RE: VOC corruption
Hi Ray, I have just switched it on now. I didn't realise you could turn it on and off like that. Thanks David The file is sized pretty well and is a type 11 Thanks Wol, I have had engineers go through all the hardware logs to no avail. There was a couple of small glitches during the last episode but the recommendations of the engineers re: replacement of hardware were heeded and the appropriate replacements were done. Problem has re-occurred since then I'll keep a close eye on the error logs from Universe to see if they can help. In the meantime, I have saved the VOC away each hour and hopefully this will allow a quick recovery if it happens again.

After months of sporadic file corruption episodes, they finally had their hardware folks come out and check over the system (one of the first things our support group had suggested, of course). They had memory boards seated in improper slots. Once they correctly re-seated the memory boards - all file corruption issues ceased. Even though the hardware diagnostic programs for this platform reported no errors - it is always prudent to check hardware. Anything that interrupts a clean movement of a block of data from memory to the physical disk platters could result in database file corruption.

The first incident was tracked back to the possibility of errors on the SAN. Hardware was replaced and the file has been resized (I assume by this it has also been moved to a different area on the disk or disks) The following incident has no hardware indications in any log thus making it a little hard to trace where the issue occurred. The customer is, understandably, concerned this may happen again as unfortunately both incidents have had a major impact on their business. I am curious to find if any other sites have had a similar issue. Both incidents were backward link errors in the same items. As noted above, the file was resized between incidents and I assume is now in a different area on the SAN. I have found nothing to date in any log on the system. Any suggestions are welcome.

RE: [UV] Problem reactivating select list
Hi John, I think the problem you are seeing is a result of the EXECUTE command being executed in a separate shell or workspace. It can't see your select list. There are a couple of ways around this, use the PASSLIST keyword in the EXECUTE command (that is for ideal flavour, your mileage may vary according to your own flavour. It is all documented in the manual 8-)) or use a SAVE-LIST and then use the DATA statement to stack a GET-LIST command before you execute your ED statement.

I'm just writing a before and after version of an edited record to a temp file and comparing afterwards. All seemed fine until one of my coworkers informed me he could no longer use X to drop back to TCL after editing from a select list. This was due to the fact that I was processing the select list in the wrapper program and just executing ED once for each record. For X to work as it used to, I need to write out all the selected records at the beginning, let ED process the select list, then go back through the list again for comparison. snip Disclaimer.

Write a little program that reads next from a list of file names, opens each file in turn and then use the status statement to return a dynamic array of info about the file.

Multiple fields (or columns if you insist) in the Universe database? What is this PICK you keep talking about? Universe doesn't have a component named PICK, there is certainly a flavour. That is your choice to use it, you are not compelled to. How do we know you are comparing apples with apples? How were your indexes structured? I haven't seen Universe Standards for indexing. Please elucidate on this as I am obviously ignorant in this area. Unfortunately your claims are now starting to fluctuate between the fantastic and the ludicrous.

MV environments (including UniVerse), allow for small teams to develop and adjust business rules more quickly than you can you can in Oracle, Sybase, or Informix. Published statistics show that MV environments are roughly twice as efficient in disk usage (smaller footprint means faster searches - forget the 'who cares, disk is cheap' argument, search speed is always a premium issue). MV environments are typically three times as efficient on CPU and memory usage. That means that a given system running an MV environment is triple the speed of a Big Three database even when you ignore search speed. Also, since Datastage is one of the best data warehousing systems in the world (and it has a common ancestry to the U2 technology), you can be assured that MV environments make excellent data marts, data warehouses, and data repositories.

RE: 2 gig limits
It would have to be a 64bit file, there are no exceptions as this is a limitation brought on by the size of a number. (I think a couple of earlier posters had the numbers involved) therefore you literally cannot create a file larger than 2Gb with 32 bit addressing. We have a substantial number of files over 2Gb and haven't had any issue with converting to or using 64bit files. If you expect a file to be 2Gb then just CREATE.FILE FILE.NAME type modulo separation OTHER.PARAMS 64BIT or if it is an existing file RESIZE FILE.NAME new.type new.module new.separation 64BIT will convert it in a trice (or two).

