Research @UDTHOME. We have 6 separate instances of Unidata environments on one box. After a user logs in, a shell script asks them what environment they want to go to. Then the shell script sets $UDTHOME at a UNIX level before executing udt. The VOC pointers in each environment are identical using @UDTHOME. So you can have the exact same file structures underneath a different starting point. For instance, our development environment has /mccbase1/udthome1 as $UDTHOMME. Our Systems and Acceptance environment has /mccbase2/udthome2. Our training environment has /mccbase4/udthome4. Each environment has its own 'sys' directory for the Global Catalog. But the 'bin' is symbolically linked in every environment to the same place /unidata/ud71/bin.
We have a 'cron' process that delivers software to each of these environments on an hourly basis. We use the GLobal Catalog for all production software. So when something gets checked into production, it also gets delivered to the Global catalogs for each environment. Programs that are being worked on use DIRECT catalogs in the VOC. That way we can easily identify what programs are not production versions in any of the test environments. When a programs gets checked into production, the process to deliver that program to the Global Catalog, also removes and Direct catalog references in all environments. Let me know if you need more help. - Rod -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andy Pflueger Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 5:00 AM To: U2 User Group Mailing List Subject: [U2] [UD] Separate catalog space & 2 instances of Unidata installed Hi, We are in the early planning stages of building a new dev/test box and would like some feedback on how best to setup Unidata with 2 instances (dev & test) with separate catalog spaces as an ultimate goal. Is this even possible on the same box? Oh, and we're planning to goto Unidata 7.1.0 on this new box as well which will run Solaris 8. I was hoping someone out there has done this and could send some simple procedures on how to make this happen...or should I just RTM as I haven't honestly done that yet. :-) Thanks in advance, Andy Pflueger Application Developer Ivy Hill - Louisville, KY -- The Linux philosophy is 'Laugh in the face of danger'.
