RE: [U2] Universe/UniObjects and Visual Studio

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Thanks
This link was very helpful.  I did finally figure it out and the
examples list exactly what I ended up doing.  The tutorial was excellent
and put me in the right direction.  This is also what I was looking for
in respect to java programming.  I was hoping to find a very simple data
entry program to get me going.  
Thanks
Anthony

there is a tutorial on using UniObjects with VB Express on the U2UG
Knowledge Base.

Check out : www.mvopen.org/cms and click the Knowledge Base link.

Regards,

Hi guys,

I am messing with Visual Basic Express edition.  I was hoping to use
UniObjects against my Universe Database.  The examples in the UniObjects
Developers Guide are a little outdated.  How do I get the UniObjects to
appear in the toolbar (if you can do this) ? They refer to Sub
Form_Load, which I have seen in older versions of VB, but not VB 2005.
Basically what I am looking for is a 'quick fix' for the 5 minute
program example in the Developers Guide that has already taken me beyond
that time frame.

Thanks
Anthony

RE: [U2] How much RAM is too much

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Charles,

We are running an IBM xSeries with dual Xeons 2.5ghz and 5gb memory with
105 users all Universe (Linux) real time system, lots of files(type30),
lots of activity and our response time is exceptional.  So, all I can
say is that you probably need less than that.  Actually, these days you
can get a system similar to this for peanuts if you don't need to get
fancy with the storage system.

RE: [U2] Universe/UniObjects and Visual Studio

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Dave,
I was able to get the COM assembly in the solution explorer.  I am now
looking at the .Net.  How do I go about getting the .Net assembly in the
'game'.  What I have tried is to go into the control panel on the PC and
go under admin, .Net framework and config, and tried to add.  I pointed
to the c:\ibm\unidk\uonet\bin\uodotnet.dll.  Of course Im just winging
it here.  It seemed that this made sense.  However, it does not appear
in the solutions explorer when I try yo add a .Net reference.  So, I
tried but no cigar.  What is the right way to do this ?

Hi Anthony

Whilst UniObjects works with .Net, it is a COM assembly and needs to be
loads as a Comm Component.  IBM does provide a .Net assembly for U2, and
it would be better to use that.

You can add the Com or .Net attributes through the Add references in the
Solution Explorer.

RE: [U2] OT:Employment

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

One thing I have been messing with over the last year is java.  I really
like the laguage.  I wish I knew it as well as I can bang out code in
Universe Basic.  I think it would be easier to get a job.  I havent
messd with .Net stuff.  I will probably give it a look.  I have friends
that use it.  It would be nice to see some example programs that do java
with Universe.  I get a little confused with structuring the code with
the objects.  I get caught up in the try blocks that you need for the
calls.  Anyway, does anyone have a small app that they could share.
Something like a simple data entry screen.  I learn much better from
example.  
Thanks

RE: [U2] Installing Printers on UV/AIX

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Dave,

Each printer we use is set up in the device file and the driver simply
'cat' s the file to the respective printer in the OS.  I tried to spool
something to a 'non Device file' printer and got a message 'Requested
printer does not exist.' 

To make it easy, you could simply write a quick program to accept the
printer name, file name, record name and do an EXECUTE that does an 'lp'
command.  This should do the trick nicely.  This is the approach that I
would take.  Its simple.  So you would end up with something like;

AIX.PRINT my.aix.pdf.capable.printer INVOICE.ARCIVE 10298478.pdf

Where AIX.PRINT is your program, my.aix.pdf.capable.printer is a printer
set up in aix, INVOICE.ARCHIVE is a sequential file, and 10298478.pdf is
the actual record that you want to print.

Anthony

Subject: [U2] Installing Printers on UV/AIX


One of our clients is running uniVerse 10.1.22 on AIX 5.3 using Pick
flavored accounts.

All of their printers are network (TCP/IP) printers - none are serial or
parallel.

They have installed a UVDEFAULT printer on AIX connected to an AIX print
queue.

They can print to this printer from TCL but can not SPOOL a print job to
it from a file (not the &HOLD& file) using the AT option.

1.  Can the SPOOL command see O/S level printers/queues without having
to add them to the &DEVICE& file?

2.  Do they need to add these networked printers to the &DEVICE& file so
that the SPOOL command will see them, and if so, what does that record
need to look like?

4.  Is there anything else they need to do within Universe?

4.  Do they need to install these printers differently on AIX?

As always, thanks for your assistance.

RE: [U2] [UV] SPOOLER

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

You might have to write some code to help manage this.  I remember
changing the permissions of the unix 'cancel' command so that anyone in
a group could execute it.  What I also do for these kinds of things is
to have our batch processing program do the work.  So, lets say you
would have some kind of a 'gui' front end to build the command that you
want to execute and then just hand if off to the daemon.  The daemon
would be running as root.

I should have also mentioned in my original reply, I've got a relatively
short UV basic testing program (about 80 lines) that connects to a dummy
version of the Payflow Pro web service for initial testing.  I'd be
happy to send it to you off-list if you're interested.  You'll need to
get a login and password from PayPal to actually test it out, but seeing
the UV code may give you an idea of what would be involved in
integrating it into your application.

RE: [U2] OT:Universe Credit Cards

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

It is point of sale and we accept debit cards.  We are currently on a
batch or specifically 'not host based' system.  We send a settlement
file at the end of the night.  This is not good when accepting debit
cards in general.  In the event that the batch gets clobbered, you dont
have the ability to reenter the debit cards.  If you have a host based
system then the transactions reside there and not on my machines.  I
like this better.  It off loads some responsibility (from my limited
staff) to not have these worries.

[U2] OT:Universe Credit Cards

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Hello Everyone,

I know this issue has come up before and I guess I cleaned out my office
a little too good.  I lost some responses that I had saved.  Anyway, I
am looking to possibly replace our credit card processing solution.  We
are currently using a DataCap LanTran system.  It is stand alone and for
the most part works without a problem.  However, when there is a problem
the support is the worst - the guy is excellent, but spread too thin.
Especially for a retailer who is very dependent on being able to process
credit cards.  I have seen a company mentioned before that has a set of
routines that can be called from Universe basic to process transactions.
Would someone be willing to share this again ?  Im not sure that I would
go that route, but should I consider it.  Does anyone have experience
with a good credit card solution that has rock solid 24x7 support (well,
we close at 10pm EST) ? 
Thanks

For lack of not knowing the right way.  You could do something like;
SELECT FILE
SAVE.LIST TO 2
Sometime later do
MERGE.LIST 2 UNION 2 TO 0
It should return the result of what is in select list 2.

RE: [U2][UV] Terminal Cursor Control

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

We have done a little coding for special keys.  The routine uses keyin()
and it concatenate characters until it is determined that we are done
entereing.  It compares the string with the UNIVERSE.INCLUDE MTF.INCL.H
headers file.  

I did a pretty simple version of a home grown command line.  It is very
limited.  The biggest problem that I had was to allow the users the
ability to do 'SAVE.LIST' 'GET.LIST'.  These commands were EXECUTE'd and
they didn't work like they normally would.

RE: [U2] [OT] - Texas Sales Tax

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

There are probably lots of tax packages out there to do this.  One that
I was using (on a mainframe) was Vertex.  I believe Vertex has software
and databases for this.  So, you basically call their routines with the
proper parameters and they return the tax to you.

Anthony,

If you are the client (ie contacting the bank) why are you using 
initserversocket?

Initserversocket creates a process to listen for incoming connections 
binding to one of your local IP addresses (eg 192.168.1.1 from your 
example).

To connect to the bank you need to use opensocket eg: ERR = 
OPENSOCKET("123.123.1.1", 4215, 1, 2000, SKTHDL)


HTH,


Craig

RE: [U2] Capturing not capturing...

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

If the paragraph is working, then you could always write out the VOC
record and execute it.  Im saying that not really knowing the
application.  In some programs/system I have, I have done such things.
One that comes to mind is to 'mutli thread'.  So a program will will
build a VOC record (say one to kick off a batch print of a Purchase
Order) and PHANTOM that off.  The last statement in the VOC is to DELETE
VOC THIS.RECORD.  This way we are not holding up the user on the
terminal.  Just another thought.  Oh yeah, something else.  Is PERFORM
an option.  I forget the differences between EXECUTE and PERFORM.  You
might get different results with that.

HMMM.

Seems that if you EXECUTE a paragraph with DATA, all is captured but if
you push DATA from a program, then EXECUTE, the pushed data 
   doesn't get captured, but does get accepted by the executed program.

Guess I'll have to use the @user.return.code to ferry my data and have
the program check for it, otherwise input data.

