we tried to incorporate this into a Service on an Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) on my PC. This almost worked but not quite. Unfortunately I appear to have broken the ESB rather badly so progress has stopped until I can work out how to fix it. Lots of nasty java error messages. Our aim is to have our 4 environments - Development, Test, Pre-Prod and Production each able to have a version of the Oracle ESB running with the appropriate U2 SOAP Server connecting to the applicable UV account. Ideally we would not want to have to change the internals of the WSDL or other code. Server names and ports are listed multiple times within the XML code. Our thought was to place the ESB and the U2 SOAP Server on the same hardware and use localhost and the same port. We hoped that config files would enable this. We still have more experimentation to do in this area. Moving to this industry standards methodology is a very steep learning curve. The creation of the U2 WSDL from an existing subroutine was a breeze. I wish the rest was as simple. Back to the manuals.

The SOAP Server included with U2WSD gets installed when you install the tool. There isn't an option (during install) to install the SOAP Server by itself or elsewhere. That doesn't mean you can't relocate the SOAP Server somewhere else when you are ready to deploy. If you have no GUI desktop (Gnome/KDE/etc.) on your Linux server, then it will be hard to install U2WSD on that platform (and as such, gain access to the SOAP Server). That wouldn't be an issue for Windows server users since Windows has a GUI desktop. At the end of the day, the SOAP Server is just a simple Jetty server enhanced to communicated only with U2 servers enabled for it. It is really light-weight. You don't have to fire up U2WSD to start/stop it, but I don't believe IBM includes that tidbit of info in there documentation.
