Re: [U2] Universe Server Hibernation
Many thanks for the responses :) - lost of food for thought! George, Thanks; I'm aware of the UPS being able to trigger processes; in fact I'm working toward a control system that will in future help to handle such incidents; there is a handful of less critical servers involved as well. Wol - the hibernation is not set up yet; and yes; I want to suspend the entire server and operating system to disk - no VMs involved. Our UV server is the server least often shut down or rebooted; to the point where I actually delay OS patches for months on end; having a 100% uptime of 6 months on the UV server is nothing new here. In fact last week's incident was the first in 3 years where this server went down without pre-scheduled downtime. John, a generator is high on my priority list. Proposals and funding for one have been repeatedly rejected during the last couple of years by my directors. We have invested heavily in wireless technology in our warehouses in the last year though, and I'm busy preparing new proposals which should be more open to acceptance, as power outages will have a much bigger impact on our business operations than in the past. We don't have a large user base - just 120 users at present, but that incorporates a whopping 50% growth in just the last year; it's been playing havoc with capacity planning and licensing! Thanks Stuart - it looks like I'll have to do some testing then. I'll just install a copy of UV on a test machine and restore a backup to it and run the tests within the 30 day licensing grace period; I really feel Rocket wouldn't bust my butt for a once-off test like this. If anybody from Rocket reads this, I would appreciate your comments before I do it though. If/Once I'm happy with the software tests, I can do a controlled test on the actual server to check for hardware related issues. There are two other small UV sites here in Namibia that may also benefit from this localised experience - I'll post feedback on the test results. Ross, thanks; the processes run in serial from a paragraph list - unfortunately it needs some user data inputs to start up thus the need for a telnet session on the server console to start it; we learnt years ago it's not good to run this lot from a networked session! No SAN / NAS - just a proper RAID system in the server itself. The console telnet session is my main concern though... I might have to see if we can start the processing off from a local UV shell; that might be more feasible than a local telnet session.

[U2] Universe Server Hibernation
Hi Has anybody ever tested how Universe behaves if the server is hibernated to disk ? Does it work and resume locally logged on sessions properly when the server is brought back up again? Obviously all network sessions will be aborted, but I'm not concerned about that. For background: We're running Universe 10.2.10 on Windows 2003 Enterprise X64 Server. Every night we have backups, a lot of batch update jobs and reporting that runs on the UV server. During this time period, there are no users connected to the system; only administrators can connect. Last week one night we had a power failure that outlasted the 4 hours run-time we have on our UPS, resulting in the server going down without a proper shutdown; fortunately not while in the middle of doing updates. I am concerned that something similar might happen while the system is processing; during the day it is OK as there are IT staff on-site that can make sure that user sessions are terminated as normally as possible and the server brought down gracefully during long-running outages. Why I'm asking about the hibernation: If there are local UV processes running, and the server is suspended to disk, will such processes carry on from where they left off when the server is brought up again ? - this could save us a lot of recovery time in such cases - rare as they are. Currently we have to look at at what point of the nightly jobs the server went down; if it was during backups no processing would be done; if it was during processing, we have to restore the backup to get the server back to a known state and so on.

Hi everyone. Is it possible to force Universe to refresh it's internal permissions list without restarting the UV service? I have a user that I added to the Windows Administrators group after the user was created on Windows and in Universe. It does not appear that UV picks up that this user is now allowed administrative privileges - and I really don't want to restart the UV service at this point in time on the server to get this going.

Re: [U2] ACS Embrace
Hi Dennis We use it both in South Africa and Namibia for the Taeuber Corssen group of companies for full financials and Inventory. We pay extra to have access to source code, as we had to modify the standard system fairly extensively for multi-company and multi-division use in our industry. Currently we are on a fairly old version - we will be upgrading later this year here in Namibia, and a part of our SA operation has already been upgraded. The version we are on does have some limitations; I am not yet sure how much of those will be addressed by the upgrade. In general, it copes well - we have 73 licenses with 100 users fighting for login sessions, especially around month ends. Our users are distributed throughout the country on VPN links - comms failures on these can cause some issues. The standard system also does not make use of indexing, and the data dictionaries could do with refinement. In the past this was not a problem, but we are starting to have performance issues, as some of our data files have grown to a couple of gigabytes. In the near future, we'll further customise to use indexing - preliminary tests for this looks good. To give an indication of what Embrace copes with here in Namibia - We print roughly 2 invoices per month, and the necessary picking requests for the warehouses, with a product range of about 1200 items. For the volume of transactions we do, the amount of user support we have to do is surprisingly minimal. We migrated from HP UX to Windows 5 years ago - I did a lot of preparation before the migration(writing scripts to automate file copying etc), and over a weekend I switched everything across. The Monday users continued as if nothing had happened - we only had some issues with Windows user accounts that had uppercase letters in them. This means that Embrace copes well with server migrations. Server Administration (on the Embrace/Universe server) for me consists of once-a-month loading Windows patches, and while everyone is off-line defragmenting the data file systems. We encounter severe fragmentation on some of the files on the NTFS file systems. Top of the wishlist would be a decent report generator - I know ACS is addressing that in the newer versions. Also, in the past they did not seem keen on supporting Embrace on a Linux server, and the Embrace Desktop client is not available for anything but Windows. You are welcome to email me off-list for more detail.

