Re: [U2] mv.NET and U2.NET

2010-08-04 Thread George Land
 At the risk of sounding like I'm disparaging a competing
 offering, here is my understanding of U2.NET.  Corrections are
 welcome:
 1) U2.NET is essentially an old version of mv.NET (a fork).  A
 license to the source was purchased by IBM from BlueFinity.  It's
 essentially v3.2.x (?) frozen in time.

Not quite, U2.NET has it's origins in mv.NET but has since been developed on by 
IBM/Rocket.  I understand that Initially the work focussed on making it more 
performant and on improving the installability of it.  It is now a fully 
fledged Rocket product with a development path of it's own.

 2) It has not progressed in sync with mv.NET to support new
 features like Solution Objects (code generation of strongly-typed
 business classes) or the new extended support for Silverlight.
 No license was purchased by IBM/Rocket for ongoing enhancements
 or fixes from BlueFinity.

Again, not quite.  Bluefinity don't develop U2.NET it is a Rocket product with 
a development path and development team of it's own.  It won't develop in sync 
with mv.NET or with anything else, it is an independent product with it's own 
development path.

 3) Where the same mv.NET software can be used across almost all
 Pick/MV platforms, U2.NET hase been restricted to operating only
 with U2.

I really don't get this.  Land Rover make aftermarket products for Land Rovers, 
they don't make them for Jeeps.  U2 represents the overwhelming majority of the 
mv market, it would be perverse of them to even consider making their tools 
work with anything other than U2.  What you will get with a Rocket product is 
something that is designed for and written for U2.  As UniVerse and UniData 
move forwards so the tools move forwards with them, and vice versa.   

 4) I originally thought and hoped that it would be provided free
 to the U2 client base.  I really wanted to use U2.NET as an
 alternative to UO.NET and mv.NET for sites where it was better
 suited.  But to my surprise this severely and intentionally
 limited product (in current features and its future) is being
 sold to U2 sites at a price comparable to mv.NET itself.

If you want free then you should be looking at IBM.NET (soon to be renamed), 
with is an ADO.NET provider with add ins for Visual Studio, including support 
for SSIS and SSRS, LINQ, Silverlight and support for U2 Automatic Data 
Encryption.   With it, you can access your U2 Data with SQL commands (like 
select, insert),  U2 style access too (U2 Subroutines, unnest, DynArray Class, 
CALL LIST and SQLExecDirect), or through XML (TOXML, GETXMLSUB, XmlAdapter) and 
with Object Data access (LINQ to Entity, EDM Model).

[U2] Impossible to handle big files (over 2 Gb) with Universe on PowerPC

2010-08-04 Thread Augusto Alonso
Hi.
I have a big problem.
In Universe 10.1.21 on RedHat PowerPC I need to handle big files, but it is
impossible.

I have tested it and I have  this ERROR:

CREATE.FILE TEST 2 2
Creating file TEST as Type 2, Modulo 2, Separation 4.
Creating file D_TEST as Type 3, Modulo 1, Separation 2.
Added @ID, the default record for RetrieVe, to D_TEST.

RESIZE TEST 18 1 1 64BIT
RESIZE: Invalid file name, sizing parameter, or option on command line.


Even trying to create it:

CREATE.FILE NEWFILE 2 2 2 64BIT
Enhanced files (64bit) are not currently supported on this platform.


I'm very surprised that I am the first customer with this issue, but the
tech people from Rocket said that there is no plans to solve it.

Does anyone knows any workaround?

To check if your system handles large file support you need to use the getconf 
program, syntax something like getconf FILESIZEBITS /path on most systems.

Re: [U2] mv.NET and U2.NET

2010-08-04 Thread Tony Gravagno
 From: George Land
 U2.NET has it's origins in mv.NET but has since 
 been developed on by IBM/Rocket.  I understand that Initially 
 the work focussed on making it more performant and on 
 improving the installability of it.

I didn't know about installability changes.  mv.NET can be
installed in a variety of configurations and over many MV
environments, so the installation can be confusing.  This is why
we offer free installation and configuration to prospects and
clients.  I would really like to see a video or online webinar
that shows a U2.NET installation so that I can understand how
Rocket has improved the process.


  2) It has not progressed in sync with mv.NET...

 Bluefinity don't develop U2.NET it is a Rocket product 
 with a development path and development team of it's 
 own.  It won't develop in sync with mv.NET or with 
 anything else, it is an independent product with it's 
 own development path.

Um, that's exactly what I said.  ;)  Seriously - I'm not aware of
the U2.NET development path and I think Bill was wondering
exactly what that path is so that he can compare it with what's
been done with mv.NET since the fork.


  3) Where the same mv.NET software can be used across almost
all
  Pick/MV platforms, U2.NET hase been restricted to operating
only
  with U2.
 
 I really don't get this.

My point was that a product that works for all platforms was
stripped down to work with one platform and then sold at (my
understanding) the same price.  Where's the value-add in that?
Why wouldn't someone just get the full version that has extensive
enhancements over the stripped-down version if they're going to
pay the exact same price (or less)?

