Bryan,

Than you for your help, but the problem is the same, the error ODB930077 is
always then same. Can are that in the account need another special
configuration. My account is a valid schema, with ODBC I don't have
problems.

Cesar,

Ok, let's try this from another angle.  Go back to the original OLE DB
configuration under localuv:

DBMSTYPEUNIVERSE
networkTCP/IP
serviceuvserver
hostlocalhost

Start with that, and change the host to the actual host, and test with that.
That connection should work without a problem, just needing to be tuned to
your specific needs.  Then add one single configuration option at a time,
and test until you identify the failure.

You guys at IBM that read these posts can feel free to step in at anytime to
provide some sort of reasonable documentation/insight on UniOLEDB
configuration(s).

Bryan

 Cesar,

 Is the account name 'COMERCIAL' ?  If so, that's what it needs to be in
the
 UCI Config Editor, and not the explicit pathname for the account.

[U2] A CHALLENGE!

2004-05-21 Thread Yeatrakas,James
First, to the moderator. If this is not the place to do this, tell me now and
I will cease immediately or direct me to where I am authorized to do this.

Over the last 20 years I have spent roughly $85,000 of my own money and
thousands of hours plus buckets of sweat to develop a concept involving on
line real world semi-virtual tournaments for Bowling and Golf. I successfully
wrote the code in RBase back in the late 80's and used CoRemote to operate a
tournament between 11 Golf courses without the benefit of the internet. The
concept worked, but was klutzy in its technicality and far ahead of its time.
I wrote the code for Bowling as well, but as a stand alone app at one bowling
center. The tournaments are similar, but with variances for equalizing team
play and in the arena of golf, equalizing golf courses. Bowling did not
require the sophistication of equalizing golf courses, but they both worked in
concept.

Fast forward to the present. As the internet evolved, my skills to code fell
behind what was necessary to work in this new environment. I turned to others
to write the code with disastrous results. They took my money and I received
unworkable code in return.  I have had a developer work for a share of the
business, but when the DotCom bubble burst, he faded away without completing
the task.

So here is my proposal. I would like to challenge you who would be willing
take on a project and accept a challenge. I will send the requirements,
business rules, work flows and any other thing necessary to develop the
concept in Bowling. (the simplest and easiest of the two). You can develop
independently, or in teams. All who participate will share in the results
regardless if your concept is the one that we move forward with. All who
submit a finished working tournament will share equally. Those that
participate will share according to their input. How much will be determined
by the other participants. I retain a third ownership. Participants, by
agreeing to contribute, are agreeing to not compete as you will be using my
business concept, requirements and rules. The judges will be members of the mv
community, your peers, fellow developers, members in the bowling industry and
myself. This has a potential for becoming very convoluted if we make it that
way, so lets try to keep it as simple as possible. The one thing we need to
agree on is a time frame for completion. So, I suggest six months. If that is
not enough time, we can push it out to 12 months. Whichever we agree on, it
will then be rock solid. We will start the clock officially in the 4th of May
2004. You may begin whenever you wish.

My personal belief, based on the contests conducted in Sweden (?) is that this
could be developed as a non internet app in a week since most of the rules,
flows, DFD's, definitions and logic are already done. (The architecture is
designed around normalized dbs which we can thrown out the window right away).
The stumbling block for me has always been how to set it up for the internet.

I have no more resources left other than the ideas behind the concept, sweat
and time. You will have to provide your own licenses to whatever apps you
require as I do not have any left to contribute. I have a day job, as most all
of you do, so can only work on this off hours.  If you wish to participate, we
can make this an open forum, but I am willing to make this as simple as
possible. We can let the U2 community follow our progress, or not, as we deem
reasonable. This is a mv project, not only to make money, but if this is
successful it will be a shining star, a very visible one for db world we work
in.

There are no guarantees, and I have said, this would be my fourth effort at
it. It has not failed because the idea was flawed, it has failed because I
could not get a working demonstration to the Bowling Proprietors and the
Bowling community to witness. If we succeed in Bowling we move on to Golf or
for the more ambitious among you, you may work on that sport variation as
well. There are no other sports that will work as it is conceived today.

The concept is copyrighted, so there are some protections and I have the
opinion of the Attorney General of the State of South Carolina as to its
legality. This is a tournament concept. It's as simple as that.

I will send all supporting documents to those that respond. The web presence I
have for this is www.POTBOWLING.COM. It contains a general outline and some
FAQ's. It is a 1and1 site which is available for development or you can use
your own. I own POTBOWLING.COM.

Please respond in this list (if the moderator approves) and to my personal
email @ [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are interested.

Thanks!

 the OleDB connection property pages include two options: one for
allowing
 a blank
 password and one for saving the password.
 
 Neither of these work.
 
 You need to connect using a user name that is passworded, and supply
the
 password
 manually when you open your connection.

I use the tools from http://gpoulose.home.att.net/ to test the ODBC and
OLEDB connections. I've had problems in the past with access and excel. One
would work when the other wouldn't. It seemed to be something specific on my
PC

Cisar, are you sure you have the OLEDB drivers installed? I've found that
once I get ODBC working the OLEDB follows along.

Can you test your OLE DB connection using Excel, Access or

You should not have a problem with the default configuration.  
It sounds
like something else is going on here.  If it still doesn't work after
building the connection string, inserting user/pw, etc. as

there's a problem here that's a little deeper than the 
specific connection

I don't think his idea is an intentional scam or scam in any way. I just
think it's combining his interest in adding to these 2 sports with a new
twist and happens to be a MV programmer that has come to a brick wall,
technology-wise.

I have first-hand experience with just such a person. It's a little like
Ishmial from Moby Dick in his focus towards a goal that isn't that clear to
everyone else.

