Two tricks to speed things up ... Firstly, would the NO.NULLS keyword speed things up? I'm guessing your fields can often be blank, and in this case you will have a single huge record knocking your index for six! Secondly, would the pause and resume indexing commands work? During the day, while the users are working, you pause index updates. At the end of the day (or whenever you need to run the reports) you resume indexing. Okay, it'll knacker the system while it sorts out the indices, but it'll be one short, concentrated hit. The you run your reports, disable indexing again, and let the users at it ...

RE: UV command failing mystery
We upgraded our system from a 16 processor AV2 to an 8 processor
AV25000. Because each block of 4 cpus can only support 4gb of memory our
upgrade was going to cut our memory in half. So, the main purpose of the
changes was to cut the memory requirements of the universe lock tables. And
in fact we successfully cut the per user memory usage in half. The other
changes were made as part of the overall review of both uv.config and the
kernel parameters prior to the upgrade.
Because several people suggested that the semaphore and/or shared memory
changes could be the cause of the problem I had them changed back to their
original values yesterday. So far we have not had a failure, but its a
little too soon to celebrate.
Thanks for the advice on using the trace. I was not able to pick out the
system calls and before I make another attempt I think I will wait and see
if the weekends changes fixed the problem. If the problem is solved I will
post in case someone else runs in the same problem in the future.

Subject: RE: UV command failing mystery
From: Vance Dailey
It was suggested that I try to run dg_strace. I ran it on one
of the failing
uv processes. It generated a 1mb file. I can see where it
executes uvsh
and It fails just after the 7th occurance of RUN APP.PROGS
PACKAGE.INS.
(The 7th run is just after the string
SPECIAL.EDITOR.SELECT.DATA\OLONG.) I
have no idea how to read this file but I thought it might help identify
where the error occurred. I have included the very end of the output of
dg_strace below:
...
close(3)= 0
sigaction_svr3(SIGQUIT, {...}, {...}) = 1253
sigaction_svr3(SIGNULL, {...}, {0xc0a0d, [XCPU XFSZ],
SA_RESTART|SA_SIGINFO}) = 2130681856
...
This tool seems to be showing you the system calls that uvsh is making and
the values returned from them (the bit after the =). The section you have
shown is simply the program trying to tidy up and exit after detecting
something it didn't like. You'll need to look higher up in the output for a
system call which seems to return an error code. Unfortunately, you need to
know what sort of system calls should return 0 all the time and which ones
regularly return other values. I think I'd be looking at calls to sem...()
or shm...() functions that return non-zero and then using errmsg (if DG/UX
has that, or vi-ing /usr/include/sys/errno.h if it doesn't) to see what the
error numbers returned mean and man to interpret from that where the problem
lies.
I can't remember the exact numbers you quoted earlier, but certainly with
your user counts I'd be very suspicious of the reductions you made to the
semaphore kernel parameters. Just as a matter of interest, why were these
reductions made?
HTH,
Ken

However, if instead of using IF LOCATE() THEN, you simply use LOCATE() THEN it will work.

Re: InValid Characters
Tim, UD 6.0.6 (but, if I remember correctly, this was true on the release 5 that we came from as well, and our standard policy is to uninstall and re-install Unidata for a new release, which should have replaced CTLGTB). This being my first experience with the Unidata flavor, I thought it was standard behavior - annoying but standard. So, rather than set up what I thought was a non-standard synonym (and have to set up on all the customer machines as well, if one of my colleagues started using it), I was just avoiding editing lists.

I made secondary index CREATE. INDEX file field1 ... field6 BUILD.INDEX file field1 ... field6 This syntax creates builds six separate secondary index files, so that inserting a row in the main file will create probably between six and eighteen additional I/O operations to the multiple indices. Is this what you intended? If you actually wanted to create a single secondary index based on a concatenation of the first six fields, you need to create an I-type which does the concatenation, then index on the I-type. If you do need six separate secondary indices, maybe you need to look at where the index files are placed (different disk channel from main file,etc.) Another possibility is that the data is very 'clumpy' on one or more index fields, so that a large proportion of the records share the same value for that index. When UV comes to add a value to the index, it has to scan through a huge set of identical values and then put the new occurrence at the end: this gets exponentially slower. If the shared value is null, then re-creating your index/indices with NO.NULLS will help. If it's not null (maybe it's a month number, so all records fall into only twelve distinct values?), then you need to find some way of creating a more-unique (e.g. month and day) indexable value.

