Re: [DUG]: Retrieving data from XML streams
Get an XML Parser. There is the microsoft one, an IBM one, I think there are a few free ones, www.nothingbutnet.co.nz rings bells (PETER!!!), the Delphi-Jedi site - etc etc etc. Basically, if you have D6 enterprise, you can load it in from a string or file, and it puts it all nicely into a tree structure for you (you need a sample or XSD/DTD first tho). I dont know how the other ones work, but I'd guess its similar.

We had a system that was in Delphi 4 (Midas 2) App1 App2 - Socket Server (D4) - Appserver1 App3 We have now upgraded to Delphi 6 (Midas 3) so any new software we write is inDelphi 6, but untilthe next version of our main piece of software isfinishedwe are still running some Delphi 4 Apps. So what we now have is App1 App2 - - Appserver1 (D4) Socket Server (D6) App3 - - AppServer2 (D6) Current if only App1 and App2 (Midas 2) are used everything runs smoothly. If App3 (Midas 3) is used then it worke well most of the time, but sometimes AppServer2 hangs so that new connections just sit there waiting. No timeout. Also, but less often AppServer1 hangs as well. In this case once we fix up AppServer2 (kill all App3's and then Kill AppServer2) AppServer1 works again. AppServer1 and Appserver2 have different GUID's but that names of the RDM's, Methods and Providers are the same. AppServer2 is essentially AppServer1 ported to Midas 3. AppServer1 and 2 both use a TDatabase to connect to an informix database. They don't use an existing BDE alias but they do have the same DatabaseName. Is it OK to have Midas 2 and Midas 3 App servers on the same machine? Do I need to change more than the GUID's between versions of an AppServer? Anything else I should know?

Re: [DUG]: Borland RAD Seminars - Ak, Wgtn, ChCh
People, I'll try and fill you in tommorow - doing training today, so I'm rather flatout. Bottom line is, its Richard and my show, so its mostly going to be more technical and less marketing driven, BUT: we are a commercial entity with budgets to meet, so the end purpose is to sell more Delphi 6 enterprise. The plan - subject to change, natch - is to take an existing (UGLY as hell) paradox app, port it to IB, port that (well, some of it) to DataSNAP, add a web layer (for entry of data), and add a SOAP interface (WebServices) for rich gui data entry over the net.

Re: [DUG]: String Encryption routine
Um, unless I'm mistaken, this is a pretty basic cypher - are you after
encrypting something that NEEDS to stay crypted, or just scrambling
something so a luser can't get at it? if its the latter, this should be
fine, but a cryptographer work his salt should be able to go thru this in
about 2 seconds flat. Something like MD5 or RC4 are _proven_ secure by
years of testing etc.
Another thing to look at could be Bill Raike's library - not sure of the
URL, but's he's over here in NZ somewhere :)

Re: [DUG]: Midas performance and maybe BDE Threading
Incase Chris is busy, I'll jump in, as I think I know the project he's talking about 1stly. Did the system originally use a file based DB like Paradox. If the answer is yes, is the new app using TTables or TQueries. This is the first bottleneck and relates to C/S developement in general. Yes, it was originally Paradox via tables and a few queries. Its now IB via BDE and 99.9% of them are TQueries with associated TUpdateSQL's. Some work has been done on getting it to send just the minumal amount of data back. There are several other things that can cause this, and they are not necessarily related to MIDAS. (all off the top of my head) The developer has, AFAIK, been testing the performance of the layers, and the MIDAS bit is not the problem. AFAIK. I may be wrong here, as I've not talked to him for a while. Are they retrieving some records and then doing lookups for other information on the records retrieved, ie have a db grid of all the records in one table with a lookup field (excellent on file based DB's but on C/S not good) There are a few grids involved (didn't change the UI and rewrite it when the oppertunity was there :( ) - they have some lookups (ALL this is from memory - which is about a year old, too!), but IIRC, there is caching of the lookup tables in CDS's. Have they only got one BDE connection that all the RDM's share. Each RDM should have it's own TDatabase and TSession (unless the programmer has implemented some sort of connection pool). each RDM has a connection / session etc. Which MIDAS connection method are they using Sockets, DCOM, WebConnection? Sockets is the fastest. If sockets then check that the SCKTSVR has the resolve host names set off. Sockets. - I dont think it has resolve hostname turned off tho. Are the Remote Data Modules (RDM) in the server all opened at the start or opened as required. If opened as required are the RDM's broken into logical smaller groups ie Order RDM containing the Order header and order details etc. RDM's are opened as required. There are 2 RDM's per client - one for the app, and one for the reports. the app one is _HUGE_. That might be the problem possibly. The BDE will suffer under MIDAS if there is a TDatabase and TSession per RDM if there are likely to be more than 60 open at a time (we actually found that this was lower like around 25) and will lock clients. I would strongly recommend It appears to lock at about 5 clients, I think. Basically, not even close to 25, let alone 60. that IBX or IBO is used to avoid the BDE for MIDAS, unless they want to use the SharedConnection methods in the RDMs. Hmmm, didn't look at shared connection - I'll have a look There is currently only 2 conections from each client back to the server (ie, one for the main one, and one for the reports when its loaded) I would suggest that you look at http://www.distribucon.com for other tips relating to MIDAS. The Shared Connection information can be found there. Cheers. IBX updates are available from http://codecentral.borland.com/codecentral/ccweb.exe/author?authorid=102 IBO is at http://www.ibobjects.com/ IBX and IBO were not options at the time, as it may be need to be ported to Oracle at a later date :( Hence why the BDE (not my first choice, either - I was gunning for IBX at the time) Thanks for the info.

