[U2] question(s)
Hey all, I am back to re tooling my mind from jBASE to Universe (although one question is not vendor specific) 1. In universe how can I tell what type of pick file I am looking at (type 2,3,4,5,6, etc ) 2. I am getting a few (very few) PRINTER MEMORY SEGMENT REMOVED errors in root's emails but the few I am getting (roughly 3 a day) I cannot seem to figure out what's causing them. All our root cron jobs are either using uvcron or PHANTOM to start the universe program. 3. does anyone have a suggestion on RANDOMLY (or as random as possible) a way to SELECT a file? I am trying to get @ 500 RANDOM records from a file with 850,000 items. I have some ideas such as selecting the entire file and then every x records do some math operation and if even use this record but since I am a pup compared to some of you I have been doing pick forever vets out there I thought I would throw this out and see what comes back. The keys look like 51037517 51037516 15312939 51037518 15312936 51037519 51037512 51037513 51037515 14137791 51037514 51037510 Thanks everyone! dougc --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] test for a unix file?
I have not had time to test this with lots of files BUT you can try it (I think it will be much faster than what your doing in your code BUT I may be wrong) anyway what I did was create a simple shell script that you call with a FULLY pathed file name (unless you are in the directory that you want to check) and it will return a 1 if it exists or a 0 if it does not Below is the shell script *#!/usr/bin/ksh if (test -e $1) then echo '1' else echo '0' fi* *exit end shell script and below is a sample run $ ./testit ./testit1 == this file does NOT exist 0 $ ./testit ./testit == this file DOES exist 1 now all you have to in your basic code is CMD = 'sh -c testit ':FILE.TO.TEST:'' EXECUTE CMD CAPTURING RESULTS one thing you may have to do is remove any unix line feeds before you compare the results, if RESULTS = 1 does not match and you know the file exists IF RESULTS = 1 THEN PRINT 'file exists ' END ELSE PRINT ' file does not exist s' END well you get the idea, I think it will be much faster hope that helps dougc * ps you may have to modify the first line of the shell script if your ksh is in a different location (which ksh will tell you where its located) Scott Ballinger wrote: I have a standard subroutine that I use in UV BASIC when I need to check for the existence (or non-existance) of a unix file: FILE.TEST.SUB 0001 SUB(FILENAME,ANS) 0002 * return ans = 1 if filename exists 0003 * redirect to bit bucket to suppress 'not on file' msg 0004 * filename includes full path to file 0005 EXECUTE SH -c 'ls -d :FILENAME: 2 /dev/null' CAPTURING XXX 0006 0007 FN = FILENAME 0008 CONVERT \ TO IN FN ;* in case we escaped any special characters 0009 0010 IF XXX1 EQ FN THEN ANS = 1 ELSE ANS = 0 0011 0012 RETURN 0013 It works fine, but seems pretty slow, particularly if I am churning though thousands of tests (like from a big select list).

Re: [U2] version control
Hello, can I get a copy I am definitely interested as we too are moving to subversion thanks dougc Edward Brown wrote: Hello, Have followed this thread with some interest as we've recently moved to Subversion. This hosts VB6 and unidata source code / dicts / various control data for a fairly large set of products. Subversion has met our expectations; we'd dabbled with sourcesafe before but never really had a revision backup strategy. In general, we've found it best to (sorry for stating the obvious with some of these!): - Have as much data in directory files as possible, adding a 'normal' unidata file to subversion does not allow for proper control over each item within that file - Settle on the repository layout at the start - in our case, taking (mostly enforced) advice from subversion users elsewhere in the company and adapting to our local needs. We have separate repositories for each product group with top level 'branches', 'tags' 'trunk' nodes. Bug fixes go into the 'branches' area, each bug being a copy of the trunk. Tags contains snapshots of the trunk at release points. - Branches - Bug1 - (structure) - Bug2 - (structure) - Trunk - (structure) Within (structure) we hold essentially a small unidata account, we develop in another account with pointers back to the subversioned area. This allows a mixture of content kept under source control plus data local settings that we'd not want cluttering up subversion. Lastly, when switching branches it can take a long time to recompile / recatalog the unibasic code; I've written a utility that detects changes by comparing object source date and just compiles what's needed. For us, it reduces a 5 - 10 minute task down to just a few seconds, and is quick enough to use regularly during development if several programs are being edited. I can make the source available if anyone's interested?