Any other Ideas?

example: (You would expect that the following program not display
anything,
  however, the DATA1 and DATA2 get displayed. Yet, if you run program 1B
  which runs the Paragraph which runs the program 2 nothing is displayed
  as expected.

PROGRAM 1A:
DATA "DATA1"
DATA "DATA2"
EXECUTE "RUN LIB PROGRAM2" CAPTURING JUNK
STOP
END

PROGRAM 1B:
EXECUTE "VOC1" CAPTURING JUNK

PROGRAM 2:
INPUT FLD1
INPUT FLD2
STOP
END

VOC1:
PA
RUN LIB PROGRAM2
DATA DATA1
DATA DATA2

Ive never done it this way.  Looking at it quick it seems that EXECUTE
would be creating a new layer and that layer is independent of the DATA
stmnts in the previous.  When I do something like this, I create a VOC
maybe like;
PA
RUN LIB programname

RE: [U2] Sockets Universe Question

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Adrian,

Thanks for the suggestions.  Ive never run nmap before, this is good to
know about.  I have discovered that I plugged the routers into the
'inside' of the firewall.  They should have been on the 'dmz' side.  So,
I have corrected that and we still have issues.  

For the time being, it appears to be a network config issue rather than
a Universe issue.  Hopefully, I will get to the 'simple' part that you
describe soon.

Thanks

I will give that a shot.  We are the client in this set up.  What should
I expect if I telnet to the banks ip with the specified port ?  I am

to help trouble shoot this as well.

Hi Anthony

Have you checked the firewall.  A quick and simple test to see if the

When  you say that you can ping the remote machine, is that from the

[U2] Universe INPUTCLEAR

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Hello All,

I have a strange situation going on with an Intermec CK30 terminal.  We
have an error message routine that clears the display, issues an
INPUTCLEAR, then displays the error message, then issues an INPUT
DUMMY,1 (press any key to continue).  This is so that the user cannot
bypass the error.

What has been happening is that the INPUTCLEAR statement seems to have
no impact on the typeahead buffer.  The error message is not displayed.
Somehow there is data in the typeahead.  The error message routine
appears to be skipped altogether.  What is happening is that the there
is still something in the typeahead when it gets to the INPUT DUMMY,1.
In effect pressing 'any key' for the user.  I changed the error message
routine to do INPUTCLEAR, INPUT DUMMY,1  , DISPLAY ERROR.MSG, INPUT
DUMMY,1.  This works and only requires one key press (even though you
all logic would make you believe it would require two).

Very strange.  Has anyone else encountered something like this.  Any
thoughts or suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

Thanks
Anthony

Marc,

Have you considered the WYSE thin clients ?  I had evaluated some about
a year ago.  I thought the software on the WYSE did have VP emulation
built in.  Of the thin clients I looked at, I also liked the linux
versions.  The one windows based thin client that I looked at from
Neoware was running windows and crashed not more than 10 minutes out of
the box.

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Hey guys,

We have a program that distributes information via various methods.  One
of which is to email the file as a PDF.  So, one of our users was on AOL
and then switched to Cox.  They read their email via the cox webmail
site on a browser.  The problem is that the attachment is coming over as
part of the message now and not as an attachment.  However, if they use
outlook as the email client, then the file is presented as an
attachment.  So, webmail client is doing something different than
outlook.  If I send an attachment to the person using outlook on my PC,
then the attachment comes thru as an attachment on the webmail client.

So, I think the problem is the way I am sending the email / attachment.
I am using the following;

uuencode MYFILE.PDF MYFILE.PDF | mail -s MYFILE.PDF -n
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

This is being done on a Linux machine and we are shelling out of
Universe to issue the command.  Any suggestions on how to make it better
?

Thanks

Anthony

RE: [U2] Login Paragraphs

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

What Ive done in my login para for our rf users (and others) is this.
Each user logs in and gets a menu such as;

IF @LOGNAME = 'anthony' THEN ANTHONY.MENU

However for rf users I do;

IF @LOGNAME = 'rfuser1' THEN GO RF.MAIN
.
.   
.
RF:MAIN:
SET.TERM.TYPE VT100CK
ETC.
GO EXIT:

You might consider doing something like this.

I'm trying to set the TIMEOUT value for a user in the LOGIN paragraph
based on the first few characters of the user ID but I don't know how to
check for partial matches. 

I'm doing:

PA
TIMEOUT 600
IF @LOGNAME = "jsmith" THEN TIMEOUT 1200
IF @LOGNAME = "psohn" THEN TIMEOUT 3600
  

I would like to add something like the below but I'm not sure of the
syntax:

IF @LOGNAME[1,2] = "rf" THEN TIMEOUT 2400

RE: [U2] Universe & Java

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

So I finally got around to downloading the U2editor plugin for Eclipse.
Im still in the learning curve for all of this.  So, I think I got
everything working and I set up my server and then account.  However,
the directory tree under the account does not show any of my files.  I
checked to see that Universe is running (Personal Edition on my laptop -
localhost). It was, and I am able to telnet.  I added an entry in
UV.ACCOUNTS called ALP.OE, which points to C:\POS\ALP.OE (my account).
I enter ALP.OE for the account when registering the account (actually
Ive tried both C:\POS\ALP.OE and ALP.OE) When I click the directory
files, I get an error window telling me to check the error log.  I have
yet to find where that file is.  

Anyway, what do you think I did wrong ?  It seems that it is not
connecting for whatever reason.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Anthony

If you are using Eclipse you can get a free plug-in Editor for Universe

[U2] Universe & Java

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

I was wondering what IDE if that folks are using to develop
Universe/Java ?  From time to time I mess around with Java, and I would
like to use something that will be able to expose all the
properties/methods of the UniObjects.  I was using Visual Cafi and I
remember that it did not do this.  I think that program is non-existent.
So, I need something else and Im looking for suggestions. 

So, all of you Java guys and gals what do you use to develop in
Universe/Java ?

RE: [U2] Terminfo help Universe

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Problem Solved;

What happened was that the terminfo.src file was corrupt.  Im not sure
how this hsppened.  I am the only one messing with things of this nature
at work.  I must have ftp'd or samba'd the file at some point and it
took a whack.  

The other thing I missed was the '-a' in the uvtic command line.  

When it didn't work I was starting to feel a little panicky.  The whole
place here is pretty much dumb terminals and there was no terminfo defs.
So, users were logging in and getting there menus and such displayed in
a way that they could not read them at all.  I started to think - this
is the time that we are going to have some kind of system deadlock and I
will have to log everyone out and then they wont be able to log back in,
because the teriminal defs are bad.

I just typed in the terminfo defs from a printout and got things bac to
what they should be.

Thanks Everyone

RE: [U2] Changes to the List

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

I am used to the changes.  I dont see a problem with it.  However, the
traffic has seemed to drop.  We could be missing out on some interesting
discussion.  The problem is that some people have a hard time adapting
to change.  I think the reply / reply to all is a nice choice to have.
Sometimes you might want the choice to reply only to an individual.  

Personally, I probably would not have changed anything unless the
problem experienced at first was a recurring.  I dont go looking for
bugs in my system if a user brings me a one time odd ball error.  I
probably would have tried to write a 'filter' that might eliminate
messages with certain info in the subject or body.  The problem that
occurred could have been eliminated by adding that subject to your
filter and those messages could have been sent to the bit bucket.

If users on my system find a way to get bad data into the files, you fix
the problem by tightening up the edits for the field entry.  I see this
stiuation as being very similar.

RE: [U2] RedHat, Universe, unlocking

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

This may be of some help.  
At one time, I needed non-root users to be able to do PORT.STATUS to see
all that was happening on the system.  Anyway, to resolve this I did
(Red Hat Linux);
 cd /usr/bin
 chmod u=rws ipcs

I believe the 'chmod' may have been done to list_readu as well.  Anyway,
that was the magic that allowed non-root users be able to issue
PORT.STATUS and get to see everything going on instead of just their own
'stuff' (default).

This may work for you.

RE: [U2] RE:Merging Unique

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Greg,
I dont believe that you can issue a unique as a parameter to the
MERGE.LIST.  You will probably have to do a SELECT after the MERGE.LIST
using a SAVING UNIQUE one more time to be sure that there arent any
dups.  If you have some time, then write a merger program that takes the
list names as parameters and a unique parameter.  Use that to do all you
merging.  The thing about merging is that if both lists arent active, it
doesnt happen.  If you write a program to do this, then you can control
it much easier.