RE: 2 gig limits
Hi Dan, We can use filepeek quite happily on our 64bit files. Do you mean uvfixfile? I know that has restrictions and cannot be used on 64bit files. The parameter in the uvconfig file is 64BIT. If this is set to 1, all files are created by default as 64bit files.

On a system with 32-bit addressing, the limit applied to all files, including backup images (at least to disk - I'm not certain about on tape drives, although I'd assume so). Now, we have 64-bit addressing, so the upper limit is in the pentabyte range. UniVerse and Unidata still have a default configuration parameter of 32-bit addressing. This parameter is easily changed to 64. Currently, the cost associated with going to 64-bit addressing for UniVerse Unidata is the loss of a particular tool which is useful in repairing file corruption, filepeek. File corruption is pretty rare, but not unheard of, especially as hardware fails. By going to a scheme like RAID0+1 with transaction logging, you probably won't miss (watch the thread this starts...) filepeek. As an aside, reducing the amount of data in overflow reduces the risk of corruption, by minimizing the number of links, which are failure points. So you can enable U2 64-bit addressing in the (udt/uv)config file, which will then make the limit a historical curiosity. Or you can use dynamic files (although at the most - with a lot of luck - this gives you 4Gb), or in UniVerse you can use distributed files, which imho are a better choice anyway, making the size of a file limited only by your disk drive budget.

Hi David, I would be checking the timeout value (field 6) in the unirpcservices file. I have cut and pasted the appropriate bits out of the manual. This is available at http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/u2/pubs/library/100univ/univ_100.ht ml the manual that you need is the Administrative Supplement for Client APIs Hope this is of assistance. Regards About the unirpcservices File Each process that uses the UniRPC automatically configures the unirpcservices file when it first starts up. If no unirpcservices file exists, it is created in the unishared directory. On UNIX systems the default location of this file is /usr/ibm/unishared/unirpc. On Windows NT systems the default location is drive:\ibm\unishared\unirpc. To determine the location of the unirpcservices file on your system, do the following: On UNIX systems, execute the command: $ cat /.unishared On Windows NT systems, find the registry entry under the subkey \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ibm\unishared. When a client system requests a connection to a service on a server system, the UniRPC daemon (unirpcd) on the server uses the unirpcservices file to verify that the client system can start the requested service. The UniRPC software uses field 3 of the unirpcservices file to verify that a machine making a request for a service is allowed to do so. The following table lists the fields in the unirpcservices file: UniVerse Systems On UniVerse systems the unirpcservices file might contain entries such as the following: uvnet /usr/ibm/uv/bin/uvnetd host1,host2,host3 TCP/IP 3 3600 uvdrsrv /usr/ibm/uv/bin/uvdrsrvd * TCP/IP 0 3600 uvcs /usr/ibm/uv/bin/uvapi_server * TCP/IP 0 3600 uvfilefix /usr/ibm/uv/bin/uvfilefix_server * TCP/IP 0 3600 uvserver /usr/ibm/uv/bin/uvsrvd * TCP/IP 0 3600 The version of uv.rc shipped with UniVerse systems (/usr/ibm/uv/sample/uv.rc) contains commands that: Check for the existence of the unirpcservices file Verify that services are defined in it Start the UniRPC daemon if the file contains services The UniRPC daemon is executed as part of the UniVerse reboot procedure Field Contents 1 The name of the UniRPC service (for example, uvserver). 2 The full pathname of the service engine executed by the UniRPC daemon. 3 The names of nodes allowed to execute this service.

The open statement in the program is the same, only the name changes. The ability to put the parts on different file systems, balancing the load is another that springs to mind. The ability to split a file into manageable chunks is another. Some of our tables are starting to stretch toward the 20Gb mark and to split these into manageable chunks makes for reasonable resizing times etc. The individual parts can be resized at different times. The ability to split your data according to your own algorithm is especially useful. With multi-data part files, I don't believe you could address the complete file as one, other than that, the other points I have made are still applicable. I suppose distributed files are easier to deal with from the application point of view. If your distribution algorithm is reasonably well balanced the records will be placed evenly over the individual parts. Even if they are not, eg. you use say, a branch code as thekey, you don't have to worry about opening up the correct multi-part, the system will automatically do that for you.
