I stumbled across this when digging into a transaction related issue.Knowing about this might help someone in the future.Context: UV 11.2.5 on RHEL7We had a phantom process that would die unexpectedly during processing.The phantom had an active COMO recording going at the time it died, but the COMO file did not capture the error message produced by the phantom.The only way I could track why the phantom process was aborting was to have the pid launch a unix strace in background that traces the pid of the phantom, and check the trace file output at the end.The strace output file did capture the phantom's error messageThe reason appears to be that the UV phantom's COMO is only capturing the standard output (stdout). The error messages produced by the uv phantom are still sent to standard error (stderr), and this is not included in the COMO recording.#como #strace #UniVerse #rhel​​------------------------------Gregor Scottgregors------------------------------​​

UniData DBA Tips and Tricks (post #1) Getting the most out of 'guide' In addition to verification of UniData file integrity, the 'guide' command provides information about the status of the file, which can be used to plan your resizing efforts. This section, is intended to provide you with more information on using the guide statistics so you can better manage your files. In future posts, we will go over some guidelines for determining resize values, and we will go over methods to determine sizing for future growth. Note that a poorly sized UniData file impacts performance, It is recommended that you routinely check the status of your UniData files to ensure they are still properly sized. The 'guide' command's -r option allows you to put the status and statistics about the file into a UniData file for easy query access. Steps to Create and Populate the UDT_GUIDE file The UniData guide command has the ability to to store detail information about the UniData Hashfiles

U2 Replication is a very powerful, very configurable but very complex part of both UniData and UniVerse.Many customers have historically become very useful in deploying there U2 Applications into environments where the people responsible for those environments have little or no specific U2 Administration knowledge. This has been one of the many positives of deploying U2 over a long period time and we'd like that to continueTo administer and maintain U2 Replication specific U2 Administration skills and knowledge needs to be acquired. The Replication Exception Script and Monitoring Phantoms are designed to reduce this requirement, the processes and tools that we discuss here are designed to act as proactive notifications of any problems, which may have otherwise gone unnoticed and hence become a large problem later. We also look the use of an exception script when correctly designed can be used to automatically reestablish replication after some things as network interruptionsThe Replica

My name is Tim Snyder and I'm a Customer Solutions Engineer (CSE) Manager for Rocket MultiValue.  In this session, I will provide the best practices for using EDA with Rocket UniVerse and Rocket UniData application servers. EDA enables you to convert data stored in the Rocket U2 database to a 1NF database, such as Microsoft SQL Server, and then access that data using existing UniBasic programs, UniQuery, or UniData/UniVerse SQL.  If you're already using EDA or want to learn more about it, then this session is for you.   EDA CheckX Tool download: https://github.com/MultiValue-University/edacheckxd   Note: The video playlist below can be accessed using the menu at the upper right of the frame.

If you have become used to stopping PHANTOM processes by killing them or editing a controlling record in a file, there is a much more elegant method available using the often under-recognised method of process locks.For example, if we choose lock 1 to signify that a job is already running and lock 2 to instruct a job to terminate, then the code below can be used to ensure that one - and only one - instance of the PHANTOM is permitted to run at any one time:* Sample code snippet:- PHANTOM job start ** Set the PHANTOM job name *PHANTOM_JOB='WEEKLY_INVOICES_EMEA' ** Designate the locks to be used for this handshake * RUNNING_LOCK=1 ; * the lock number used by the PHANTOM when it is running * * check if the PHANTOM is running by attempting to set the process lock * that it would own if it were already running. * LOCK RUNNING_LOCK THEN * * The controlled job is not running - OK to start it * first release the lock we just set to check if it was already running. * UNLOCK RUNNING_LOCK * * now
