[U2] uvbackup and uvrestore

2013-10-07 Thread Anna
Hi, I am new here, 

abouts between one of my new tasks it is to take charge of a computer with 
Universe, with Open Suse, that I leave another company of service. 
Of universe do not know anything, for what I have seen at least safety copies 
are done in a file copia.bk. I have not even idea if other day I have to 
restore the safety copy, someone can help me. The command that does the copy 
is this: 

%uvdir %\bin\UVBACKUP-v-f-notag-l  Co %DAY % -cmdfil %Pdir %\bin\COPY\list _ 
% SAVE %.txt-s %Pdir %\bin\COPY\LOG _ % SAVE %.txt-t nul 2 nul 

thank you

Re: [U2] uvbackup and uvrestore

2013-10-07 Thread McGowan, Ian
Anna, welcome to U2 Users!  It's a little difficult to understand your 
question, don't know if google translate or someone local could help phrase it 
better?  Your English is definitely better than my Spanish though ;-)

Couple of suggestions, in order of easy - hard:

1) It's not clear what your question is - perhaps read chapter 12 of the manual 
and form some specific questions?  
https://docs.rocketsoftware.com/nxt/gateway.dll/RKB14/universe/10.3/admin.pdf 
explains some of the parameters you are seeing.
1.5) Post the entire script, not just the one line.  Is it a .bat file?
2) If you are not confident in the backups, while the system is not busy (or if 
you can safely shutdown [and startup!] uv even better) simply copy the entire 
folder that contains your universe data files somewhere safe.  This is just in 
case anything goes wrong while you are getting up to speed.  This is not the 
ideal backup method, but a partial backup is better than none at all.
3) If you have a test system, copy the backup created by the uvbackup command 
there and attempt to restore using uvrestore.  Unless you can do this, your 
backup is just theoretical - it's worthless without the ability to restore 
somewhere.

We are just going through an annual disaster recovery test, so I may be a 
little paranoid about backups right now.

Regards,
Ian

[U2] [OT] Interview Questions

2013-10-07 Thread Kevin King
This is not specifically a job posting, but I do have ads up on Monster and
LinkedIn looking for talent.

At the risk of confessing too much, I have historically been far too easy
in the interview process.  As a result, I have had some less-than-excellent
hires and spent far too much time and money trying to rescue
underperforming and/or recalcitrant staff.  Therefore, I'm planning to be
much more discriminating this time around, and am building a series of
technical questions to help quickly identify those that have the right
skills, abilities, and attitude for our team compared to those who may not.

That being said, I have a question for the group:

Technical questions aside, what are the best interview questions you've
asked, been asked, or otherwise heard about that help differentiate between
the candidates worthy of additional consideration vs. those that are not?

Each company is different of course, but that aside I'm hoping to get some
ideas to cut to the heart of the matter as quickly and efficiently as
possible, both for the sake of the interviewer and the interviewee.  (My
technical interview is bordering on 200 questions and growing at an
alarming pace.) If there were a half dozen questions to open with that
could help set the stage for what may be to come, that could be very
beneficial for everyone in this mix.

Also, in an effort to keep the OT to a minimum, please don't ask me
questions about the positions here.  If you have questions, email me
directly or through LinkedIn.  I'd prefer to keep this topic on point of
your recommended interview questions.

I've just tried this at home and was able to get to everything I could see.

What browser are you using? Sending in screenshots of your page to 
u2as...@rs.com might help us track down what issue you have.

Re: [U2] [OT] Interview Questions

2013-10-07 Thread Doug Chanco
Questions I have been asked (and my favorites)

Tell me a solution to get the last day of a given month (pick)

Now give me the same solution in another language

Whats an object and give me an example

Whats your favorite shell and why?

Whats a netmask and default gateway

Whats one tech you do not know but would like to learn and why?

Why use stored procedures?

What does oconv mcp do?

Favorite version of unix and why?

Cannot access server x (network) walk me through what steps  you would do to 
figure out the issue

What are some commands you use in the pick debugger

Favorite version of pick and why?

What are sone ways for non pick programs to communicate with a pick system
(Follow up)
Which one do you prefer and why?

I know sone of these are not pick related but they are my favorite questions 
asked me in various interviews and (in my humble opinion) the days of just a 
pick programmer are slowly going away companies (again IMHO) are looking for 
more than just knowing pick basic

Anyway here is my contribution feel free to use all/none or any combination in 
between and good luck in your hiring
