Hi Brian/U2UG, Now that I work for Rocket, I'm not sure if I should still vote. Thoughts? If I can, I'd like to reiterate the questions I posed this time last year before I do vote. Hi all, I've posted an open letter regarding the U2UG elections to the nominees. I'd love to see more dialogue

You work for Rocket. There are 20 U2 people there, and only 2 have heard of U2UG. Words fail me. I'm not sure if I should be just amazed or righteously angry. -Original Message- From: Daniel McGrath dmcgr...@rocketsoftware.com To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Fri,

Hold on, That is the quoted text from my email to this list last year. I don't think there is anyone on the Rocket U2 team that has not heard of U2UG. Also, there is many more than 20 U2 people here at Rocket. Cheers, Dan -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org

Dan Absolutely you should vote..! The U2UG is best served through its relationship with Rocket, so there is nothing to prevent members from Rocket from voting, standing or otherwise contributing. In fact, the more the merrier. (We do have Rocket U2UG members - though many haven't updated their

[U2] New U2 BDT

2012-03-09 Thread Bill Haskett
I installed the new U2 BDT (Basic Developer's Toolkit) and attempted to use it. In the U2 resource tab (after I created a server connection) one gets a list of accounts. Drilling in one gets a list of files. These include links ('Q'-files). When I click on one of the program links I get

[U2] Global Catalog: Universe vs. Unidata

2012-03-09 Thread Kevin King
On Unidata, globally cataloguing a program causes it to run in a separate memory space so that if 10 users are running the program, only one copy of the routine is loaded into memory. From the docs: Multiple users can run globally cataloged programs simultaneously — UniData brings one copy of the

The concept is similar, but there's an additional step. See UV 11.1 Administering Universe pdF, Chapter 18, UniAdmin pdf, Chapter 16, Managing Catalog Shared Menu. Most UV shops in my experience don't bother with it, but I think it's a good tool and not difficult to master. cds On

Hi Bill: BDT uses UOJ for connection which does not support environmental variables. You would have to shell out to get them and convert the files manually. I looked in the manuals and did not find an alternative. BDT does not have a keep alive. The default for a UOJ session is an hour. If

Thanks Doug. Just another product that forces me to dance to their tune rather than letting me work in the most efficient manner that 20 years of experience has taught me. Yes, they're much smarter and better than me. But then, my daughter informs me just how stupid I am on a daily basis!
