RE: Wintegrate Phantom
Not as described. The phantom does not have a client, therefore the win.import has nothing to talk to. However, a few days ago, someone posted some source code for reading DBF files within a basic program directly. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 11:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Wintegrate Phantom I need to run the WIN.IMPORT routine from a phantom and I can't seem to be able to do this. Is there any way run file transfers that convert a file to dbf format from within UV via a phantom process.

RE: Re Text File to PDF
Tony, Thanks for the idea. In my project, I already have the PCL'ized reports done. I've used pcl2pdf before and it creates a nice (small) PDF file ready for viewing or emailing. regarding my earlier comments re active fax ... I checked with the www.actfax.com folks last night and they said they would have a leaner pcl to pdf 'text' version later this year. -Original Message- From: Tony Gravagno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 11:53 PM To: 'U2 Users Discussion List' Subject: RE: Re Text File to PDF Troy Buss wrote Otherwise its back to pcl2pdf ( www.visual.co.uk/pcl2pdf.html ) and blat for this other project I'm working on.

RE: Re Text File to PDF
I've used active fax from www.actfax.com with good results for faxing. However, while investigating usage as a large report PDF emailer, it generates huge PDF files since the content is converted to a graphic. 7 pages is 714kb. Whereas using PCL2PDF the file is 14KB. Does VSI-FAX or other pdf-enabled email/fax solutions handle the PDF conversion as text instead? Otherwise its back to pcl2pdf ( www.visual.co.uk/pcl2pdf.html ) and blat for this other project I'm working on.

UV - is there a coldstart equivalent
In D3 there is a coldstart process that runs when the database is started which is useful from an applications stand point by clearing status files, starting application phantoms and general cleanup. There does not seem to be an equivalent mechanism in Universe. What have people done to provide similar and reliable functionality? -Troy -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: UV - is there a coldstart equivalent
Interesting observation... I stopped and restarted universe and the value remained unchanged in the performance monitor. So this system(3001) counter theory is not going to work anyway. I've gone down the path of using a basic lock test (one of the 64 BASIC locks) instead. This method also requires that the phantom not ever log off or the lock is cleared and another is started. In my application, I actually want to clean up some config/status files and remain running so this is not an issue. So, using something like lock number 60 to indicate the phantom process is running. all logons execute this little test and launch snippet:: LOCK 60 THEN * * if I can lock, phantom not running, unlock the lock and dispatch phantom * UNLOCK 60 EXECUTE PHANTOM background.program ... END ELSE * PHANTOM ALREADY RUNNING END this is the PHANTOM background.program: LOCK 60 ELSE * another phantom is already running this program, so log off CHAIN OFF END * * do phantom processing code - * PHANTOM PROCESSING CODE IS HERE fyi.. I don't want to test a value in a file since I need something that is inherently 'reset' when the universe database is started. ie, the lock table is clear. A value in a file would remain through a restart and would not work. If there is a more elegant solution, please chime in.
