Re: [U2] Regarding: Unidata dictionaries

[Boydell, Stuart]

Dave is correct, this technique will work with a DIALOG.DEFN. You can embed any 
SB+ expression within () in a DISP string (DISP 4 aka DIALOG or any of the 
other types 1-9) and the processor will evaluate the expression before 
displaying the value (and without interpreting backslashes).

/DIALOG.DEFN (Tools,Other,Dialog Box Defs) is the way to set up a dialog 
definition. This will allow you to use DISP 4, 'DIALOG_ID' (where DIALOG_ID is 
the name of your definition) in a process.

DISP 4, ... is same as: CALL SB.DISP(4,'DIALOG_ID') or EXEC DIALOG,DIALOG_ID or 
even CALL SB.PROCESS('DIALOG,DIALOG_ID') depending if your calling context is a 
PROCESS or SUBROUTINE.

Have a look at the SB+ Ref PDF - page 4-60 for more information.

Create a dialog definition and use an expression to contain your message.
Put your text in @VALUE.  Use the "DIALOG" process to display the definition.  
It should work fine.

what is happening to see if there is an answer.

We are using Unidata 7.1 and SB+ 5.3. I have written a Basic program to extract 
a file and when it finishes I will either display the error message or if it 
was successful I want to print a message that tells them that they can find 
their file at C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\filename.xml. The method that I use for 
displaying the messages is CALL SB.DISP(4,"message here"). When I run the job 
it does not display the message but if I remove the '\' characters it works 
fine. Is there some way to get this message to display without removing the '\' 
characters?

I find it very interesting that I have never seen this problem before and then 
the very next day after reading the article by Dan McGrath it happens to me.

How easy is it to get back to any particular date? Disk space is cheap
(though network bandwidth isn't, if big files get modified). Not saying
my way is better, but it gives the appearance of multiple full backups,
while only doing an incremental copy.

 http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/

 Multiple full backups would only occur if you used a backup method to 
backup the mirror,
(excepting the directory which holds the incremental files).

 To restore a file, you can specify an exact date/time or an estimated date 
(ie. 3d ago)
 It also has a pruning utility if you need to free up disk space, by 
deleteing older incrmental info

 It actually does a fairly good job at only saving the changes, even to big 
files.
 

>

Yup - on the main server itself, I'd probably run mirrored disks, break
the mirror to do the backup, and then resync the mirror.

  In my case, I don't "break" the mirror, as it's not a real time mirror, 
it's an every 20 minute
  mirror. When I run my tape backup on the mirror, I disable the every 20 
minute run
  until it's done, then restart the mirroring.

>
> The mirror can be on the same system, SAN or another network

Hmmm... If you can network the mirror, could you mirror it onto that
self-same linux box?

Mirror the live disk onto the linux box, break the mirror to do a local
(probably cross-drive) backup, then resume the mirror. Rinse, repeat, etc.

Yup, you can mirror onto itself. Just like tar, you can specify directories 
to not mirror
like the directory that holds the mirror, and anything else you don't want 
mirrored.

>

Do you really want to spend loads of money on a Windows system just to
provide a cheap back-up server? And if the main server is hp-ux, it's
easier to keep everything within the nix family.

Personally, I'd prefer *nix to *nix, but I thought the OP was going from 
Windows UV
to *nix UV.

Won't work. Unfortunately there's no way, I know of, to escape this.
However, c:/windows/temp *will* actually open the correct location if you were 
to type it into windows explorer address bar or the Run prompt.
... or you could use an appropriate Windows integration TU process to open the

I just had a situation where a program was printing an error message and 
waiting for the user to respond by pressing Enter. But, the program was being 
executed by another program using the CAPTURING option.

Is there any way someone knows of to tell if the CAPTURING option is on?
If so, I can write the error message to a log file instead of displaying it and 
waiting for a response.

I looked at all the SYSTEM(xx) options and do not see anything there.

Create a dialog definition and use an expression to contain your message.

How easy is it to get back to any particular date? Disk space is cheap
(though network bandwidth isn't, if big files get modified). Not saying
my way is better, but it gives the appearance of multiple full backups,
while only doing an incremental copy.

Yup - on the main server itself, I'd probably run mirrored disks, break
the mirror to do the backup, and then resync the mirror.

Hmmm... If you can network the mirror, could you mirror it onto that
self-same linux box?

Mirror the live disk onto the linux box, break the mirror to do a local
(probably cross-drive) backup, then resume the mirror. Rinse, repeat, etc.

Do you really want to spend loads of money on a Windows system just to
provide a cheap back-up server? And if the main server is hp-ux, it's
easier to keep everything within the nix family.

Re: [U2] Is there any way to tell if I am in an EXECUTE level and CAPTURING is turned on?

universe or unidata? I don't have a full answer either way, but I seem to 
recall that unidata holds CAPTURING output in a temporary file. Maybe that file 
can be checked for.

