Wow. That's a dog who is not going to run.
"Setting Up a UniData Account n order to access your files in U2 Data Vu, you need to properly set up our UniData account. To do this you must add your account to the D.ACCOUNT file, use the CONVERT.SQL command to make your files SQL ompliant, and then grant appropriate privileges for access to the files." -----Original Message----- From: Bill Haskett <[email protected]> To: U2 Users List <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Sep 2, 2011 11:36 am Subject: Re: [U2] DataVu Query [ad] Steve: Sorry, but I don't think that's right. I remember getting excited and ownloading the product. Then when I was reviewing the installation nstructions I seemed to run into a myriad of issues I'd have to vercome in development, let alone in production. For instance, according to the Quick Start Guide: Setting Up a UniData Account n order to access your files in U2 Data Vu, you need to properly set up our UniData account. To do this you must add your account to the D.ACCOUNT file, use the CONVERT.SQL command to make your files SQL ompliant, and then grant appropriate privileges for access to the files. This isn't exactly pain free, nor anywhere as easy as Mits or Informer eemed to be (I could install and see my files and create a query and et a spreadsheet through a web browser in our Windows environment). I ay just be the paradigm I was having problems with, but DataVu didn't eem either easy to install, configure, use, or put into production. This doesn't mean I'm saying your wrong, or any such thing. It's just hat the product looked a lot more complicated and difficult than other ptions I've been looking into.