Hey,



I want 1st say thanks for all the help in the past - it is certainly a

merge using "Union" and be guaranteed that I have not pulled in any
duplicate elements?  I know I can "SAVING UNIQUE" when constructing a

There could be lots of good reasons for files to be there if you are
running on Unix.  There could be log files for whatever, maybe the
'uvspool' directory is pointed there ?, there could be script files that
running via cron for automation. If users have your account as their
home directory, then there could be clutter from that situation.  Maybe
if you post what some of those unknown files look like, someone might be
able to identify them as such and such.  

There is the utility CLEAN.ACCOUNT that might be of some use to you.  In
any case, backup everything before you start

Good Luck

RE: [U2] Unix Security

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

It looks good as long as your users are all part of the users group.
You probably want to look at the umask options for users as part of the
login paragraph. If a user changes a record and the files becomes
theirs, then this is bad.  I had something like this happen and I had to
fix it by setting the umask in the login paragraph.  I believe this was
for type 1 files not static and dynamic.

Im not a security expert, but I dont think there are any implications
for print applications.  I would think that as long as a user can read
the file, then they could generate a report from it.  What would be more
important is if the user has rights to the spool directory and it
doesnt sound like you're changing that, but you are changing the users
group.  Are you adding users to additional group users or are you
changing the users group from test to users.  Can the users group write
to the spool directory ?  Im not sure if this matters.

When I look at this I ask myself what does this really gain you and is
it worth doing the work (although I dont know how many files you're
dealing with).  Do you have 'others' on the computer ?  Plans for
'others' ?  Are the users all in the test group already and you have to
change the group and then add all users to that group ?  If you had to
do a lot of work and there are no 'others' on the system, then the worst
you could do is maybe screw something up and stop something that once
worked from working.  Thats my thinking - if it ant broke dont fix it
and keep it simple.  If you can try all of this out on a test system.

Ive always read that when securing a system you should make it as tight
as possible and then punch holes here and there only as needed.  I find
that myself I work backwards.  I make everything 'open' so that
everything 'works' and then I go back and tighten up things.  I think
this backward approach is more difficult.  I am fortunate enough to not
have a big security problem.  Our server only runs Universe and everyone
on it has access to every file and there are no special considerations.
So, I can get away with this 'policy', but I know it isnt the best
practice.

Anthony

RE: [U2] phantom COMO file message

They are in the &PH& file.  Here is an example;

>PHANTOM COUNT CF
Phantom process started with process ID 17087.
[17087] Done: COUNT CF

1 records listed.

46180 IS THE TIME 12:49:40 AND 13913 IS THE DATE 02/02/06

Another way to track things is by doing COMO ON whatever, in each
PAragraph.  The problem with this is that each time you run the job it
will step on the last one possibly hiding errors.  Another thing to look
at is the error log for Universe.  On our system is in in
/usr/ibm/uv/errlog.  Basically the Universe home directory.  If the file
doesn't exist, then just create it and Universe will start logging to
it.

RE: [U2] Newbies need love too

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

You will probably find that it really isnt difficult to learn.  I moved
into my current job 12 years ago with absolutely no experience with
Universe (actually it was PI/Open and then we moved to Universe).  I
learned it by just reading, playing on a test account, reading source
code, and just getting thrown into the hot seat.  I had about 10 yrs
previous experience on other systems and databases before Universe.
That makes it easier.  You find that you are really doing the same thing
using different commands.  Once you are settled with things, you will
find that Universe doesnt need a lot of baby sitting.

The people on this list are a great help.  There is lots of experience
here and people are always glad to help.  Dont be afraid to ask
questions.

RE: [U2] Linux FC4 , UniVerse PE and Telnet

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Did you install telnet when you installed Fedora ?  It does not install
by default.  When you installed fedora, under the list of programs to
install there was a choice for legacy networking.  The telnet service is
in that group of choices.  So, you may have to install telnet and make
sure the service is up for run level 5.  After that, things should be
fine.  Unless, you installed the firewall and iptables and etc  You
may have other issues.  I never install the 'security stuff' (no reason
to for me).

RE: [U2] [UV] Callcenter screen pop

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Well you could do a PCPERFORM or PCGET (If I am remembering correctly)
to look in the PC for a number that is being sent by the phone system.
I would look at pressing an Fkey as a function to go out and grab the
number from the phone system.  This way it isnt so intrusive. 
We use smartterm terminal emulator here.  If I have a telnet session and
an ftp session going, then the ftp session times out it pops up in front
of everything you are doing to notify you of the ftp session time out.
This is the most annoying thing going.

I've been looking through the Accuterm scripting documentation in hopes 
of finding a way to do just that, but nothing jumps out at me.  There 
are OLE/ActiveX objects in Accuterm that allow capturing of screen data

RE: [U2] [UV] Callcenter screen pop

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Ive seen something like this when we visited a company in Florida.  They
are running a Universe system with some terminal emulation on the PC's.
What they had was a separate software package that popped up the
incomming call in a small window that they cut and pasted into the
application.  Im sure this could be automated.

Subject: [U2] [UV] Callcenter screen pop


We're looking into new call center software and trying to determine to 
what degree we can integrate incoming call handling with our UV order 
entry software.  Assuming that we've captured either a phone # via 
caller ID or a customer account number by having them key it in, does 
anyone know of a way to push this information into a green-screen UV 
application?  The call center software packages we've looked into a 
Windows based, and we use Accuterm to run our UV applications.  The only

way I can see this working is if the customer service agent is sitting 
at the appropriate order entry prompt in the UV application prior to 
answering the phone (which is acceptable), and the data is then sent to 
Accuterm (or some other terminal emulator).  Has anyone done anything 
like this?

TIA,
John

RE: [U2] Backup, dbpause & 24/7 operation

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

We are using Veritas NetBackup.  What we do is kick off the users, do a
disk to disk with Veritas, process nightly (approx 15 minutes of
exclusive system use), then allow users to login. After that we
duplicated the diskbackup to tape.

Our files that are backed up are only about 4.5gb.  So, it does go
pretty quick.  As far as people complaining, what can you say.  There
are absolutely more sophisticated ways of doing this using replication
and so forth.  The question is how much do you want to spend on this and
how much do you want complicate things ?  Sometimes you really have no
choice and you have to bit the bullet.

I say keep it simple.

RE: [U2] DCOUNT

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

This is the way we always do it. 
For associations, you might be better off creating a separate set of
subroutines that add and delete to rows of associated values.  Its just
more controlled and you dont end of with uneven columns of data.  The
system Im working was not designed this way and I was finding tables of
data within records that were uneven.  We still have a little of that
left and I plan to knock that out when we can.

Subject: [U2] DCOUNT


I'm finding that I'm doing a lot of programming for the processing
through multi-valued attributes.

I'm wondering if the method I'm using is the best way to determine the
last element.

LAST=DCOUNT(REC<15>,@VM)
FOR I=1 TO LAST
(process something)
NEXT I

There was a REMOVE thread a few months ago and I use that when I expect
that the number of elements could test the patience of the EXTRACTs.
REMOVE doesn't give you the MV counter for the associated fields by
itself. You have to manage separately and hope to keep in sync. That's
more code.

I know that in VB certain object array variables (a list box for
example) has a property for the number of elements. Is there anything in
MV that I'm not aware of for determining the last multi-value that's
easier to type than the DCOUNT expression. I'm looking at reducing my
keystrokes.

Thanks in advance.

RE: [U2] [UD] BASIC "LOCK"s

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

This is good info.
 
I did some experimenting with it and I found that on one Linux system
the loop thru the USER.INFO shows all process running and on the other
Linux system the same program shows only 'me'.  When I run this on the
Windows machine it show everything running.  So, on two machines it
contains almost the same info as PORT.STATUS and on one it doesnt.
However on that same machine that shows only 'me', a PORT.STATUS does
show everything ?

I guess when the Bishop came in, he forgot to bless one of the machines
?

[U2] Eliminating strange characters

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

I have a weird situation that I could use some help on.

I am trying to copy an account on a Linux testmachine to a Winwdows PC.
The account on the testmachine is shared via Samba.  The trouble is that
there are some files that have weird files in the directories and it
stops the copying.

