Yes, Dennis, it did. There are long technical explanations of how it worked, but it was indeed a clever, 'techie-appealing' concept. Back in the old Microdata days (yes, I'm that old), you could get in big trouble with the timeslice approach, though. If your timeslice was 50 ms, after that time everything you were doing got saved and the next process in line got the juice. There were certain things that released your timeslice, too, such as IO operations, etc. If you were doing disk access, and what you were working with got paged out of memory, you had to go get it again when your turn came around again. If that took too long, you went through the same thing again, and you might actually sit there all day and get nothing done. No wonder we worried about frame faulting. Ah, those were the days...

From there you have a world full of answers rather than something U2-specific. Note that most shared hosts don't have a MySQL DBMS on the same system as the HTTP servers. They almost Always separate MySQL to a different box for queries, so examples for how to do this are plentiful. So write a small PHP script that does what you need, copy/paste from examples if required. Then invoke the script with a simple SH or ! to execute the script, passing in params. Capture the result with an Execute Capturing clause, or have the script write data to a directory which you reference as a type 1 or type 19. That's it. This one is fairly easy - just think outside of the MV box.

I agree with Jerry; assuming you are doing web-based sales, use an external company to handle it for you.

Re: [U2] UniVerse On RedHat?
I looked for the scripts I wrote for our conversion years ago, and couldn't find 'em, but other comments made have sparked a few additional memories: For printing, we wrote scripts to send stuff to printers directly to port 9100, rather than use the OS-based printer interface. This let us customize it a bit more for such things as print job archiving and form overlays, with the benefit of REALLY understanding the entire printing process. For user ids, we had a script that took the password and secure password files (sorry, been too long, don't recall their names!), stripped out everything but user accounts, put in new shell paths (bash vs. ksh), then inserted them into the linux files. Worked very well. Our application had a batch system built it, using the application from Fitzgerald and Long. When we migrated to RH, we rewrote most of it to use at. Had a few hiccups when we went live, but got them straightened out. One side benefit was the relative ease in developing and testing DR recovery scripts. We were able to do all development and testing of the processes on a desktop machine. In testing at the recovery facility, we had a couple hiccups (had more to do with the equipment/networking at the site, which we had to adjust for), but we were able to complete the DR test, then wiped the recovery system, and did a complete recovery again; all in eight hours.

Re: [U2] Compiling 101
The naming threw me off, too. /uv/CODE is the UV account, and BP is the directory with the source code; so BASIC BP FLAVOR.R0 is the correct syntax. Did you create the BP directory via CREATE.FILE, or did you use mkdir at the Unix level and use vi (or some such editor) to create the source code within this directory? If the latter, then it is missing the file pointer in the VOC, as well as a dictionary. The dictionary isn't critical for compiling, just makes it easier to list stuff! :-) Assuming it was created via mkdir at the Unix level, you can create a VOC entry for it. (Please forgive me if I'm about to tell you things you already know!) The entry's name should be BP, line 1 should be F, and line two should be BP. You should be able, then, to execute the command BASIC BP FLAVOR.R0. I created a similar environment in UV (version 10.0older legacy system!), with a Unix-level created BP and a source file named FLAVOR.R0 created with vi. Here's what I got, and how I fixed it: BASIC BP FLAVOR.R0 Unable to open BP file. ED VOC BP New record. : I 0001= F 0002= BP 0003= Bottom at line 2. : FI BP filed in file VOC.

Compiling: Source = 'BP/FLAVOR.R0', Object = 'BP.O/FLAVOR.R0' Compilation Complete. Note that the directory for the run files was automatically created. You can drop back to Unix, copy D_BP.O to D_BP, then add D_BP as the third line in the VOC entry for BP, and you'll have your dictionary for it!