Re: [U2] Unidata @LOGNAME
At 08:12 AM 4/17/2008, you wrote:
Under Unidata 7.1.x on Solaris (9/10) we're seeing @LOGNAME truncated to 8
characters. Others on different OSes are not seeing this behavior. Does
anyone know if this is a Unidata setting or how Unidata is interacting with a
system call (eg: and therefor cannot be changed)?
Sorry I am a little late in replying. Here is a bit of information I
was able to gather from a IBM engineer some time ago when we
encountered problems with the value returned as well.
@LOGNAME is implemented as a global variable for the udt process. It returns
the same value in both ECL and UniBasic. And it is implemented the same on
all Unix platforms.
@LOGNAME is set by calling cuserid(LOGNAME). However, we have implemented
our own cuserid()function since 08/08/94.
static int U_myuidflag = 0;
static char U_myuidbuf[256] = {0};
char *cuserid(buffer)
d_char buffer[];
{
int uid;
char *p;
struct passwd *pw;
if (U_myuidflag == 0) {
if ((p = getlogin()) == (char *) 0 || p[0] == '\0') {
uid = getuid();
pw = getpwuid(uid);
if (pw != (struct passwd *) 0)
p = pw-pw_name;
else
p = (char *) 0;
}
if (p != (char *) 0)
strcpy(U_myuidbuf, p);
else
U_myuidbuf[0] = '\0';
U_myuidflag = 1;
}
if (buffer != (char *) 0) {
strcpy(buffer, U_myuidbuf);
return (buffer);
}
else {
return (U_myuidbuf);
}
}
Here is output from man page aboput getlogin:
DESCRIPTION
The getlogin() function returns a pointer to the login name
as found in /var/adm/utmp. It may be used in conjunction
with getpwnam(3C) to locate the correct password file entry
when the same user ID is shared by several login names.
If getlogin() is called within a process that is not
attached to a terminal, it returns a null pointer. The
correct procedure for determining the login name is to call
cuserid(3S), or to call getlogin() and if it fails to call
getpwuid(3C)
BTW, the implmentation on NT is different and it is much more complex to
describe here.
HTH,

[U2] passing file pointers?
Hey all, In universe 10.1 how can I verify that a file pointer passed via a subroutine param is valid? I have a subroutine that is called with several file pointers but it is possible to be called without opening a file and the subroutine would check if the file pointer is empty and if so open the file. The problem is that my check IF F.PTR = '' THEN Is erroring out with a invalid data type error message when the file pointer is passed in (instead of being null). I know that I can make all the calling programs open the needed files BEFORE calling the subroutine BUT if its possible to somehow have the subroutine check and open it if its (empty the file pointer), I would prefer to do that. Thoughts/suggestions welcome Thanks! dougc --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] Record Locking Problems
From the universe documentation Description Use RECORDLOCK statements to acquire a record lock on a record without reading the record. Description Use the RECORDLOCKED function to return the status of a record lock. I too may be missing something but why get a lock on a record without reading the record and why check if a record is locked before trying to read/lock it when READU does all that for you? it seems to me that the code could be simplified by using a READU which tests if the record is locked and locks it for you if its not.

Re: [U2] locking code question
we COULD use source safe as Israel pointed if source code is kept in unix directories they can be samba mounted on a PC and then checked into and out of source safe. The main issue I am trying to get resolved is to lock the record at the pick level , in case someone does nto check out a code and then tries to edit it when another developer already has it checked out, since most of our developers use a pick aware editor as long as the record was locked at the pick level, they would get a warning message, teh question is whats the best way to lock program x at the pick level? 1. I could AE/ED and lock it that way (programtically of course) but then how do I exit gracefully? 2. I could READU the item in a program and keep that program running forever (at least until the developer checks it back in then the program could terminate) 3. If I could somehow manage to modify the lock table to say that this item is locked and once checked in modify the lock table to release the lock (this is my preferred solution but I am not sure if its doable or if I have the skill to modify the locking table without corrupting it) 4. other iseas/suggestions? thanks all dougc Israel, John R. wrote: Yes and no.