 Land Rover make aftermarket products for Land Rovers, 
 they don't make them for Jeeps.   U2 represents the 
 overwhelming majority of the mv market, it would be 
 perverse of them to even consider making their tools 
 work with anything other than U2.

Firestone makes tires for Jeep and Land Rover, what value (or
business motivation) would there be in Land Rover rebranding a
line of Firestone tires that can only be used on their vehicles -
and at the same price as Firestone - especially while Firestone
continues to enhance their cross-vehicle offerings?

 What you will get with a Rocket product is 
 something that is designed for and written for U2.

This software was not designed for and written for U2.  They
bought source code, cut out pieces, and rebranded it.

When IBM had their name behind the software, there was a
perceived it says IBM, it must be better.  Now it's just
Rocket.  C'mon.  That's not going to help anyone's marketing.
So now we need to focus on technology and price, and this
question about what differentiates U2.NET from other offerings is
much more important.

As an aside, I think the embrace and extend approach to
business is a little silly.  Isn't this one of the reasons why so
many people dislike Microsoft?  If U2 vendors want to get DBMS
business from other MV providers they should encourage developers
to use cross-platform tools like mv.NET simply to make migrations
easier.  By creating a fork of a product like this that is
potentially incompatible with the cross-platform product,
IBM/Rocket essentially puts up another barrier to migration.  Now
if IBM/Rocket rebrands a product like mv.NET and keeps it in sync
with the baseline, companies eventually migrate the mv.NET code
that they continue to develop, if they find that worthwhile, with
very little pain.  Developers like myself could also more easily
offer services for either product.  Perhaps I missed an
opportunity by not marketing myself as a U2.NET developer.  But
I'm glad I didn't, as I would soon get frustrated with inability
to do things with U2.NET that I can do with mv.NET.  That said,
hey, if anyone needs help with a new U2.NET interface, let me
know. :)


 If you want free then you should be looking at IBM.NET (soon 
 to be renamed), with is an ADO.NET provider with add ins for 
 Visual Studio...

Yes, perhaps that is the free offering that I was looking for.  I
had no idea IBM.NET was so sophisticated.  Your description
includes many (all?) features already in mv.NET, with different
names and coding approaches.  I will be interested in seeing how
Rocket positions IBM.NET against U2.NET.  I'm guessing the
differentiator is that U2.NET makes use of session management
inherited from mv.NET where this may not be available in IBM.NET?

Thanks for the notes.

Re: [U2] Impossible to handle big files (over 2 Gb) with Universe onPowerPC

2010-08-04 Thread Dan Fitzgerald

I'm curious as to why the app won't allow distributed files.
 
Is the 64BIT parameter in uvconfig set to 1?
 
If so, then it's probably either the Redhat PowerPC is a 32-bit version, or 
it's very old 32-bit hardware. If either of these are the case, you'll want to 
upgrade to 64-bit versions.

 To check if your system handles large file support you need to use the

 Hi.
 I have a big problem.
 In Universe 10.1.21 on RedHat PowerPC I need to handle big files, but it is 
 impossible.
 
 I have tested it and I have this ERROR:
 
 CREATE.FILE TEST 2 2

 Added @ID, the default record for RetrieVe, to D_TEST.

 Even trying to create it:

 Enhanced files (64bit) are not currently supported on this platform.
 
 
 I'm very surprised that I am the first customer with this issue, but the tech

 Does anyone knows any workaround?

[U2] XLr8 + Subversion

I just downloaded the Eclipse XLr8 plug-in and we want to setup Eclipse with 
Subversion. I wasn't sure how to do this, I tried a couple things 
and it didn't seem to work. If someone could steer me down the right direction 
I would really appreciate it. We're using the latest version

Re: [U2] XLr8 + Subversion

2010-08-04 Thread Doug
I just spoke with Chris on the phone.  But for those of you who don't know,
XLr8Editor works with Subversion.

In a few minutes on the phone with me, without a license, Chris checked in
his source code into a Subversion project.  Chris did not write any scripts
or any other code.  All he did was copy and paste his source from Universe
to his local workspace and team it in to Subversion.  This means it is
that easy to have version control without spending thousands and thousands
of dollars.  

Regards,
Doug

BTW: Eclipse supports CVS, Perforce, Git, and Subversion as version control.

Hi Dan.
Yes, the 64BIT parameter in uvconfig is set to 1. (However, the CONFIG ALL
reports 0...)
Yes, the Redhat is a 32-bit version, and it's the last one. And the hardware
is brand new.
The problem has been certified by RocketSoftware, who suggest to change the
OS to AIX-Powerpc. (Universe for AIX-PPC has newer versions than Linux-PPC)

And the difficulty to distribute files is because of the Indexes. (We have
pointers to the Index Files...)

After changing uvconfig you must compile it. I believe the uniadmin does 
this for you, but you probably have to shutdown and restart UniVerse. 
Check the time date stamp on .uvconmfig (the compiled version) to see if 
it matches.

Good Day,

 

We are in the process of upgrading from Universe 9.6 to 10.3, and we have
noticed that the system performance is degraded when we use an I-Type
dictionary with subroutine calls, and the item is also an alternate key.

It seems that the report run about 4 or 5 times slower.

Is there someone else who has encountered similar issues?

Any ideas?
