RE: Help Needed regarding performance improvement of delete query
And replying to Scott's post to say thanks for the compliment, but I've just had another idea ... How many fields are you using for your select on the master file? ESPECIALLY if it's just the date, trans that across to your secondary file, and index it! If it's more than one field, try and work out a usable trans that will pull all the fields across in one index that you can run a select over. Don't forget, declaring an index means that that data is stored in the file, whether it was calculated, trans'd, or was in the file anyway. So now you can do a select and purge on your secondary file without ever having to go near the primary, and the database will take care of making sure all the required information is available as it's needed ... :-) Cheers, Wol -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Richardson Sent: 15 March 2004 13:08 To: U2 Users Discussion List Subject: Re: Help Needed regarding performance improvement of delete query Great points from Wol, as always. What kind of /tmp disk space do you have on this system? (Assuming that /tmp is where UV does some of it's SELECT scratch pad intermediate writing when processing large queries, consult your sites actual uvconfig for all of your actual values...). If this /tmp is small, single physical disk, or heavily fragmented, this would also contribute to poor query runtime performance. Ditto on your system's swap space, which should be at least 2X physical memory. Wol's approach of breaking down the query into selecting smaller groups of data is a great one. Chip away at the stone, methodically, consistently, and constantly. What platform is this on? What OS version? What UV Version? How much memory disk space? How much /tmp and swap space? Are you running this query with other users on the system, who may be also trying to access the files this query is working with? Are you runing this at night when it might conflict with a backup operation? More food for thought.

Firstly, of course, is your file properly sized? Secondly, (and in this case you will need to run the SELECT / DELETE sequence several times) try putting a SAMPLE 1000 (or whatever number makes sense) at the end of your select. Basically, this will mean that the SELECT runs until it finds that number of records and then stops. So each sequence won't load the system so badly. Creating a huge select list will stress your ram badly ... looping through this sequence won't stress the system so badly, though you really do need to use indices to reduce the stress even more ... Create an index on various fields that you're using as your select criteria. If you're selecting old records, then you need to select on date, and this really will make life both easy and fast. The more closely you can guarantee that a select, acting on a single index, will pick up only or mostly records that you are going to delete, the better. That will SERIOUSLY reduce the time taken and the performance hit.

RE: Terminology
Not really. MTBF means it'll run for 10 minutes without falling over. SLA can mean anything. If I was an office manager, I might well say (indeed, it's pretty much our internal SLA) that our systems will be guaranteed available between 8am and 6pm. So I can have 14 hours downtime a day, and still meet my 100% availability guarantee to my end users :-) Doesn't quite work that way of course :-) with offices in New York and Hong Kong, that available between 8 and 6 guarantee means that I only have a few hours when I can take the system out ... :-) But basically, all an SLA is, is a statement that service will be available within certain (acceptable to both sides) constraints. Whether time when it's available, or possibly response times (eg we can't run heavy maintenance tasks at certain times because the users will curse us etc etc).

RE: Terminology
Our help desk group has an SLA with the business as a whole which describes the hours of coverage (when they will man the phones), the relative manpower for given times of the day/week, and some guarantees about how quickly they will process an issue once it's been entered into their computer. Metrics just means measurements. Meaningful, predefined things that can be tracked and measured to see if the team is meeting their SLA, or if they're falling short of what they agreed to provide. They track all sorts of metrics regarding each ticket. Was it resolved by the person taking the phone call? Was it resolved by the next level up? How many days did it sit before someone processed it? How quickly did it reach final resolution? Stuff like that. They generate reams of reports that managers somewhere get all hot bothered over. The help desk managers love to spin the numbers to make them look like the most effective efficient thing on the planet. The Operations team (traveling technicians, etc.) does the same thing for their work tickets. Was the problem resolved remotely? How many hours did the tech spend on-site.

Re: CLEANUP problem
Marco, We just had this happen on Monday on Unidata 6.0.8 on AIX 5.1, we were told to run udtdiag to colloect data about the state of Unidata and stop and restart Unidata. There is no other way. Here is what Unidata support told us: This is very difficult to chase down. Usually associated with killing a process. Some structures are left in the lock table (usually at a lower level than record or group locks - structures that control access to parts of this table. I do not know of any way to clear this situation without restarting the database. With the dump, we have a chance to review the structures. Without a way to force this situation, it is very difficult to figure out the cause of the problem and fix it. The good news/bad news is that it is very rare. Good that it doesn't happen much. Bad in that we have very little data to review to try to fix it. After running udtdiag: It creates a directory you name as an argument and dumps stuff there. One of the things it dumps is an image of the lock table along with the tool to analyze it (they have to match - saves us from reinstalling a specific version of UniData here to analyze the dump). You would then need to tar that up, compress it and ftp to: testcase.boulder.ibm.com:/software/toibm/informix And let us know the name of the file you posted. Good luck.

UNCLASSIFIED RE: D3 Automatic Faxing
Mark, The last time I did this (it was quite a few years ago) we used an old PC running some free (or very cheap) software that acted as a fax gateway. The software may even have been called 'faxgate'. We created a text file in a directory the gateway could see, it found the file, set up the fax from the information in the text file and pre-stored templates, and sent it. We used it to send out purchase orders and payment advices. I'll forward this to the person who actually did all the work, he may be able to cast a little more light on it. I don't work there anymore so my memory is a bit rusty! :-) HTH Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Johnson Sent: Wednesday, 17 March 2004 07:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: D3 Automatic Faxing Dear All: One of my clients, D3, unix Terian Whitebox Pick server (?) would like to have his system generate roughly 100 faxes per day for invoices and purchase orders.

since it's runing unix, chances are you can setup hylafax which will do what is needed., works off the same principle as faxaway you send an email (locally) and hylafax goes from there.

