I have a huge resizing project to pull off at a client that runs almost 24/7, so it would be great to know that the capability is there to resize files while they are open (being accessed by advanced pick users).

Yes, as of about version 6. I didn't know it was possible in UniVerse. It's not in UniData :-( Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -Original Message- From: Joe Walter Wondering if anyone out there knows it it's ok, possible to resize open files in advanced pick running on AIX?

RE: [U2] Off topic - resizing open files in Advanced Pick/AIX
(Non-technical comments here can easily apply to U2 sites.) As with all new procedures, I highly recommend that you do extensive testing on the target system before running on live client data. Slam the files that are being resized with different kinds of simultaneous updates and see if the file maintains its integrity afterward. I normally recommend that a VAR test this sort of thing off of the end-user system first, but chances are you don't have a spare AP/AIX box laying around. Caution advised: Your client is running AP 6.1 and the software is now at a level called D3 7.4.3. A large number of things have been fixed since 6.1. Manu claims RESIZE works but without running that command extensively on the specific AP/AIX 6.1 platform with the same patches as your client has, I don't think that statement of encouragement should be taken as carte blanche to run the process on live data. Before your client's system 9 year old dies with no hope of recovery or reactivation, I highly suggest you start discussing upgrades with them, or since you're in a U2 forum then perhaps migration is more on your mind. And why in the wide world of sports do people keep posting Advanced Pick and mvBASE questions to this U2 forum?! I know, I know - probably more AP users here than in the RD forums... :)Try comp.databases.pick too...
