RE: [U2] RBO properties lose their values (RedBack 4.3)
Laure, We noticed this problem about two years ago. We have a client that uses RedBack exclusively for data entry and reporting for their public storage warehouse. Every now and then we lose data inexplicably. This happens about twice or three times a week. Since we use RedBack for most of our reading and writing, we tried to find it with the logging turned up. All that did was slow down the system on generate a lot of log reading for us. Restarting RedBack does clear up the problem but for an unknown reason. We thought there might be a problem in IIS, but restarting it proved to be inconclusive. With IBM only releasing a new version of RedBack every year and no bug fixes, we wrote our own middleware using UniObjects, open source jsonrpc.org and open source Apache's Tomcat. We converted all of our objects and forms to our new platform. We do not have that problem any more. You can contact me offline for more information.

The issue seems to be, simply, that the GetProperty returns a blank when a value should be gotten. I cannot find evidence of loss of connectivity or other problems in any of the logs. The Redback out logs are seamless as well. It looks however like a restart of the RedBack scheduler fixes the problem, but only for a short period of time, or possibly only for a specific user. This is not happening consistently for everyone, not is it happening consistently for a single user. There have been no changes to any of the code, web form, scripting etc in the application we're having problems with, in about 2 months. There had been no changes to the Universe server or OS either except that I finally installed SP2 (Win2003 server) yesterday - but the first report of the problem came on Friday.

Re: [U2] curious EQUATE issue - SOLVED Just want to know if anyone understands WHY?
When the new version of the equate was compiled under Information flavor, the compiler warned that it was a Reality style LOCATE. To its credit, the compiler defers the evaluation of the EQU until it is used, at which point, it evaluates it in context, so the compiler is evaluating VALID.CC.TYPES1,1 as A':@VM:'B':@VM:'D':@VM:'M':@VM:'S':@VM:'V'1,1 The vlist output below gives a good hint as to what is going on. Notice that the field,value is being applied to the last value of the EQU string prior to doing the build with the rest of the codes. In the Reality format, it is legitimate to omit the field,value specifier, in which case the program will do a field level search rather than a value level search. This quirk would only show up with the use of an EQUATE rather than a variable assignment. If you feel compelled to use an EQUATE for the codes, you could overcome the issue with a temporary assignment such as EQU VALID.CC.TYPES TO 'A':@VM:'B':@VM:'D':@VM:'M':@VM:'S':@VM:'V' ... CC.TYPES = VALID.CC.TYPES LOCATE X IN CC.TYPES1,1 ... - VLIST of LOCATE on original equate -- 5: LOCATE X IN VALID.CC.TYPES1,1 BY 'AL' SETTING LP THEN Press any key to continue... 5 E : 060 dyn_extractV 1 1 0 = $R0 5 0001A : 03A concat A}B}D}M}S} $R0 = $R1 5 00022 : 0D4 locate X $R1 1 0 0 AL = LP 5 00032 : 0C4 jumpf --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Let's start with the basics: 1) What version of the UV/ODBC driver are you using to push the data from SQL Server into UV? 2) UV version and OS platform 3) Not really applicable in this particular issue, but: if on UNIX platform: what ODBC driver manager are using and the version? Have you re-linked UV with the ODBC driver manager? 4) have you ever had this work before? 5) have you successfully connected to UV from SQL server, if so - at what point does it fail?

RE: [U2] Indexing Optimization
So, Ray, where do I find these rules? Are they written down somewhere that I can get to and acquire a copy? Jef. - Partial Original Message- No, it's true for all cases. UniVerse indexes are only used on restrictions in the first WITH phrase in the query. That's one of the rules. Indexes are used except: 1. if the NO.INDEX keyword is specified 2. if an active Select List can be used (similar logic to current thread) 3. if the restriction is in other than the first WITH clause 4. if there is an OR conjunction with a non-indexed field 5. if will satisfy the restriction (for example a or restriction) and the index is NO.NULLS 6. if the restriction on an indexed field follows a restriction on a non-indexed field in an AND conjunction (this can be re-ordered to get the index used, but is not re-ordered by the query optimizer) An index may also be used if the query is sorted on the indexed field and not constrained. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] curious EQUATE issue - SOLVED Just want to know if anyone understands WHY?

the compiler is evaluating VALID.CC.TYPES1,1 as
A':@VM:'B':@VM:'D':@VM:'M':@VM:'S':@VM:'V'1,1
The precedence of concatenation is lower than dynamic array extraction. Try
placing parenthesis characters around the equate definition. E.g. EQU
VALID.CC.TYPES TO ('A':@VM:'B':@VM:'D':@VM:'M':@VM:'S':@VM:'V'). It might be
necessary to use the EQUATE LITERALLY form to maintain the parenthesis
characters.
