Windows 2003/ UV 10 and GCI routines
We are working with a client who decided they really wanted to go to Windows 2003 server. After an inquiry about 3 months ago on the list and a check with IBM it was determined they needed to upgrade to Universe 10.x. They obtained the latest version and we began the migration of the application from the Windows NT/UV 9.4 environment. We managed to muddle through everything until we hit the set of about a dozen c-modules which we thought we registered as GCI routines the same way we had done it in NT/UV 9.4 and which has always worked in previous platforms. Looking in catdir they appear as expected. But a curious bit when using MAP to view the modules. They do not show any size or, for that matter, any other information in any but the first column out of the last 6 of the MAP report. I don't know if that has any importance. But the problem is when we launch the first program that tries to do an initialization calling the first GCI we get the message Invalid GCI subroutine. Has something changed with regard to how GCI routines are registered or run in either Windows 2003 or Universe 10? We do not have the source code available to recompile these if that is what is needed in the end. -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: UV on Itanium
Or go for a new IBM servr running on Power G5. There was an interesting article on the Inquirer or the Register (can't remember which) asking whether the purpose of Itanium has been achieved, and whether it is likely to be ditched in the near future. The gist of it, basically, was that the Alpha and R4000 (and other similar chips) seriously outclassed Intel. So by bringing a 64-bit chip to market, Intel has pretty much hampered the market, killed Alpha and mips, and seriously crippled Sparc. Their two threats in the 64-bit space are now primarily the AMD Opteron, and the IBM G5. There's not a lot they can do about IBM, but their top-end Xeons or whatever have actually been 64-bit capable for quite a while now. So by delaying 64-bit x86, Intel now have more to lose than to gain. They also won't want competition between Itanium and x86-64. So guess what - Itanium will be reclassified as a research product and scrapped. Add in the fact that AMD is apparently selling more Opterons a quarter than Intel has ever sold in total, and Opteron really does look like the iceberg that sank the Itanic (as Itanium is irreverently called :-) While I don't doubt we'll never see it happen, if we had fair competition between chips, the Itanic would already have sunk without trace. It *still* can't compete effectively with old EV7 alphas, and the new Power will flatten it. Sparc should flatten it too, but the realities of the world mean that Sparc cheetah has already been flattened between the elephants of IBM and Intel :-( Maybe linux will, once more, succeed in decoupling software from hardware and lead to true competition in the hardware market ...

I would hope they're working on a similar fix for linux. It didn't occur to me before, but I guess you could also run UV 10.1 on Windows Server 2003 on Itanium. Personally I'd wait to see if Intel comes up with a 32-bit Itanium driver enhancement for linux, or consider Opteron or Intel's new 64-bit version of Xeon as has already been suggested. -John -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users *** This transmission is intended for the named recipient only.

In the University environment, with users distributed all across campus, I really don't want unencrypted user names, passwords, and sensitive data on the wire. Good, free packet sniffers are all to easy to come by. I've never tried it, but it should be possible with a Windows SSH client that supports tunneling setup. Here's an example of how to tunnel SMB shares: http://www.csuglab.cornell.edu/Info/ssh-smb.html -John -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
RE: UniVerse on NT vs *nix
I am running UniData on Win 2003. I have to reboot quite often. It is a Mickey Mouse system with little dog animations accompanying file searches. It produces blue screens with Visual Studio.NET IDE. Requires permanently patches that it downloads on it own, some that demand a reboot. I only run it because my clients are dabbling in it and I need to have an educated opinion. I strongly discourage you. It is crap. Not to be compared to AIX. Plus there are serious privacy and security issues. Apart from giving me a dog show when I search for a file in my file system, I also send Internet traffic to sa.windows.com. That's right, every time you search something, Bill wants to know. Whoever demands Windows Server 2003 should indemnify you from the consequences. Otherwise you might hold the bag. My humble opinion.

We have licenses for 320 users and do get up to this number at times although 300 is more normal. We run up to 30 phantom processes during the day above this interactive user count. At times these would be running in parallel, processing sections of our customer base. This is a daily event during the afternoon whilst other users are doing normal work. Currently we run UniVerse 10.0.11 on an IBM p660 with 4 cpus and 7Gb ram. We also run Oracle and Vantive on this same box which is why the ram is so high. We transfer data between UniVerse and Oracle real time using BCI OpenLink. The reverse is an in-house Oracle Pipes development which is gradually being replaced by UniObjects for Java. I anticipate we would need to run these applications on separate boxes if under Windows 2003. Our DBAs, both UniVerse and Oracle, are reluctant to go down this path as they believe they will not have the same ability to monitor their systems. I would appreciate comments, good and bad, from anyone with experience of this number of users in an Windows environment. Email me off-line if this seems appropriate.

Re: Formating Negative Numbers
Don't know of FMT direct, but I use (excerpt from a current data transfer prog): IF TOT.TAX GE 0 THEN LH16 = TOT.TAX R26(%10) END ELSE LH16 = '-':TOT.TAX R26(%9) END Rainer Quoting Phil Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Does anyone have a quick way to format a negative number in a field filled with zeros such that the '-' sign appears at the front replacing the 1st zero. For example -2using 'R%6' becomes -2 2 using 'R%6' becomes 02 But I would like -2 to become -2 and 2 to remain 02. I know I could write code to do this, but I was wondering if you can do it just using the fmt syntax.