hmmm this is a very interesting idea .. thank you very much, its not as elegant as the path command but I think it will do what I need but if I understand it correctly there 2 things that have to be done 1. logic added to each program for this tester subroutine 2. the program would have to have a different name from the original program while step one would be a lot of work, I can see it working pretty well once the logic is in most of the programs thanks! dougc Israel, John R. wrote: Write a simple tester subroutine that passes the name of the original/standard program. This subroutine reads a control record that uses your user_id:*CODETESTING as the key (thus unique to each user). If not found (which would be the case for most users), return the original program name. If found, do a LOCATE in F1 for the original program name. If not found, return the original program name. If the original program name IS found in F1, return the optional program name from the associated position in F2 (if F2 is missing, return the original pgm just in case). F1 = multi-valued list of original pgms F2 = multi-valued list of test pgms Use the @ logic for doing a dynamic call to the returned pgm name. Granted, this is a bit of work up front, but once you have this tester subroutine written and the coded added to your program(s), you could leave this test in place anywhere you want. Add this logic as you need it. You just disable it by removing the program names from F1/F2. If this control record ever becomes empty, you could even delete it. Optionally, you could do this test at login time and save the info in some common named variable(s). You just need to log out/in to reset this stuff. I have used something like this in the past and it worked VERY well. By using these control records, you can even give selected other users access to this program for testing before rolling it out to the rest of the world. Just remember to delete the stuff from the control record(s) once you switch it over.

Re: [U2] group locks and user nbr's
Thanks for the response! I was more interested in matching a user to a lock than the file (I have a program that I can call that will return the file name if you pass it a inode), what I was hoping for was a better way of figuring out the user, instead of doing the following: 1. convert the inode into a file name 2. do a fuser -u filename 3. parse the results of 2 to get the user name while thats certainly do able I was hoping for a more elegant pick solution. sorry for not including this earlier but we are on aix 5.2 and universe 10.1 But I am still a little confused on what would set a group lock (I understand the record locks) and why a group lock would need to be set and does it lock the entire file? If we have a pick file called CONTROL and there is a group lock on the CONTROL file what I am curious about would be: 1. why would a group lock be set? 2. does it lock the ENTIRE file? 3. figuring out who set/has the group lock 4. how would it be set (I did not see any reference in the basic manual about setting group locks) 5. best way to release the lock thanks again dougc Brian Leach wrote: Doug To take the first part of your question: The lock table is used for application locks like READU and READL locks, and also for synchronisation locks. The RD and WR locks are synchronisation locks that control access to a group in a file during a read or write operation. these should be transitory only lasting milliseconds unless your system is stuffed or badly maintained. The IN locks are information locks: these are not real locks but point to the existence of a record lock somewhere in that group, to make for quicker checking. The record locks are those from Basic. As for matching up with inodes that has been discussed here various times before. If you are on UNIX you can use the ls -lsi command to list the inodes associated with files if you have a rough idea where it is. You can use find to locate the file with that inode. Under Windows inodes don't exist, they are just emulated by UniVerse, so no help there. Doing an ACCOUNT.FILE.STATS and a LIST.FILE.STATS will show you, but that does take time: something to run overnight. That user number could be a background process or a process that has died part way through a read leaving a lock behind.

Group locks protect the internal pointers within the file. A user program cannot directly get or release group locks but they come and go automatically under the covers. Group locks are of three types: WR (write): very much like a READU, this allows a user exclusive access to the group to perform an update. It is held for a brief moment while UV passes data to Unix to write. RD (read): similar to a READL, any number of users can hold the same RD lock at one time but no other user can own the WR lock while this is active. RD locks are held while reading a group from the file. IN (informational): Not really a lock at all. This is simply a counter of how many record locks there are in the group and is used to improve performance. Note that there is an oddity in UV that I have never understood properly. The query processor holds an RD lock when it is on the Press any key to continue prompt. If someone tries to write the the locked group, their process will hang until the user moves on to the next page. To partially ease this situation, the query processor will release the RD lock after five minutes (configurable with PAKTIME) and get it again when continuing from a long wait. Quite why it holds a lock that it can get back anyway is a mystery to me. Yes, high user numbers are phantom processes. one last question is there an easier way than finding out the file associated with the inode and then doing a fuser on that file to find out what is accessing the file? If you routinely use ACCOUNT.FILE.STATS to analyse your system, this records inode numbers in its data file and is quite a useful reference. I have sometimes used a simple program that scans the VOC and builds a database of file inode values.

