09-02-101 11:36:24 first agenda item: warpdoctor db2 installation status 09-02-101 11:37:38 ... it has been installed on VOICE1 ... kinda :) 09-02-101 11:37:46 i generated a db2 v 5.2 workgroup installation fileset [leaving out the foreign-language items we don't need] and this was successfully transferred to VOICE 09-02-101 11:38:05 one says kinda and the other says successfully.......... 09-02-101 11:38:14 so what is the "real" status? 09-02-101 11:38:24 kinda successfully :) 09-02-101 11:38:28 needs a reinstall? 09-02-101 11:38:54 yeah, we have to reinstall it.. 09-02-101 11:39:07 when? 09-02-101 11:39:11 Rat-Salad and I are working through the base installation issues at the present time.......it's been a distracting week, as can happen, with a lot of schedule conflicts 09-02-101 11:40:11 Judy: you know how warp itself will pause for quite a while in the course of installation [locked file processing and so forth] db2 does the same thing 09-02-101 11:40:50 I understand...so did that pose a problem? 09-02-101 11:41:42 what I experienced with it seemed to be a problem with it taking the db2 admin uid/passwd 09-02-101 11:41:51 i think we inadvertantly messed up the last installation by getting impatient and interacting with it before it completed.......rat and i just have to get back to it and try it again.....and wait it out to complete it's installation 09-02-101 11:43:07 anyway, we're at the point where completing the installation itself and creating the sample database [which verifies that] is still ongoing 09-02-101 11:44:30 as soon as that aspect is completed we'll move on to the creation of the warpdoctor database itself, and add individual administrators 09-02-101 11:45:04 is this all being done through DTOC? 09-02-101 11:45:16 yeah it is 09-02-101 11:45:21 are there any questions relating to that agenda item or points of discussion? 09-02-101 11:46:05 Judy: DTOC here is difficult to work with.......relaying instructions to rat over irc actually accomplishes a great deal more 09-02-101 11:49:13 I think we will have DB2 working the way we want it by the next meeting :) 09-02-101 11:49:13 Rat: can you find out what needs to be done to reconfigure the auto warpstock mtg message, plz :) 09-02-101 11:49:36 errrrrrr WarpDoctor that is :) 09-02-101 11:50:01 yes, I will find out... as soon as I can get Abel to sit down for 5 seconds hehe 09-02-101 11:50:18 * Longstaff agrees with Rat-Salad.....this is very solvable at this point - from the initial download too :) 09-02-101 11:51:02 next agenda item: the ahto-announcement for WD meetings 09-02-101 11:51:52 so we have! does anyone have anything further regarding that to add? 09-02-101 11:52:24 when you edit it...please leave off the part about the agenda...that has only been utilized one time as I recall 09-02-101 11:52:46 ill make note of that.. thanks Judy 09-02-101 11:53:24 good idea.....especially lately when things change with the speed of software 09-02-101 11:53:39 I see no problem with posting the agenda to the WarpDoctor mailing list and asking for input of any additional items 09-02-101 11:53:52 good job RatSalad :) 09-02-101 11:58:57 in that one of the warpdoctor objectives is db2 training, i think it's better to do this in a way where the methodology matches that which a db2 admin would encounter in a commercial os/2 computer room 09-02-101 11:59:03 too bad everything that needs to be done can't be done ssh or we probably would 09-02-101 12:00:17 there are locked file and reboot issues here too.......DTOC isn't really the best way to go at this point 09-02-101 12:00:45 what do you mean? 09-02-101 12:01:36 the server needs to be rebooted on completion of the db2 installation process 09-02-101 12:01:46 with the XWorkplace extended shutdown rebooting isn't a problem 09-02-101 12:01:57 use reboot.exe 09-02-101 12:04:44 has everyone seen the note from Leonardo Alcantara this morning? 09-02-101 12:05:18 good one.. was hoping you'd bring that up.. 09-02-101 12:06:00 yer darn right.......i really like the idea 09-02-101 12:06:07 so do i 09-02-101 12:06:33 also, getting a warp resource like that somewhere more presentable than geocities is an attractive idea 09-02-101 12:06:34 And I 09-02-101 12:06:54 like Sector and MADeCSPro said... a compatiblity list would bring more people to the WD site 09-02-101 12:07:33 what about collection of drivers for os/2 ? for free download ? 09-02-101 12:08:10 zuko: no reason why we couldn't add that too, but that's already well covered by www.os2.org 09-02-101 12:09:35 zuko, that could be a possiblity in the future.. but right now the idea is to get a nice hardware compatiblity list.. perhaps we could link to the drivers as well 09-02-101 12:10:07 going back to the hw device listing for a moment, i think it's pretty much unanimous - does anyone think that warpdoctor taking steps to implement this wouldn't be a good idea? 09-02-101 12:10:17 Rat-Salad i think what 'hardware compatiblity' in os/2 - its only problem with drivers 09-02-101 12:12:23 people ask about hardware compatiblity a LOT.. would be nice to be able to have it there on the WarpDoctor website.. and have a form for people to add new hardware they've used with success 09-02-101 12:12:35 zuko: i'm trying to think of an example of a hw device where there's an issue beyond driver compatibility......like winmodems or winprinters 09-02-101 12:12:58 driver compatibility and/or driver availability 09-02-101 12:13:08 Considering WD is a rebirth of the Warp Pharmacy and hardware support was a big part of that 09-02-101 12:15:08 I really don't see why we couldn't link to the drivers for the hardware 09-02-101 12:21:59 noted - thanx 09-02-101 12:22:39 I don't have a use for ISA now that I think about it.. went to the SB Live soundcard which is PCI, and no internal modem in use 09-02-101 12:22:52 let's call our listing the Warpdoctor Compatible Hardware List - how does that sound 09-02-101 12:25:35 WDCHL is a brand new initative.......we'll start doing some planning on that - in the meantime we're open to suggestions if any of the participants have any 09-02-101 12:26:55 that's the last of my agenda items - does anyone else have any formal business for this portion of the meeting? 09-02-101 12:28:47 nothing I can think of right now 09-02-101 12:32:51 if no one has anything further then, i move we adjourn 09-02-101 12:34:58 someone please second the motion to adjourn.....i believe we're done 09-02-101 12:35:14 * Sector seconds 09-02-101 12:35:43 next sunday - 14:00 EDT right? 09-02-101 12:35:58 afaik 09-02-101 12:36:13 we'll be here 09-02-101 12:37:51 ajourn it... you got my vote 09-02-101 12:38:32 ok - we're adjourned then
