Re: Forte Gremlins -- Thanks

We are using vF.2 running on NT 4.0.
Here are some of the responses I got. In case anyone is interested.
It looks like we aren't completely crazy.
Regards,
Ty
Response #1
You did not mention what platform or version of Forte you are running.
We had similar problems with Forte version 2.D on Sun/Solaris using
both the gemstone repository and objectivity. We have since moved to
Forte version 2F and our repository problems are gone (knock wood).
You may also want to call Forte tech support. They were helpful in
helping resolve our problems(we had a corrupt environment at one
point). We started doing twice daily dumps of a workspace that
contained all projects. We first update and then export. This does
prevent integration during the 20 minutes it takes for the update and
export.
Response #2
We had the same problems ( Reposity corrupted, code that disappeared...).
, but in ( VMS, first btree, next ctree ). We find that the problem only
raise when not have space in disk.
Response #3
Have you Shadow repository ?
If yes, it could exist some data in the
shadow, witch was not backing up with the repository,
especialy if the shadow repository was detached to
improve performance.
Our problems were not related to a Shadow Repository

External precompiler with Forte C++ 6 up.2

Hi all,
we are evaluating Forte C++ 6 for our project, and we don't know how to precompile ProC/C++ source code. Is posible to define a new external precompiler in Forte?
Thanks for all,
Marc

Ordinarily, the same source files and makefiles that work with C++ 5.0 on Solaris 2.6 should work with C++ 5.3 on Solaris 8.
You didn't say what you did to "adapt the makefile" when changing compilers and OS versions. If the compiler was installed in the default /opt location on each system, we don't think any makefile change would be required. (You might want to make changes for performance or program organization reasons, but we don't think any changes are required just to repeat a working program build.)
What happens if you use the original files that worked with C++ 5.0 on Solaris 2.6?
Are C++ 5.0 and C++ 5.3 are both installed in the same /opt directory? That isn't allowed, and will lead to strange behavior.
Are you continuing a build using the new compiler and OS in a directory containing old binary files or template cache? When changing OS and compilers, it is safest, but not strictly necessary, to rebuild all your binary files. At a minimum, you must delete the old template cache.
Are you still using C++ 5.0 in the build process? If so, you must isolate the use of C++ 5.0 and 5.3. The compilers cannot share a template cache, so you must run compiles in different locations.
Anything beyond these hints will require more support and analysis than we could provide in the Forum. You will probably need to generate a .i file from the compilation and have a support engineer look at it. If you have contract with Sun, please follow the service channel.

Re: I/O throughput using FORTE

Wayne,
I've been involved in benchmarks with Forte. I'd venture to say your C code
is just the beginning of exposing one of many issues for highly distributed
/ scalable system.
With all the distributed transaction integrity elements of Forte, for
high-volume situations you will need to buffer your payload before sending
to the remote side for processing in order to accomplish your 700k/sec rates.
I've accomplished (800k/sec) 1600 msgs/sec w/ 500 bytes/msg using 2x DEC
Alpha Unix 2100 4CPU 2GB Mem and 2x DEC Alpha 8400's w/ 4CPU 2GB Mem. This
was done in Jan '96 (>20 mos ago) and so I know today's hardware can
accomplish even higher rates using these same approaches.
But the basics will include the need for multiple client
"listeners/generators" and multiple server "consumers/processors". The N:M
ratio is quite easy to scale given any number of hardware/OS/CPU speed
configurations you may have to deal with.
Call me to discuss further.

Hi all,
I am currently developing an application that will be extensively I/O and
CPU bound and have developed a proto-type to determine throughput. My
experiences so far has been less than desirable as compared to a "C"
version. Results reflect a 700000 byte/second throughput rate with the "C"
version vice 7000/second using the Forte proto-type. The Forte module is
compiled natively on an Alpha running DEC Unix. The response time is
significantly lower than expected. Does anyone have experience in high
through put applications such as described above or has come across a
similar problem when developing in Forte?
Thanks in advance,

Hi
   If you are using a plain vswitch in the primary domain to transfer data between LDOM B & LDOM C , yes there will be higher latencies than copying between two Zones using the same kernel in LDOM A. ( a copy between zones stays in the same kernel )
   How many cores does you primary domain have ?    is it noticeably loaded while the copying is running ?
   Historically the slowdown of Ethernet I/O when using a vswitch , ( instead of an I/O Domain)    was approx 25%
The new solution here is the SR-IOV feature to bypass a vswitch and talk directly to the network adapter via DMA
   from the virtual machine. But you want to go back into the server to another VM !   So If you set up SR-IOV for both LDOM B and LDOM C, you would need to bounce in the physical switch outside the server , I cant say if that would be faster or slower.