Re: [U2] Can of worms FILE.STATUS

[Daniel McGrath]

Note, this would be assuming 1 record per group, which would me you should be 
selecting the next valid modulo above the expected number of records.

If you keep the same modulo, you have roughly 6.5 records per group. That would 
mean use 1 STD DEV the block size should be > 6000 (aka, 8kb). 2 STD DEV would 
put your block size at > 7839 (still 8kb)

Feel free to correct me, as I might have completely lost the plot.

Well, the average record size is about 640 Bytes and according to the Standard

Since it's a dynamic file the modulo probably doesn't matter that much - but

Re: [U2] UV Unix File Recovery

[George Gallen]

We use rdiff-backup for onsite backups, it creates a mirror and keeps 
differential for
Restoring to specific backup date images (although that is a file by file).

We run our nightly backups off the mirror

And update the mirror every 20 minutes - except while the backup runs

The mirror can be on the same system, SAN or another network

Rdiff-backup I believe will work between a linux box and windows

George

I've thought a little bit more about my idea ...

First, rsync to get a clean backup.

Then run a script over the backup to create a dated backup, use ln so
it's the same file in both the live and dated backup - saves disk space.

Then your daily backup consists of rsync'ing the master backup directory
- you need to tell rsync to delete and recreate rather than modify any
changed files.

Then rerun your ln script to create a new dated backup.

Hey Presto - unchanged files don't take up space with multiple copies,
you have a complete backup history going back however long you like, and
if you have to you can free space by deleting old backups.

The other thing on your backup system - consider using snapshots and
btrfs, but that imho is a lot messier.

Cheers,
Wol

It was a Company in Portland Oregon, here where I live.  The "Shane
ompany", a jeweler.  Used to run a lot of local radio ads, then the ads
uddenly stopped.   Turns out they went bankrupt.  In bankruptcy
roceedings they mainly blamed the costs incurred by the SAP system
rought in to replace their in-house customized Universe-based system.
he SAP implementation was supposed to cost $8 million, but costs were
ear $19 million when the company went out of business.  I the
ankruptcy proceedings the company mainly blamed the SAP implementation.
fter bankruptcy they resurfaced, which we know as the radio ads came
ack on a few months ago after being off about a year.  However - the
ds have stopped again.  Perhaps they are just saving advertising
ollars for now? Or is it worse?
But what really burns me up:  I did a google search on this very thing 2
ays ago and came across a blogger who was defending SAP, his deal was
hat the install failure was Shane Company's upper management's fault.
!!!  If any company agrees to pay $8 MILLION dollars for a system,
he vendor had better provide all the help needed to get the system up
nd running successfully or that vendor has failed. 
How about you MV providers, do you ever help the customers do an
nstallation?  Or do you take the money and let 'em do the best they
an?  And if they fail, it's their fault??
I'm just rehashing what I've read.  I'd really like to hear from one of
he programmers or analysts that worked for the Shane Company when all
his happened.  Are you out there?
An even more damaging a story, if possible, is the implementation of SAP
o serve the City of Portland (once again, my home city, but this time
t involves my tax dollars).  I don't know too many details except that
t was supposed to unify 19 separate systems into one, and
mplementation was to cost about $20 million (already outrageous), but
ne attempt under an outside SAP implementation specialist failed, a
econd implementer hired from way out of town also failed, finally SAP
hemselves came in (where were they all this time?) and it seems finally
ot the job done.  Cost at this point: almost FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
actually about 48.6 million, but what's an extra 1.4 million dollars?)
 recently asked a high-up analyst in the police department how the SAP
mplementation was doing, and they said, "Oh - OK I guess - there are
till some problems."

This could be your problem - if you didn't binary it to the PC, it could be 
corrupt on the PC - in which case you're in trouble...

Have you got a backup from the hp box? Do you have the year-end file still 
sitting somewhere on the hp box?

Disk is cheap nowadays. If you're worried about expensive hp disks, just get a 
cheap pc, stuff a couple of terabyte disks in it, and run linux on it. Back up 
the hp box over the network with rsync or something cleverer that'll do 
incremental snapshots.

[U2] Is there any way to tell if I am in an EXECUTE level and CAPTURING is turned on?

[Doug Farmer]

I just had a situation where a program was printing an error message and
waiting for the user to respond by pressing Enter. But, the program was
being executed by another program using the CAPTURING option.

Is there any way someone knows of to tell if the CAPTURING option is on?
If so, I can write the error message to a log file instead of displaying
it and waiting for a response.

I looked at all the SYSTEM(xx) options and do not see anything there.

Thanks in Advance

Doug

Re: [U2] UV Unix File Recovery

[George Gallen]

What I've done is zip up the entire directory on the windows machine.
Then unzip the file on my linux machine

Create an F pointer in UV to the new location

Delete any index files, as they are tied to the original location in windows, 
you
  Can modify the link to where to go, but I offhand forget how to do that.

I also always chmod -R 777 the directory once it's unzipped to make sure
There are no permissions issues.
