Re: [U2] +AFs-UD+AF0- Halting a Unidata process
We are running UD 5.2.32 on Sun 5.9. Sometimes a '!kill [pid]' doesn't halt a Unidata process. In your experience, would '!kill -15 [pid]' cause any Unidata problems like file corruption, etc? It could indeed cause file corruption if the pid was in the middle of a WRITE. Regardless, the 'stopudt' command shipped with Unidata is simply doing a kill -TERM pid (TERM is signal 15). -- Jeff Butera, Ph.D. Administrative Systems Hampshire College [EMAIL PROTECTED] 413-559-5556 ...our behavior matters more than the beliefs that we profess.

Infact kill -TERM is what the stopudt script (NOT stopud!!!) does. :!cat $UDTBIN/stopudt #! /bin/sh # # This script is to be used on Unix platforms. # # stopudt: Stops one or more udt or mach processes cleanly, # by process id. kill -TERM $* exit 0 A kill -KILL (kill -9) has and will lead to file corruption if the process being killed is in the process of updating files etc... Also, check out the deleteuser command. To be used with caution :HELP DELETEUSER deleteuser Syntax deleteuser pid Description The system-level deleteuser command deletes a process, removing its identification number (pid) from the active UniData user list, and freeing up a UniData license. This command sends a signal to the process requesting that the process terminate in an orderly manner, then waits for five seconds to see if the process was terminated. If the process is still active, deleteuser forces immediate termination of the process. deleteuser can be helpful to clean up orphaned processes after a system crash or when an active process aborts. Use this command at the system prompt, or use the ECL ! (bang) command to execute this command from the ECL prompt. Warning: Killing a process that may be accessing a file may cause file corruption. Forcing a process to terminate interrupts writes in progress. Note: To execute the deleteuser command, you must log in as root on UniData for UNIX or as Administrator on UniData for Windows Platforms. - Regards, Anthony Corrente. --- Cordes, Tom (contractor) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, We are running UD 5.2.32 on Sun 5.9.

RE: [U2] uvo.net UvBasic .Net
From what we have experienced here, the addition of .NET applications on top of Unidata that replace existing green screen functions is not a benefit. Depending on how they are written. The users who have been using they older green screens, want them back. Clicking around .NET screens is not more productive or faster. The learning curve for new users is much lower and for the occasional user the interface is better, but when your dealing with how many orders a single person can process in one day, and how many phone calls one person can field in a day, the green screen is the fastest interface. The problem is that no one wants to buy a product that looks old. So software companies need to update to the latest technology to keep selling the product. For new installs I can say that there is a big advantage to having something that looks new and is easy to learn. I guess there is always a trade off when using new technology.

Jerry, We moved off an HP K460 to RH on an IBM x-series box just over a year ago. We average about 100 - 200+ users, depending on the time of year (pre-registration is a heavy time!), and have had minimal problems with it. Don't recall making any config changes. We're running a dual-proc (2.8GHz), with 2.5 GB memory. The main issue was rewriting our spooler scripts, because of the differences in the way it works (no hpnpf for hitting JetDirect-based printers, address the port directly.)

RE: [U2] UV on Linux
We have been live since October. Everything is fine at the Universe level. We havent had any major issues at all. One thing we used to do to get users off at the end of the night or when needed is to do a 'MASTER OFF ALL'. It doesn't work on the Linux version. Other than that, Universe is peachy. I find that support for Linux is generally lacking. Red Hat support is 'alright'. We have RedHat support thru IBM, which is much better than the RedHat support (IBM is usually a knowledgeable person that speaks English very well vs the RedHat guy who is not always very knowledgeable and has an accent that requires a special hearing device to interpret). IBM support is cheaper too. We keep RedHat for the up2date functionality and the resources they have. It really is a nice way to keep things current. Are you using all Dell Hardware ? We are running an IBM xSeries Server and an EMC Clariion. We are having performance issues with intensive writes to the disk array. There is a minor issue with this when doing the same kind of operation on the internal disks. Intensive disk writes could be an batch application that reads records from one file, deletes and writes to another (say 100,000 records type 30 files with indexes). We do this for archiving data. It could be a linux 'cp' command copying a large file (100meg) to the disk array. What happens is that the system goes into an iowait state and user response is non-existent. Sometimes, the system will hang for close to a minute until the i/o completes. We are also using Qlogic 2340 HBA's to connect the IBM to the Clariion. If you look thru the RedHat Bugzilla, there have been issues with the driver for this hardware. We will be testing out some Emulex cards next week to see if that improves things. If you have the luxury to evaluate your system, definitely try copying some large files or 'archiving' type processes while users are on. Monitor performance with the 'top' command. Then determine if things are acceptable. We converted from a DG/UX box with a Clariion. Performance was never really an issue on that platform and these types of operations would absolutely go unnoticed. EMC has been trying to help with the issue since February. I have to say that their support SUCKS !!! It seems that there is no one there that knows anything about Linux. I am finding this in general. When you mention that you are running Linux, a dark cloud appears. So, you probably will not get the excellent type of support that you might be accustomed to with Solaris. I would assume that you like Dell support ? My experience with them is that they went from once upon a time very good (8 years ago or so) to the pits. Every time I call, I get transferred overseas to India and the conversation is almost unbearable. Recently, I ordered an extra cpu for our testmachine, which is a Dell. They cancelled it with out any notice ! When I called to reorder, they said I couldn't, because it wasn't in stock. So, I have to keep calling until I get a 'hit'. This is really a joke.

