Chris:
Seconding Susan's comment...
Although we only have a single UV server, we use a SANDBOX account for
testing new applications. Thus an end-user or programmer would type at
the UV command prompt...
> LOGTO SANDBOX
and
>LOGTO LIVE to get back
Some program screens (like the main menu) identify SANDBOX so that
people are able to see where they are.
The UniBasic source code is in a single folder that can be seen by both
the LIVE and the SANDBOX accounts. Without having to do anything extra,
LIVE and SANDBOX each have their own independent VOC accounts. Invoking
a revision identifier in the program name such as
In the LIVE account
> ED VOC NEW.PROGRAM
>PA
>RUN BP NEW.PROGRAM.R1
In the SANDBOX account
> ED VOC NEW.PROGRAM
>PA
>RUN BP NEW.PROGRAM.R2
Data can be copied from LIVE to SANDBOX periodically.
The second server could perhaps be used as a live hot spare.

Hi Chris,
I can't help myself - everyone knows it. Just like most know that I
have a version control / deployment product for U2 that I could be
trying to plug.
And if you are interested I'd be happy to talk to you about it. (There
ya go
- plugged!) But whatever you will do to manage your promotions to live
I really very strongly recommend that you not run some programs off of
the dev server!
Why not copy the program to the live server and compile and catalog it
there? Keep a very strong border between dev and live! Papers required
to cross! The idea of having some programs running out of DEV and some
not...
well, it strikes me as a "situation" waiting for its moment!
Let me know if I can help...

Hello,
We're running UniVerse 10.1.8 on our main server and we just bought
another server with UniVerse 10.3.3. I would like to setup the old
server as the development server and keep the new server as the
production server. The problem is we want to "elevate" some programs to
the new server. Ideally we would just point the VOC to the old server
until we fully test the programs. We have set ALLOWNFS to 1 as well.
What is involved for us to run a file and setup a voc to point to a
completely different server?
Example) program A is on server 1, but we want the changes to reflect on
server 2.
What we have been doing in the past is editing the VOC from one account
to the other, but I'm not sure how to do this on another server.
Thanks.