Forte For Java GUI Editor

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to switch usage between Forte for Java running on 2 platforms (Win NT and Solaris 8). For this reason, I want to try to use the GUI Editor in each. But when I tried copying the same .class file from one platform to another and running opening the file under Forte for Java, the GUI Editor doesn't show up the form and Component Editor. Is there a way to make Forte for Java able to recognize the GUI components in a class file not creatd in Forte or not in that version of Forte? Thank you for any help!
Bob

Hi,
this happens not just with class file but also with .java
file. I created a GUI with Forte ( on windows ) and because I did not jave runtime setup on windows, I copied, java file that was created to the unix env. Then added some code to it and copied back to the windows.
After that, GUI editor never came up. I lost all that I did
to create a GUI. Now I can modify GUI only manually.
I you have found answer to this, please let meknow

Re: PanedWindow in Forte'

Forgive me if I'm not replying to this correctly. I just got subscribed
and I can't believe this question popped up. I'm involved in the building
of a new imaging system using the Forte development environment. We are
currently in the prototyping stage and wanted to do just what you are
describing, "the browser" type window. Frames are pretty easy to do in
Forte. This may not be the best way, but it works.
We created a window which has 3 widgets panel one, panel two, and a
rectangle. The panels were to be parents of any "real windows" that you
wanted in you panes, like an outliner. The rectangle can be selected and
moved. We size all three explicitly. The main window has a startup
method and we send it parameters for positioning and determining if this
particular frame setup will be a horizontal type or a vertical type. The
frame control window has a resize children method which just re-sizes the
two panels based upon the position of the slider (rectangle). The neat
thing is that you can map one or both of your panels to another frame
control iff you set your startup parameters correctly. It seems pretty
crude but it takes very little code and you can nest the frame controls to
produce as many window panes as you desire. Getting around Forte's
geometry management was the toughest part, we wanted to take advantage of
the gridfields and automatic movement of widgets. However, we couldn't get
it to work. Might just be us, we are very new to the tool.

No. The image will remain in memory until either the VI is closed or IMAQ Dispose.vi is called.
- If IMAQ WindClose is called, the display window will disappear, but the image in memory will be available in memory for further processing.
If you use IMAQ WindShow, you have the ability to get the status of the display window (showing or hidden).
- It also allow you to set if the display window is to show or hide.

Forte & web.xml problem

Hi there,
I hope what I have is a simple problem to fix. I'm running Forte For Java 4 and developing a web application. When I run a servlet (although it works fine) I am getting a run-time error:
ContextConfig[] Configuration error in application web.xml
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Servlet mapping specifies an unknown servlet name ChooseUnit
This has something to do with the fact that I renamed one of my servlets and it didn't update web.xml (when I ran this servlet, it kept trying to use the servlet's old name in the URL). I went into web.xml and added this servlet's new name manually but it still didn't work, so I deleted the offending servlet, making sure that its servlet mappings were also gone from web.xml.
I then made a new servlet of a different name, and every time I run it I get the above error, even though the servlet name in the error no longer exists, nor any reference to it in web.xml.
Anyone got a suggestion as to how to fix this? It seems to be a bug particular to Forte.
Thanks.
Gillian Klee

Never mind, it seems to have sorted itself out with a reboot.

RE: (forte-users) FW: central environment hanging

Doug,
We have our repository servers on Windows NT 4.0 (Alpha), however our
environment manager is on the same node as the repository servers, so our
experiences may not fit your case.
We use Windows NT services to start/stop the repository servers and have
defined them to start up as the appropriate Windows NT account so that its
registry is populated properly.
We use the Schedule service via WinAT for our nightly cleanups. We use the
Forte srvcinst.exe utility to shutdown the repository server before running
a batch script to perform the rpclean before starting up the repository
server within the same srvcinst.exe session.
We have never experienced environment console hangs, however this technique
doesn't cope with people leaving repository sessions active overnight as
rpstop -k would.
Sample srvcinst.exe Script
%FORTE_ROOT%\bin\srvcinst.exe
SetName "<Repositoty-Server-Name>"
Stop
Delay 10000
ExecCmd "cmd /c call RPClean_This.bat > RPClean_This.log 2>
RPClean_This_2.log"
Delay 10000
Start
Delay 10000

