I seem to be spending most of my time upgrading Informix version at the moment (we have 15 Informix sites on every flavour of UNIX imaginable - SCO,AIX,NCR,Dynix,Solaris 2.5... Oddable-*NIX ok perhaps not the last one and they all have different engines (SE 4.x/5.x/7.x,Online 5, OWS) different version of 4GL (4.1x/6.0/none at all - the so called binary-only sites where we compiled on our SCO box and ship binaries). Some have SQL, some don't...in the last week I've installed SE 7.x on a SCO box (which had had a corrupt disk and had the database restored up to Thrusday morning rather then Friday so I had to help restore it). Checked out another SCO box ready for putting Online 5.x on it. Restored another SE database for another site where they had managed to get 0 byte .dat and .idx files for the main table in their database (Finished that at 10pm tonight) Upgraded C4GL 6.03.UC1 -> 6.04.UC2 on a Solaris 2.5.1 box running OWS 7.22 finished that 10pm last night.. I see now why Tim hates the TEN crap.... When you install OWS again it a) sees it has already been installed b) unless you do brand new install IT REINSTALLS WHERE IT WAS BEFORE EVEN IF YOU HAVE A NEW $INFORMIXDIR SET. Of course when I did a new installation it a) created a new root dbspace on cooked files which I had to - find space for - we didn't plan for this when we quote out disk space requirements. - delete after shutting down the 'new' online instance it had oninit -i'ed for me. b) overwrote my custom onconfig (which ues raw disk and is tuned) with it's own onconfig. c) overwrote my custom sqlhosts which meant I could not start my second (demo) instance of OWS. What a pain - I HATE the OWS installation, it is too automatic, overwrites what I have done and forces you to use ~50Mb of cooked space you will never need again. I may be off to Scotland for next week to move an Online 5.x database from one of out sites to the new OWS and another database will go live on that OWS instance towards Thursday/Friday next week.. also I've started going down the gym (10-11pm!!!) my life is getting very intense... Sorry but it's late and it's been a long week. PS Sorry to Tim about not replying but I can'e even keep up with News (barely c.d.i never mind the other 10 newsgroups.. Phew!). PPS I will write all the tools I promised + an ondiags to monitor the health of online (pids of VPS still valid, logs not full etc when life returns to somehting like quiet).. >} >} I have recently adquired a new version of rds and c4gl, 4.12 for SCO >} 3.2. >} After installing it, I tried to compile some simple programs using c4gl >} , but it gave >} the error "libsocket.a not found", I looked for it through all >} filesystems but >} It didn't appeared anywhere, then I edited the c4gl file and then >} deleted the >} -lsocket option in the line where the compiler (cc) is invoked but it >} gave me the error "undefined symbol gettimeofday". >} I don't know what to do. >} I have installed the entire development kit for SCO but I couldn't find >} the library >} libsocket.lib, my former version of c4gl didn't need it. >} What is happening to new version of rds and c4gl? >} >} >} Thanks in advance >} >} Raul Durand Solis >} rdurand@sunat.gob.pe >} PERU >} > -- David Williams