For example,
There is a dictionary called D_COMMENTS.  It is a type 30 file.  If you
go into that directory in Linux and list whats there you get the
following;

[EMAIL PROTECTED] D_COMMENTS]$ ls -al
total 44
drwxrwxrwx2 root alperts  4096 Aug 13  2004 .
drwxrwxrwx  800 root alperts 24576 Dec 29 15:29 ..
-rwxrwxrwx1 root alperts  2048 Aug 13  2004  ?0
-rwxrwxrwx1 root alperts  1024 Aug 13  2004  ?1
-rwxrwxrwx1 root alperts  2048 Feb 15  2005 DATA.30
-rwxrwxrwx1 root alperts  1024 Aug 13  2004 OVER.30
-rwxrwxrwx1 root alperts 0 Aug 13  2004 .Type30
[EMAIL PROTECTED] D_COMMENTS]$

During the copy of the files from the testmachine to the PC, it aborts
when it hits the files that appear to be named ' ?0' and ' ?1'.  Those
files are actually named 'space', 'backspace', '0', and '1' or
CHAR(32):CHAR(8):CHAR(48), and CHAR(49).  I don't know how they are
getting there, but I suspect something funky going on during sombodies
ftp copy.

Anyway, how can I do a search for these 'goofy' files, so that I can
find them all and delete them all at once ?

RE: [U2] Alternate Indexes

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

You might have to do;
SET.INDEX DELIN TO NULL FORCE
CREATE.INDEX DELIN TAXNO
CREATE.INDEX DELIN LOAN.CO.NO
BUILD.INDEX DELIN ALL

I keep a VOC record updated (REBUILD.INDEX.ALL.FILES) with all our
alternate indexes and I use this to reindex the account whenever we move
the account to a test machine.  Fortunately, it doesn't take too long
(10 minutes) for all of our files so it is practical for us.

RE: [U2] [UD] BASIC "LOCK"s

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

I created a system of tracking background processes.  I have a file PID,
which tracks everything. When a phantom is launched it updates itself in
the PID file via some routines I wrote to interact with this.  I have a
command that will show the status of all things in the PID file.  When
this command runs, it simply looks at the PID of said PHANTOM and it
checks in the OS (we are on Linux) to see if it is running.  There is
more to it, but this is the basic concept.

If you use 'LOCK' command, then you would use LIST.LOCKS to see if the
semaphore is locked (we are running Universe).  So I would say that this
is really like a 'common' structure.  There are 64 locks that can be
used this way in Universe.  We use these to ensure that a particular
process is running only once.  In our use of LOCKS we would do something
like LOCK 5;do some processing; UNLOCK 5 and quit.  However, if you use
this and the PHANTOM dies I think the lock is still set.  So this isnt a
real fool proof way of doing this.  

PORT.STATUS will let you know if a PHANTOM is running, but you either
have to be root or you have to change the permissions to allow you to
see this.

We have written our own batch processing system.  For whatever reason,
the batch processor dies on occassion.  Because this happens, I have a
cron job that runs every 5 minutes to check to see if the batch
processor is running (via the PID file) and if it sees that it is not
running, it kicks it off.

Anyway, when I was struggling with a similar problem, I decided to put
together our 'PID' tracking / control system.  It seems that all the
information is there for you to determine what you need to know.
However, it isnt presented in a way that you would like it to be.  So,
you will probably have to take this and write your own 'value added' way
of presenting what it is that you need.

Since we don't have Semaphore-like COMMON structures, I was going to use
the BASIC "LOCK" to know that a Phantom was running -- the lock missing
would tell me to start the process.

HOWEVER, if the phantom 'dies' - the documentation makes it read as if
the LOCK will stay engaged -- does anyone have practical knowledge if a
phantom falling over 'implies' an ECL QUIT?

I know I could use READU, but my understanding is that BASIC LOCKs use
far fewer resources to test - and as I will add a test for the Phantom
being 'up' in several common routines, I don't want to cause extra
bottlenecks.

(I really wish we had cross-process COMMON for things like this!)

RE: [U2] UV: LIST.READU question

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Im not sure about the strings / list_readu.  I would imagine that
strings just filters our readable characters from the list_readu file
itself not the output of list_readu (unless you are piping the output).
I used to use strings on large (non text) error logs and grep for
certain data.  Sorry, but thats all I can offer on that one.  

What you have to try to do is to pinpoint the two process involved and
fix the locking strategy.  All programs should lock files in the same
'direction' and in the same 'order' For example if you are updating
lines on an order I think it is good to lock the order header first
(even if you are not updating the order header).  So once you have the
order, nobody else can touch the order or the line items, because thats
the rules.  If you dont do this, then one process could be updating the
lines and then head for the order header to update say a status field
while another process is updating the header and heading for the lines
and then you have a nice little deadlock.  This is probably a whole
'nother topic.

Yes, as was pointed out by another poster as well (BobW), we were

And thanks for telling me how the entry got there.

Using the unix 'strings' command, I see that list_readu will also output
about Active Read Waiters.  Another undocumented output...  Would these
be read deadlocks?

We see that from time to time.  However, only when we issue LIST.READU
EVERY.  It is a deadlock.  You have to find out who the two users are.
In your example, it looks like a phantom or batch process and a user on
a terminal.  You have to pick one of the two to kill in order to free up
the lock.  
We usually LOGTO UV.  Go into deadlock administration and take care of
the situation that way.

Something like the following is an idea.  This might filter a bit more
than what you want, but it is simple enough to modify.


FUNCTION CLEAN.TEXT(TEXT)
 TEXT.OUT = ''
 FOR Y = 1 TO LEN(TEXT)
TEST=SEQ(TEXT[Y,1])
IF TEST<32 OR TEST>126 THEN
  CONTINUE
END
TEXT.OUT := TEXT[Y,1]
 NEXT Y

RE: [U2] Emails into AIX

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

This software might be of interest;

http://www.ornicusa.com/products/

We use this for basically the same functionality that you might require.
However, it is done via the PC instead of the server.

The software is used in the rules part of outlook (means you have to
have a Windows PC on your network that is running Outlook).  It allows
you to receive an email and then execute a '.bat' (or whatever) process
once the email has been received.  

I use it here to update the weekly flyer on our web page
(www.alperts.com/flyers/flyer.pdf).  It puts the administration in the
hands of our advertising dept.  When they have the 'flyer' all
completed, they send it as an attachment named in a 'special' way to a
'special' email address.  This initiates a process that kicks off an ftp
session to transfer the files.

There are many possibilities using this software.  We also have a virus
checker on the PC, which we do not on our Linux server.  So, this
solution worked out very well for us

RE: [U2][UV] Aborted Shutdown

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

This usually happens when users or processes are still running.  We used
to perform a MASTER OFF ALL before shutting down Universe via the 'stop'
script and this would help most of the time.  

We are also running on RHEL 3 and I guess there is a bug there.  MASTER
OFF ALL does not work on RHEL.  It used to work on our DG/UX system.  

What we eventually did was to write our own version of MASTER OFF ALL.
It just parses the output of PORT.STATUS and does 'LO' for each process
running.  This helps with shut down.  However, there are always those
'defunct' processes that will get you now and then.

Unfortunaltely, the technical bulletin I have with the answer (for Linux
anyway) is at work and I wont be there until Monday.  The command was
chmod.  There may have been something else involved, but I know for sure
chmod was involved to set the effective user id.  Try a man page on

the same.  If you dont get a better answer (but Im sure you will) I
will forward the info on Monday.

RE: [U2] uv list_readu output

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

I believe it has to do with setting the 'sticky bit'.  If I do a list of
my list_readu I get the following;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ls -al list_readu
-rwSr-x--x1 root bin   1281596 Feb 19  2004 list_readu

The 'S' sets the effective user id as root to anyone who runs the
command.  I had the same problem.  I dont have the exact syntax for the
commands I used to make this happen.  Something like 'chmod +S
list_readu'.  Although, I sort of remember that as root the port.status
would show everything, but a non root user would show only the non root
user info.  Its been a while.  I wish I had the syntax here to share,
but I think this will at least get you on the right path.

Hi,
I have a hpux box with universe 9.6
The output from list.readu and port.status shows only 'root' in the user
name column, not the users logname. Any ideas why this might be the
case. If I log in and do a who from the command line it shows my
@logname.

Thanks in advance.

RE: [U2] User Name Change on Win XP affects Universe

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

I found the answer to my own question.

It turns out that in the control panel under administrative tasks,
computer management, there is a Local Users and Groups tab.  The users
folder contains the a listing of users in the system.  I was still set
up as 'anthony dzikiewicz' on that list.  The fullname value was
'adzikiewicz', but not the value of name.  I changed the value of name
to 'adzikiewicz' and now I am telneting to Universe as 'adzikiewicz'.

The gotcha with this is;  Although I can telnet as 'adzikiewicz' when I
do WHO it still reports me as 'anthonylaptop\anthony dzikiewicz'.  I had
to reboot the PC in order for this to clear up.  After reboot,
everything is as expected.

Seeing how long my name is to type, this is a substantial savings.  I
probably should have opted for 'tonyd' (but I really don't go by tony).

