Re: [U2] [OT] My XML is Chinese!?!
I suspect I know what is happening, though I can't tell you WHY. The view source function is using an encoding that doesn't match your actual file. For example the view source may think its using UTF-16 for some reason, but since its really using UTF-8 the characters are all mangled. Its just a guess. I would recommend saving the file to disk and the use another editor like notepad++ which can tell you what the file encoding is. This is likely just a bug in IE 11. There are so many better editors out there for xml data, I would just use one of those instead.

Re: [U2] [UV] ED PERMISSIONS subroutine
hmm.. ten doesn't seem like that much. The way you describe the problem it sounds like a directory-level performance issue, i.e. its scanning directories in the filesystem and there is some directory with a very large number of entries -- far larger than it should be. I would typically guess PH or COMO might have a large number of entries, but then again not sure why STATUS function would go after those. If this was Linux or Unix, what I would do to figure this out is to put a truss / strace on the uvsh process, and use the option to show timestamps on the function calls. You'd then be able to see which OS level operation was actually consuming the time. Usually that will be a dead give away as to where the problem is. I'm not sure how to accomplish the equivalent of this on Windows platforms. I did a quick search on the internet and I came up with a sysinternals tool called Process Monitor. While I can say that I've used many of the sysinternals tools in the past and had success, I've never done this particular type of tracing on windows so I don't know how to give you specific instructions. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx *Aaron Titus* Senior Software Engineer F.W.

Re: [U2] Universe Configuration --
I wouldn't be concerned about the default value being too high. The main reason to modify the tunables is to increase them when you are hitting a limit. Years ago, when kernels had very little shared memory in their out-of-the-box configuration, the tunables were set quite low so that Universe would function after installation. With decent sized concurrent users (or lots of phantoms) it would frequently need to be increased. The defaults now are more reasonable. smat -a will show all the lock tables; with that you can see where you are at a given point in time. Increase it if you are reaching the limit but there is no reason to lower them if you are not. *Aaron Titus* Senior Software Engineer F.W.

Re: [U2] SAN?
With Universe, its a different IO pattern than most system administrators are familiar with, especially when you put an entire account on non-local storage. In particular things like the PH folder (from phantoms) and COMO files from traces. Files are frequently opened and closed, created and deleted. These operations are far more expensive on non-local storage. File locking is particularly problematic on NFS. The pattern may vary considerably based on what your application code actually does. I would highly recommend using analysis tools to take a DETAILED picture of what your IO pattern looks like today, and then show it to the vendor of your SAN and make sure its being tuned properly to handle it. When I say detailed, what I mean is looking at all of the metrics like frequency of operations (open,close,write,delete), the latency of those operations, disk queue length, etc and not just the relative amount of read/write. The most common cause of poor disk performance is taking too simplistic of a view when setting requirements. This is especially true in shared environments. While shared often is cheaper and easier to maintain, this is frequently accompanied by decreased performance when the applications that are sharing the storage have substantially different IO patterns. *Aaron Titus* Senior Software Engineer F.W.

(For Universe) there is the obvious tweak of allowing direct access to NFS, and depending on the type of SAN, there are probably some mount options to optimize the throughput. It also helps to have a fair amount of memory for file caching, but it works great and provides many important advantages. A couple of caveats: Do not allow access to snapshots through the same NFS mount as the primary data. For NetApps, at least, the snapshot has the same inode as the live data file, so the snapshot tree must be mounted as a separate device to avoid confusing (Universe) with conflicting file headers and data. NFS mounts work fine, as long as access to a particular directory tree is managed by a single data server. Oracle supports this same configuration, though I do not think that Rocket has much experience with it. Although difficult, it is possible to install Universe a SAN, and then run it on a VM, which means that you can snapshot almost all of the UV environment at once!

Re: [U2] How do I get the U2 Metadata Manager to work
Hi Dan, With respect to BDT version, I installed it a month or two ago, and recently applied an update (mine shows version 3.0.6) but note that in the text description it still says March 2012 as the date. Can we assume that 3.0.6 is the current version or did we miss something? Also, when using libraries like UDO for example, the syntax highlighting flags unassigned variable warnings; is there a way to teach it to avoid this? -Aaron *Aaron Titus* Senior Software Engineer F.W.

