Subject: Re: [U2] Selecting a List
Hi All,
Again, I need a little help.
The following PROCEDURE LINE works just fine. In this case I'm just
inserting the variable V.CALENDAR.YEAR to complete my file suite and I am
going after 2 alphanumeric records ('P2021422' 'P2083158').
PROCEDURE LINE SELECT GLA.:V.CALENDAR.YEAR: WITH GLA.REF.NO =
'P2021422' 'P2083158'
The problem arises when I attempt to select from a LIST (below)
PROCEDURE LINE SELECT GLA.:V.CALENDAR.YEAR: WITH GLA.REF.NO = :
VL.JS.LIST.VAR1
Of course the system does not like the Value Marker so I need to get rid
of it...
VL.JS.LIST.VAR1 = ':CONVERT (@VM,' ',VL.JS.LIST.VAR1):'
The hope here is to replace @VM with ' ' and then place the ' at each
end... but CONVERT will only switch one for one - one @VM for a single
single quote (') which results in a quote mismatch.
Any suggestions?
Greg

To improve comprehension, you have to write code to (a) reveal its logical structure, and (b) reveal the business rules implemented in the code. Sorry, but structures like: IF A:B:C NE '' THEN CUM(M) = A+B+C (concatenating variables as a string, then performing numeric operations on them) slows down the comprehension process. And for what benefit? To me, that's just a lazy programmer that doesn't want to type a few extra keystrokes. Another structure caused a number of comments: IF condition THEN statement ELSE other-statement END (inline THEN followed by block ELSE). It appears that some readers saw the # in the condition and assumed an If Not Not structure at first, missing the THEN. I find it interesting that no one has commented on the fact that CUM(M) gets conditionally reinitialized, and whether or not that is important. But it proves my points that neither the structure nor business rules are clear within the OP's code. You can have 2 years programming experience, or 20, it does not matter. Better structure and variable naming will vastly improve program accuracy.

Re: [U2] Migration
Agreed, that this is how it is often done. But there is nothing that says that this is how it has to be done OR even how it should be done. These 2 files could be setup such that : The CUSTOMER file contains no such embedded 'cross reference' field for appointments The APPOINTMENTS file could be keyed as : @ID = CUSTOMERNO*APPTDATE*APPTTIME*APPTTYPE With ITYPE entries setup for CUSTOMERNO = @ID['*',1,1] APPTDATE = @ID['*',2,1] APPTTIME = @ID['*',3,1] APPTYPE = @ID['*',4,1] -- OR -- @ID = sequentially generated With data fields defined for CUSTOMERNO, APPTDATE, APPTTIME APPTYPE In both cases, indexed on CUSTOMERNO. I believe you will find the following 2 snippets pretty comparable performance wise : * I know there are other better (?) ways to do this * insert your own list traversal code appcnt=dcount(custrecappxref,@VM ) for appidx = 1 to appcnt appid = custrecappxref,appidx next execute 'SELECT APPOINTMENTS WITH CUSTOMERNO = ':squote(custno) loop while readnext appid repeat Dropping the xref field in the parent table would help immensely with file sizing as records would tend to be a lot closer in size to the average instead of having CUSTOMER records that have accumulate massive xref fields over time - this is a problem I see in systems all the time. This also gets around your problem of knowing what is related to what - you know that all keys are automatic indexes in sql server and anything that could be used for lookup/joining purposes should also have an explicit index in sql server else it would be a bottleneck in sql server as well. There is also nothing that says that a file's key value has to be based on anything related to the data in the record - some would argue that key values should NEVER be related to the data. The only reason to prefer the 1st method over the 2nd is for human readability which imo shouldn't be a concern anyway. The 2nd scheme also gets around the sql-mv field mapping, no defined relation, no key, non-unique key and key length max exceeded problems, and would definitely produce a much more even hash distribution.