Re: [U2] sudo for dummies
John, I think this is an issue of how processes work in *nix, and how Universe looks at the account. Whether you execute sudo as a new process or replace the current process with the command you are executing (via exec), uv is running as root (you can do SH -c ps -ef | grep uv to see the process ownership). This looks like what uv is picking up for @LOGNAME. I'm not sure there is a way around this (I'm not that familiar with the intricacies of sudo) from the OS side. I wonder, however, if it might be possible to incorporate this into your basic programs. I'm guessing that the root functions that you need are shell commands and not Universe basic programs. If this is the case, to run the lastb command (which needs rood privileges; at least, in Linux...been a couple years since I've worked in HP-UX), you can do SH -c sudo lastb, for example. If this is the case, and depending on the robustness of the sudo command in HP-UX, you can also address some of the security issues by specifying only those commands that your developers need to be able to run. If, however, it is to run basic programs, you might be able to create the concept of a root equivalency file. We had this in our legacy ERP system. Create a file that has read-only access from most accounts, with a record that lists each account that you want to have root privileges. This could be easy to do if you have a single subroutine that checks permission levels and returns a yea or nay, or a nightmare if each program does its own checking. Hope this helps.

The system is only accessed for historical data now (with a couple exceptions), so when the hardware crashed last summer, we moved it to a virtual machine (VMware) running Centos.

RE: [U2] Performance monitoring
MFILES is related to the OS per process open file limit (documented in the uvconfig file). The specific name of this value varies for different OSes. It looks like the default limit for AIX is 2000 (listed as nofiles). This was the absolute maximum until around 4.3.1. An individual user can see their setting via the ulimit -a command. Some time ago we had a program that started getting slower over time. Turns out the original programmer had made liberal use of dynamic arrays rather than dimensioned arrays, and these become horribly inefficient when they become large.

If it's more than RLTABSZ times GSEMNUM, you'll want to increase gsemnum. I would avoid increasing GLTABSZ and RLTABSZ by much; the lock table is a hashed table, and just like uv files, broad and shallow yields better performance/less contention. Also look at MFILES; in the uv account, do a PORT.STATUS with the MFILE.HIST option to see how things are going. Closing reopening files is very expensive. I've asked a few people if there's an upper limit, and while nobody will commit to an answer (feel free, anyone), there appears to be no penalty to making it too big. I don't recall what the scratch buffer pool does, and the documentation is sparse. SELBUF is interesting, if you're doing a lot of selects. The default is 4, in units of 1K. So, if you do a select, it starts accumulating a list of id's in RAM until the size of that list reaches 4K. At that point, it creates a file in UVTEMP, and you're going to disk. I can't see much reason not to increase this to 1024, so select lists up to 1Mb are created in RAM. These may help some, but unless MFILES is massively underconfigured and you're using some absurd amount of cpu to just close re-open files, I'm inclined to think that the symptoms you mention indicate that AIX VMM tuning will give you more bang for the buck. I'd be especially looking at how VMM is treating computational vs file cache; with the amount of data you churn through in a night, you'll want to be sure to heavily favor computational memory pages. How much RAM do you have? -Original Message- From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of ericro Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 7:31 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Performance monitoring Sounds like a good start. I'm also wondering how the Universe config is playing into things. There are some parameters we've never changed, i.e. the scratch buffer stuff, and others we have such as the lock parameters. We haven't changed any of these in some time, but I'm wondering if we're hitting some thresholds. How would I know? Dan Fitzgerald wrote: Of course, there are a lot of things to look at. I think what you're looking for is svmon -U username. This will show you the user's memory map. Svmon with no arguments shows you overall stats; one thing to look for there is that there should be no pinned memory for UV; Oracle needs pinned memory, it's wasted with (and unusable to) UV. Further, there are three AIX commands that will display environment variables (as of 5.2) are vmo, ioo, and schedo. Vmo -l, for example, will give you virtual memory settings. These are stored in /etc/tunables/lastboot, but - similar to looking at uvconfig rather than analyze.shm - what's in lastboot may not be the current values. Now, one of the first things to look at is in vmstat -v. This is output in nmon, if you're running that daily (recommended); if not, you can run it at the command line. Look for these lines: vmstat -v 0 pending disk I/Os blocked with no pbuf vmstat -v 0 paging space I/Os blocked with no psbuf vmstat -v 9877 filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf vmstat -v 0 client filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf vmstat -v 0 external pager filesystem I/Os blocked with no fsbuf If, over time, these are growing, you'll need to increase the number of the various file buffers.
