Our revenue coding structure used for recording income and operating costs comprises 15 digits structured in 4 segments as follows:- Segment 1 Function / Site / Dept [5 digits 1 alpha 4 numerics] Segment 2 Process [3 digits 1 alpha 2 numerics] Segment 3 Activity...

sandylou, As it is a backup you have, you won't be able to attach it, but should be able to restore it, as Jeff says.

Thanks for your input Paul. I'm now thinking that I'll use EVA snapshots of the filesystem and mount them on the reporting server to report against. I think this will be quicker and easier than using the SQL tools available.

I've just noticed that Enterprise Edition is required to take database snapshots. As I only have Standard Edition I guess I need to find an alternative solution to the one Paul suggests. I'm thinking it's goint to have to be transactional replication where it only 'syncronises' once a night...

Thanks Paul, Does anyone have a link to a document / support note which describes how best to setup and configure a mirror and subsequent snapshot?

Hi, I would appreciate any tips/advice on options for providing a separate copy of a SQL 2005 database, on a separate server, for reporting against. This is for performance reasons. The following information describes my situation; - I have a database of about 80GB - The reporting 'copy' only...

We also found that our newer CICS middleware has 'lost' the options for host trace and debug however there is an easy way to get it back. Try using Alt-q when the Ellipse login box is on the screen - it works for me!

We are using eac31_11. We are already limited to 8 characters due to enhanced security. Was it easy to set up, i.e following the advice above?

Thanks Ivangent. Is there a way to deal with users who do not have an AD entry, i.e. share a PC login with others? Does this work with Citrix clients? Regards

Ellipse 5.2.3.7 offers, via the EAC, the choice to use external authentication instead of the usual username and password. We are in the early stages of considering using LDAP for this. Has anyone tried using this? What steps are required? And above all, does it work? Thanks

Thanks Drew. We will be using IBM's TX-Series for Ellipse but your points are still valid. Does anyone else have any experience of Ellipse on NT4?

Drw, Have you, or anyone else, run Ellipse on an NT client and if so what problems did you have (if any) and what version of Ellipse was it. Thanks

Does the Ellipse client run on NT4 Workstation? Does Mincom support this? Your replies are eagerly awaited. Thank you.

Does anyone know MIMS 4.3.1.2 version of the countusr.sh script mentioned by Dianne001 - or a copy of the code behind it. Thanks

chibag, This is what we are already doing. It's against this read only copy that we have performance issues using CorVu. Any help / advice relating to improving prformance? Thanks