Perhaps he should try Coyote or PicLan or any of the other MV-Based

 the OleDB connection property pages include two options: one
 for allowing
 a blank
 password and one for saving the password.
 
 Neither of these work.
 
 You need to connect using a user name that is passworded, and
 supply the
 password
 manually when you open your connection.

Don't most flavors of unix support the /etc/nologin file?  The contents
of that file will be displayed instead of the usual 'Login please'
prompt to telnet connections, as well as preventing logins, except from
root.  Try 'man login' from your unix shell prompt for more info.  Just
setup the file as /etc/nologin.bak or something, then rename it at the
appropriate time, get everyone off, resize, rename the file back.

This worked as well in Digital Unix.

Anyone logged in, will remain in,
just will not allow any new logins.

I've done this when rebooting, but still have
stuff to startup, and don't want to be in
single user mode.

I'll touch the nologin file, do what I need
then rm it when it's ok to login.

I don't know if it will stop ftp logins however.

In RH, doing a touch /etc/nologin stops logins

RE: [U2] Preventing Unix Login

2004-05-21 Thread Anthony Dzikiewicz
One flavor of unix we ran looked for an /etc/nologin file.  If it existed,
it would print the contents of the message and not allow you to login.  When
we moved off that particular unix, we lost that functionality.  This is a
nice thing to have for reasons like you speak of.  So, we put a statement in
the users .profile as such;
if
   test -r /etc/nologin
then
   cat /etc/nologin
   exit
fi

We created a Universe command called 'FENCE.UP' that creates the 'nologin'
and a 'FENCE.DOWN' that deletes the 'nologin'.  Very simple and effective.
Since you are on unix and not windows, you could probably do the same.

RE: [U2] UniVerse in VB .NET

2004-05-21 Thread GB
We can confirm Colin's statement.  We are currently developing a new web
application using ASP.NET and C#.  We are accessing UniOLEDB (with UniData
6.0.12) through the COM interop capabilities of .NET from C#.  We had some
minor problems with the connection, but our developers eventually got
something working.  I'll see if they can provide some input.  Right now they
are chained to their workstations, trying to make up a missed deadline.
grin  The only other problem we had were some random E_FAIL and SQL
Rowcount errors.  IBM supplied a patch that dealt with some threading
issues, which fixed the problem.  The only bridge we have not crossed yet is
having multiple window services running our C# code, each having an OLEDB
connection open.  The window services will get their transactions through a
set of MSMQ queues.

On AIX the nologin file in /etc is removed on boot up. Be sure to

 We created a Universe command called 'FENCE.UP' that creates the 'nologin'
 and a 'FENCE.DOWN' that deletes the 'nologin'.  Very simple and effective.
 Since you are on unix and not windows, you could probably do the same.

RE: [U2] UniVerse in VB .NET

2004-05-21 Thread Bill H.
Colin:

Thanks for the info...sorry for providing the list with misinformation.  :-(

I noticed that UniObjects for .NET is under development and is due for
release sometime in mid 2004.  Also, the calls to U2 from .NET use SQL not
the U2 query language or a READ-type extraction.

There's been a lot of traffic here about the difficulties of setting up
UniObjects and UniOleDB for use by .NET.  I didn't really think it couldn't
be done, just not by a challenged individual such as myself. :-)

I've seen IBM presentations about their intent to link U2 to .NET and those
products are expected to be available in mid to late 2004 (the current set
of products were not sufficient).  I don't believe that for an MV developer,
building an SQL layer to access and update MV data is the optimal MV
solution.  The PDP.NET product seems to be in the right direction and I
assume IBMs forthcoming .NET solution(s) for U2 will be similar.

Not that I know of. The closest I've seen is using the OS information if the

with Redhat, the /etc/nologin.txt will only be displayed when
the users shell is listed as a nologin shell.

otherwise the contents of /etc/nologin is displayed. If you only
touch it, nothing will be displayed, but no login will take place.

To keep users other than root from being able to login do the
following:

1. login as root
2. touch /etc/nologin
3. vi /etc/nologin.txt (put in this file the message you want
displayed,
otherwise users may just think that they forgot their passwd)

this is how linux works, other flavors of unix either do the same or
something similar

Colin Alfke wrote:
 We did (somewhat) investigate the pdp.net route but cost 
 considerations precluded it for us.

Hi Colin - I initially thought that the cost for PDP.NET was prohibitive as
well but then I started asking questions and I was amazed that the cost is
MUCH less than what people think.  I had to send an extra e-mail saying are
you sure!? and to get it in writing.  RD Marketing has done a good job of
developing and promoting the software, but I think they missed the boat when
explaining the pricing model.  The pricing is actually pretty good whether
using persistent connections, or especially for non-persistent apps which
are permitted per recent RD marketing.  A non-persistent app can be written
with a thicker middle-tier, thicker client, and/or in combination with web
services.  The final cost is really dependent on how you code.  One-for-one
coding as we do with green screens will probably make cost an issue, but
then the question becomes whether end-users will pay more for apps that are
developed using brand-names like IBM and Microsoft .NET.  I think other
recent threads here have proven that people are paying outlandish prices for
brand-name GUI apps, so is added cost at this tier really prohibitive?

Everyone,
   This is a periodic plea for everyone to stamp out overquoting. When 
responding to a thread, please take a moment to hack loose any requoted

Yeah i have read that.
I have now got it working, it no longer gives me errors.
Also, this is a newb question now :)
Am i not supposed to see the tables veiw? I would assume not as it is a bit 
different to other databases.

Coz if you connect to say an SQL server you can see all the tables and 
veiws. but not with UniVerse?

Is that right?
