Re: U2 System Guru
If the file is corrupt, you need the file repaired, then distributed. Fixing the file can be a real bear at the 2GB limit because of group truncation and other issues. After you get that part solved (I could do it for you if you don't have local help and don't mind telecommuting administration), You can visit http://ourldsfamily.com/mypapers/dist.html for instructions on distributing files.

Re: U2 System Guru
The system was an IBM RS6000 with about 100-130 active users. The 80GB file actually had about 40GB of data in it (to allow for growth, as previously mentioned). These were usually large historical sales analysis files, where the worst file contained every invoice line item for the last 5-7 years. I'm sorry, but I do not remember the exact number of records, but in was clearly in the millions. ken === In a message dated 2/9/2004 11:24:05 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am curious.

Re: U2 System Guru
Convert the file to a Distributed File type where each part file can be up to 2GB. We had some distributed files with 40+ parts, yielding a 'logical' file of about 80GB. ken === In a message dated 2/9/2004 10:38:23 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Subj: U2 System Guru Date: 2/9/2004 10:38:23 PM Eastern Standard Time From: Phil Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: U2 Users Discussion List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent from the Internet (Details) Hello all, A client of mine is looking for a Universe on NT system expert.