We autofax reports from a HP-UX, UV9.5 box.

Re: D3 Automatic Faxing
I don't know if it runs on D3 or not. Ask Esker Software (U.S. 800-556-4874). We use this product over 2 faxes. We routinely send between 150 to 300 faxes a day and over 600 at Month-End. I monitor it with a 'roll-my-own' package I wrote and it seems quite okay so far. There are NT-based (NTFS required) monitoring and admin tools that are supposed to be nice, but since I run Linux as my desktop OS, I haven't bothered using those tools. I don't know if anyone else is using this product or not.

It looks like you are using SPECIAL and STARTPOS as paired dummy buffers to walk across the SPECIAL.PARTS, each iteration only searching the remainder from where you left off.

Re: Looking for associated multi-value algorithm...
Perhaps the most glaring problem here is the level of the LOCATE. Since SPECIAL.PARTS is a value and thus possibly multi-valued, the ,STARTPOS indicator suggests to the LOCATE to look at the first subvalue of the value'd. Somehow, especially since STARTPOS isn't previously defined, it become zero and 1,0 is the same as 1 which may accidentally satisfiy the LOCATE. Remove the commaSTARTPOS from the in the LOCATE and the STARTPOS=SPECIAL+1 as they don't contribute anything. Also, this looks like a FIFO/LIFO algorithm. What are the failures if the qtys don't match. The LOCATE should eliminate the FOR...NEXT loop unless you have the PART.NBR in the 12 more than once. In any case, the FOR...NEXT is is useless. If the PART.NBR is in 12 more than once, use FOR...NEXT and do a simple equals test on 12. I don't believe that LOCATE can find occurrences of PART.NBR after the first one it finds. At least using numbers inside the . Perhaps LOCATE X in Y1,STARTPOS on the outside. I don't use it. FInally, if it's any contribution (and it's my purely non-technical opinion). Remove all the extraneous uses of the prefix SPECIAL. That makes it hard to read as all the variables start with SPECIAL and it's hard to identify their purpose quickly. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but it does make it more readable. PARTS=SPECIAL.REC12 C.PARTS=DCOUNT(PARTS,VM) QTYS=SPECIAL.REC14 ; PRICES=SPECIAL.REC16 QTEMP=0 FOR I=1 TO C.PARTS IF PARTS1,I=PART.NBR THEN QTY=QTYS1,I IF QTY QTY.REQUESTED AND QTY QTEMP THEN DATA.OUT=OCONV(PRICES1,I,MDP)R#12 QTEMP=QTY END END NEXT I my 2 cents.

RE: Looking for associated multi-value algorithm...
Group: My apologies for top-posting this - but for those who have already read 6 other variations on this code, it would be a pain to page down below the original request, and for those who have not seen the original request, it would be a pain to have to go find it. There are as many good ways to code this as there are programmers - here is what I would do, preserving the variables as much as possible because I assume this code fragment fits into a larger program and you don't want to have to modify the whole program. STARTPOS = 1 ; * Set the first value to be checked! SPECIAL.VAL = ; * Assuming that you will want this later on eg to decrement the qty if ordered, reserve it, etc. SPECIAL.FROM.QTY.TEMP = 0 SPECIAL.PARTS = SPECIAL.REC12 LOOP LOCATE PART.NBR IN SPECIAL.PARTS1,STARTPOS SETTING SPECIAL ELSE SPECIAL = UNTIL SPECIAL = DO SPECIAL.FROM.QTY = SPECIAL.REC14,SPECIAL IF SPECIAL.FROM.QTY QTY.REQUESTED THEN IF SPECIAL.FROM.QTY.TEMP SPECIAL.FROM.QTY THEN SPECIAL.FROM.QTY.TEMP = SPECIAL.FROM.QTY SPECIAL.VAL = SPECIAL ; * the value for the part number desired with the greatest qty at or above desired qty END END STARTPOS = SPECIAL + 1 REPEAT IF SPECIAL.VAL = THEN DATA.OUT = Part :PART.NBR:, Qty :QTY.REQUESTED: not found. ; * or other error logic... END ELSE SPECIAL.PART.PRICE = SPECIAL.REC16,SPECIAL.VAL ; * You only need to do this once at the end! DATA.OUT = OCONV(SPECIAL.PART.PRICE,MDP)R#12 END RETURN Susan M. Lynch F.W. Davison Company, Inc.

RE: D3 Automatic Faxing
If you would consider a commercial product, and have a Windows PRO (or better) machine in the environment, you might consider our WordLynx/ FaxLynx combo. Invoices, statements, orders etc produced via WORD templates (easy for client to change, include new graphics etc) and can then be faxed add MailLynx to the mix and they can be emailed as well if you need .PDF for publishing to web, just add Acrobat to the mix You can download evals, manuals etc from http://www.stamina.com.au/Products/LynxProducts/Products_Downloads.htm Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage an Evolution in Software Development -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Johnson Sent: Wednesday, 17 March 2004 5:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: D3 Automatic Faxing Dear All: One of my clients, D3, unix Terian Whitebox Pick server (?) would like to have his system generate roughly 100 faxes per day for invoices and purchase orders.