RE: [U2] User Name Change on Win XP affects Universe

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Thanks for the tip.  I don't think this is the case here.  I don't have
any network passwords stored.  I am using XP Home version on the Laptop.
So, I have limited resources to modifying these kinds of things.  All I
did was change my name in control panel.  Im not sure what Windows
really does under the hood.  When I connect to samba as 'adzikiewicz' it
works, but when I telnet to my own machine (using Universe telnet ) it
still wants me to be 'anthony dzikiewicz' and not 'adzikiewicz'.  

Normally, this wouldn't be a real issue.  I can live with logging in as
'Anthony Dzikiewicz'. However, our applications do things in the login
and on.exit paragraphs and in various applications with user name
retrieved via @LOGNAME.  When @LOGNAME = 'anthonylaptop\Anthony
Dzikiewicz' it is awkward because of the space.  Keyvalues with spaces
are awkward to deal with.

[U2] User Name Change on Win XP affects Universe

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Hey guys,

I need a little help in the Universe/Windows world.  My username on my
laptop was 'Anthony Dzikiewicz'.  I should know better than to put a
space in there, but that's how I set it up.  So, I was trying to connect
to Linux machines on the network via Samba and I was having trouble.
So, I changed the username on the laptop via the control panel.  My new
username is 'adzikiewicz'.  I am now able to connect to Linux/Samba as
adzikiewicz.  When I go to log in to Universe (via telent to local host)
on my laptop, it isnt working.  It seems that I still have to log on to
Universe as 'Anthony Dzikiewicz' (my old name) and not 'adzikiewicz' (my
new name).  Does anyone know how to fix this ?

Here are some notes I made on doing uvtic;

cd /usr/ibm/uv/terminfo
rm -rf ;*get rid of whats there now
Copy the modified terminfo.src to /usr/ibm/uv/sample   ;* this is one
big file with everything
Copy the modified terminfo file to unix /usr/share/terminfo/v/* ;* this
is the individual terminal file created via infocmp

Compile all
Linux;
tic  /usr/share/terminfo/v/vt100.src ;* or what ever terminal source
file you are dealing with

Universe;
/usr/ibm/uv/bin/uvtic -a /usr/ibm/uv/sample/terminfo.src

Restart Universe

We do something similar.  In the LOGIN para, we run a program
GET.TERM.TYPE.  This program determines the TTY and sets the terminal
characteristics.  We maintain a control file of all our terminals (term
type, baud rate, printer is attached, what digi they are plugged into,
etc...).  We use this control file for many things in our applications.

On our Adds 4000 terminal the up arrow returns SEQ(26) - 'SUB'

The sh -c "stty susp '^-'" is a good temporary solution, because it will
get things done.  Another way of doing the same thing is via the inittab
file.  For example here is a snippet of our inittab setting serial port
characteristics;

dA3:2345:once:ditty-rp /dev/ttyA15 9600 cs7 parenb -parodd -cstopb

You could put the stty attributes here as well.

Also in the users '.profile', you could also set the same
characteristics.

I would think that you should be able to set that attribute in the
terminfo (when you find out what the actual label for it is), compile it
and be done with it forever.  Make sure you change both Linux and
Universe terminfo files.

Subject: [U2] support of pterm command options under red hat linux or
better idea


I have universe 10.0 for linux.  The documentation says that under
BSD's, the 
pterm susp command is supported, but under sysV systems, the pterm susp 
command is not supported.

How would I determine for sure whether it is supported or not on my live

system?

The problem is we are running the ADDS VP emulation, (for no reason
apparent 
to me), and it sends CTRL-Z as the up arrow key.

Linux traps that command as the suspend command in either telnet or bash

before it gets sent to UV.

On this list, Ben Rosenberg said the way to fix that is to run pterm
susp off. He also mentioned another way, but that requires setting the
linux user shell 
to bash, but our software vendor wants the linux user shell set to mv.

After setting the linux user shell to mv, we can't run the linux comand:
stty 
susp "^-".

If anybody has any advice, or even pointers to specific differences
between 
the linux UV version and unix UV versions, I would greatly appreciate
it.

Thank you,

[U2] PDF Efficiency

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Hi Craig,

We are in the process of archiving our invoices.  What we do is to
create select lists for each year that we want to archive.  One list for
delivered sales and one for cancelled sales.  We have a program that we
run, which we have tailored to ask for the name of the select list to
use, how many invoices to insert per pdf, and what to name the files.  

An example of a 'run' might be a select list of 13751 records that we
break apart into 1000 invoices per pdf.  This will create roughly 14 pdf
files as follows;

-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  838683790 Oct 27 17:27 2001C10.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  838683910 Oct 27 17:31 2001C11.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  838683973 Oct 27 17:35 2001C12.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  838684078 Oct 27 17:39 2001C13.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  456176662 Oct 27 17:42 2001C14.PDF

-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  668667955 Oct 27 16:54 2001C2.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  951514139 Oct 27 16:58 2001C3.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  944474386 Oct 27 17:02 2001C4.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  944474404 Oct 27 17:06 2001C5.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  944474552 Oct 27 17:11 2001C6.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  944474342 Oct 27 17:15 2001C7.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  875157293 Oct 27 17:19 2001C8.PDF
-rw-rw-rw-1 anthony  anthony  838683793 Oct 27 17:23 2001C9.PDF

As you can see, the files are pretty large for the content of the pdf.  

Anyway, I ftp these files to my PC and bring up Acrobat 7.0 Professional
and do a tools, print production, pdf optimizer.  This utility is able
to cut down the size of the file drastically.  For example, a file of
909,425KB is shrunk to 2,714KB.  

Now, for the question.  Is there anything I can do to improve the
efficiency ?  I have a feeling it has to do with embedded fonts.  If so,
is there a way to place the embedded fonts in the file only one time per
file ?  I believe the lineart is in the file only one time.  

Any suggestions or enlightenment would be appreciated.

Thanks

RE: [U2] [UV] AIX COPY TO SAMBA DIRECTORY

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

If the SAMBA crosses the network, then I think you might run into UVNet
issues.  If it doesnt cause too much trouble, just create a type 19
file and put all the data that you want to off load there.  Then you can
archive the data at the OS level.  

I had to do something like this on a per record basis for a printing
system.  It wasnt a high volume of transactions.  What I did was to
write to the sequential file.  After every write, I called a VOC record
that moved the record at the OS level to the remote directory.  Since
this wasnt a mission critical operation, it was perfect for what needed
to be done. If this was mission critical, then UVNet is supposed to
handle locking and integrity and maybe worth looking at. 

If SAMBA is on the same machine, then just create a VOC record to point
to the file.

RE: [U2] Universe running on Linux/SuSE

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

We have been running for just over a year.  We converted from DG/UX
(intel platform).

We went from intel to intel, so we didn't have the 'endian' issues.  I
did recompile and catalog all code and recreate all indexes on our files
for safe keeping.

Printers were pretty much the same ol', same ol'  we don't do anything
complicated so it was easy.

Cron is still cron.  There was a bug in RHEL where cron had problems
with daylight savings time.  This was a big problem for us, because all
of our nightly processing depends on cron.  Im happy to say that it is
fixed.

Linux is just as stable as DG/UX.  The only thing I can comment on is
that DG/UX did not change and it was rare to get updates.  Linux is
updating all the time.  So in that respect, I guess you have more
opportunity to make thing unstable.  Don't update unless you have to.

We are running 10.1.1 and the only issue Im affected by is that you can
no longer do a MASTER OFF ALL - it doesn't work.

Anthony

Subject: [U2] Universe running on Linux/SuSE


We have a finance system with around 200 users running Universe 9.6 on
Sun Solaris OS 8. For various reasons, we are considering moving to a
Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Enterprise Linux environment. The
Universe/Linux OS release combinations we are initially considering are
as follows:

Universe 10.1.1 with RHEL V3
Universe 10.1.12 with SuSE EL

Just wondering how many of you have gone through similar Unix to Linux
OS changes? What issues should we be aware of prior to this change? More
specifically: 

- Are there issues when converting Universe data files from Unix/Solaris
OS to Linux?
- Is there difficulty getting printers to function properly on Linux?
- Are changes required to any scripts and/or cron daemons running
scripts on Linux?
- Has Linux proven to be more or less stable than Unix?
- Has anyone had success running the Universe/Linux combinations listed
above or had success running other combinations?
- Any major issues with Universe 10.1.1/10.1.12?

I apologize in advance if my questions are a bit too broad. I am simply
interested in gaining basic knowledge on the feasibility of running
Universe on Linux, and any pitfalls to be aware of. Any information
provided will prove valuable as we continue our discussions on a
possible move from Unix to Linux.

