Re: [U2] Universe 10.3 - Issues with I-Types when using subroutine calls, and the dictionary items is Alt-key

2010-08-07 Thread Hona, David
The most common problems with conversions to new versions of UV is that the 
UVCONFIG parameters are not aligned to what they were under the previous 
release and/or what is appropriate for the new OS and UV version. 

Where applicable you must also ensure if you are re-hosting (ie., different 
host) that any applicable kernel changes if using a version UNIX - for the new 
release are made in accordance with Rocket U2 recommendations and your actual 
requirements for your application (ie., your UVCONFIG, etc).

Check MFILES. Check T30FILES if using dynamic files are set to values 
equivalent to what you had previous, etc.

Subject: [U2] Universe 10.3 - Issues with I-Types when using subroutine calls, 
and the dictionary items is Alt-key

Good Day,

 

We are in the process of upgrading from Universe 9.6 to 10.3, and we have
noticed that the system performance is degraded when we use an I-Type
dictionary with subroutine calls, and the item is also an alternate key.

It seems that the report run about 4 or 5 times slower.

Is there someone else who has encountered similar issues?

Any ideas? 

 

Best regards,

Aramaies Baghdasraian

What are you doing in your i-type? Optimisation of your code can make
quite a difference.

The more data that your i-type needs, that you can feed in via arguments
rather than (re)read from file, that's saving reads. If you need to open
files, cache them in named common because that USED to be a MAJOR
performance killer (much less so nowadays I believe, but still...)

Look at your code. The reference to an alternate key makes me suspect
you are suffering open/read penalties that you can hopefully optimise
away to a large extent.

Cheers,
Wol

Re: [U2] Universe 10.3 - Issues with I-Types when using subroutine calls, and the dictionary items is Alt-key

2010-08-05 Thread David Wolverton
File Opens ARE a major killer -- even today -- we found that just building a
'named common' block used just in a SubRoutine called from dictionaries
helped SELECTs and SORTs and LISTs to perform MAGNITUDES better (We're
UniData, so YMMV)...

We test the 'FILEINFO' for the handle that is carried in NamedCommon, and if
FILEINFO for the named common was not filled in, we did the open.  Note that
you also need to store the 'current path' data as well in the NamedCommon,
and check that as well since the NamedCommon persists through 'LOGTOs' -- if
you have a LIVE and a TEST account, and you run in LIVE first, the named
common will still 'be there' if you simply LOGTO the TEST account - so
always test that the account/path used to open a file is the same on
're-use' of the file handle.

But I'm here to say - of all things, cache your file handles.