Re: [U2] Exporting files
Hi Anita You didn't specify the operating system(s) you are using - so I'll presume Windows, and also presume that an equivalent UV account already exists on the destination PC You can use UVBACKUP on the source PC to backup the file, and UVRESTORE on the destination PC to restore the file - make sure that the Universe BIN directory is in the search paths on both PCs (normally C:\IBM\UV\BIN). If you enter just UVBACKUP or UVRESTORE in a command shell window, you will get a list of command line parameters for these programs. In a command shell window, change to the directory where the file has to be backed up from, and do: UVBACKUP -v -t backup.image.name name(s) of file(s) to backup The backup.image.name is a name for a directory path and file name that will contain the backup image - this then needs to be copied to the destination PC, and must be restored using UVRESTORE. Remember, you also need to include the file's data dictionary in the backup/restore process if needed. Example: You have a UV account called TEST in directory C:\DATA\TEST, on both the source and destination PC You want to backup a file called FILE1 from TEST to the other PC - the dictionary file would then (normally) be called D_FILE1. On the source PC: Open a command shell (Start - Run - cmd) cd c:\data\test uvbackup -v -t BACKUP.DAT D_FILE1 FILE1 Now copy file backup.img to the other PC's C:\DATA\TEST directory (using network / memory stick / whatever other means you have available) On the destination PC: Open a command shell cd c:\data\test uvrestore -v BACKUP.DAT This is a _very_ basic example. There are also other things to keep in mind - Indexes (which also needs to be backed up), you should have no activity (reads/writes/record locks) on the file(s) being backed up restored etc. If the destination UV account does not exist on the destination PC, you'll have to create it first. It is also important that you backup your base UV account regularly, as it contains a lot of things needed to restore a crashed system - such as user accounts, ODBC settings, VOC entries etc. Below, I pasted extracts from shell scripts that I use for regular backups / restores on my system.

Re: [U2] Upper Case and Editors
I have been following this thread (and some other threads resulting from fairly obvious newcomers to UV/UD) with interest. Being pretty much a newbie to UV myself I'd like to throw in a few comments: Many, if not most, of the regular posters in this list seem to have MANY years of experience in this environment, and are still coding according to habits acquired way back in time. I do not mean this disrespectfully - for those that are happy with using line editors and all upper case, that is the way you work. From a newbie's point of view though - anybody learning UV/UD now most likely will come from a C or Visual Basic background, where (especially in the case of C) almost all coding is done in lower case. Personally I use Delphi a lot, which is also done mostly in lower case. I find it inconvenient to switch to the convention of doing coding in all uppercase, especially as I have made a habit of keeping a separate word processor window open to document programs and changes while I am doing the coding. In between, I also have to provide end-user support to 100+ users in MS Office, Lotus Notes etc., and being of a lazy (and efficient) nature, this is done using VNC. Then I also have my email open all the time, and is constantly checking and replying to messages. With all the above (and more!) happening, I find it annoying having to switch caps-lock all the time - what happens a lot is that I switch to another window and start typing away merrily, only to realise after a couple of words that everything is cASE iNVERTED, or that the help I'm trying to give to a user is not working because of case inversion. As to editing, having become accustomed over the years to the convenience of full-screen editors, and not initially knowing that it was possible to use a full-screen editor to edit BPs, it was a nightmare for me to get the simplest things done in UV. I think there are many other newbies out there that feels the same... Add together to this the naming of things ( a UV ACCOUNT is not a login account, but is similar to a MS SQL database etc.), and it was extremely challenging for me to get to grips with UV - the namings make self-help research difficult. Initially I actually hated UV for this, but I was forced to use it because our core financial system runs on it. After having come to grips with how UV works and interacts, I have come to like and very much respect it for what it can do, but I see many of my initial frustrations echoed in posts from other newcomers. This can possibly steer newcomers to the MV environment away from it - it takes a lot of time and effort to make the switch. As Mr. Glorfield stated in his farewell message, this is most definitely a very helpful and courteous group, but on the odd occasion I have also seen replies posted to obvious newcomers that is given based on years of experience, but without regard to the fact that the newcomer does not actually have the necessary foundation to understand it. The U2UG web site proudly advertises the growing Knowledge Base, but how does one get to it? - for a newcomer, there is no direct link to click (unless I am not looking properly) - surely this will be one of the first ports of call for anybody looking for information. I am prepared to dedicate some personal time to do write-ups (how-tos etc) for newcomers, from the perspective of a newcomer, which can then be vetted by more experienced UV users for correctness - this will be a bit intermittent as I have a lot on my plate though. Is anyone prepared to vet and host such write-ups? For the newcomers out there who read this far - stick to it like a foxterrier to a tennis ball - it will pay of in the end and you will be surprised at the new world that opens up. For the UV longtimers - thanks for all the help and feedback to the group - it is much appreciated!