Thank you in advance for your comments!

[U2] How to Default NO.RETURN.WARN in Universe

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

If anyone knows how to do this please tell.

I have a bunch of programs that should have been written as subroutines,
but were done as functions.  In these programs, there are internal
subroutines.  So, in the program there are many RETURN statements.  When
you compile these programs you get a bunch of complaining about the
RETURN.  

I want to turn off the warnings.  I know that in each individual program
I can do this by $OPTIONS NO.RETURN.WARN.  However, I thought there
might be a way to do this globally.  I noticed in the docs that in the
BASIC VOC record, you can set field 6 to certain defaults.  It doesn't
appear that NO.RETURN.WARN is one of them.  Ours is set to
PIOPEN.FORMAT.  PIOPEN.FORMAT is a K record in the voc.  So, I know this
points somewhere that probably refers to a whole group of these $OPTIONS


If so, what is it pointing to and can I tweak this by adding
NO.RETURN.WARN to the PIOPEN.FORMAT options or is there some other way
to get this done ?

Thanks

At a company I used to work for, 'Press any key' was not sufficient.
There was so much trouble with _some_ users who were too busy scanning
barcodes to read the screen, that various 'error' conditions were set to
require input of a specific single character as recognition that the
message had been read (different error msg., different single
character).  If other inputs were given, the 'error' message simply
redisplayed (along with terminal bells).

[U2] CLEARINPUT - Universe

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

I don't know why I cant find the CLEARINPUT statement documented.  Maybe
it was a suggestion from the group way back when.  We are working on a
program that pops up error messages.  I want to be sure that the users
see this message.  What happens a lot, is that our 'speed typers' are
about 10 strokes ahead of the program.  A lot of what they do is
redundant and they arent always in the habit of paying attention to what
is on the screen.  So, I asked the programmer working on this to put a
CLEARINPUT before the pop up messages.  This way, the error message will
have a better chance of being seen.

I have used CLEARINPUT in the past and this statement is in a handful of
existing programs.  The programmer said she had never heard of this and
when she looked in the manual and HELP BASIC CLEARINPUT.  She didn't
find anything.  So, now Im wondering - how did I find out about this ?
I looked in an old (real printed and bound) BASIC manual and I didn't
find it.  I looked in the PDF BASIC manual and I didn't find it.
Actually, it is in the reserved word list.

I would assume this is still a valid command - it does compile.

Can anyone enlighten me ?  My concern is that this could be an old
command that was replaced by something new ?  I don't want to continue
to use something that might not be supported.

RE: [U2] Off-topic? Problems with DigiPortServer -> Win2003 server SP1 -> Universe

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

How many digis do you have ?  Is it all of them that are acting up ?  If
you only have one, then the possibility of a bad digi is not out of the
question.  Is something attached to the network recently that has the
same ip as the digi ?  Unplug the digi and then ping it by ip.  

I have always found digi support to be pretty decent.  Is SP1 the last
'thing' that was installed on the server ?  If so, maybe there is a
compatibility issue.  I would undo it (if that's possible and if you
don't really need it for anything else).

If the digi is bad, you can find them on ebay now for very cheap.  

It really doesn't sound like a Universe problem.

Subject: [U2] Off-topic? Problems with DigiPortServer -> Win2003 server
SP1 -> Universe


We are baffled by a problem that just came up at a customer site. They
are running Universe on Win2003 server with SP1. Have had
DigiPortServer's in place there seems like forever. The digi's where
attached to an NT4 server which we decomissioned and went to new server
running Win2003. Everything was just fine with all the dumb terminals
for the first six or more months after migrating to Win2003 server with
Universe 10.something.

Now, 'ports', dumb terminals attached to digi seem to 'hang' at random -
screen freezes - any keystrokes have no effect - Ctrl-Q doesn't free
them up (flow control is xon/xoff). But, you can send a message to any
of these hung serial ports via Universe MESSAGE command and it will
appear on the hung terminal.

Anyone have any ideas about how to troubleshoot this problem?

universe support said it isn't a universe problem

digi support has been not much help. they suggested removing sp1 from
the win2003 server, although they have no other reported problems with
win2003 sp1 and their gear.

Any ideas?

RE: [U2] How to find user ID by the USER No. returned by STATUS() function

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

What I have done is to put a program in the LOGIN and USER.EXIT that
enters/deletes all information about the user in a 'USER' file.  We also
have a sort of control file that lists terminals and their attributes,
locations, phone extension, where that terminal is etc..  When we get a
record lock, we read the USER file (key is USERNO) from that get the TTY
number and read the TTY.CONTROL.  Then we format a nice user friendly
message stating something like 'Customer Record 12345 is being locked by
Anthony Dzikiewicz at extension 123'.

Believe it or not, some users will still call me and read the message on
the screen because they don't know what to do.

Anyway, that's one way to get it done.

Hi All,
If a record is locked by a program and another program tries to obtain a
update lock on the same record then the STATUS() function returns the
user number. How can I map this user number to the user id? e.g. A
record "xyz" of "ABC123" file is locked by user id 'appsadm'. Now when
anyone tries to obtain the lock on the record "xyz" of "ABC123" file
then the STATUS() function returns user number: '1230'. How can I obtain
the user id of the user (i.e. appsadm) corresponding to the User number?
Or how can I obtain the User id without even obtaining the user number?

RE: [U2] New UV Accout VOC

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Sometimes this can be dangerous.  We had a routine to open files in a
common area.  We had a live account in one directory and a test in
another.  If you switched back and forth between live and test you were
still pointing to the same files.  We had to create a 'close files'
routine when switching back and forth.  Anyway, we no longer share test
and production on the same machine.  Equipment is so cheap these days we
bought a test server. Be careful !

RE: [U2] New UV Accout VOC






Will's answer is quite excellent but...

1.  The SandBox VOC needs to know about files.  So, I did something 
similar
like...

 SELECT MYPOINTER WITH F1 = "F"
  COPY FROM MYPOINTER TO VOC

 SELECT MYPOINTER WITH F1 = "PA"
  COPY FROM MYPOINTER TO VOC

2.  The first program that I tried ran OK.  The second and third
programs ended abnormally with 
messages like...

"Improper data type"  when trying to read a record from a file newly
defined in the SANDBOX 
VOC... like

 read R.Record from F.FileName  else  R.Record = ''

I suspect that it has to do with line three of the following...

  ED VOC FILENAME 

 1: F
 2: FILENAME
 3: D_FILENAME

3.  Thus, further commentary would be appreciated.

Bill. From your sandbox account create a Q-pointer to your production
account 
like this. Let's say the production account is called PRODUCTION ED VOC
MYPOINTER NEW ITEM TOP .I 001 Q 002 PRODUCTION 003 VOC 004 .FI
'MYPOINTER' filed

Now do this
SELECT MYPOINTER WITH F1 = "V"
963 items selected
COPY MYPOINTER
TO: (VOC

This should copy all the missing 'verbs' from PRODUCTION to SANDBOX.

Did you copy VOCLIB ?  I think that's where menus are kept, but then
again the pointer is in the VOC.  Can you do an ED VOC MAIN.MENU ?  If
not, but you can do this in the source account then it would appear that
the files didn't copy.Maybe when you LOGTO SANDBOX you arent where
you think you are.  Maybe uppercase/lowercase issue ?
Just some thoughts.

We need to setup a "Sand-Box" account for piloting.

I created an account with UV Admin.  I copied the data files (including

The command   >LOGTO SANDBOX   seems to work ok.

Upon issuing further commands from a TCL prompt, UniVerse comes back

But no, my brother and me were down at Mum's, where she had a working

to v7. I can't remember the details, but (bearing in mind it *could*
have been Office that was responsible, but highly unlikely) after that
the system was unusable. Iirc it wouldn't even boot properly.

I ended up installing W2K. And I need to go down again because that is
now doing weird and wonderful things. I really ought to work out how to
get Office to run under Wine (Mum only started using doze because she
went on a course that expected everyone to be using Office :-(

I HATE supporting doze - especially over a phone and 60 miles away! At

RE: [U2] BP file ownership problem (linux)

Sounds like you need to set UMASK in the LOGIN paragraph.  I keep things
pretty simple myself.  I keep all users in one group.  I keep the home
directory in the main account and everyone shares the same UMASK.  The only
things I lock up is the BP files, dictionaries and paragraphs in the VOC.  I
do that by pointing all paragraphs to a PROD.VOC which only I can touch.

