Re: [U2] UniVerse On RedHat?
Hi Bill Just to add my twopence worth:- 1 RedHat is excellent but it's best to use the Enterprise version or you may run into problems (ran out of inodes on the normal version) 2 It's always best to re-compile and re-catalog anyway. Also, you will need to fnuxi the files beforehand. 3 Went from HP to RedHat and the main problems we had were in the System Builder application. 4 See 1 above 5 Never tried, not supported by U2 6 Loads, also lots of things to do before migrating 7 Let me have an e-mail address and when I get home tonight I'll send you a check sheet of things to do to ease migration Bill Brutzman-2 wrote: 0.

[U2] Index based on an I desc of TRANS data
I just created an Index on a fairly large file based on an I Desc. The IDESC is combination of Concatenating 5 TRANS()'d fields. After the index was built, it works greatbut just curious, Will the index get updated automatically, when the source file's data changes? (remember, the index is based on TRANS'd data), Or will I need to periodically rebuild the index, which in itself wouldn't be an issue as the source file doesn't change very often. This is on UV.

Re: [U2] Index based on an I desc of TRANS data
It will not get updated automatically. That would be magic. For that to happen the index must be based entirely on the contents of the record and/or record id. Things like that I would tend to build the index on the key to the TRANS'd data, and maybe have another index on the field in the secondary file. An invoice file with a field that shows the customer name for example. You could index the customer name in the customer file, the customer key in the invoice file. Find the list of customer keys for a customer name, and use that to get a list of invoice records using the customer keys. But if you've got, for example, an index based on the words in the record, and you have a list of words you want to ignore (not build an index for) stored in another file - that would be a case where the source doesn't change very often and you would want to bring the system down to rebuild the index. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2010 3:47 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Index based on an I desc of TRANS data I just created an Index on a fairly large file based on an I Desc.

Re: [U2] Index based on an I desc of TRANS data
There is only 1 program that updates the source file, I was going to add an execute to the end of it, to build the index when it's done. No programs access the source file during the course of a normal day, so if an exclusive lock gets created on it, it won't hold any other processes up. In this case, it would be fine. Also considering the phantom that runs the program runs at 5:00am and no one is on the system anyway. I was concerned that having the index on the other file (which trans to the source file) would slow down the program that updates the source file, but since it doesn't that's even better.

Re: [U2] Upgrading and Migrating from Unix to Windows
Thanks for that, I hadn't actually downloaded it at that point and I didn't see it elsewhere on their web site. My main concern is how the existing data and programs written in Unibasic actually handle the move from a Unix environment to a Windows one. I know there is at least one call to a Unix function that will fail, but I'm not sure about generally how interoperable the two environments are. Has anyone tried anything like this? If so, what are the most likely/obvious pitfalls?

Re: [U2] Reading a Unix file from another machine.
You could try converting the ^M (carriage return) into a linefeed using the command: cat master | tr \r \n | new.master And cating the file might not be a true indication of your ability to open and read the file within UV/UD. The vt100 view indicates that the content is legible. The vt220 emulation is corrupting the *view* of the content and is not a true reflection of the contents. Converting the carriage return to a linefeed will make the file more usable in unix.

Re: [U2] Upgrading and Migrating from Unix to Windows
Hi Richard, We have both a Relational Data Access Server and a Direct Data Access Server that are written in fairly generic PICK/BASIC but with specific subroutines to do platform-specific stuff. We run on pretty well all MV platforms including Unidata, Universe, PI/Open and even some very old Universe versions, both on Windows and *nix (Unidata on Dec Vax, even.) We do this with a single code base for all platforms. Until you decide that you want to know a specific process number, work with pipes and O/S files and other things like that, the BASIC code is not only interoperable, but if the version is even remotely close, you don't normally have to even compile. That said, I'd compile just to be safe. Check your code for any place where you run a command shell program or call an O/S specific function. Also check for any pattern in a string that contains forward slashes. Your peripherals are a different matter altogether...

If each byte starts with 8 or higher then the file is 7 bit with parity on and no wonder it looks weird! You'll need to get it converted to parity off - dead easy to say but I don't know how to string the unix utilities together to make it work for you. But you'd just need to AND each byte with 0x7f.

Re: [U2] Index based on an I desc of TRANS data
George: The answer, in short, is /*no*/! You'll have to periodically rebuild the index. In our application we have a single address book. An entry could be associated with an A/R customer, an A/P vendor, a P/R employee, a property's unit, and a few other entity type records. When the user modifies the name, the address book's index is updated immediately but the subsidiary table's index is not (e.g. the A/R customer). We have a utility that runs upon every login to reindex the subsidiary tables that have been changed. This rebuilding is frequent enough for our purposes but you'll have to decide what frequency is appropriate for your environment. We tried to create a trigger routine that works but kept running into a deadly-embrace situation, so we gave up (at least I did). Maybe someone else has something like this working they'd like to share with all of us.

George Gallen said the following on 11/9/2010 12:47 PM: I just created an Index on a fairly large file based on an I Desc. The IDESC is combination of Concatenating 5 TRANS()'d fields. After the index was built, it works greatbut just curious, Will the index get updated automatically, when the source file's data changes? (remember, the index is based on TRANS'd data), Or will I need to periodically rebuild the index, which in itself wouldn't be an issue as the source file doesn't change very often. This is on UV.

Re: [U2] Reading a Unix file from another machine.
Hi Roy, What you need to do is to add a line feed LF char(10) to your carriage returns char(13). This can either be done at unix level by cat file | tr '\l' '\l\015' file2 (15 being the octal equivalent of 13) or programatically by CHANGE(RECORD,CHAR(13),CHAR(10):CHAR(13),-1) I don't have an AIX machine in front of me at the moment so I may not be 100% correct on the syntax but that shout give you something to play around with.
