Re: [U2] Does UniVerse work with clusters of Unix machines?
UniVerse release 10.1.12 I am not using UV Transaction Logging or Replication. I'd like to be able to hook our IBM P570 and P650, and a Linux PC together, and have one instance of UniVerse using all computers, balancing the load between them, and sharing files and accounts between them (e.g. LOGTO P570 or LOGTO P650). I've never heard of IBM's HACMP clustering software. I will look into it.

RE: [U2] copying files in Unix from one IBM AIX computer to another IBM AIX computer
After you issue the dbpause, drop to aix as root and do a few sync commands, thusly: # sync cr # sync cr # sync cr I usually give it a few seconds in between issuing the commands, but when I script it, it's sync; sync; sync, so there's probably no reason to wait in between.

Re: [U2] UniObjects error 30105 Unable to load subroutine on server
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], David Jordan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Hi Wol UniObjects does not like returning unassigned variables, it causes a fatal. In the unibasic subroutine, you could check if the parameter is unassigned and set it to before returning. Thanks - that's a good thing to know. But it's not the case here. The error is that the subroutine never gets called, if I've got it right. Certainly, none of the DataBasic code seems to run (almost the first thing it does is write diagnostic tracking stuff to a file, and that never happens). And all the arguments are assigned in my VB app before I call it, so they should still be assigned when it returns :-) Thanks, Wol -- Anthony W. Youngman [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'Yings, yow graley yin!

RE: [U2] copying files in Unix from one IBM AIX computer to another IBM AIX computer
I tried suspend the other day and was surprised to find that if you suspended the database while a lock was present it preserved the lock making it stop a copy waiting for the lock to be released. This is on UV 10.1.12. So I'm not surprised that it could cause other problems. You need to get everyone to stop updating and releasing all locks before setting the suspend.

I recommend rsync for the copy also if you wanted to avoid NFS. You should still quiesce the database, though. But it would reduce your downtime to seconds, potentially. It boils down to this... stopud (or dbpause) create snapshots mount snapshots startud (or dbresume) copy at your leisure remove snapshots I've never used dbpause, probably because the thought of many many transactions being buffered until dbresume scares me.

RE: [U2] copying files in Unix from one IBM AIX computer to another IBM AIX computer
If business data integrity is a major concern, then you also need to ensure you business processing is complete and (ideally) - shutdown the UniVerse environment prior to any manipulation of UV database files using third-party/OS tools (rm, cp, rcp, scp, mv, tar, etc, etc). For high-availability systems, stopping UV isn't an feasible option for daily snapshot backups. Caution needs to be exercised at the target end (for your backup) as well. Especially if you're overwritting existing disk backups which may be in use, etc. Then you will get logical file corruptions, especially if dealing with open dynamic files. Hence, extreme care is need for the backup and restore of dynamic files. Also be aware that UniVerse files with indices need to have 'SET.INDEX' run against them post-restore (if in a complete different path), if you're going to access the backup version (and want to use the correct index AND stop corrupt of your live version if co-located on the same host:)).
