I can't tell you why they are not enabled by default other than to think that it could cause you big problems if they were. My experience of compression on IIS 5 is that it is very hit and miss. I think if you have a simple web site or application it may work OK. The applications I have did...

Hi I have applications (ASP & CGI) running on a Windows 2000 Standard Server IIS 5 and they run well. I am having to move the applications to a newer server for support reasons which is running IIS 6. This is a new faster server with Windows 2003 Standard Server SP1 and I was expecting a...

Hi I am looking into implementing SSL with iSeries Access V5R2 but I am concerned that the encryption process will slow performance. We are using telnet at the moment and I have seen something that quotes the transmission rate drops to 25% of the unencrypted transmission. Is this true? Can...

Hi I'm new to java but I am trying to put inside a function the ability to create a prompt with a dropdown box of defined options and then use that to open a link (i.e. select a report name and then open it). This is within another application and is a button link to redirect the user. I...

Thanks Managed to find a version of gzip for Solaris 8 that is large file aware. It is working ok now and is much faster than bzip2. I don't know who would use bzip2 with a large file, it's much too slow.

Hi I'm looking for compression software for Solaris 8 that is freeware but has reasonably good compression and is fast. I am taking a hot and cold backup of an Oracle database (tar file is about 6GB) and I can't use gzip as the file is too large, bzip2 works but is so slow (about 6 hours for...

Thanks to you both. I installed the package and replaced the link for tar to the new location. I left the old package in place as trying to remove it seemed too much like hard work!

ChipperMDW Thanks for the advice, I now understand. Checking my packages I need to update tar to take advantage of this feature. One question, any idea how I remove the current version of tar (loaded as part of Solaris 8) as I cannot see it in the pkginfo. I have tried installing the new...

Hi I'm trying to compress a tar archive within a script to dsave space but I have run into problems. I can't seem to get it to work even from the command line. The file I have is approx 5GB and I am using bzip 0.9.0c that was shipped with Solaris 8 2/02. I can seem to compress other files...

Hi My Oracle DBA has been doing some anaysis on our Sunfirev880 box running Solaris 8 and Oracle 9. We have redo logs on one of the FCAL disks that has a ufs file system, but to improve performance he has suggested changing just this drive (single mount point) to a raw file system. Not being...

Solved this by repartitioning the disk, Thanks Phil.

Hi I have a disk which I have run the dd command on to copy the boot disk as a backup. I no longer need this and want to restore the disk for use (currently I can't mount this disk for obvious reason and I have retained the fstab entry). What is the best way to go about this, I have been...

Ties Afraid not, still got the error: Selection error involving field CMRTIM. I can't belive this is so difficult on OS400! Thanks Phil.

Ties I get the error 'Selection error involving field CMRTIM' when running your sql. Any other ideas? Thank Phil.

Hi I'm trying to create an sql to report on 2 tables where I have a max run time permitted for a job and the run history of a job. I want to identify all those jobs where the MAX of the run history is within 90% of the max run time permitted. Can anyone help me how I can do this, the SQL is...

Hi I have implemented a new minimum password length (part of company policy) and I now need to expire all passwords where they do not meet this length (8). Can anyone suggest a good way of doing this. thanks Phil.

Franz Sorted this already, should have thought about this a bit more. I had a look in the scripts that did the install and found the packages that were added. The thing that threw me was that they are prefixed with ORCL and not LGTO as the Legato documentation described. Thanks Phil.
