I'll answer part of this. We were having trouble with creating pipes and they asked us to turn off multi-threading as a possibility that it may have been a problem on our Linux server. The selects may have been taxing our resources. Most modern systems can handle multi-threading but some of the older systems may not. Since UV defaults to multi-threading you may have to turn it off.

Dreyfuss, Oliver, Wurlod, gurus all, My original request was for words of wisdom. History lessons count. The older I get, the more I value them. Thank-you. But I was more interested in the future (my own): - Why would I enable multi-threading? (UVTSORT 1) - Why would I disable multi-threading? (UVTSORT 0) - If "1" is always right, why did IBM make it configurable by the user? - What symptoms would make me suspect I have it wrong? - How would one test it? - Is there any documentation? Cherishing your every word, Chuck P.S. I'm anticipating upgrade to HP Itanium, HPUX11.23, UV 10.2.5. I assume multi-threading sorting applies there, although it wasn't stated. -----Original Message----- From: LeRoy Dreyfuss Thx Mr. Oliver. I recall our pal Pete Simonson telling me that some years ago. Just didn't want to stick my neck too far out without some caution :-) -----Original Message----- From: Clifton Oliver Yes. According to my conversations with DG, the project was referred to as "Firestorm" and had DG's affinity throughout. > Not sure, but I believe VMark had DG do the actual development for > affinity. ------- 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/