Consider a CUSTOMER file and an APPOINTMENTS file. The item-id of the CUSTOMER file is the customer number. The item-id of the APPOINTMENTS file is CUSTOMERNO*APPTDATE*APPTTIME*APPTTYPE. When you have a parent/child relationship in multiple files in MV, except in those cases where the key to a child file is the item-id of the parent file with a sequential ordinal, the common way to indicate a parent-child relationship involving more than one file in MV is to embed, in the parent item a multivalued set of either all the entire item-ids of the child table, or the portion that needs to be concatenated to the parent's item-id. That is what I call a cross reference field. If you don't have this, you are faced with trying to scan the whole APPOINTMENTS file to find all item-ids that start with your CUSTOMERNO value. What you might actually have in the CUSTOMER file is a set of 3 correlated multivalued attributes that have APPTDATE, APPTTIME, and APPTTYPE values for all the APPOINTMENTS items that pertain to the CUSTOMER item. In a SQL environment, the primary key to the child table would consist of at least two fields, one or more of which would be the full primary key of the parent table. In SQL Server a true primary key forces the file to actually be sorted by those key fields (it forces a clustered index). You can also have secondary indexes that are also pre-sorted by their indexed columns. They are effectively complete copies of the indexed fields and a copy of the primary key so it can directly read the data once you've found the index entries that match your query. In our example above, you'd have CUSTOMERNO as a primary key to the CUSTOMER

DBMS vendors should be focusing on making superior databases, not XML, web services, or a lot of this other fluff. People in the open source and commercial markets spend a great deal of time focused on these things, and because of this, their offerings are often much better.

So we changed it so the ErrorPolicy retry-job instead, now it doesn't take the queue offline, instead now it just doesn't send a job to the server, but still deletes it from it's queue.

You could create an alternative named VOC entry that uses INFORMATION.FORMAT to save changing it back. However, it may not really be an issue. The Reality mode version of CATALOG behaves the same as the Information style one with no extra options (what Ideal/Information and PI/open call normal mode). By selecting the INFORMATION format you gain LOCAL and global modes. The problem is that those accounts were imported from a Reality system, and I wanted to use some of the subroutines that were written on another account imported from a Prime system. The mode of CATALOG has no effect on what you can call. It only determines how the cataloguing is done.

Re: [U2] UV Memory issues
Do you have or have you added any other applications running on the same server or is it dedicated to UV? I have seen where having another application running on the same server will conflict with UV. -- From: u2ug simpson-u...@gerzio.ca Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2010 10:31 AM To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] UV Memory issues We started running into a situation recently where a box running universe 10.2.11 on hpux 11.31 started to have severe performance problems, zero response, processes that normally take seconds to run taking hours etc. In Top we could see that the reported free memory was averaging about 28M at times dropping to less than 5M and that the vhand process was chewing up a most of the cpu. With the free memory that low, vhand hogging the system makes sense. Why the memory is that low is the question. The machine has 4G of memory, right after reboot before anyone but me gets on the system top shows us at 3G free. If we just let the system sit, free memory will sit happily at 3G. As soon as we start using universe, the free memory starts to fall. Logging out all universe processes and even bringing universe down has no effect on free memory - I would have expected the memory to be freed up once the universe processes and in particular universe itself was terminated but that's not what we are seeing. We were in the process of setting up a new box physically the same as the old box but running uv 10.3.6 on hpux 11.3.1. So I am looking at this problem now on that box in isolation. We were hoping that this would turn out to be a hardware issue but we are seeing the same problem on this new box as well. This is out of my realm of experience and I am stumped as to where to go next. I have the system guy checking with hp , my guess is they are going to point the finger at uv. I am going to check with our var - I'm not overly optimistic there either. Any suggestions ? - Hpux/uv tunables we should be looking at - can we tell universe to restrict the amount of physical memory that it uses ? - Or maybe this is a garbage collection issue ? - universe or hpux being overly aggressive about caching - any hpux utilities that we can use to see exactly where the memory is being used ? - ?

I could log in to the database, but any command, whether Write, Select or catalogued subroutine would stop dead in its track. There was no error message, no indication what could have gone wrong.

Re: [U2] import data to excel sheet...
This is a function of the operating system. On Unix systems only a linefeed character is added to the end of a line whereas on Windows both carriage return and linefeed characters are added to the end of a line. If you open a file created on a Unix system with the notepad app it will have one line with strange characters in it. A quick fix, if you open the same file with word pad it will be converted and you can save it. If you created a file on a Unix system for use on a Windows system you have to add a carriage return character to the end of the line.

