Digest truncation problems?
by Tres Seaver 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Occasionally, my digest arrives in my inbox in truncated form. Anyone else seeing this? For example, yesterday I got a message with the subject, "Zope digest, Vol 1 #391 - 69 msgs", but it was cut off in the middle of message #22. FWIW, I'm using Netscape 4.5 and 4.07 against a POP3 server. -- ================================================================================ Tres Seaver tseaver(a)palladion.com http://www.palladion.com Palladion Software Houston, Texas, USA 713-523-6582

Moving Zope data from Wintel to Sparc 64
by Jerry.Spicklemire＠IFLYATA.COM 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Help! I'm sorry if this winds up in the wrong place, but MS Exchange has a mind of it's own on how to deal with Web based E-Mail , and I really need some feedback on this, ASAP. Zope is hanging by a thread here . . . Has anyone run into problems copying a Zope2 data set (ZODB3) from 32 bit Intel to 64 bit Sparc systems? Zope runs fine on our shiny new Solaris box, but my data, developed in Intel / Win 32 won't. We are using the binary Zope install from Solaris 2.6, and my development platform is the binary for Win 32. I have been following the advice for "upgrading" from one rev. of Zope to the next, which really just involves copying three data files, labeled Data.fs, Data.fs.tmp, & Data.fs.lock into the same spot on the target system. This worked fine when I need to move from Win'95 to NT, but fails moving from NT to Sparc 64. Of course the Data.fs file appears to be the ZODB data, and when viewed with a text editor certain "binary" characters are revealed, which our Unix admin suspects may be dependent on the system processor. In other words, if the hash table structure is influenced by the endian, or bit width of the hardware, this would explain the problem we're seeing. I'm considering doing an "export" from my working Zope, and attempting an "import" to Zope on Sun. If this is the correct way to go, can someone point me to complete, step by step, How-To for the export / import process. Mostly I've seen spotty references to this and I am so weary of trying things that don't work because a How-To assumes I already know stuff that I don't. Until the new searchable site came up I've searched the egroups list daily for topics such as "backup", "recovery", "replication", etc. It seems I am the only one who ever needs such things. Or maybe I'm just using the wrong names to search for . . . How do you spell "mission critical?" In our environment we use separate units for develop / test, and production systems. Moving data from one to the other is going to be a daily task, so we really need to nail this one. Enterprise Objects sounds relevant to this, perhaps even in the short run. Can someone release the rest of the scoop on this topic. Once again, all I've seen are spotty teases, not enough to go to the boss with. Also, if I'm way off base here, there are a couple of other things that are odd. For instance, on the Sun/Sparc/Solaris box, the /Zope/var/ directory has a file called Data.fs.in, that I've never seen on the Win32. Might this also be related to the problem reading the Data.fs files? Thanks for your consideration, Jerry S.

Structure behind the new beta site?
by dgoodwin＠cairn.com 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Friends, It would be incredibly helpful to see the structure behind the beta website. I am specifically interested in the arrangement of folders, users, their roles, and permissions. This will help me make informed decisions in the design of a high-profile portal site targeted at the 3D industry [hint hint]. Many thanks, -Doug Goodwin dgoodwin(a)spatial.com -- PS: Bravo on the new Zope beta site! I've been watching for 9 months and I'm ready to pitch Zope as t h e portal solution at my workplace. It feels solid, looks great, and documentation has finally caught up with development.

Re: [Zope] #tree & reverse sort

> When Chris subtly changed the way the reverse is performed in both in and > tree tags, he made a mistake in the tree tag, and must have missed it. Ach! Nein! Actually, it was substituting one smaller bug (i.e. non-functionality) for a larger one (i.e. modifying the object-database in-place :-). Woo hoo! This will be resolved in the next release (we're not sure if it'll be 2.0.1 or 2.1, honestly). But nobody will be wearing face-paint by the time it happens!

#tree & reverse sort
by achimg＠obelix.cologne.sgi.com 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Hello Zope users! The following construct works in Zope-2.0.0b6:  I've now switched to Zope-2.0.0 and the above reverse sort produces an AttributeError. I still can do reverse sort with the #in tag! What's different in 2.0.0 or how can I do a reverse sort with the #tree tag?? Thanks for your advice. - Achim -- Silicon Graphics GmbH | Email: Achim Gorski <gorski(a)sgi.com> Frankfurter Str. 720-726 | Phone: +49-2203-9312-24 D-51145 Koeln, Germany | VM : +330-8891 Mail-Stop: IDE-3160 | Fax : +49-2203-9312-20
