After many lunchtimes of testing and documenting, and with a little (!) help from Paul in the Limbo Transactions testing, I have checked in the gfix manual. Onwards to other things now - gpre! Cheers, Norman. |

You sorted me out a little while back when I was missing a couple of new directories and you advised using the cvs update -d command instead of cvs update as I had always been doing. The docs build ok and when I checked them last night I was able to correct a couple of bugs (gstat and isql in upper case) prior to checking the source files into the repository. Thanks again for your help on the limbo transactions. One question though, in your example you show a run of gstat with a databases name of localhost:filename - this appears to work in your example, but I thought gstat had to be run locally. When I try a 'remote' path like yours, I simply get file not found errors. I'm using v2.0 though - so it could be that. Cheers, Norman. |

The "localhost:" was= there because during testing I copied the connect string from the gfix = command issued earlier. However, the fact that this doesn't generate an = error made me wonder if gstat would really connect to localhost. So I = replaced "localhost:" with "sofa:" (the machine name) and it still = worked. After that, I used various existing and non-existing host names = and IP numbers and it kept working (provided the path was correct *on my = local machine*). As it turns out, you can (with 1.5) prepend almost any kind of nonsense = followed by a ":" and gstat will simply strip it. Only if the connect = string contains 3 or more colons will you get a syntax error (on Windows!= I presume it's 2 on Linux). This may be something to add to the gstat = chapter, when the time comes.

Seems to have been fixed at 2.0 - or maybe it is a Linux thing as it gives an error message if I use a 'server' name and colon in the database path. > As it turns out, you can (with 1.5) prepend almost any kind of nonsense > followed by a ":" and gstat will simply strip it.

I have this email filed away for later testing and documenting. Thanks. I presume that this behaviour is why your 'sofa' server was listed as 'H' instead in your examples. Seems that first server name is removed, the your H: drive path is assumed to be a server :o) Cheers, Norman. |

No, the "H" host was something gfix did - not gstat. And gfix does
function across a network.
I don't know if the "H" comes from the drive. Just now I copied the
limboed db to D:\ and I still got the "H". But maybe that's because of
the fact that the original path as stored in the db starts with "H":
>gfix -user sysdba -pass masterke -list D:\limbobron_r.fdb
Transaction 67 is in limbo.
Could not reattach to database for transaction 67.
Original path: H:\FIREBIRD\LIMBO\LIMBOBRON.FDB
Enter a valid path:
d:\limbobron_r.fdb
Multidatabase transaction:
Host Site: SOFA
Transaction 67
has been prepared.
Remote Site: H
Database Path: d:\limbobron_r.fdb
To find out if it also mentions H if the original limbo is on another
drive, I would have to re-run everything, but I don't have time for
that now, sorry! Maybe later.
BTW, it suddenly strikes me that on the line below "Remote Site" the
"Database Path" once again mentions the local path, not the remote
path. One would expect the remote path there, wouldn't one?
Cheers,
Paul

Maybe later. No, you've done enough already. I'm onto gpre now and I should be able to set up a small app that will create a limbo transaction with that. I'm in the learning curve at the moment to see what can and cannot be done. I have my 'hello, world' equivalent test program running already. :o) > BTW, it suddenly strikes me that on the line below "Remote Site" the > "Database Path" once again mentions the local path, not the remote > path. One would expect the remote path there, wouldn't one? One would indeed. I suspect a 1.5 problems that is hopefully sorted out in 2.0. I'll check when I get enough of a clue on getting a limbo set up under 2.0 and gpre. Thanks again. Cheers, Norman. |

As far as I remember, I've never had to build the online ones, just submit my stuff to the repository - is building the online stuff something I should be doing then?

At first I used to build and upload everything. But as more people started to contribute, this took more and more time. So after a while I began to gently push people to do their own builds and uploads. I assumed you were already used to doing that too, but it seems I was mistaken. No problem though, the docs aren't exactly pouring in at the moment... Cheers, Paul Vinkenoog PS: I think we ought to standardize the capitalization of the tools names. We now have GSEC and GSPLIT next to Gfix in the utils doc. |

I'm happy to do it, I always do a full build of all the docs before I commit anything to the repository, so that's not a problem. If you let me know where I'm supposed to put them (might need a login?) when I've built them then I'll be happy to upload them when I make changes. Cheers, Norman. |

Evening Paul, > Got them Paul, thanks. Be on the lookout for an upload soon Got accounts > to do tonight unfortunately! ok, my very first upload has been done. I have put up all the fbutil*.html and the Firebird-Utils-WIP.pdf file has also been placed in what I hope is the correct location. Looks ok in a browser, so I must have done something right! Had to go hunting for the server name though - found it in the Docwriter's docs though - good place for it if you ask me! :-) Cheers, Norman. |

Oh, yes, that's an old troublemaker. Some people have the JRE and are doing
fine, others get this error. Some even DO have tools.jar on their Java path
and still get this error. What you could do is download the JDK, extract
tools.jar, place it in the expected location, and hope that's enough.
(BTW, sometimes people get this error but the build is fine anyway. In
that case, the easiest solution is to simply ignore the error message).
I'm still a bit puzzled by this error, because tools.jar shouldn't be
necessary at all...

You only need MSMincho if you want to build Japanese PDFs. If so, you have
to edit the file manual/config/ja/fop-userconfig.xml. Look for these lines:
<font metrics-url="msmincho.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/MSMincho.ttc">
...
...
<font metrics-url="msgothic.xml" kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///C:/WINNT/Fonts/MSGothic.ttc">
and edit the file URLs so they are correct on your machine. I think that
most modern Windows versions come with these two font collections, but the
location may vary.
Good luck!

I need the number (SF calls this the user ID) to create his rabbit file, so he shows up as a doc subproject member. But I've got it now, by clicking on his nick on the members page.