[U2] locking question
hey all, has anybody run across/seen an issue where a process sets a lock via READU and then when it tries to write back the record cannot because the record is locked but somehow lost the fact that the process trying to write the record is the process that created the lock? I am not sure if this is even possible but we at are at a loss as to whats causing this lockup (which does not occur regularly but enough that its causing us concerns with our busy season coming around) We had a lock up last night that LIST.READU EVERY showed that that a process was holding a lock and that the same process was failing on a write (in a program) and 'stuck' (yes we have old old old old old code that does not believe in a failure clause or the handling of a write failure). Once I cleared the lock the process continued on its merry way ... Now the obvious things I checked 1. that there were no other users logged in as that particular user (yes they sometimes login multiple times with the same user but we are forcing them to change that) 2. the PID's were indeed the same system info: aix 5.2.6 RELLEVEL 001 X 002 10.1.7 003 PICK 004 PICK.FORMAT 005 10.1.7 any thoughts/suggestions/ideas/etc .. are welcomed! thanks everyone dougc --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] uniobjects help needed!
Hello all, I was joking about the voodoo chants when I first posted but several days later and little progress made I am now seriously willing to consider any chants anyone knows. on a more serious note does anyone know if it's possible to talk directly to a uvrpc daemon? (uniobjects) I know you can with smtp and other socket programs if you know the language/syntax, so I think it should be possible with uvrpc (uniobjects). Any suggestions/ideas on how (if possible) to do this would be appreciated! What we are seeing are users (who are ALL using the EXACT same VB 6 program) having problems with writes and receiving back corrupted data (to a universe database using uniobjects). We have turned on logging in uniobjects but I am having some trouble reading the log files (its hard to tell if the corruption is coming to uniobjects or from universe). We have tested the universe programs that the VB app. calls and they work exactly as they should. We have tested the VB 6 apps and they too appear to be working as expected (but obviously something is wrong)/ We have tested/checked/rebooted the entire network (to include the aix machine). What is throwing me is that if the basic program does not find a match to whatever was passed to it, it returns null but sometimes we get back garbage to the VB app, which to me means that the basic program got a valid value and returned a valid response that somewhere in the chain got corrupted. We have even done an iptrace on the aix box to see what it gets/sends as well as on the windows PC(s) but sadly I am not able to fully comprehend what I am seeing. If anyone is willing (and this is asking a lot, so please forgive me) to look at an iptrace I would be incredibly grateful!

So I thought I would throw this out to youll who vast knowledge may hold the key to the answers we seek! The fact that in the past 3 days I have works close to 60 hours is a testimony to the amount of effort we have been putting in to try and solve this problem. Basically what we are seeing that is Run-TIme error '-2147417848 (80010108)': Method 'Read' of object 'IUniFileEx' Failed So any suggestions/thoughts/ideas/crystal balls/magic spells/voodoo chants are welcomed! This, I think, will fall into the Voodoo Chant school of hopeful wishing ... but the message number looks vaguely familiar to me. Do you know which line of your code is returning your error? What happens if the code just retries the read? The problem I'm thinking of that we had was our program talking to Word. Word would go to sleep and you'd get an error looking a bit like that. Retry, Word would have woken up, and it was fine 2nd time. Try trapping the error and retrying, and see what happens... Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W. Youngman [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'Yings, yow graley yin!