After editing a program in BP the owner and group of the file gets changed
to user:user. This didn't use to be problem, as all programs in BP were set
to 666, but now that we have implemented a minimal level of security, the BP
programs are set to 664 with owner and group typically set to user:uv (the
programming staff has membership in the uv group). What happens is that
after user XXX edits a program, since the owner:group gets changed to
XXX:XXX no one else can update that program until either XXX or someone as
root chowns the file back to the uv group. This happens with all editors:
ED, WED, etc.  Is there a Universe setting or user setting that will prevent
changing the owner and group setting on a file after editing it? (UV 10.1.4,
RHEL 3).

RE: [U2] Custom Functions

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Something I did in some subroutines which makes them more of a multi
tasker (I-descriptors) and flexible, is to pass file variables as
parameters - when you can.  So, the subroutine would look something
like;


SUBROUTINE GET.NEXT.IJKEY(FILE.CN, ERR, F.STAT, IJKEY)

$INCLUDE HEADERS STD.EQUATES
$INCLUDE HEADERS ERRCODES.EQUATES
$INCLUDE HEADERS IM.CTRL.EQUATES
$INCLUDE SYSCOM FILEINFO.INS.IBAS
*
*THE FILE(S) MAY OR MAY NOT BE OPENED
*
*
  OPENED.CN = FALSE
  NEED.TO.OPEN = FILEINFO(FILE.CN,0)
  IF NEED.TO.OPEN = 0 THEN
 OPEN '','CN' TO FILE.CN ELSE
ERR = ERR$CODE.OPENERR
F.STAT = STATUS()
GO STOP.RUN
 END
 OPENED.CN = TRUE
  END
 
  
We are using Universe.   You never know what need you might have in the
future and this can make things much easier.  Actually, I thought 2
dynamic array params (passed and returned) and a headers file as
pointers is probably more ideal.  Then you can do any of this sort of
thing on the fly and you wouldn't have too much code to change/recompile
when needs arise.

Ouch.  Granted my function opens a file and [currently, for debug]
prints to the screen, but attempting to call it with SUBR from an
I-Descriptor caused... '25945 Bus error' and left the session
unresponsive.

Leaving aside the I-Descriptor issue for a moment...

Is there a way for it a function to "assume" that the last file opened
is the one I want to use?  I thought there might be an @FILE or
something, the way there is @ID and you can have a 'default' file for
READ.

http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TreeTraversal

I thought of opening the file in the calling program, and passing a file
handle instead of the filename.  But I need this to work when called
[indirectly] from UOJ also, and historically I've seen 'Error 30102' if
I attempt to pass file handles around in any code called from UOJ.

Advice on how to improve this would be gratefully accepted [see code in
Wiki link above].

While the first one isn't TOO bad... there's a companion function that
finds all of the children of a particular node, and it calls the first
function to look back up the tree for any child that has multiple
parents.  In that case I open the same file over, and over and over.

RE: [U2] Custom Functions

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

In a function, you would RETURN(-1).  In a subroutine, you would pass
back a variable as one of the parameters.

RESULT = '';MY.VAR='SOMETHING'
CALL MY.SUB(RESULT, MY.VAR)
IF RESULT = @TRUE  .. Whatever
.
.
SUBROUTINE MY.SUB(RESULT, MY.VAR)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
IF MY.VAR = 'SOMETHING' THEN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RETURN
END


Im not positive about this (please check), but I always considered
subroutines as being 'I-Type' capable and functions not.
So if you create a subroutine, you can also use it as an 'I-Type' in a
dictionary.  If you create a function you cannot.

This is the reason I have always used subroutines.  We find them very
handy in simple selects and reports as well as being able to be called
in programs - a multi-tasker.

As far as being expensive, I guess that is relative.  For us it is not.

I was just looking at the documentation for FUNCTION after hearing a

know about this?!  (Has this always been possible, or was it added
recently?)

We consider subroutines fairly "expensive" in terms of system resources,
and tend to just use GOSUB within most programs.  But coming from the
Java/OO world, the global variables are *killing* me.  And I'm partial
to the nested parenthesis notation as well.

Does anyone have any best practice advice or gotchas to impart?  We have
a need to find the "Ultimate Parent" in a tree of
corporation/parent/subsidiary relationships.

In particular, I might find a case where there is more than one
"Ultimate Parent" and I need to signify an error.  Do I return -1, or
set @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE to a positive number?

RE: [U2] Barcode Label print software

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Requirement 1 says generate a RFID tag.  That's something very different
from Barcodes.

Heres what we do;

We take a WYSIWYG program (Like BarOne from Zebra site - its free) and
design the labels.

We print out a 'sample' and capture the output to a file.

We take that output into our Basic code and wrap quotes around it and
replace the 'sample' data with data from our files and spool it out same
as any other report that goes out of the system.

This approach is very simple.  Also, its very easy to tie into any
shipping/receiving programs that you already have.

I think that the printer itself would be responsible to dictate what
barcodes you can cant print not the software.  Since barcoding is pretty
standard these days, that should not be a problem.  2D barcodes might
still be considered a specialty, but I don't think that's something you
would be concerned with.

Hello,

We are doing some research on label print software.  I would love to
hear some real-life testimonies from real users.  I've seen TL Ashford's
product, but it has to live on an as/400.  I'm looking for something
that will live either on our rs/6000 or a windows server.  I am
envisioning a "print-engine" that will live out on our network (or on
our Unix box), that we can send a message to (CSV, XML, whatever), and
it will take our message, map out the fields to the appropriate label
format and print the label or labels to the appropriate printer
(DATAMAX, Zebra, Printronix, etc).  

Some Requirements:

1. Generates an RFID encoded tag
2. Provides Vendor-Compliant label formats for major customers
(Wal-Mart, Target, etc) 3. WYSIWYG label design 4. Supports UPS Maxicode

Nice to have:

1. Web interface

We are finally done testing the new PDF software on Windows (thanks to
your sending the trial).  I want to install the new rev on our Linux
server.  

I wanted to run the procedure by you.  If you could check me on this I
would appreciate it.

1. Delete the current CROSSPDF account
   I tried doing a PDF.INSTALLER -U as a test and it complains and
doesn't get the job done
   So, I am opting for this instead

2. ReCreate the directory for the software (/pos/crosspdf)and create a
Universe account there

3. Create the 2 files needed PDFINST, PDFINST.O

4. Unzip the software into the respective files

5. Get into Universe, run PDF.INSTALLER

I am assuming that at this point I am done ?  We have added a file in
our main account called ADOBEFONTS, which contain some extra fonts that
we had purchased.  Do these have to be recompiled ?  If so, then my next
step would be to kick off the COMPILE.FONTS job to do that.  Now am I
done ?

Thanks

By the way, the new printer is a Xerox X4500DX.  We create the PDF's and
send directly to the printer via  'lp' command.  No converting to
postscript first.  It works very nice.

RE: [U2] Best practice for Sequential IDs using TRANSACTION START & COMMIT/ROLLBACK

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

I cant say that I have experience with this.  In our "GET.KEY" subroutines,
we do a READU, check to see if the key exists and if not, increment the
sequential key, write back to the control file and recordlocku the file we
are generating the key for (along with checking the len() of the key and
other particulars - barcoding, field widths on reports,screens, etc...)

I was thinking if you did something similar, but use a READVL then others
might not be locked out of the control file while the transaction is in
place ?  It was just a thought.  If you have a properly structured "GET.KEY"
routine and all of your programs check to see if the records exists before
writing, then this should work without stepping on existing records. 

We dont use transaction logging here, so this may make no sense at all.
Just throwing out an idea.  I dont know if READVL is allowed in a
transaction.  Maybe not, then bad idea.

I don't understand what READL buys me. (Not arguing, just looking to

I thought you need a READU in order to do the write within the transaction.
By the way, I've only been working with ISOMODE 1, if that matters.

RE: [U2] How to release locks (LIST.READU)

I dont believe LIST.LOCKS shows READ locks.  Use LIST.READU EVERY to see
all READU locks.  Two commands for two different things.  I dont know of
any commands to release READU locks.  The MASTER LOCKS command will release
the synchronization locks, but not READU.  

One thing you could do is to MASTER OFF the user.  This is not always the
best thing.  You could walk over to their terminal and back them out of what
they are doing.  You could also make use of TANDEM to take control of the
terminal and do the same thing (if you dont like walking).

If it is a deadlock, shown by LIST.READU EVERY, I always use the admin menu,
deadlock administration to take care of it.

I'm not concerned about fleshing out my little READVU SEQ.ID . . . WRITEV
SEQ.ID+1 . . .