Subject: (forte-users) FW: central environment hanging
Our development environment consists of a SUN box as the environment
manager with an NT box acting as the host for all of the repositories.We
have a number of repositories and an NT service set up for each one.Each
night WinAT runs bat files the shutdown each of the rpserver, runrpclean
against each of the repositories, and then starts up each of therpserver.
The problem that we are seeing is the central environment hangs at some
point during this process. The central environment manager process is
still running under UNIX (via checkforte) but you cannot connect via
escript or econsole. In addition there are no log messages indicating
what is causing the environment to hang.
Does anybody have a similar development environment?
Some specific Forte questions:
1. Is it better to bring the repositories down via rpstop or anescript?
2. We are using rpstop -k could this be causing a problem?
3. Should we be bring down the node manager on the NT box also?
Some NT specific questions:
1. We use WinAT with a call to a batch file that calls a batch file the
runs the "rpstop ... -k" and "netsrv "name" \\machine /stop" Thisshould
work, right? Specifically, will the rpserver shut down gracefully?2. For the NT services that are set up for the Forte process should the
"Log On As" property be set to "System Account" or "This Account: forte"?

Hi Douglas,
You experience problems after a nightly refresh of your repositories.
You do not mention this explicitely in your mail, but am I correct in
assuming you also reboot the NT-server? And, am I correct in
assuming the E-script and E-console that won't start, are being
started (or at least, trying to be started) on this same NT-server,
after the reboot?
If that is the case, then there is your problem. You stopped the
repositories correctly, cleaned them and then restarted the computer,
without first stopping the nodemgr correctly. If the same node is
started again, and de nodemgr is started, it is unable to re-attach
to the cental node. First, the central node must understand that
the original node is gone, which it will after a network timeout, which
usually is a TCP/IP timeout of about 1 hour.
Solutions.
1) Wait 1 hour after reboot before attempting any E-script.
2) Before rebooting the machine, use E-script to shutdown the
nodemgr.
3) Use the KEEP_ALIVE settings (see Forte docu), to bring this
timeout back to a few minutes, in stead of 1 hour.

one quick way would be to issue a RunCommand with the command 'hostname',

I would be interested. We are currently using a homegrown DataMapper architecture with the Microsoft OracleClient.

After that, I would then like to look at using an off the shelf persistence framework such as EntitySpaces, NHibernate or IdeaBlade's DevForce.

VMS File Extensions

Hi,
We have MacOS and Win 95 boxes talking to an Alpha running OpenVMS.
Our Forte applications run some reports on the Alpha box, due to
their size etc. However, we want the users (on the PCs) to be able to
manipulate the resulting files as necessary. At the moment we get a
list of the files in a "user" directory and display that on the
screen. Unfortunately, we can't seem to get the version numbers of the
files (it isn't in the suffix, where I would expect it to be). This is important, as the
User needs to know which file is the latest version (or the previous one etc).
Does anybody have any way of getting the version number for a VMS
file in Forte?
Thanks in advance

Create a DVD (Movie) From a Video Received via Email (???)

Someone is sending me a video of a family event via email; not yet sure what format it will be (.mov or whatever) and it's coming via a Windows computer. Assuming that the movie will play when the email arrives, how can I burn the movie to a DVD so I can play it back on a TV later on?
I suppose I'd drag it to my desktop, but from there I'm not at all sure how to burn it to a DVD so it will play as a movie on my TV's DVD player.
What app(s) do I use (?), and can someone provide some "See Spot run" instructions, as DVD burning is not my forte'.
Thanks in advance!

+Why burn with Titanium (which I don't have) if I can burn with either iMovie or iDVD (depending on if I want to snazz it up)?+
Well, Toast has a few other things included which may come in handy and I've just gotten used to using it, but there is no need for it, especially for basic burning. So, yes, you can use iMovie or iDVD.
+As an alternative, can I go to iDVD>File>OneStep DVD From Movie (which I would have dragged to the desktop from the email)and do it that way?+
One-Step DVD is to transfer video directly from a camcorder to burn to a DVD (check iDVD help). I've never used that feature because I tend to do a lot of "snazzing" including customizing the themes, creating intros with several layers of video and live fonts, etc. But there is another possibility: Magic iDVD: "lets you create professional quality DVD with minimal effort" - again, check iDVD help; there are step by step instructions. I haven't used that feature either.
You might want to consider checking out the appropriate forums for both iMovie and iDVD for tips and/or questions - some very knowledgeable people hang out there. You'll find that with a little effort, you can create some really cool movies. And remember that both iMovie and iDVD only accept certain formats, so if you get an error or it won't let you drag it, run it through MPEG Streamclip first.
Edit: As an afterthought, I'm wondering if you will actually be able to get that movie via email - most ISP's impose limits on file size.
