New: Universal File Mover v1.0.4

March 6, 2013 Roger Lacroix

Capitalware is pleased to announce the release of Universal File Mover v1.0.4. It is a free open source project.

Universal File Mover is more than a simple tool to manage the transfer of files. It allows the user to combine business processes into a workflow. The user combines a series of Action commands to create the UFM Workflow XML file. UFM is supported on AIX, HP-UX, IBM i (OS/400), Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows.

    Changes:

  • Added MQ reconnection logic to MQReceive Action.
  • Added MQ reconnection logic to the StatusQueue functionality.
  • Updated the onerrorfail attribute for each action in the UFM_Workflow.dtd file to allow the onerrorfail attribute from the Global element to be used.

Schools are Obsolete

March 4, 2013 Roger Lacroix

If you live in Ontario Canada, you can’t help but think that the title is correct. If you want to learn about the dysfunction in Ontario’s school system, then just Google (search) it, as I have no interest in writing about the sorry state of affairs. My wife started home-schooling our 5 kids long before the current dysfunction in Ontario’s school system.

I just watched a REALLY good TED talk called: We Need Schools… Not Factories by Sugata Mitra. I strongly suggest EVERYONE watch it. It is the “Winner Of the TED Prize 2013”.

RFE: Generating MQ Stats for Puts on Remote Queues

February 15, 2013 Roger Lacroix

Peter Potkay has created an RFE (Request For Enhancement) for generating MQ Statistics for MQPUTs on Remote Queues.

MQ provides statistics for # of PUTs and GETs, and last date/time of PUTs and GETs for Local Queues. It would be real helpful to have these statistics available for individual remote queues. Since XMITQs are often used by multiple Remote Queues, its not feasible to look at the Put statistics for a XMITQ to understand how many puts an individual remote queue had.
