Actually, this method has been in the documentation for at least 10 years.

Re: [UV] READ READU on a part file belonging to a Distributed file
At 09:32 PM 04/06/2004, you wrote: Under Universe if I attempt to read a record (using READ) from a part file but using a key which actually maps (via the partitioning algorithm) to a different part file - then the READ just takes the ELSE clause without setting STATUS() to anything. Because within the run machine, a plain old READ just simply tries to read the record id out of the file you passed in. The run machine Fread function, calls DBread, which then calls the low level DBfind routine, which will simply not locate the record in the group it should belong in and (internally) returns a 7 back up to the run machine Fread function. Unfortunately, the Fread code won't set STATUS for a 7 (looks like a coding deficiency). I'm assuming that universe code still looks fairly much the same here. Altering the program to use READU instead of READ and the ELSE clause is still taken - but this time STATUS() is set to 2. Knowing how READ works, READU believe it or not, works slightly differently. The Freadu function calls DBreadLock, which actually DOES check to see if you are working within a partfile. If you are, then it makes certain that the key you want actually should exist in the file. If it does, then dandy. If not, it (internally) returns a 37 back up to the Freadu code, which correctly sets the STATUS based on that. Looking in the Universe Basic manual I can't find mention of what a STATUS() value of 2 means in relation to a READU statement (although it does say -2 (negative 2) signifies the part number is invalid. I checked ED.B and COPY.B in the uv BP file, and both of these programs specifically check for a STATUS() value of 1 or 2 after doing a READU and then display an appropriate error message relating to part files and distributed files. 1 = bad partfile algorithm 2 = no part file / not in partfile 3 = unmappable record id (NLS only) 4 = unmappable record data (NLS only) What I can't understand is why the READ (without setting a lock) doesn't return the same STATUS(). How am I supposed to determine that the reason the record wasn't found was due to key being invalid and not just because it didn't exist? Now you know why.

The '|' symbol in front of (or behind) the command determines whether the process is opened for input or output. You can then use WRITESEQ or READSEQ to communicate with the external unix/windows program which reads its STDIN or writes to its STDOUT.

Re: Installing universe as uvadm
Actually, you don't really INSTALL as non-root. The idea of uvadm is that it is an ADMINISTRATOR, thus, your initial root install sets the product up so that internally uvadm can administer all facets of the product without the need of su-ing to root. The fact remains that you still need to INSTALL as root, since there are certain things that need touching, ie. /.uvhome, /etc/services, /etc/rc.X directories, etc. The DataStage version I now work with DOES allow complete non-root installation (no longer uses /.uvhome or touches system files) by ANY user (no uvadm limitation) as well as allowing multiple versions (even the same version!) to run on a single server, as I have rewritten all that so root is no longer necessary. So, install AS root, but designate uvadm as your administrator. Hope this helps. At 02:11 AM 03/15/2004, you wrote: I am trying to install UNIVERSE 9.5 as uvadm user on AIX 5.

RE: COUNT modifying unix timestamp
I believe there is. There is a UNIVERSE.INCLUDE file FILEINFO.H which includes a definition of what would be in each dynamic array field when using: FILEINFO(Fvar, 99) or FILEINFO(Fvar, FINFO$HDRLAYOUT) For example if you executed: FileInfo = FILEINFO(Fvar, 99) you'd have: FileInfo1 = File revision level FileInfo2 = Modulus FileInfo3 = Separation etc etc etc The count field updated in the file header would be FileInfo112. Note that some fields are bitmapped and none of that is detailed. Each of the fields makes more sense if you know what actually exists within a universe file header.

RE: UV write fatal error
Hmmm. It's a very curious situation. Your data doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary (though it's neat about your munging). Have you tried using the blook utility to scan through the btree file to see if anything is out of the ordinary? From the OS level, just issue blook without any parameters to get its syntax and options: Usage: blook [options] file +a address display nodes from addr to end -a address display node at addr -d display record keys and data -k display record keys -i keylist display item key only -n disable auto pagination -r traverse descending (default ascending) -s generate statistics -v verify file integrity: no details -V verify file integrity: detailed report Environment variable interaction: LINES to control display depth COLS to control display width You might want to direct the output to a file then peruse it with your fav editor. I wrote this utility when I was implementing the secondary index files. Maybe you might be able to figure out what the heck is causing your troubles, pay close attention to see if maybe your inserted data might fall at the boundary of a node and a split is aborting.

Re: UV command failing mystery
The 'uv' command is basically a small front ender to the 'uvsh' executable, which is really the guts of universe. The uv command does little more (for universe) then to check ulimit settings, increasing them when necessary, then issuing an execve() call to uvsh. If you bypass 'uv' and just use 'uvsh', does the problem still occur? Your universe configurables seem reasonable, as well as your kernel params, but I do recall an issue whereby the OS would disallow exec's (and /or forks) due to system resource exhaustion, although it has been a while and I cannot recall the details.

I realize this might be a touchy topic but it's one I've been wondering about for some time. the ProVerb manual makes it sound like procs were a migration tool of sorts. Paragraphs are only slightly more efficient than a proc for the simple reason that a line within a paragraph is first scanned for any inline prompting, then immediately handed off to the command line execution process, whereas a proc must first interpretively assemble the command line then, when the P command is found, hands it off to the command line execution process (which of course scans for any inline prompting). Think of a paragraph as simply a stack of command lines executed in order (albeit with some testing/branching logic). Think of a proc as... well.. cryptic... *S* With processor speeds being what they are today, I doubt very much that the minute speed differences matter much (IMO). The reason uv proc was considered a migration tool is that within the original implementation of uv, there was no pick support (only ideal and prime flavors). It was envisioned that people would migrate those nasty, cryptic procs (which by the way, I DO not consider nasty) to paragraphs. Only hitch was that paragraphs did not support all the functionality available with procs (jump backwards to labels, error handling, etc...) so a proc processor was created. Granted, it was not 100% compatible with Pick (see other thread related to proc error handling), but it certainly eased those migrations (i was involved in quite a few of them back in the 80s).

Bear in mind that the -1 syntax was an accident - as originally implemented the search mechanism simply decremented to zero or the end of the string, and some bright spark realised that if you started with a negative number then it would always hit the end of the string rather than zero. So the counter-intuitive result that appending null to null gives null isn't so strange. This behaviour is probably copied from original Pick. We get round it by initialising the variable to *, and then doing a DEL 1 when we've finished.

Universe does NOT insert non-significant nulls. In other words your first two (A-1 = '') do not do anything! It is consistent in its' behaviour as you can count on it to do the above. It has done this as long as I remember. I found this out through bitter experience.