This is not the complete subroutine. Hope this helps ya. Scott Does anybody know if it is possible to send a wintegrate pop-up box to a different user, from either a unibasic program or a shell script? Specifically, if Fred is trying to access a record, which is locked by Barney, is it possible to have a pop-up box appear on Barney's screen? Currently, we send an email to Barney, which does not work well if Barney does not have his email client open. This is just one example. Our users are currently thinking up several more applications where they would like to do this, if it is possible. tia Charlie Rubeor Unix/Database Admin The Wiremold Company 800.338.1315 x3498 860.523.3690 fax À votre service -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Real Time Data Warehouse
So, I'm moving on from my encrypted database problem (that was put on hold) and now I have a new, interesting problem. I'm looking at a proposal that seems to demand a solution that is a cross between a data replication system and a data warehouse. The system needs to be able to Extract data from a feed up updates to specified Universe or jBASE files in real-time (once a minute, or so will suffice), do some Transformation on the data, then Load the data into a DB2 or SQL Server (not my implementation requirement... don't yell at me). During peak times, I'm supposing could be over a thousand updates per minute written to the data replication feed. I don't know if it's reasonable to expect this system to be able to handle that kind of throughput... that is to be determined. The rationale for the system is to allow people to use standard reporting, OLAP, and BI tools. In industry parlance, I think such a system is called a Real Time Data Warehouse (RTDW). So, here's where you can help... I'm brainstorming for design/implementation ideas. First, I'm trying to get the lay-of-the-land of tools and companies that can help with the ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) part of this project (is this what DataStage does?). Where do I look? Second, I'm searching for clever ideas about how to create and extract the data feed containing file updates -- such as leveraging UV-DR. I'd prefer to create the data replication feed in isolation from the ETL tool. Seeing as I'm a little lazy (and hoping we won't have to roll our own) I'd like to evaluate off-the-shelf solutions.

Tuning Tru64
Hello everybody, We are running Unidata 5.2 on AlphaServer ES45 Model 2 Operating System: Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A If we run sys_check it returns following suggestions. Virtual Memory and Swap Operational: Check the values of ubc-maxpercent, ubc-minpercent, ubc-borrowpercent, vm-ubcdirtypercent, vm-ubcseqpercent, and vm-ubcseqstartpercent settings. One or more of these attributes is not set correctly. Virtual Memory and Swap Operational: Check the values of vm-page-free-target, vm-page-free-optimal, vm-page-free-min, and vm-page-free-reserved settings. One or more of these attributes is not set correctly. Current values for thiese parameters are ubc-maxpercent = 100, ubc-minpercent = 10, ubc-borrowpercent = 20, vm-ubcdirtypercent = 40, vm-ubcseqpercent = 10, and vm-ubcseqstartpercent = 50 vm-page-free-target = 768, vm-page-free-optimal = 394, vm-page-free-min = 20 , and vm-page-free-reserved = 10 Please give me some suggestion on these parameters.

Re: Real Time Data Warehouse
Tom, Sixty to ninety days from now, I'll have a solution for you ::sigh:: I have the UniVerse side in my Tier I product (Zeus) but the SQL won't be until Tier II (in development) and I may or may not have the jBASE bits by then. You may want to look at writing a straight SQL read/write solution with UniVerse handling everything through phantoms. As to DataStage - we have a Stager or two on the list with us - I'm sure they'll be happy to respond. - Charles 'SQL is Dead, Dawn Said So, but I'm still adding it to my product' Barouch Tom Firl wrote: So, I'm moving on from my encrypted database problem (that was put on hold) and now I have a new, interesting problem.

Re: U2 System Guru
Convert the file to a Distributed File type where each part file can be up to 2GB. We had some distributed files with 40+ parts, yielding a 'logical' file of about 80GB. ken === In a message dated 2/9/2004 10:38:23 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Subj: U2 System Guru Date: 2/9/2004 10:38:23 PM Eastern Standard Time From: Phil Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: U2 Users Discussion List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent from the Internet (Details) Hello all, A client of mine is looking for a Universe on NT system expert.