Yes, you have to check for existing records and worry about the else
clauses, etc.. Nevermind about that.  That's for a different thread. The
point of this thread is about how to best do it when TRANSACTION START &
COMMIT are used.

One thing I would add to this is to always check to see if the key exists on
the file that you are writing to before stepping on an existing record.
Depending on how long your records live and how many characters you choose
for your sequential key, you can theroetically have dups.  We do exactly
this kind of thing to generate inventory control numbers.  We use 6 digits
for our sequential number.  So, when we hit 99 the number rolls back to
01.  Those numbers are barcoded and the space for barcodes is limited
and fixed.

For files with sequential numbers as record IDs, it is common practice to
use a control item (in dictionary or in a special control table) to get the
next sequential id counter, then write back the incremented counter ASAP so
it is available for the next process that needs to do the same.  Some
variation on this theme (probably involving a utility
subroutine):
   READVU SEQ.ID FROM ctrl.fvar, ctrl.id, n ...
   WRITEV  SEQ.ID+1 TO ctrl.fvar, ctrl.id, n
   WRITE NEW.REC TO fvar, SEQ.ID

  ===
  BUT:
  ===

If that happens inside an explicit transaction bounded by TRANSACTION START
and TRANSACTION COMMIT (or TRANSACTION ROLLBACK),  the Sequential ID control
record will not actually be written and/or released until all
updates are done/ditched during commit/rollback.   If the transaction is
extensive and involves many updates, this could be a serious bottleneck.

Making sure that you read the next sequential id as close to the moment of
executing the commit would be helpful,  but that is not always an option in
complicated transactions.

What is the best practice for handling this?  What is your experience?
Bottlenecks?

Ideally, I know what I'd prefer: I wish U2 would handle sequential ids
internally for variants of Type-2 or dynamic SEQ.NUM files.  That should
have happened a couple decades ago in PI and Pick.  But back to the real
world.  What is the best way to handle sequential IDs when using explicit
TRANSACTIONs?

Subject: [U2] Again with Setting a Network Printer in Linux


Hola all -

So, I've tried the various options outlined here & in other related 
email, but our setup is failing consistently.

What happens is this: I can setup a printer, B009A for example, in CUPS 
or as an lp printer, doesn't seem to matter. Linux (RH 3.5) printing is 
fine, test are all ok & lp from the bash line are good as well, output 
is dandy. When printed from the TCL prompt like this:

SP-ASSIGN F24 (and the printer B009A has form 24 loaded up) COPY CRIT
PTEST (P

I get good output. But when I try to print from within local PICK 
programs, which work fine on our 
hopefully-soon-to-be-replaced-if-I-can-fix-this-issue Irix system, 
nothing, they disappear entirely. My spooler log shows:

P Print PR24 2 528 UniVerse 24 06/07/2005 18:49:51

lpstat is clear, but no output. The only exception to this is when I 
have the printer setup as a RAW printer, in which case I do get output 
but it is incomplete -- a few boxes are drawn & a small amount of text 
is output at the top of the page.

My programmer assures me he's doing nothing odd with the printing, and I

believe him (can post some code here if that will help, I need to find 
the explicit printing code first) but damned if I can think of anything 
else going on. Again, all jobs are properly logged in my spooler log 
files but no output.

ANY hints/thoughts/ideas greatly appreciated.

RE: [U2] [UV] To Cron or Not To Cron?

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Dont forget to check 'at' jobs as well as cron.  I dont use those, but I
dont think they show up in cron.  I would think there is a command that you
could issue using 'watch' that would show processes and i/o.  You might be
able to put together a small script to run overnight and collect data.  That
would show you whats going on.  I can't think of what command you would
'watch' (ps, iostat, etc.. I dont know what shows process names.  If I can
think of something I will post it.

RE: [U2] Tax calculating routine

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

Calculation updates - yes

This exapmle probably doesnt affect your type of business.  In Mass (and
maybe Rhode Island this year) there ia a tax free day in August.  Where you
can purchase 'some' items completely free of tax.  So, if you need a big
screen tv this is the time to buy, but not a boat or a car - and ONLY if it
is paid in full - lots of other rules.

I wonder if that is built into vertex ?

Subject: RE: [U2] Tax calculating routine


The tax calculations themselves are a bit challenging, but not exactly
rocket science.  I've done tax calculations for US, Canada, and at least a
dozen other countries, and can tell you this: There are two issues that make
Vertex a valuable solution:

1) Calculation Updates: Governmental authorities can change their tax
calculation methods at will and unless you're on the notify list for every
taxing authority in North America, you'll be out of compliance almost all
the time.

2) Data Updates: Tax rates change more frequently than tax calculation
methods, but the same rules apply.  Unless you're on the notify list, you'll
be out of compliance.

These are the two things that a product like Vertex offers that you will
find difficult to get anywhere else.  So it comes down to how compliant you
want to be.  If "mostly compliant" is an option, then you certainly could
roll your own.

Hi:
 
Does anyone have access to or knowledge of a routine for calculating sales
tax within the 48 states and the Provincial Sales / GST tax for Canada?  We
have looked at Vertex and while it is very powerful it is very expensive.
We would like one that is more reasonably priced.  We do not need the tax
form preparation or record keeping modules.
 
We are a manufacture with facilities in OK, TX, NV and ON in Canada. We are
running UniVerse 10.1.7 on AIX 5.2.5.  This is a very old legacy system
originally created in the mid eighties and bruised and abused every since.
 
Thanks for any help in advance.

RE: [U2] Dynamic File Performance

[Anthony Dzikiewicz]

What kind of hardware is it running on ? What OS ?

Here's my performance issue story.

I thought I was having issues myself with dynamic files.  We had switched
over to Linux about 6 months ago.  Things were going fine until I started to
run our 'purges'.  They would take the system down to its knees.

Anyway, I finally found out that the problem was some Qlogic HBA's that we
have connecting a Clariion disk array.  My VAR loaned me some Emulex cards
this week.  I switched the Qlogic for Emulex and the problem disappeared !

The iowait reading on the system would go to about 100% when doing heavy
disk writes - forget dynamic files - just plain file copies (1/2 gig files)
in Linux to the Clariion. The copy would complete and the iowait would
remain up at 100% for sometimes up to a minute afterwards.  Our
/var/log/messages file would get loaded with 'QUEUE FULL' errors from the
qla2300 driver.

Doing the same copy with the Emulex cards cause iowait to hit about 74%.
However, as soon as the copy is complete, the iowait goes back down to next
to nothing without any kind of major freeze up. 

This may not be your issue at all.  I would suggest copying of a large file
at the OS level using the disk that the dynamic files are on as the target.
See if this has the same impact on the performance.  If so, then the issue
is not dynamic files after all - its OS/hardware related.


A lesson to anyone considering Linux - stay away from Qlogic HBA's - they
suck in a major way and the company denys any problems and says that they
are stable on Linux.  They are not !

Thanks Anthony.
I was under the impression that a split was a lot more involved than that.
The situation is that a client is experiencing periodic system 'crawl' where
everything slows right down and the login process is completely stopped.
One thing that I noticed is that there have been a number files converted to
dynamic files and I was wondering if this could be the culprit.
You mentioned that there shouldn't be much split/merge with constant size
files - what about very dynamic sized files ?   I noticed that they have
converted a number of work/scratch files to dynamic whcih I would think is
not such a good idea.

In what way? I use dynamic files all the time, and we don't notice much 
of an impact.

>Is there some way to know exactly when a file splits/merges, hw long it 
>takes and the impact on the system ?
>
Not that I know of. If your file remains roughly constant in size, it's 
unlikely to split or merge much. It'll split when growing and merge if 
it shrinks *significantly*.

As for how long it takes, the whole point of dynamic files is that it's 
almost instantaneous. Assuming we have the standard 2K bucket, the 
chances are a split takes whatever time it takes to write 4K to disk - 
the rest of the overhead is negligible ...

Cheers,
Wol

RE: [U2] Validating an email adress

Just create a loop in basic and convert each character to its ascii value
and then just check your range of allowed values.

   INPUT EMAIL.ADDRESS
   BAD.EMAIL = @FALSE
   FOR LETTER=1 TO LEN(EMAIL.ADDRESS)
   TEST=SEQ(EMAIL.ADDRESS[LETTER,1]) 
   IF TEST<32 OR TEST>126 THEN;*just check what every you need here
  BAD.EMAIL = @TRUE   ;*this is not what you want, but just
  EXIT;*add your tweaks here
   END
   NEXT LETTER
   IF BAD.EMAIL THEN
  PRINT "YOUR EMAIL IS INVALID"
   END