Still a hassle and I would prefer if they would just get rid of that 'feature'. I also noticed that unassigned variable error that pops up for all functions including CALL that return a new variable. Some people may regard assigning a value before you use a function as good coding standard, I don't see the point, though. I haven't tried this in anger, but I recall that BDT treats all files as data files and you can edit data as well. Maybe this is a feature they could add to keep Dict files and hashed files separate so you don't have to look for the BP within 1000 data files every time. I have been using an external editor (mv developer) for several years now. I always save the program to disk, open it with ED, add a blank line somewhere and file it with FIBC. That takes care of PRC. Locking works when you open a program externally, so the only chance that someone could snatch the program ab incorporate it into another project is in that short period between saving in the external editor and opening it with ED on the UD server for the first time. Since I am the only UD programmer in the company it is virtually impossible that will ever happen. Well, and as long as you have OS.ED you can bypass PRC anyway. OK, if you NEVER EVER fix data with ED then you could probably remove it, but who would voluntarily block the only fire escape? We have a really old version of PRC (3.9) and I can't make a business case to invest in new software. There are other tools like mv.SSIS that I'd rather get first. Especially since tools like Rocket's Metadata Manager don't seem to work or I am too stupid to install them properly. I managed to get at least VSG to work on one SQL Server 2008 box, but that is a really primitive tool and I hate it. And I am still looking for a way to read data from a relational database in a Basic program.

That seems to be the only way to make sure I have the current version. Currently, BDT is sort of working with PRC but it isn't honoring file ownership so I'm unable to let the programmers use BDT. You do need to get some programs from Susan for things to work as I have it now. I'm told the latest version of PRC supports BDT. We are currently testing the new version of PRC but I haven't had an opportunity to try BDT on this version.. As far as false errors, the latest version of BDT is greatly improved. However, I have noticed couple of false errors: 1) if the numeric subroutine label does not have a : BDT doesn't recognize the label (like 99*). 2) LOCATE(J,ORIG.PH,2;XXXPOS) THEN FOUND=1 ELSE FOUND=0 , BDT will report that XXXPOS was never assigned a value. There are other instances of this type of problem. One thing I wish I could do is edit records in hashed files, but I don't see how to accomplish this.

Re: [U2] Help needed..
I don't think you should be using OSOPEN. This is for block IO. Aren't you reading a sequential file one line a t a time? *Aaron Titus* Senior Software Engineer F.W.

Reading it in, PICK will cleanly distinguish one as a line delimiter, but you will still have the extra (unwanted) character at the end of ROW.

Hi, Personally, I would use OPENSEQ and READSEQ. Each READSEQ would read the next field in the record. The file needs to be a type 1 or type 19 for OPENSEQ. An example of this is: OPENSEQ FILE.NAME2, KEY.TXT TO SOURCE.FN ELSE STOP 'Unable to open ':KEY.TXT LOOP READSEQ ROW FROM SOURCE.FN ELSE EXIT ROW=CONVERT(CHAR(9),ATFM,ROW) WRITE ROW TO F.XXX,KEY REPEAT If the file isn't a type 1 or 19 then use the REMOVE function on the internal array. It is very fast. An example is: READ TXT.REC FROM F., KEY.TXT TXT.REC=TXT.REC LOOP REMOVE ROW FROM TXT.REC SETTING POS UNTIL ROW='' AND POS=0 ROW=CONVERT(CHAR(9),ATFM,ROW) WRITE ROW TO F.XXX,KEY REPEAT If you need to reprocess the array then add TXT.REC=TXT.REC and start the process again. The reason is that assigning the array to itself will reset the internal pointer REMOVE uses to keep track of where it is. One caveat, REMOVE goes to the next delimiter (field, value, subvalue or text mark) so you need to know the data you are working with.
