The threaded sort this speaks of (tsort) was originally introduced into UniVerse for DG systems back in the day. Not sure, but I believe VMark had DG do the actual development for affinity. However, for 10.1, U2 development looked at areas where they could improve UniVerse that would also fit within the scope of the development they were doing at the time. UVTSORT was one such enhancement.
After looking at operating systems where the function calls were supported, U2 development implemented this for those specific platforms. For those not supporting this feature, this parameter has no effect. Most of your latest and greatest platforms would have this feature enabled, though I believe it was not enabled for SCO (10.1 supported does not support OpenServer 6.0, which in of itself probably does support the ability). If memory serves, this parameter has the capability of creating up to 20 tsort processes for a single SSELECT or SORT operation.

Admin manual says: UVTSORT The value of this parameter can be either 1 or 0. A value of 1 enables multithreaded sort. A value of 0 disables multithreaded sort. I don't see any further discussion of it than that. Does anyone have any words of wisdom? cds ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
