RE: D3 - Universe
When you say 'access D3 files from UniVerse' it's not really clear what you mean (copy files? Real-time queries?) For simple copying from one MV system to another we've had good experience with AccuTerm (www.asent.com) which is our terminal emulator, copying tool and GUI enabler (with Nucleus from Binary Star). I think you can get a free trial copy of AccuTerm from their site.

RE: D3 - Universe
You MIGHT be able to use ODBC from UV, but ODBC with D3 has never been great - depending on volumes, there is always OSFI (on D3) being mapped to a UV type 19 file ?

RE: D3 - Universe
Barry Brooks asked: I have a client who is running D3 and Universe on seperate servers. They wish to be able to directly access D3 files from Universe. Does anyone know the best (or any) way to do this. D3 and Universe are running on Linux Redhat 9. Ross Suggested: You MIGHT be able to use ODBC from UV, but ODBC with D3 has never been great - depending on volumes, there is always OSFI (on D3) being mapped to a UV type 19 file ? Sorry Ross, that won't work because the D3 ODBC client driver is Win32 only. Barry said he's running on Linux. Although he CAN create some code in a Win32 middle-tier and use that as a hub between the Linux boxes. Chuck suggested: Set up the D3 files you need to access as FSI (external file format) and point to them from UniVerse (SAMBA, VisionFS, or file mapping) as Type 19. No... FSI doesn't work like that, FSI files are still mini blobs unto themselves. And here too, there is no FSI over Linux. Barry - there are a few ways to do this, one of which might be to use CallHTTP (or another HTTP call) from Universe and FlashCONNECT or a home-grown HTTP interface with D3. The solution will depend on how transparent or tightly integrated you want these environments to be. If you want a READ in UV to read a record in D3 then some creative coding is required, but it's possible. I'll be happy to discuss solutions with you for free but some coding/services will be required to make this happen. Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED] Former DBMS Product Manager, Raining Data, including D3.

RE: D3 - Universe
If all you want is to do is Access queries, then you can build the query, then pass it to D3 through a combination of rlogin and d3tcl. That's a little cludgy. Or, again, you can go through a Win32 middle-tier. The results can be returned to Universe through stdout or captured into a variable for processing. For large reports coming back, this will be an issue and some code will need to be built around the request to page the data back to Universe. If you want to do this sort of thing on your own, then AccuTerm scripting can be used to do the data exchanges. The AccuTerm session doesn't need to be on the same desktop as the user, and in fact you can have one system doing the connectivity for many users. This isn't elegant either, but a lot of people like using familiar tools. If you want a more elegant solution, then more coding is required. We're doing some development now which allows one MV platform to integrate very closely with other MV platforms, almost seamlessly, but it's not ready yet. If you're interested, please e-mail.

Re: D3 - Universe
Barry My suggestion is to set up a set a requester on the UV machine and a responder on the D3 machine. By this I mean you write the Basic routines that use say named pipes on one or other of the machines that allow for a request of one machine, a suitable background process could then respond to this request on the D3 machine etc. A little work but fun I dare say. Cheers Trevor Ockenden Open Systems Professionals PS This technique then allows for all sorts of requests that may go way beyond Retrieve type requests. - Original Message - From: Barry Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: U2 Users Discussion List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 8:58 AM Subject: RE: D3 - Universe Thanks Rick We are trying to achieve 'Real-Time, Online' enquiry to d3 files from Universe.