Re: [U2] UniData and indexing
I think this might be as relevant to UD as to UV - I am testing indexing on UV currently: LIKE type of queries on text fields that start with a known part e.g. SELECT XDATA WITH CUST LIKE PARTCU... uses the indexing. I'm not sure about UNLIKE queries - these I have not tested yet. LIKE type queries that have a wildcard at the start do not use the indexing. I have not tested multiple wildcards with a known start though... (LIKE PARTCU...ME... for example) To make an analogy, it is like using a dictionary: it is easy to find all words starting with wh (LIKE wh...) - just go to w, then to wh, start making the list, and stop when wi is encountered. To find all words with wh somewhere in them, you would have to start at the beginning, and examine each word to see if it contains wh ( LIKE ...wh...) - this will take a lot longer ;-) I also found that ALL D type dictionary items that point to the same field benefit from indexing if an index is created on any one of them - for example in: LIST DICT AFILE ... PRODUCT D 1 ... PRODD 1 ... PART.NO D 1 ... ... An index created on PRODUCT (CREATE.INDEX AFILE PRODUCT) gets used with a SELECT AFILE WITH PROD LIKE APRO... and SELECT AFILE WITH PART.NO LIKE APRO... as well. On our system I found a lot of I-type entries in dictionaries pointing to plain D-type entries: LIST DICT AFILE ... PRODUCT D 1 ... PRODI PRODUCT ... PART.NO I PRODUCT ... ... These I-types do NOT benefit - so I am busy writing a program that will find these types of entries and convert them to D types to benefit from indexes. I don't understand why the suppliers of the system did this - My sense tells me that to do a select on an I type takes an additional calculation for each record - so that a select on an unindexed I type will actually take longer than a select on the (unindexed) D-type it is pointing to...

RE: [U2] [UD] Best practices
I have a question / concern regarding the D and I types: If a D type is created (F1 below) and an I type added to the dictionary referencing this D type directly (PRODUCT below), what is the impact on indexing? For example, if an index is created on the D type, will UNIBASIC code using the I type benefit from this index? The reason I am asking this, is that we have a system with all the data tables created with D types called F1, F2, F3 etc, and all the coding is using the I types for data access. The system has NO indexes created, and even simple queries take ages to execute because of this... I know from previous posts that it is not a good idea to create indexes on fields that are TRANSed from other tables, but we can definitely benefit from indexing on some of the more-used fields in our tables. My problem is on which fields to create these indexes Type Field. Field. Field Conversion.. Column. Output Depth Name.. Number Definition... Code Heading Format Assoc..

Re: [U2] Running Universe on AMD processor
We're running UV 10 on a quad Xeon box with Windows 2000 server - without any problems at all. Windows 2003 shouldn't be a problem either - I originally tested our server with this, but fell back to W2k because we implemented _just_ after W2k3 became available, and I didn't want our enterprise system running on a new and possibly buggy (then) OS.

Re: [U2] [UD] LOGTO question...
You could try: LOGTO C:\Progra~1\david\data\AccountOfStuff Possibly the 8.3 notation for the directory will work - it's not ideal, and you might have to confirm whether that is the actual 8.3 notation directory for Program Files...

RE: [U2] Off-topic? Problems with DigiPortServer - Win2003 server SP1 - Universe
I once encountered a similar problem a couple of years ago at my previous workplace. The Digi controller card has two lines to which digis can be connected on a daisy-chain RS422 interface. Digis connected to the one line did a similar thing; I eventually traced it to a faulty end-of-line terminator - this might be an idea to check. Also, if new electrical equipment was installed near digi lines, you could try to drop the RS422 link speed (normally at 2 megabit) down a bit and see if you have an improvement, especially if the RS422 link is fairly long. This presumes that you are running digis as I know them, unless newer models are ethernet-connected.

Problems with 25/09/2005 09:09 DigiPortServer - Win2003 server SP1 - Universe Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] er.u2ug.org Thanks anthony. All the digis are acting up - they are chained together. It does seem like the problem started around the time SP1 was installed, but they may very well have installed some other gear around the same time that they haven't mentioned to me yet. I'll look into that - possible conflicts with IP addresses. joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Dzikiewicz Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 2:55 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Off-topic? Problems with DigiPortServer - Win2003 server SP1 - Universe 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.

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? Clueless in Cleveland.

Re: [U2] Problems with uvrestore
Hi Jay You could try UVRESTORE -verify image name to allow uvrestore to verify the image In addition, check what blocksize was used on the original uvbackup image, and specify the appropriate -b size uvrestore parameter HTH Regards Arnold Bosch IT Administrator Taeuber Corssen SWA (Pty) Ltd Jay Falck unicorncomputing [EMAIL PROTECTED] To ting.com u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent by: cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] stserver.u2ug.org Subject [U2] Problems with uvrestore 22/08/2005 15:19 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] er.u2ug.org I am trying to restore a backup from a UV 10 system running on AIX to a UV 10 system running on Windows.
