If you use Slack you can create a channel, and using the /feed command, get your personalized Forum feed delivered to you in real time.So how do you create a personalized feed?If you log onto the forum and head to your profile page, one of the tabs you'll see is "My Account," and "RSS feed" is an option on that menu. Add the forums you want to receive updates on and copy the feed link into your reader of choice. Hint: if you don't see a forum you're interest in on the list, be sure you've already joined that forum from the All Forums page.   What other questions do you have about the forum? What topics do you want to see us discuss more? And remember we have a refreshed site design coming in just a few weeks, so let me know what improvements you'd like to see.Best regards, Dave------------------------------Dave AndrewsHead of Customer EngagementRocket Software------------------------------

Can anyone think of a real-world use for the field/value/subvalue positions of a SAVING Field in a select list? An apparent UniVerse implementation decision results with BY clauses leaving only the ID or SAVING value in the select list, and BY.EXP adding value, field, and subvalue (record.idVvalueSfieldVsubvalue as documented in the keyword section for BY.EXP in the User Reference). During the sorting phase of BY and BY.EXP, the information serves a purpose. After sorting, I do not believe it serves any purpose. So, is there a real-world use for the field/value/subvalue positions of a SAVING Field in a select list? The SAVING value becomes the record ID of a subsequent SELECT or LIST. The SAVING Field would need to be an ID of file where a field/value/subvalue position holds some correspondence with a next BY.EXP and the original file and SELECT. The record: >ed MV1 19A 4 lines long. ----: ^ Up-arrow display mode = enabled Top. ----: p 0001: 9^2538 (9 v 8) 0002: 7^2536^2535 (

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?

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.

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

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---------------------
