I’d like to update my copy of Rocket Terminal Emulator from 10.1 to 10.3. However:RTE 1.0 help says “Download the Rocket TE CD image”, but it doesn’t say where to download it from. The only download page I could find is one that offers a 30-day trial and requires an email address, name, etc. Rocket Terminal Emulator is not listed on www.rocketsoftware/en-us/products. Even in this forum, “Rocket Host Access” is the closest product name I could find.Where do I find a copy to download? Thanks.

How can you call up NOTEPAD from within D3 on a Windows 11 machine?I tried…EXECUTE “!NOTEPAD”The program seems to try to shell out, but it doesn’t call up notepad.I’m coming from mvBase and have shelled out to NOTEPAD from there extensively.

We have may programs that use basic format like “R%8” to prefill zeroes that were not entered or came from Excel who loves to strip them off.We just updated our development server from 11.3.1.6022 to 14.2.1.If your basic program takes a number in missing leading zeroes, “R%8” would turn 1234 into 00001234 in UV 11.3.1.  However, on 14.2.1, it acts like a simple “R#8” and does not add the leading zeroes.Does anyone have an idea why this functionality changed and what to do to correct it?  This could damage many of our files’ data that rely on this functionality.Nelson Schroth

Implementing a mainframe modernization project using Rocket ED and Rocket ES on AWS. Target will run on RHEL. ED v11has been installed on AWS Workspace for individual developers.ES v11 has be installed on RHEL 9.8. On the ED, developers are creating remote projects on ED installed on Single Shared Linux box where the code will be compiled and tested. During development environment setup, we experienced challenges with remote compilation/builds from Enterprise Developer (on aws workspace) to a shared Linux environment. As a workaround, we provisioned dedicated EC2 instances for individual developers, with ED installed and configured on each developer server. This approach was also intended to provide isolated development workspaces and local Git repositories for concurrent development activities.Would like to confirm:Whether provisioning a dedicated EC2 instance per developer is recommended/supported architecture for Rocket Enterprise Developer. Whether a shared Linux build environment

I’d like to configure the system to read the LDAP list of users (Name and SamAccountName). I have perused the documentation on creating an LDAP path, and defining ‘entities’ to allow for data retrieval. However, I am utterly lost, as I have no knowledge whatsoever if the underlying structure to be able to make out the definition of the ‘entity’. This seems to be untestable in a step by step way, you have to have the server, organisation, etc all in place to do a test, and I don’t know if my selected answers for any of them are in the right ballpark so I can’t configure a baseline test. Has anyone got a simple ‘person’ entity for LDAP I can ‘borrow’? Regards, Iain

Greetings Rocketeers!We are on WIndows, preparing to move from Universe 11.xxx to 14.xxxHave any of y’all made this upgrade recently?  Were there any functional issues after upgrading?  Is there a test plan available anywhere we could get our hands? Many THX,

Hi all,I have a problem where if I try to set the enter key from the GUI Designer, to behave the same as tab except for multiline text or command button - once I set this option and press ok - if I go back to the option it has been defaulted back to Normal.This happens every time and on different work stations - is it just a bug or am I doing something wrong?Any help appreciated!Many thanksMike

Running Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition and Visual Cobol Personal Edition. Fired up Visual Studio and tried to open one of my solutions. Received  the attached errors. All the programs in Solution Explorer were marked ‘Incompatible’.  I’m unsure as to whether this means my license has expired or whether it is a different problem.Please see attached.TIA

We have had a problem since updating uniface to ‘recent’ patches (16, 32, and now 42). The Global Search from the ADDITIONAL.uar appears to lock up and never come back. There is no progress indicator on the latest version (I’m sure it used to tell you where it was looking in U9...) Is anyone else encountering this? Or do you not use it because XXX. Please let me know if it’s working for you. I did try replacing the uar file with the latest from the downloads, no change in behaviour. Hey Unifacers, any chance of making the source more ‘open’ so I could have a hack at it? Regards, Iain

I have written a simple ‘login’ form as a DSP. When run in chrome focus is placed in the ‘username’ field. When run using $widgetoperation("LoadURL",v_url) in a uniface form, with the only visible field being the html widget, (mapped top, bottom, left. right) no field has focus, and tab is required to get focus on the username field. I have tried setting $prompt to the html field just before the edit command. And using the .focus() property of the name field in a webactivate of javascript at the very end of the exec trigger in the dsp. Putting an alert in the javascript indicates the focus is set before the ‘placeholder’ values are removed from the data (and the labels etc assigned) so I think that is too early. Is there a trigger fired when uniface has done all it’s work on populating the fields and labels using ux- or can someone tell me why the behaviour is likely to be different between cefrender and chrome for gettinf the focus in the first place? Regards, Iain 