The U2 team at Rocket Software announces a renewed focus on improving SQL interfaces to the UniData and UniVerse data servers. Microsoft SQL Server Driver Support Starting with the November release of UniData on Windows, the Rocket U2 team will deliver and support the Microsoft SQL Server driver for External Database Access (EDA) on Windows platforms. The same driver is available now in the Early Adopter release of UniVerse 11. To obtain the SQL Server driver for EDA, contact u2as...@rs.com. Please tell us what database you're using when you do so. External Database Access (EDA) is required in order to use the SQL Server Driver. EDA is available for Workgroup and Server edition and is included with Enterprise edition of the databases. Common Mapping Tool and Schema Generator In addition, we are in the early planning stages for an improved, common mapping tool and schema generator for fully describing the U2 data model in order to generate SQL and EDA schemas. This new tool will provide a modern, extensible interface for both initial mapping as well as updating of schemas. This tool, with its associated APIs, will improve deployment of ISV solutions to end customer sites thereby saving time and speeding time to market. This tool will be available with UniVerse 11.1 and in a UniData 7.3 release to follow.

[U2] Spooler for Windows
What products are out there that mimic the Unix UniVerse spooler in a Windows environment? From what I can see on Windows, UniVerse uses the Windows printer subsystem and in my estimation that was a mistake. There's no retention of print jobs, no form type, no ability to use scripts, it is the biggest stumbling block for conversion from a 'nix environment. I would only like to look at packages that are built to work with UniVerse and are like the Unix spooler with all the bells and whistles. We have moved from Unix V5, to Solaris, to RH Linux, and our spooler scripts only needed minor changes long the way. Now we are trying to go to Windows and the only stumbling block the we have encountered is the spooler. We did so much with it.

Re: [U2] extraction conversion codes
I don't see this as misleading if anything it makes a simple list of a dictionary much more obvious as all D types for the same location are listed together as opposed to having to SEARCH the DICT for references hidden in I types. I can't speak to A or S types as I've never used them. But to the point, the preference for D over I was performance, I-types take roughly 3.5x longer to execute that the corresponding D-type. On an older/slower box churning through very large amounts of data this can have an impact. I reran the timings since the original post on our current machines ( this process has been around for a few hardware/software generations ) and the 3.5x still holds but the overall impact has decreased to the point where this issue is pretty much moot.

Re: [U2] Resize Question
If you are starting out with trying to use SQL on a legacy database your best bet would be to create a separate account just for SQL. In the new account put in pointers to the main data files you will be using and create dictionaries to the files locally. In this way you can build the dictionaries to be SQL compliant and only have the fields that you will be using for your SQL apps. It's a little more work to set up but will save loads of time later. If you have files with the same data (current and history files) you can use the same dictionaries so that can cut down on the number of dictionaries used. Jerry Banker -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Brian Leach Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 2:57 AM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] Resize Question Hi Andrew Because UniVerse dictionaries contain not only solid column definitions, but also synonyms and virtual fields, you have to choose which of these will be exposed for ODBC or similar relational protocols. A typical dictionary for a mature system might have a thousand entries which makes navigating these in something like MS query or the .NET data set designer very difficult! So for this you need to do two things: First, create a phrase named @SELECT. This is a dictionary entry in the format: Key: @SELECT 1: PH 2: list of fields SPACE delimited. You can test this out by doing a SELECT * from file at TCL, which uses the same phrase. Then, you need to update the file information cache used by ODBC (prevents it having to scan every dictionary on connect). For this, run the HS.UPDATE.FILEINFO command after making your changes. However, you might also want to step back and consider whether ODBC is really your best choice. To use ODBC effectively you need to understand about dynamic normalizing and the differences between the UniVerse data model and the relational model expected by ODBC. Depending on what you wish to do, ODBC may tie you up in knots and you may be better off looking at one of the native protocols (the UniObjects family) or web services instead. Also, I don't know why you chose to copy your VOC across. That will contain pointers to all the files from the original system, which you don't have on yours, hence the large number of errors you are seeing. If you are brave, you can try a CLEAN.ACCOUNT command, but take a backup first! [AD] You might want to consider my latest book, 'IBM UniVerse Client Developer' (written when this was still an IBM product) which covers the various protocols in depth.