RE: [U2] Off topic - resizing open files in Advanced Pick/AIX
(Non-technical comments here can easily apply to U2 sites.) As with all new procedures, I highly recommend that you do extensive testing on the target system before running on live client data. Slam the files that are being resized with different kinds of simultaneous updates and see if the file maintains its integrity afterward. I normally recommend that a VAR test this sort of thing off of the end-user system first, but chances are you don't have a spare AP/AIX box laying around. Caution advised: Your client is running AP 6.1 and the software is now at a level called D3 7.4.3. A large number of things have been fixed since 6.1. Manu claims RESIZE works but without running that command extensively on the specific AP/AIX 6.1 platform with the same patches as your client has, I don't think that statement of encouragement should be taken as carte blanche to run the process on live data. Before your client's system 9 year old dies with no hope of recovery or reactivation, I highly suggest you start discussing upgrades with them, or since you're in a U2 forum then perhaps migration is more on your mind. And why in the wide world of sports do people keep posting Advanced Pick and mvBASE questions to this U2 forum?!

RE: [U2] UV on Linux
Keep in mind that I'm not a certified Linux engineer. :P The only file I/O problem I know of, with 2.4 kernels, is the buffering issue. All kernel block devices are buffered by the kernel, unless they are bound by a raw device binding. This could be the culprit in the driver's bottleneck situation. Try binding a partition to raw, on that disk array, and then perform some high-speed read/write tests. You might be surprised at the throughput difference. raw -qa lists all bound block devices. I don't recommend raw bindings to be done when neither the hardware, nor the software writing to disk handles I/O buffering. You may end up making it worse. In my case, I have a fast caching RAID controller and D3 has a write buffering system in place. When the kernel jumps in and buffers too, things go wacko and user response drops to between 15 seconds and 1 minute under normal disk activity. That's for 25 users on an AMD 2+Ghz with 1GB ECC. I don't know if UV/Linux caches its own writes and reads. If it does, then using raw bindings should help with disk throughput by eliminating the middleman. Don't hold me to that, though. PS: Changing the kernel file-max will only increase the number of files that can be open at a time. If you have a well trained disk subsystem then it's kosher to do that, because the kernel probably won't have to use swap for buffering. Mine happens to be 104851 and it's been chugging along for a couple years now with no disk I/O problems. When you pound on swap ontop of a continuous heavy I/O load, then you're just begging for a kernel panic. According to the Linux configuration guide, you should set file-max to 256 files per 4MB of memory. 1GB would be (250 * 4MB) * 256 files = 64000 for file-max. Of course, you can tweak that number up until you hit a swap or disk subsystem threshold. Your box should only use a small amount of swap under normal operating conditions. If it is using over 25%, then it's time for more memory!

RE: [U2] UV on Linux
CUPS - That reminds me. We had an issue with CUPS default settings. We had a problem with the default (500) amt of print jobs in the spooler. When we would generate tags for the showroom (about 1400) the system would start dropping new jobs after the 500 limit was reached. The other thing we noticed was that spooler commands like 'lpstat -t' started to respond very sluggish over time. This was due to CUPS keeping a log of every print job. We also had to 'turn off' this feature in the config file. Just something that had to be learned the hard way.