Our IT services have employed a company to test vulnerabilities. They are reporting an out of date Oracle Java version on our machine, which is patched to patch 10.4.3.042What do people know about updating the Java version independently? Is it ‘safe’ to do so? Or will bits of the uniface environment stop working?  Where is the installation folder to overwrite, or is that automatic?  (afterthought) WHat happens when we patch uniface, does it reset, or is it smart enough to not update a later version? Regards, Iain

BackgroundCurrently, I have added and enabled a VSAM External Security Manager (ESM) to my Rocket Enterprise Server. I added the VSAM ESM to the security managers list at the ES Administration and Directory Server security domain levels. I can sign on using the users I manage at the ES Administration level through the VSAM ESM’s verification and authentication. The IssueAlthough I have added the same VSAM ESM I’m using at the ES Administration and Directory Server security domains to the region’s security facility configuration, I cannot start the region using any of the default users provided in the default VSAM ESM. In the region, I navigated to [General → Verify]. On the Verify page, I clicked the [Run] button and got some more insight. It seems it is successfully loading the ESM configuration “VSAM ESM”, but it has failed to initialize the SAF manager due to reason 16. The error message states, “Safmgr initialization failed, reason = 16”. I can’t start the region using the VSAM ESM

Universe 11.3.1,  AIX 7200-05-11-2546We noticed when comparing very large numbers they don’t correctly evaluate to not equal. Specifically, if two variables are over 17 characters in length and they don’t match correctly. See the below sample program and its output. The (X NE Y) does not evaluate to true until the length of the strings are 17 characters even though the variables are never equal. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?  X = '0587634906513946593645'Y = '0587634906513946593646' FOR Z = 1 TO 8  CRT X, Y, (X NE Y),LEN(X)  STRLN = LEN(X)  X = RIGHT(X,STRLN-1)  Y = RIGHT(Y,STRLN-1)NEXT ZOutput:0587634906513946593645        0587634906513946593646        0         22        587634906513946593645         587634906513946593646         0         21        87634906513946593645          87634906513946593646          0         20        7634906513946593645 7634906513946593646 0         19                            634906513946593645  634906513946593646  0         18        

Windows Server 2008 R2 StandardService Pack 1LicensesNo limit, local hostedCobol Server (Production)the license server runs, and the runtime refers to that server for the license. Can i revoke the license on the llicense server, then revoke the production server license, and reinstall with the same number on the runtime server, except not referring to the license server, but local? Local is how our staging runtime server is set up. Just want to put that out there, in case there are other issues.

Hi all, For an analysis I’m exploring the ESCWA portal. I got it set up using the Visual Cobol installation.It comes with a trial key. All looks great. I can program COBOl and run the applications. Greate.But then, when I try to create a region in the dashboard, I’m prompted that “I have no valid license”.When I check the license manager that came with the installation, it shows I have 500 more days left.So the “portal” doesn’t consider this license.I then thought “perhaps I need to get a trial license for the server seperate”, but it’s impossible to find. Support also isn’t being helpful.I could find this link to “request a trial version” but it’s not working properly, hence I don’t know they receive 30 requests by now or it never went through: http://cabs.microfocus.com/products/enterprise-suite/enterprise-server/trial in the portals and confsing different dashboards, i could find something like “download trials”  but it never shows the enterpreise server. Is there any way to set up

A recent client asked how we produce different type documents within in the Universe/Unidata database. There is no Rocket Software product that does that I am aware of. Using a Eclipse open-source product called BIRT with a Universe/Unidata ODA interface you can produce all of those types and more. So, am I right about no Rocket Software product that creates reports in different formats?

I can’t remember the initiation command to use instead of “uv” to enable multiple concurrent sessions.  Can someone help me?Thanks, Dale

Hi,When the source file (CBL) and any ancillary copybooks have been saved with an encoding of UTF-8 BOM then I am getting some strange behaviour with characters such as high-values when moving a PIC X group into a string and then moving it back out into a PIC X group.My question is whether there a compiler option or some other mechanism whereby the source files are automatically converted to ASCII or UTF-8 at the time of building the dll?Thanks
