Hi community, I hope you're all doing well. I'm new to this forum and could use some guidance. Can anyone tell me which sub-forum is best for Exceed Turbo X users? I'm eager to connect with fellow users and make the most of my experience here. Thanks in advance! Best, Stefan

Hello Rocket Community, This message is geared towards our ChangeMan ZMF users. 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

Hello Rocket Software community, I'm currently working with Rocket UniVerse and have encountered performance issues when handling large datasets, particularly during peak usage times. It seems that the hardware configuration might be contributing to the problem. To resolve this, I am exploring ways to optimize both hardware and software settings, including utilizing Smart PC setups for smoother operation. Here are a few specific areas I'd appreciate feedback on: Smart PC configurations: Does anyone have experience using Smart PC setups for Rocket Software applications? Any configurations that helped with performance improvements, especially in database processing? Memory and CPU optimizations: Have you successfully optimized memory allocation or CPU usage when running Rocket UniVerse? Any insights on settings that can reduce lag or boost processing speed? High-load resource management: What steps have you taken to manage resources effectively when the system is under heavy load?

As part of your migration path, we have been slowly introducing Accuterm GUI calls from our TEXT screen subroutines. It all looks great and working well EXCEPT I cannot  bind the model forms or dialog boxes to the Accuterm Window displaying the Green Screen. I need to make the GUI forms and dialog boxes remain within the boundary of the green screen (Accuterm window) and more importantly ON TOP (always visible). If a user clicks anywhere on the green screen, then the GUI dialog/form disappears in behind the screen. Yes, is model so prevents the users moving forward but can anyone help me on this. I do not wish to call a script as there a lot of arguments passing between the green screen and GUI. It would make it beyond clumsy.  and secondly the splash screen ' This session is running a GUI application' appears in the middle of the green screen. The message has no use, is invasive and needs to be removed. Can anyone help with that also. Any advice will be greatly received.

Hi All,    I am working on V05 to V10 upgrade in Linux and currently performing the compilation of the code using cob64 and facing below issues. Appreciate your help with these issues, attached the compiler options used for reference.    1)  .so file not Created during Bulk compile    We are using the below command to compile the programs, the process is creating .int, .idy , .o and .so file during the compilation if I perform the task for one module by specifying the full name but only .int, .idy and .o is created if I use wildcard *.cbl to pickup all the program. Could some one please help with the correct option to create the .so files during bulk compilation.     cob64 -z -v -k ./SRC/*.cbl -N OBJ"/home/jenkins/loadlib/batload/" -a -g -C "USE(/opt/microfocus/EnterpriseDeveloper/cobol.dir)" -C "USE(/opt/microfocus/EnterpriseDeveloper/sql.dir)" -C "USE(/opt/microfocus/EnterpriseDeveloper/batch.dir)" -U   2) Compilation of Programs with special characters failing         Some of the pr

Subject: D3.py Installation Issues - Python 3.11 - Seeking Help Hi everyone, I'm struggling to get D3.py working with Python 3.11, and I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot the installation process. I've gone through the documentation, but I'm finding it a bit unclear, and I'm stuck at the very first step. Specifically, when I try to import D3.py in a Python session: import d3py I get the "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'd3py'" error. I've attempted to install D3.py using pip: pip install d3py However, this results in a "File not found" error, even when I execute the command from the directory where I believe D3.py is located. To ensure we're on the same page, could we please assume a clean setup? Here's my current environment: Python 3.11 is installed and working. I have a copy of D3.py (with the Python license). I suspect the issue might be related to how D3.py is installed or how Python is finding the module. I'm also confused about the .pyconfig file. The docum

Hi all, I'm currently using my laptop (Windows 11, and occasionally Linux Mint via dual boot) for some light Rocket terminal emulation work, mainly accessing UniVerse environments. While everything generally works, I've noticed some inconsistencies in performance and a few UI glitches in the terminal, especially during longer sessions or when switching between networks. I'm wondering: Is there an optimized setup or configuration for terminal emulation on Windows or Linux laptops? Any recommended terminal emulators or tools that work particularly well with Rocket environments? Are there specific settings (buffer size, fonts, encoding, etc.) that improve the experience? Does anyone here prefer Linux over Windows for this kind of work - and why? I'd really appreciate any tips or best practices from others using laptops for Rocket terminal emulation, especially for development or light production monitoring. Thanks in advance for any advice!------------------------------Tammy Gom

Hey everyone, Let he who is without sin cast the first... line of AI-generated code! 😜 So, I've stumbled upon a fun fact: Turns out, if you whisper the magic word "PICK" to Google Gemini, it'll cough up some code snippets. Forget I said D3, that was so last week and Gemini refers some other arb platform Does anyone else have some hilarious or surprisingly useful AI-assisted coding stories to share? Happy Friday, may your bugs be shallow and easily squashed! 🍻Stefano ------------------------------Stefano GallottaManaging MemberSimply Red Open SystemsMilnerton ZA------------------------------

Hi everyone. Like, I think, the majority of users of the forum, I'm receiving emails when something is posted on one of the forums of the Rocket's product I use (in my case, Uniface). Lately, on this particular thread (General Discussion & Announcements) it seems that there are a lot of posts seeking for support on particular technologies (Cobol, Red Hat, ChangeMan ZMF (?), etc.) that I think doen't belong in this part of the forum : "For topics unrelated to a Rocket product, such as general news, questions about the forum itself, etc." Is it because there are not forums for those technologies ? Or maybe there are no moderators to move topics in the right place ? Anyway, and all my apologies if I might look annoying, but opening lots of mail that doesn't concern me is a bit time wasting, and I think maybe other thinks like me. No offense to anyone who posted problem here :-) Thanks ------------------------------Jean-Marc SALISMp ServicesMontauban Cedex FR---------------------

Hi  I am concerned that upgrading our Red Hat Enterprise operating system from version 7.4 to 7.9 may affect our LGU license.

Good Day.I have a 2x Windows 2022 Server that is running in Azure that is Joined to the same Domain that is allocate in the Client office.Universe is loaded on each of the Windows Server 2022 in Azure. All my test is running of the 2 servers. I have a Domain user as well as a Local user.  I am using Dynamic Connect First Test Server 1. use the Domain user via Dynamic ConnectAfter you enter the password until it displays for you which Account you want to login .it take 23 second to pop up. See screenshot below With the local User it takes 1 second to pop up. Then, I move to the second server that is on the same domain, authenticate to the same Domain. Use the same Domain user, Same test via Dynamic Connect.The login there are 2 second to pop up. Did anyone have this issue before? Is the Issue with the Domain or Universe. If you can just point me into the correct directions to resolve this issue Thank you------------------------------Armand SteynSelf RegisteredGermiston ZA--------------