Re: [DUG]: Kylix problems
kylixpath is a script - if you use the dot infront, it runs it under the context of the current shell - basically, the same as typing in the commands that are in the file onto the command line, unlike if you execute a shell script, then it gets its own copy of the shell, and most path etc changes are not held by the parent shell - unless you use the likes of export or something like that :) comeone Mark, you of all people should know that :) N - Original Message - From: Mark Derricutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list delphi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [DUG]: Kylix problems Why the dot?

yes, you get bugged about it around 1x per week, I think. JBuilder bugs you every time you load it. AFAIK, it doesn't grab your credit card, molest your cat, or any of the other things that the MS one is supposed to do - it just takes the key, and some form of finger print of your machine (maybe, I'm not sure about that even) and says add one to the install count for this key - if it hits 3, we get notified, I _think_ (not a lot of info has come out on it yet). then I guess we call you and ask you why you've installed 1 copy of d6 enterprise on 42 machines :) I would imagine that, to get update s(eg, delphi 6.01 :) ) you need to be registered. ;-) Big enough carrot for you? If anyone _is_ paranoid enough about it, I'll see what I can extract from the people in the US, but seriously, I dont think its an invasion of your privacy at all - just a way for us to monitor installs of the product (kinda) so piracy can be kept to a minimum, without using something like Macrovision SoftDisc (which was going to be used, until it was found to fail on around 50-60% of beta testers machines!).

Maybe they didn't promise anything, but there was certainly a proposal to upgrade the software, and I remember it being discussed. yup, it was discussed, but as there are around 150 domains on the mail server (last time I looked, which was about a year ago), moving it over to a new server is NOT a trivial operation. I'm a user of Yahoo Groups and it offers heaps more options. yes it does. And it also appends an _advert_ to each and every email that goes out, last time I used it. OK, so Mark wrote a filter for that, but still, someone pays for every email that goes out. Plus, I get more spam to the accounts I used to have sub'ed to egroups accounts (now yahoo groups) than any other account I have. Noone pays for the Delphi lists. Its done off the backs of Gary and Steve. We could move it to yahoo or similar, but aside from the _odd_ email attachment getting thru, noone's had a problem with it for ages.

Re: [DUG]: The Long and Winding Road
1) If I was to program in CONSOLE mode, would I have access to graphics commands like LINE or RECTANGLE (or the Delphi equivalents) ? No, but you can manually open a window and draw on it. 2) In Standard mode, do you need to keep strictly to an OBJECT style ? It would make it easier if I could just convert all my spaghetti junction like code straight over and only have the screen graphics and data structures to worry about. No, you dont _have_ to, but I'd recommend it. OO is nice once you get the hang of it, which is, IMO, not that hard. Might be a better idea to look at your app as a reference document and rewrite it all in Delphi from scratch. Sounds like the nasty way, but you end up spending a lot of time trying to make things that worked under the old system (in my case. Paradox) work the same under the new system (in my case, Interbase and MIDAS). In the long run, I dont think its worth it. Also : Does anyone have a Beta copy of Windows XP ? Let me know. yup, but unless you are an official beta tester (and hence, have it), I can't give it to you.