Re: [U2] uniobjects help needed!
responses below It sounds like nothing has changed. From what you're posted so far. Is that correct? pretty much, we added etherchannel to the aix system but its been running fine for several months, since the issue started we have changed our app to add better logging but no major changes to the code I guess you've confirmed this is not file corrupt issue with the UV files being accessed? yes we have scanned all our files and have not found an issue It appears your VB application is read/writing directly to UV files directly and this is where you're having issues? Is it corrupting your UV file in the process? at one point we were seeing corrupt data but that turns out to be related to the 10.2 uniobjects dll we installed You vaguely mention you have rebooted your AIX server. Is that correct? yes twice Do you use dynamic files? yes, lots of em What version of AIX, UV and UniDK are using? aix = 5.2.6 uv = 10.1 unidk = 3.5.2 It seems like you've already checked the UniObjects and Unirpcd logs - have you check the UV errlog too? Anything interesting in that? are they different? I have tons of uvapi.log_pid which are uniobjects logs is it possible to log the uvrpc daemon? Do you have separate server for testing/development or DR that you can: 1) test this same client software your UV application/UniObjects? 2) restore (using your backups of your DB, source object code + *very importantly* the UV home directory) your production data to and re-test the UniObjects-based app? we have tested against our dev system and seem to get the same error at Objective: determine if the issue is 1) client application is at fault, regardless of the target server it is communicating with or 2) database or application issue (rather than a client one). Other things to try: 1) write a simple UniObjects app (Win32 or Java versions) to read/write to the same file 2) a *completely clean* install the VB6/UniObjects app. This should be a clean PC which has never ever had the client application or UniObjects installed before. If you site has a standard desktop configuration, then you should be using that or perhaps use a PC that is non-standard. Have you rolled a new firewall or VPN client or similar network-invasive type application recently? we completely reloaded a term server that we have users login to (they run the app from here) and are still seeing the issue(s) Objective: 1) determine if it is UniObjects issue or not 2) determine if the problem is desktop PC or not (the latter by using a non-standard build PC). we have tried restoring PC(s) to a date BEFORE we started having problems (using windows system restore) and still they are failing I have seen strange things happen with the U2 API before. So capturing the output from your UniObject sessions is a good one. If you have the code to your VB application - you can get it to turn on a COMO file. Given it a unique name for each session or user-ID (maybe the UNIX process ID too - eg., myuserid-date-PID.como) I will recommand that we try this If your VB code is calling (directly or indirectly or dependent on some initialisation code) host-based BASIC subroutines (or indeed any cataloged referenced program) check if these have changed and re-catalog them all, regardless. I have seen go away after re-cataloging code - both at TCL invocation level and via the APIs. Good luck! thanks! dougc --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

[U2] uniobjects
does anyone know if its possible to run the uvrpc deamon (uniobjects) from the command line? It appears that since we cannot find the problem we are going to rewrite our order entry program in .net from vb6, apparently from some initial testing that the .net version fo the program works whereas the vb6 version is still having problems. Also is anyone aware of any ways to see what a deamon (in particular uvrpc) is doing? We have talked to IBM and apparently the best suggestion we got from them was that the issue was being caused by the network card in the systems (which have been the same for years) so I am not even sure where that idea came from. is anyone aware of any differences that would cause code written in .net to work versus code written in vb6 (I assume they are using different dll's anything on the server side)? Also does the uvrpc have different daemons for .net and non .net? thanks everyone dougc --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] can anyone shed any light on parts of this core file?
However just to say I have had experience of strange errors in uniobjects in the past on heavily used systems, this was because the network card was set to 100/full duplex, and the switch port to auto negotiate, so they negotiated to half duplex, we set the switch to full duplex and of course it was faster, but we also lost the errors - may be something to investigate. Thanks for the suggestion, one question though did you notice any kind of network errors that pointed you in that direction? dougc --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] Unidata to Universe port
I would stick to your core reason for a topic of discussion first before discussing all the differences and what's involved in migrating. We have had somewhat limited exposure trying to implement NLS for a few of our end users and were not successful in the past. The product may have been enhanced since then but I would be curious to hear from anyone who has successfully implemented this within UniVerse. The reason I bring this up is this seems to be the key motivating factor and if this is taken away, the point becomes mute. Regards, Doug At 08:41 PM 8/14/2008, you wrote: The reason we're even considering this is because of IBM's decision not to implement NLS in UniData, at least not right away.

[U2] uniobjects - kinda fixed
Well, we have basically gone full circle .. while we did fix a lot of issues with our VB6 app and did improve it quite a bit, we were still having issues. One of the developers here rolled back from the 2006 uniobjects (windows) dll and now things are back to working how they were before this all started. We even tested old versions of the VB6 app that 2 weeks ago would not work with the 2000 uniobjects dll and now they are working just fine. I am totally stumped as to what happened, all I can say is that now things are basically back to where they were several weeks ago with 1. the same PC 2. same application 3. same dll's that just a few weeks ago would not work. I know what you'll are all thinking and I completely agree and that is SOMETHING had to have changed. But I work in universe and aix and do some networking stuff and nothing changed at these points. We have a cisco guys and he swears that nothing changed on his cisco stuff and we have support techs that swear nothing changed on the PC's, this reminds me of a saying I once heard when you are SURE that everything in your program works correctly and your program does NOT work one thing you can be SURE of is that something you are SURE of is wrong anyway in trying to see what could of possibly caused this problem I am trying to get what changed in the iniobjects dll between the 2000 version and teh 2006 version (back when all this started upgrading to 2006 fixed a lot of the issues where teh application would not start and kept crashing) and now downgrading to the 2000 dll seems to have fixed 99% of our problems ...

