For SuSE, I had to remove all the options to cpio.
Note also, that when it tries to set up the daemon to autostart on boot,
that fails also because SuSE uses a different /etc/rc.d setup. That
needs manually fixing, because you can't run uv as a user unless uvd is
running.

Hello,

Martin,
I did the same recently. Not only did i retire my PI/Open docs but all
of my old PI material dating back to my days prior to working at Prime
when I was at Standard Data Systems, one of the original PI dealers .
However the memories will always be with me...

Interesting. I'm seeing a similar error on W2K with UD6.0.12 when we have
the prompt login path ticked in the telnet config in UniAdmin. Occasionally
when logging in and entering a new path we get an error.
I'd be interested to know what the resolution is.
Thanks

HI All,
Before doubling you swap space, check to see how much you are using at your busy
times. We have an 8 Gig system, and a 6 Gig pool:

He's got 4Gb of ram. If he overflows that by JUST ONE BYTE, if he was

If you do not have twice ram as swap, you only need to use ONE BYTE of
swap space and the linux algorithm will shit itself trying to cope. The
algorithm does not work very we

Thanks for mentioning the U2 & .NET white paper. It was encouraging to see

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking but all it does is create a
"virtual" view of the data into 1nf tables that Excel (in this case) sees
and understands.
Note: I have only done this with UniData and D3 and I know UniVerse does it
a little differently.

To my knowledge, no. Not in Universe anyway. I *think* (from the docs,

ODBC/JDBC, but UniVerse does not. Multivalues work fine, but it doesn't
go any lower than that.
Best answer: don't use sub-values. They're evil, anyway.

We spent a fair bit of time building our schema so that the data appears to

that are pretty impressive and would have required a number of basic

there is a high level of commitment to the CR/GP/.NET links.