Re: [DUG]: TCP/IP
I found the TCP components that ship with Delphi to be a real pain to use. If you're comfortable installing components, have a look around the net for either ICS by Francois Piette or WinShoes. There are a bunch of different opinions out there about which is best, but those two are the most often named. Either one will be better than the standard components, and they both come with plenty of examples for common tasks. WinShoes is now called Indy and ships with Delphi 6 and Kylix. Its native VCL, and is rather good, IMO :) Its still opensource tho. www.nervrona.com/indy I think Google.com has it tho :) Nic. --- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of unsubscribe delphi

Re: Re: [DUG]: Tuning SQL
The Interbase site makes scary statements about the Open version being a work in progress which will not be supported by them. Not sure whether one should be concerned with this or not. How stable is the current Open source version? Very :) It would not be a good look to have commercial clients relying on an unsupported databes which ends up being used only by hobbyists and learning institutions. Are people using the Open version commercially? yeah, there are quite a few using the Borland released 6.0.1.

Re: Re: Re: [DUG]: Tuning SQL
Nope, the code has been bought back inhouse for IB6.x and beyond. What was released as free and opensource is still that way - future stuff may not be. So they made IB6 free, got a bunch of people using it, then decided that it could turn a profit again? That's almost funny : Well, yes and no. They made it free, thinking it wasn't making any money. Then, _after the fact_, they asked around, and found it was a substantial product for some countries. That didn't go down well :) I dont think there are lots of people using it that didn't before - they are just not having to pay for it (assuming they moved from 5.6 in the first place, and AFAIK, not a hell of a lot did). Firebird might be worth looking into if you don't want to shell out bucks on licensing, but I guess if you want to maintain future compatibility you'll have to pay for IB6. Exactly. And I _know_ there are new features planed for IB6.5/7/etc*, but I'm not sure what the FB lot are doing. Hell, I even walked past the IB team when I was in Scotts Valley (the training room was almost next door to them :) ) *obviously, I can neither confirm, nor deny, their existance, or if it will happen etc etc etc. Firebird IB - it might have at v6.0, but not beyond that - the code forked almost immediatly. Which was expected by a lot of people. Firebird is based on the opensource IB6, but divergent from it. Wonder if the various IB6 ODBC drivers and component sets out there will support it? Firebird? well, IBO will, as Jason Warton seams to not like Borland now, after the IB6 OS row, so there's one. And IBX is pretty much OpenSource, so unless it diverges a LOT, I'd guess that both will support both versions. Lots of bad blood and petty arguments there tho - its not pretty.

Re: Re: Re: [DUG]: Tuning SQL
Borlands behaviour over the entire open sourcing of InterBase has been somewhat curious to say the least, and the relationship between the open source project and the Borland project is currntly somewhat strained. But Thats a polite way of putting it, Max :) (see references on community.borland.com and www.ibpheonix.org (?. com?)) the open source is open, and can't be closed again, and development will continue reguardless of Borlands wishes, and more in line with what those doing the coding want. Technically, no. The name Interbase is NOT opensource - its still (tm) Borland (it was never released, AFAIK - that was one of the big blowup points in the whole mess last year). So we could have IBPheonix v1.0, but not Interbase 6.5 - IBP version - unless Borland legal dept. let them. But you are right - the code, or a snapshot called v6.0.1, is out there, and I for one think thats a good thing (my bank manager doesn't, as its less revenue and hence commission for me, but hey) Nic. --- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of unsubscribe delphi

Re: Re: Re: [DUG]: Tuning SQL
Prob as sure as you are on IB. Oh, I _know_ IB does not scale past 50 or so users on intel (well, 100, if you design the app right). Oracle goes into the 1000's on decient hardware (note, tho, I've never run IB on a Solaris box) There has been a bit of barny recently re PostgreSQL WAL (write ahead logging) interferrring or being interferred with (performance wise) with the Linux jounalling file system so you could say it it overly fault tolerant Fair enough - what method does it employ for logging of transactions? the same type as MSSQL and Oracle or the versioning type one that IB uses (which means even really large DB's take seconds to come back up) Hmm, Wheres DB2 (and didn't IBM just buy Informix?) and isn't MSSQL single platform (Unless you count all variantions of Windows as a platform) I forgot DB2, and yes, MSSQL is single platform.

It works for dial-up and ADSL but have never tried it with ISDN. Email me offlist if you like.