One of the developers here rolled back from the 2006 uniobjects (windows) dll and now things are back to working how they were before this all started. We even tested old versions of the VB6 app that 2 weeks ago would not work with the 2000 uniobjects dll and now they are working just fine. I am totally stumped as to what happened, all I can say is that now things are basically back to where they were several weeks ago with 1. the same PC 2. same application 3. same dll's that just a few weeks ago would not work. I know what you'll are all thinking and I completely agree and that is SOMETHING had to have changed. But I work in universe and aix and do some networking stuff and nothing changed at these points.

[U2] UniObjects / UNIRPCD problems on Linux
Good Morning, I am a bit out of my element here as I usually only work on HP UNIX boxes. I have a problem with a Linux box that was recently updated to release 7.1.13 of UniData. Since the upgrade, connections to the machine using UniObjects are aborting. I think I traced this down to a possible issue with the environment variables in the UniObjects session. I am missing the environment setting for UDTBIN and UDTPATH. The scenario is this. Using a UniObjects connection, a subroutine is run on the host. This subroutine launches a phantom process that runs in sleep cycles, waking up to process data as needed. The UniObjects connection is closed (it is only used to launch the phantom). The phantom inherits the environment from the UniObjects connection. One of the first things the phantom does is to call the UniData subroutine WW.SB.RB. The subroutine never returns and the phantom stops. My guess is the subroutine is aborting because of a missing UDTBIN or UDTPATH variable. (I wrote the environment variables to a debug file prior to calling the subroutine). This all worked till the upgrade to UniData 7.1.13. So I think something got mashed in the startup process and the environment variables are not setup when UNIRPCD is started. Any clues as to where I should start looking?

Re: [U2] universe sockets
Wow great points . see below for my answers dougc A full response to your inquiry really depends on the answer to another question, which is why are you doing this? We want to explore other connection options that are not tied to uniobjects so that if we decide to switch from universe to say database x we can do so easier. I would also say that (in this economy) money is probably an issue as well, we have looked at several of the pick option available and while they work they also cost and its tough to sell management on a new way of connecting when uniobjects has done a decent job. Also we want to see if a socket call would be faster than a similar uniobjects one. Sockets are geeky, fun, and challenging, and quite satisfying when they work correctly, but for the most part working at that tier is hardly cost-effective given the plethora of software available to do communications at a higher level. This is a good point BUT several things: 1. are you not limited to what they provide, so if I wanted to send/receive data differently than what they provide I cannot. 2. price 3. speed cost, would not doing a socket be faster than using some high level communications system? Do you want to do sockets for fun or because your business requires communications? Are you trying to build a better mousetrap or trying to save money? I'd say experiment with building a better mousetrap and give us the ability to easier move from universe, should the situation arise (I personally hope not as I like pick) You're going to spend a few weeks on this, now or over time. Is your time really worth less than the free tools from IBM, or commercial tools that only cost a couple hundred bucks? This is a great point that should we decide to go this route but I have already mentioned this and I actually gave an estimate of a few months not weeks (but then again I am nowhere near as good at this as apparently you are). BUT I am curious what products are available for a few hundred bucks? I would certainly be willing to check them out BUT its hard to sell our budget committee when we have a product that work (uniobjects) or can write our own (sockets) Also, if you decide to change employers (or your clients change vendors), who is going to get stuck maintaining all of the custom code? I suppose another developer which is why if we go this route we are going to have extensive documentation If I were an IT director I would not allow someone to write a custom socket interface internally for production use. Another good point but I pride myself on writing well documented, well written code but certainly something to keep in mind (your points for buying versus writing a comm.