That has helped a lot and I can now see the data in the UV command line :) If possible, I am now hoping to be able to expose this imported data to ODBC so I can work with it in PHP, etc. But I am again finding problems I cannot find an answer for in the help docs or searching the list archive. First, I created a PICK account using the U2UG guide mentioned. I then used HS.ADMIN option 3 to Activate access to files in an account which went well and showed it as an activated account. I copied over the TEMP and VOC (D_VOC, D_VOCLIB, VOC, VOCLIB, etc) files from the live UniVerse server to my account as well as my test table ZIP (ZIP and D_ZIP). I fnuxi'd and SET.INDEX'd them and could see the data on the command line using SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ZIP and the like. However, when I went to ODBC I could only see 3 tables. AE_DOC, HELP_FILE, and HS_FILE_ACCESS (ODBC reported no rows in HS_FILE_ACCESS). I ran HS.ADMIN option 3 again on the account and for most things it said: Could not open file FILENAME. STATUS() = -2 FILENAME was not written into File Information Cache. For the file I copied over, ZIP, it said: ZIP's dictionary has no @ phrase or @SELECT phrase. ZIP was written into File Information Cache but may not behave as desired. This is a little confusing as I thought D_ZIP was the dictionary file and SELECT works on the command line. After this, I checked ODBC and saw the 3 above and one more table called UVMD. I am not sure what this was so I got it but it appears to be a system table of some sort.

[U2] Sharing files
I am very familiar with how to do things on Unix/Linux systems but my knowledge of the MS Windows Server environment is substantially lacking. So I am wondering if the group can give me some pointers. I have a folder on a RH Linux system that I would like to share on a Windows 2K8 server running UV 10.2. The share has been set up using Samba on the RH Linux as3 server and from a desktop or an RDP session to the Windows server I can map the share and us it. But, I would like to use the share from within our main UV account for multiple telnet sessions. On 'nix all I had to do was mount the folder from another system, put a pointer to it in the VOC, and I was up and running. From UV Windows I am at a loss to know where the mount is. I have tried to use a UNC path in the VOC pointer but it doesn't seem to work or possibly I didn't create it properly (\\IPaddress\smbshare\file file:///\\IPaddress\smbshare\file ). They are on two different subnets. Can anyone enlighten me on how they are doing it?

Re: [U2] SELECTs on FILEs
While you are on the subject I have discovered another little annoyance from Windows as opposed to Unix. On Unix, Linux, Solaris, et al you can do a select on an account and get the same results every time, however, on windows you may not. At least with Universe. For a simple test do a select on your current account: SELECT UFD Then do it a second time: SELECT UFD On 'nix systems you will get no difference, but, on windows you will get a list of entries that it says do not exist and the selection count is lower. What I have found is that on the first pass it will select all entries but on the second pass none of the folder type files can be found. An account is usually made up of a variety of file types; including segmented hash and types 1, 19, 25, and 30.

In the first example the common is declared in program 1 and can be used in both program 1 and the called subroutine program 2. In the second example the common is declared only when the second program is called and can only be used by the second program, and any programs called from it.

Re: [U2] Unidata odd error
I can't speak for Unidata but with UniVerse there was no problem going from Solaris to Red Hat. We went to it 4 years ago and I did it on a Saturday. I set up the printers and themaster account ahead of time. 99% of the commands are identical, I think the only problems I had were with the cp and rm commands having an extra switch. If you don't use any of the operating system commands you won't have any problems. Unlike going to Windows the spooler is the same and cups is easy to use.

Documenting the program or application is always a good idea, it also helps if changes to the programs are documented, but having to write the specs to the smallest minutia is overkill.

Re: [U2] U2 is now Rocket U2
This all depends, if I am reading it correctly, their other products are being advertised until their original names and Rocket is more in the background. So they may advertise the U2 products under a completely different name. What would you like the name to be? Maybe Rocket would like some input on this point. After all we created the term U2 and IBM adopted it. Now, I think we should drop the U2 brand, since a lot of people think we are talking about the rock group, for a more 21st century name. Also we have got to stop calling them Pick databases. Multi-dimensional, multi-valued and extended relational are okay but maybe we can come up with a more futuristic name than that. How about Rocket or the users group starting up a contest to name the new division?

Re: [U2] back to the socket problem....
I did this once and ran into the same issue and came up with a scheme using pipes. The server process handles all incoming requests and starts up a phantom to actually handle each request. The server and the phantom process communicate via pipes. The server then does a round-robin polling for data to be moved between pipes connections and vice versa. I am not sure how many concurrent connections this could handle before things started to crawl. But typically the requests were simple one request packet one response packet and finished. There was also some phantom/pipe pooling involved to cut down on the phantom startup and pipe creation overhead. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: August 28, 2009 09:53 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] back to the socket problem The problem at hand is that you can't pass the client handle obtained from the accept() onto another process, then go back and wait for another connection.