Re: [DUG]: d6 - pricing, mutter...
As an aside, this is one reason why Java has done so well - it transcends the heterogeneous nature of the enterprise. Note that the entrance cost of the JDK (and its labour saving class libraries) is very low. The enterance cost of the JDK, in $ terms, is low, but the productivity without a decient IDE is also VERY low. You need a debugger for java, just as you do for other environments. Just imagine doing delphi development with notepad and dcc32 - not a lot of fun. --- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of unsubscribe delphi

As I said, the prices have gone up, and the NZ doller has dropped quite a bit since delphi 5 was released. (which was, what, nearly 2 years ago now?)

That maybe so, but its tools like gcc (especially gcc) that make people use Delphi and Kylix in the first place. It may cost you $6K for the enterprise verison of the Delphi 6, but how long _extra_ (at, for eg, $80/hr) would it take to write an app in gcc?

[DUG]: Fw: Help us stress test the chat server! (and talk about next gen web services)
this is, I think, 3pm NZDT wednessday, but I'm not sure. The site is not up quite yet, tho :) On May 8, 2001, at 10:00am PDT (1700 GMT) we will be hosting a moderated live chat on the Borland Community Web Site. The subject of this chat will be Borland's Next Generation Web Services Strategy. Since this could be of interest to one or two people out there, the chat may get a little crowded, so we'd like to do some capacity testing TONIGHT for it. If the site is configured appropriately in time, Anders Oh!, Christine Ellis and myself will be moderating a general, free-for-all test chat in the Delphi room at 7:00 pm PDT (200 GMT, Tuesday) to see how much traffic our router can stand. The link for the chat test is: http://chatjet.borland.com/delphi If this room isn't available yet, that means it hasn't been configured properly yet. (A little background) For the Kylix launch chat, we had about 120 people, then we started experiencing bandwidth problems with the router. The chat machine itself was fine, of course, since it was built with Kylix g. For the Interbase chat, we had just under 100 people (97, IIRC) so we don't know for sure if the load problems have been solved. So, we'd like to try to get 300 - 500 people hitting the box tonight if possible. If you can help test it, I'd really appreciate it. If we hit problems with some lower number, we can throttle back the chat server to deny additional people logging in to the chat. Obviously, everyone is welcome to attend, so we'd like to make sure we can gracefully handle an overload of people and give them a room capacity has been set at x by the fire marshall message instead of some ugly web error. If you can help participate in the chat, or you haven't heard of our chat server before, please go to http://community.borland.com/chat/ to make sure you're all set for the chats both at 200 GMT and at 1700 GMT.

oops, its 1700GMT, which is, I think, 5am NZT?

(and talk about next gen web services) this is, I think, 3pm NZDT wednessday, but I'm not sure. The site is not up quite yet, tho :) On May 8, 2001, at 10:00am PDT (1700 GMT) we will be hosting a moderated live chat on the Borland Community Web Site. The subject of this chat will be Borland's Next Generation Web Services Strategy. Since this could be of interest to one or two people out there, the chat may get a little crowded, so we'd like to do some capacity testing TONIGHT for it. If the site is configured appropriately in time, Anders Oh!, Christine Ellis and myself will be moderating a general, free-for-all test chat in the Delphi room at 7:00 pm PDT (200 GMT, Tuesday) to see how much traffic our router can stand. The link for the chat test is: http://chatjet.borland.com/delphi If this room isn't available yet, that means it hasn't been configured properly yet. (A little background) For the Kylix launch chat, we had about 120 people, then we started experiencing bandwidth problems with the router. The chat machine itself was fine, of course, since it was built with Kylix g. For the Interbase chat, we had just under 100 people (97, IIRC) so we don't know for sure if the load problems have been solved.

Re: [DUG]: Fw: Help us stress test the chat server! (and talk about next gen web services)
As it says in the email, the problem is NOT the chat server, its the router. It flakes out at around 100 users, wihch I'd say would be regardless of protocol. tongue-in-cheek type=global-dominationanyway, why use something standard when you can use your own product/protocol?

(and talk about next gen web services) Why don't they just use an IRC server and a java irc client, and let those using BitchX or mIRC or XChat use that, getting problems at 100 users? eeep :P --On Tuesday, 8 May 2001 10:08 a.m. +1200 Nic Wise [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: (A little background) For the Kylix launch chat, we had about 120 people, then we started experiencing bandwidth problems with the router.
