Set up a unix script and run the (can be from the crontab if you like)

This works for us

Subject: [U2] [UV] Start a phantom from DOS Command Line

I need to run a UniVerse BASIC program or a PHANTOM command from a DOS
command line so that I can 'schedule' a batch file that will start a
phantom
that needs to run all the time... Right now, the phantom goes offline
with
the backup, and I want to 'auto restart' it at 6am using the Windows
Scheduler.

I can't find a 'DOS command line' launcher like I have in UniData.

For example, I want to either execute:
PHANTOM PROGNAME VAR1 VAR2

OR

RUN BP PROGNAME.LAUNCHER   ... that in itself does the PHANTOM launch.

How do I get that to a 'one line BAT file' entry?  I've looked at the
manual
using 'launch' 'run' 'start' as index lookup items -- none seem to tell
me
how to start from a DOS command prompt and execute a UniVerse shell and
directl launch a phantom/program.  And I thought it was going to be
uvsh,
but it does not appear it can 'take' arguments...

Thanks for an suggestion here!

RE: [U2] SOAP in Unidata 6.1

2008-08-22 Thread Larry Hiscock
Thanks for the example.  This is pretty close to what I had.  The problem
turns out to be that apparently Unidata doesn't build the SOAP envelope
quite right if you use the SOAPSetParameters function as the example in the
manual does.  When I built the entire content manually, and used
SOAPSetRequestContent, everything worked just fine.

Now to see if I can find out why Unidata won't load the xalan and xerces

RE: [U2] UONET connection pool problem

2008-08-22 Thread David Wolverton
One of the reasons we CANNOT leave RedBack is the pricing logic of
Connection Pools -- At least with RedBack, each new account only costs us
the price of a single U2 seat and as long as the volume is not too high,
you're good to go... The WebShare gives the bandwidth (how many transactions

cheaply.

IBM knows all this -- I've complained about it every chance I get!

In my mind, the answer is that Connection Pooling pricing should be more in

RE: [U2] SOAP in Unidata 6.1

2008-08-22 Thread Tony G
Larry - I didn't recognize up front that you were talking about
UD as webservice client.  However the solution is the same.
Creating a web service client and/or only takes a couple seconds
(as seen in the video).  This is how our products work - we write
an item to a file that's polled every second or so, the data is
pulled into a middle-tier, then it's passed to a web service and
the result is passed back through the same channel.  The MV DBMS
never needs to speak to a web service.  There's no SOAP, no XML,
no protocols, no xerxes libs or xalan - and to move data to a
relational DBMS we never use VSG, ODBC, or flatten data.  The
value-add that we provide is to make the entire process available
through well-defined BASIC subroutines so that the MV developer
doesn't need to know anything at all about how an external
interface works.  I don't know why people are so absolutely
fixated on spending all of this time to make the MV environment
do all of these things when there are non-MV tools (free and
otherwise) that specialize in doing them.

RE: [U2] [UV] Start a phantom from DOS Command Line

2008-08-22 Thread Tony G
You're talking about an environment where the DBMS is on the same
Windows system as the system where the command is being executed.
A couple days ago a colleague suggested to me that it would
really be cool if we could start an MV process from anywhere on
the network.  Well, for about a year now mvExec has been
available as freeware for just that purpose.  It doesn't matter
if your MV environment is Unidata, Universe, or any other
platform, or which OS the DBMS is running on.  You can move data
to/from the DBMS, execute reports and return data to the local
file system or pass data as input to some other Windows process,
or move data amongst MV or non-MV environments.  Use it to send
or receive email, send/accept web service calls, update or query
relational databases, or import/export data with Excel or any
other tools.  See the RTF Readme document:
remove.pleaseNebula-RnD.com/freeware

If you already have mv.NET then download and enjoy this utility
as you wish.  If you don't have mv.NET you can obtain it from any
reseller.

RE: [U2] SOAP in Unidata 6.1

2008-08-22 Thread David Jordan
Hi Tony

One of the reasons to keep everything in the U2 environment is that it is
nice for an ISV when you have little control of the environment you putting
the product in.  If you can just load universe on the server and everything
works life is easy.  Every time you layer another product, it is one more
thing that can go wrong.  I have had to put applications into difficult,
high secure environments and the simpler the environment the easier.  It is
also cheaper as you do not need as many support staff.  

What makes me nervous and this includes IBM tools, is that clean simple
environment to install and support is not as easy to do and it is something
all tool providers need to focus on if they want ISVs to include their
tools.

RE: [U2] SOAP in Unidata 6.1

2008-08-22 Thread Larry Hiscock
I appreciate that, and I'm not afraid to use third party middleware when it
makes sense.  It doesn't really make sense in this instance.  It took all of
about six lines of code to create the SOAP request, set the XML and submit
the request.  It's certainly not stretching the language when the
functionality is built in.  Constructing the SOAP request is trivial.
Parsing the return is a little more work, but not difficult.

Rather than even waste time trying to figure out why the xalan and xerces
libs wouldn't load (this thing is running on an old SCO OSR 5.0.7 box after
all), I just scrapped the built in XDOM routines and resurrected an XML
parser I wrote in Basic years ago.  A couple of simple subroutine calls, and
I have the fields I want from the XML doc.

At any rate, I was creating a proof of concept, and now it's done.  I'll
be cleaning it up and implementing it next week.

pulled into a middle-tier, then it's passed to a web service and
the result is passed back through the same channel.  The MV DBMS
never needs to speak to a web service.  There's no SOAP, no XML,
no protocols, no xerxes libs or xalan - and to move data to a
relational DBMS we never use VSG, ODBC, or flatten data.  The
value-add that we provide is to make the entire process available
through well-defined BASIC subroutines so that the MV developer
doesn't need to know anything at all about how an external
interface works.  I don't know why people are so absolutely
fixated on spending all of this time to make the MV environment
do all of these things when there are non-MV tools (free and
otherwise) that specialize in doing them.

 Thanks for the example.  This is pretty close to what 
 I had. The problem turns out to be that apparently 
 Unidata doesn't build the SOAP envelope quite right if 
 you use the SOAPSetParameters function as the example 
 in the manual does.  When I built the entire content 
 manually, and used SOAPSetRequestContent, everything 
 worked just fine.
 
 Now to see if I can find out why Unidata won't load 
 the xalan and xerces libs to parse the XML  :-S
