RE: [U2] static/dynamic file(s) opinions wanted!
This is the first time I have encountered a restriction on using CONCURRENT on Type 30 files. It comes as quite a surprise, because 24x7 sites like the Ambulance Service need it. I suspect that the error on USING is a subsequent error from the first one. You should always be able to specify an alternative file system, against the possibility that there's not enough space on the current file system for the second copy of the file. Would be interested to hear what IBM support has to say on this. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
Re: [U2] static/dynamic file(s) opinions wanted!
Tom, The point is that it doesn't work with dynamic files. David, I don't really think you need to resize dynamic files because they are always resizing themselves, unless they are not changing size. This type of resizing is equivalent to defragging on a windows system. Since dynamic files resize every time they split then it is not necessary.

[U2] CAPTURING TOXML
Hello. I've been building and returning some simple pages from Unidata to PHP, but I now have a big complex report to adapt. Is there someway that I can take advantage of the TOXML verb by CAPTURING the XML and returning it to the calling PHP? I tried something like this. ECMD = "SELECT TOXML" EXECUTE ECMD CAPTURING RESULT (where RESULT is returned to the calling PHP program.but got the error message: protocol error: , Invalid document end at col 32. Check the back end log for details. I suspect this is due to the marks separating the dynamic array elements. Will something like this work, or am I barking up the wrong tree? And where is the backend log? Charles Shaffer Senior Analyst NTN-Bower Corporation --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] static/dynamic file(s) opinions wanted!
[ad] Hi HTH, U2logic has created a resize plug-in for Eclipse IDE that surpasses their functionality. We do not need any downloaded programs, directories or data files to run. We do not license the product by CPU or number of Universe or Unidata users. We license XLr8 Resizer by your individual workstation. We use standard Universe and Unidata utilities to resize you files. XLr8 Resizer is was built on current technology (Eclipse 3.3 or 3.4 and Java VM 1.6). If you want to stick with something that was developed many years ago, looks outdated, and is very pricey, then stay where you are. Otherwise, go with the leader in U2 tools based on Eclipse technology: U2logic. We are a "green" software product. 1) Software is only downloadable via our web site. 2) The software has not paper output, everything is displayed in Eclipse. 3) Our documentation is in PDF or Word format. 4) Payment for our software is Pay Pal which is paperless. We would recommend that you download our package and see the differences. Or at the very least, read our product information on our web site at www.u2logic.com Regards, Doug BTW: Our other plug-in's for the U2 environment are an editor, a dictionary editor, an installer, an object editor, and a Web Developer.

RE: [U2] static/dynamic file(s) opinions wanted!
All I've missed the start of this thread, so apologies to all if this has been mentioned before. On a 24x7 site, dynamic files should be the most useful (because there is no time available for resizing static files) but AFAIR beause the current load etc are held in shared memory, this prevents you simply pausing the database momentarily whilst splitting a mirror and then backing up that mirror. Unless of course the dbpause updates any open dynamic files with the the content of the shared memory stats before it exits (which would be sensible)... does anyone know whether it does?