Having said that I would appreciate any advice on how to at least make a good attempt at this, so that even if it gets scratched I can continue to play around with this at home (I personally find it interesting). Right now my biggest problem is how to make my app. nonblocking from blocking, I can create a blocked socket and read/write to it just fine but when I try to make it nonblocking it never connecting to socket request. My code basically is in a loop trying to read from a socket using readsocket and I understand why it works blocked but when I create the socket as unblocked I get the following error when I call acceptconnection Connection ACCEPT Status = 12/The socket is marked as nonblocking and the requested operation would block. The acceptionconnection code is below (where MODE = 2 nonblocking) RESULT=acceptConnection(SOCKETHANDLE2,MODE,TIMEOUT,INADDR,INNAME,SOCKETHANDLE3) I would appreciate any advice/suggestion/code examples/etc, if your willing to share anything (or help) lets take it off the list so as not to bother others (d...@chancofamily.com is my email) thanks dougc --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

My only comment on this is don't go writing socket code just for this - just write a wrapper round the uniobjects code - so your code does not open a uniobjects connection and do read/write/select/run programs, it uses a class that you have written that in turn does this - pass a param to the class called DB and set it to uv - then when you want to switch to some other DB add the connectivity code to your class and away you go - basically you are building a DAL (Data access layer) upon which your BLL (business logic layer) works - the bll does not care what the DB is or how it communicates that is the job of your DAL.

Re: [U2] universe sockets
I am sure people are bored with all this socket talk, can I email you off list because I am missing something between your web page documentation and what you said below dougc Rex Gozar wrote: On windows, u2pipe uses wininetd; on unix or linux it can be used with either inetd or xinetd (with xinetd you can limit the number of simultaneous connections; pending requests get queued.) I'm not sure I understand your question, but wininetd/inetd/xinetd can listen on any port you specify, receiving raw requests from any system and sending back any kind of response data. So the requester (i.e. client) can be a browser, web server, or ANY other program that can interact with sockets. While you can write a socket listener in Universe basic, it can't be completely fault tolerant; the process can block or hang. Wininetd/u2pipe sidesteps the issue by spawning a new process for each individual request. rex doug chanco wrote: is it tied to wininetd/the client?

Re: [U2] UV to SAP migration disaster
I worked for a company that bought another company to replace an existing product strictly because it has a pretty interface by management. The amazing thing was that they got several developers and support personall together to go over the system and see how it compares to ours (which was good) but that consisted of talking to the sales lmanager ady and hearing her tell us oh yes it does that ... amazingly we were not allocated time to actually see the system in action but rather to ask question if it could do x after purchasing the system, we had a meeting with the president of the company and I asked how come we did not just put a GUI on our current system and was told we know you'll can do it BUT we cannot wait the 2 years it will take to develop well we rolled out the system to our first customer and a week later they rolled back to the old system because while it had a pretty interface it lacked over 70% of the functionality that the old green screen system had and 3 years later when I left the company we were still fixing it to make it as functional as the old system it was replacing.

[U2] Question on UniVerse VOC record for CREATE.FILE
I am mainly a UniData person, so UniVerse is a bit foreign to me. I am running UniVerse on a Windows Platform. Using the CREATE.FILE command, I created a file with a long name (15 characters) with my standard VOC pointer, and the VOC pointer in the UV\NEWAC,PICK file. Using the CREATE.FILE verb in my VOC, I am able to create the file correctly. Using the verb as it is on the NEWAC,PICK file, it truncates the file name. This, even though the LONGNAMES is on. See the examples at the end of the E mail. My VOC entry looks like AE VOC CREATE.FILE Top of CREATE.FILE in VOC, 6 lines, 40 characters. *--: L22 001: V 002: create.file 003: E 004: VF 005: LONGNAMES 006: PICK.FORMAT Bottom. *--: The NEWACC\PICK file verb looks like this (After I copy it to my VOC and set LONGNAMES) AE VOC PICK-CREATE-FILE Top of CREATE.FILE in VOC, 6 lines, 40 characters. *--: L22 001: V 002: create.file 003: E 004: FG 005: LONGNAMES 006: PICK.FORMAT Bottom. *--: The only difference is attribute 4 which has an FG instead of VF in it. I have no idea what FG vs VF is. You may wonder why I am asking? I have an old application that creates files specifically using the PICK version, no matter what the VOC version is. I don't know why, is there a difference? The only difference I know of is that LONGNAMES do not seem to work under the PICK version. Any ideas?
