Under the Hood: Uniface’s Chromium Framework Gets a Major Security and Performance UpgradeBy Jie Wu,  Software Engineer III As a Uniface engineer, I’m excited to share some big news with all of you who build, maintain, and run Uniface applications: we’ve just shipped an upgrade to the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) in Uniface patch 10.4.03-028. If you’re using the HTML widget or working inside the Uniface IDE, this will directly impact your daily work—for the better.Why This MattersAt its core, Uniface leverages Chromium (the open-source backbone of browsers like Chrome and Edge) for HTML rendering and JavaScript execution. This means that whenever you embed web content in your app—be it dashboards, rich UIs, or integrations—you get the same level of power and security that powers modern browsers. By upgrading CEF from version 123.0.7 (Chromium 123.0.6312.46) to CEF 141.0.5 (Chromium 141.0.7390.55), we’re delivering the latest security patches and features, closing the door on previ

Anyone ran into the following? And knows a solution?Environment:Uniface 10.4.02.58 on Windows 10 and RedHat 9.4 Linux Character set for I/O ($DEF_CHARSET: - Windows: CP1252 (default) - Linux: LATIN1 (default)Oracle Database 19c, NLS_CHARACTERSET defined as WE8ISO8859P15; this is supposed to be ISO 8859-15 including £ and € GBP pound sign £ stored in a database table or returned in the text of a Stored Package is displayed in Uniface (both Windows GUI and Linux CHUI) as #. Setting $DEF_CHARSET on the client(s) and userver to UTF8 helps, but has a negative side effect on tables with column LONG RAW, such as PRATT. 

We create update STD calendars in December to exclude dates (holidays, etc.) to prevent jobs using the calendar from loading into the schedule.  These are normally updated once per year, however, one of the calendars were updated 2X since 10/2025.  While I don’t think it’s possible, does anyone know if there is function, job, etc., we can run that would show the calendar Holidays prior to 10/2025 for a specific calendar?

visual cobol program - calling a PCO program - animation shows it calls the PCO, and then continues on - but the PCO seems to be doing NOTHING, even tho we put a display as the first line to execute in the the pro cobol pgm ....  where to start looking at what is wrong

Hi.Following our migration from MF Enterprise Developer to Rocket Cobol for VSCode, we are experiencing some Language Server errors in VSCode that do not show up in MF, but we are unable to figure out how to fix them. We assume is probably related to missing or incorrect compiler directives, but we are not sure. This is the actual configuration of Cobol directives in MF: ​​​​​​And this is the configuration of Cobol Default Directives on Rocket Cobol (basically replicating the ones in MF, but including a few extra ones, like assign”external” to fix some COBCH0005 errors)  However, with this configuration, we are seeing some errors, such as COBCH0641 , COBCH0628 or COBCH0002, and  we have no clue how to fix them. Here are some of them: (at least we can see the OUTLINE section seems to be working fine and recognizing Cobol structures) Any idea how to ensure Language Server behaves in the same way as MF ? We are NOT using directives.mf files so far, but direct configuration on the Rocket C

I'm excited to share my work on integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Rocket UniVerse!  What is MCP?Model Context Protocol is a new standardized way for AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude to connect with external data sources and tools. Think of it as a the USB-C connector that lets AI assistants securely interact with your databases, APIs, and business systems. Why This Matters for MultiValueThis integration opens up powerful new possibilities for UniVerse users:- AI assistants can directly query your UniVerse databases- Natural language database interactions- Automated data analysis and reporting The ImplementationI've built an MCP server that enables seamless communication between AI assistants and Rocket UniVerse databases. This allows Claude and other AI tools to understand and work with your MultiValue data in real-time. Watch the DemoI've created a video walkthrough showing this in action:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdW6NvHuF_U In the video, you'll see:- How the M

Just putting this out there. I’ve had a couple of cases where people upgraded D3 to 10.3.3 or 10.3.4 and started having weird problems with MVSP. In both cases, we upgraded MVSP to 1.8.21 and it solved the issue. When upgrading D3, it’s not good to simply restore your existing MVSP account, especially if you’re going to 10.4. Anybody out there ready to upgrade, please contact me so I can get you the MVSP 1.8.21 version and help you install it. The reason it’s not posted in the RCP Downloads is because the pseudo tape is NOT a patch but rather an account-save, and the steps are different. We can post all day long, but afraid that the instructions will not get read and someone will try to use it as a patch.Most of you know where to find me (bcram@rocketsoftware.com) and many of you already have my cell phone number. If you can’t get to me by other means, just reply to this and I’ll reach out.

