Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
We use Samba to move 1000's of interface transaction files across from Windows servers to a HP-UX UniVerse server daily. The Windows server creates the file, and UV on the HP-UX box picks them up. The directories and files are create on the HP-UX server through a Samba share. Haven't tried it the other way where the directories/files actually live on Windows. HTH Robert F.

Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
Samba should be fine for this then... Create a directory type file in UD and setup Samba to share this. Map it on the Windows server. Define some process @ whatever time you like to copy/write the files on the Windows server. If they need to be processed somehow on the UD side, create a task that is either time dependent, cyclical or signaled by Windows server to kick off. Easy Peasy and it's been rock solid for us. We write a transaction file on the Windows server to a Samba share on the HP box. Then write a 0 byte file telling that UV watches for, letting it know it's available for processing.

Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
I have done things from Window to UNIX with Samba before. As you say, we do it all the time. The issue I have is I need my Unix box to grab the data from Windows and copy it from Windows to Unix. The copy needs to be run from Unix, not Windows. THAT is the problem I am having. Mapping a network drive in Windows will be great from Windows, but will not solve the problem of issuing the command from Unix (unless I am completely missing the point).

Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
Let me give a full picture. I have a program on our Unix box running UniData. This program processes a BUNCH of nightly stuff including the launching of our PDF invoices which are built on a Windows server (I have no control of that). When the job finishes, one of the things I need to do is verify that the PDFs were in fact created and then send them out to a 3rd party source to be printed, stuffed and mailed. I thought it would be easier to copy the PDFs back to a temp folder on the Unix box, tar them and send them to the 3rd party processing company. I understand that I could have a job on the Windows box do this part, but then I would need some mechanism to fire off the script on the WIndows box. Then, when the Windows script is done, it would need some way to fire off/release the continuation of the tasks on the Unix box. Timing is important here. It may seem clumsy to pull the PDFs back on the Unix box, but I was trying to keep all the control in one place and not try to chain things between difference boxes and hope I got my timings right. Fewer points of failure and no real timing issues. STOP LAUGHING AT ME!

Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
From: Israel, John R. I need to copy PDFs from a Windows server into a UNIX dir (where UniData lives). Can I map a VOC pointer? Other thoughts? Running HPUX, UniData 7.2.1. I'm not as familiar with internals in UV/UD as with other platforms so this may not apply - and I'm eager to understand exactly how these systems Do work in this regard... If you create a Voc pointer and use Copy, I believe the DBMS would pull data through the virtual machine, drawing it into the DBMS from the source, applying EOL/AM conversions, then writing it back out to the target with similar character translation. That can be hugely painful. On other platforms that have a virtual machine environment (blob), overflow frames, etc, that would also mean pulling lots of frames from overflow and then just releasing them. Again, a major performance issue at the time of operation, and a source of rapid overflow fragmentation if done too often. I agree with the suggestions by others to use FTP, etc, and for the reason stated here I would strongly discourage using DBMS verbs for OS-level file transfers. Now, can someone familiar with UV and UD internals confirm or correct that? Thanks. T ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
If I better understand your process I suggest: Create a Unidata directory file: CREATE-FILE DIR filename Share that resulting Unix directory as per suggestions with samba. Map a windows drive to said directory. --- Have the pdf-create process write the pdf files directly to the share drive. Presto: the pdf are in the Unix directory. They are visible as record IDs by listing the Unidata DIR filename. Since they are already in a Unix directory go ahead and do you tar magic... If you want to read them directly into UNIBASIC I would open the DIR file with a OPENSEQ for best performance.

Please please please DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT hit reply to someone else's mail and change the subject. Start a new email. The reason for this is that any decent email client will track what message replies to what, and your new message will get hidden inside a totally unrelated thread. (a) that can be very annoying (I hate it), and (b) it makes your messages a nightmare to track down if someone wants to find them later. Which could hurt you if they've suddenly thought of an answer for you ... Cheers, Wol ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] VOC Pointer
How about using scp with public/private key authentication running from a unix cron to scp from the windows host to a dir on the unix host? Requires ssh installed on both hosts. I've also installed Cygwin on a windows host in the past and used that for the ssh/scp component as you get a nice unix flavour when you ssh in remotely. Alternatively as someone has already said try using smbmount to mount a windows share on a unix dir and use unix cp or mv. Requires samba installed on your HPUX host and that install must have the smbmount (or equivalent) utility. You could also use ftp to fetch the files from the windows server. Requires ftp server installed on windows host. All the above could be driven from within a UD/UV basic program.

The issue I have is I need my Unix box to grab the data from Windows and copy it from Windows to Unix. The copy needs to be run from Unix, not Windows. THAT is the problem I am having. Mapping a network drive in Windows will be great from Windows, but will not solve the problem of issuing the command from Unix (unless I am completely missing the point).

If you use the samba method... you would need: 1) Samba installed on HP-UX server running Unidata 2) Setup a share to share a directory on HP-UX 3) Map the network drive on the Windows Server 4) Just do a standard windows copy from one drive letter to the other That being said, my steps above are grossly over-simplified If you have never done a samba install on HP-UX and configuration before, this could take you several days/weeks. If its a one time deal, then the previous posters idea of ftp, is so much easier. Its been a number of years, since I put samba on HP-UX. If you can find a package that utilizes swinstall (sam) somewhere out on the web, it might make your life easier.

Can I map a VOC pointer? Can the unix machine see a windows share? You MAY be able to put a network path in field 2 of a voc entry, but by default, if UD recognises a network path it'll probably refuse to access it. And is copying PDFs (binary files) using the UD command line a good idea? Other thoughts? Put samba on the HPUX box, share your HPUX directory, and copy the pdfs from Windows to nix. Or if you need to do it from the nix end, share your Windows directory and use smbmount (probably part of samba, I'm not quite sure what's happened to it) to make the windows share look like a nix directory where you can use nix commands to copy.

Or, instead of SAMBA on the HP-UX system, you could have an NFS share on the Windows box - Windows Server 2008 has Microsoft NFS Services for Windows and there are several freeware / shareware / commercial NFS clients for Windows.