I am converting code from native COBOL to .NET and am looking for suggestions whereby in native COBOL I am using a dictionary that is set as an external item so that it can be referenced by a number of programs (DLL’s) but as this is not supported in .NET so I am trying to figure out a viable alternative.Any thoughts or suggestions?

We’re thrilled to announce the release of MV Performance Experience (MVX) 1.10.2.1582 on November 5, 2025, which is officially certified with UniVerse 14.2.1.This release is about making your experience smoother, faster, and more reliable.Email That Just WorksIf you’ve ever tried to send email from MVX and hit a wall, this update is for you. With 1.10.2, MVX now supports sending emails through registered SMTP configurations — and yes, that includes delivery to Outlook and Gmail. No more workarounds or wondering if your message made it through. It’s seamless, it’s reliable, and it’s built to keep your communications flowing.Smarter TroubleshootingWe know that when something goes wrong, you need answers fast. That’s why we’ve added DEBUG-level logging for email activity in both MVX and MVAdmin. Whether you're tracking down a delivery issue or just want visibility into what’s happening behind the scenes, the logs now give you the clarity you need to move quickly and confidently.Event Noti

Hello! I’m relatively new to UniVerse and Multi-valued databases, so my experience with BASIC is limited.I was writing a program with subroutine calls that I wanted to abstract via ‘@<var>’. This program had a “create output file data line” subroutine and a “finalize output file” subroutine. When I wrote these local subroutines (explicitly defined, not subroutine labels), I encountered an error where, when calling with ‘@’, only the first locally-defined subroutine would be found; the other subroutine would cause a runtime error, unable to be located. It was not found locally, and so the object database file (.O) was being searched, instead.For example:* ...IS.DONE = @FALSE* Main loopLOOP READNEXT FILE.NAME ELSE IS.DONE = @TRUE ENDUNTIL IS.DONE * ... OUPUT.FILE = "" PREPARE.DATA.SUBR = "" FINALIZE.FILE.SUBR = "" * case 1 BEGIN CASE CASE FILE.TYPE = TYPE.1 PREPARE.DATA.SUBR = "DO.SOMETHING.1" FINALIZE.FILE.SUBR = "END.FILE.1" CASE FILE.TYPE = TYP

We are looking at trying to enhance some of our VUE apps to be more reactive with the DB.  I was wondering if MVIS supported any webhooks for VUE applications.   We have build a nodejs server that will communicate with our D3 server and watch for changes and then our VUE app will await the webhook and update the application with the changes.  The proof of concept works but I really hate adding one more server, nodejs in the mix of things that could go wrong.   We are still using the Zumasys MultiValue Dashboard interface for all our web to D3 services.

I have two bp file that both exist in Github: IO.BP and WEBAPPS.BP.  I have a subroutine in WEBAPPS.BP that I am updating in vscode.  It has this include statement “$INCLUDE IO.BP IO.INS”  vscode still shows all the variables using that file as undefined variables.  I have tried adding them to the includeMapping, but it still doesn’t fix it.  Both folders exist in c:\git-workspace\IO.BP and c:\git-workspace\WEBAPPS.BP.  This is for Universe. I also tried adding the folder to the workspace. How can I fix this in vscode?

Hello ChangeMan ZMF Community, It has been a longer process than we anticipated, but we now have the Ideas (Enhancements) portal available. This is a different portal than what we had under Micro Focus and Open Text and as such the former Ideas needed to be migrated from the prior portal to new portal that Rocket Software uses. Unfortunately, many of userids attached to the Ideas were not migrated. When possible, the original author's userid were appended to the description. Also, because the Ideas portal is different from the ChangeMan ZMF Community Forum it will require a new registration and it's a different link: Rocket Software Customer Ideas Portal We have been able to add a link from the ChangeMan ZMF Community Forum page on the right-hand panel (Ideas and Enhancements), which will bring you to the new Rocket Ideas Portal for ChangeMan ZMF. Our apologies to all our customers and users, as this has been a long process. We thank you for your patience as we worked through the proce
