Connect/Disconnect U2 Server not working

We just upgraded one of our Universe servers to 11.4.1 and i'm trying to set up the MVVS extension in Visual Studio Code to connect to remote Universe.

I installed extension Rocket MV basic version 2.7.1

set up db.mvbasic.json with:

"db:{

      "host": "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
      "userName": "xxxxxx",
       "password": "xxxxxx",
       "account": "XDEMO",
       "dataSource": "UNIVERSE",
      "port": 31438

}

When I attempt to F1 -> Connect/Disconnect U2 Server,   nothing at all happens. 

I see in the extension Runtime Status:

Uncaught Errors (11)

 Pending response rejected since connection got disposed

 Client is not running and can't be stopped. It's current state is: starting

 Client is not running and can't be stopped. It's current state is: startFailed

 Client is not running and can't be stopped. It's current state is: startFailed

Is there anything in the XDEMO account I should check, any programs missing/ not cataloged?   I've gone through all the online documentation I can find several times.  I'm at a loss.... thanks in advance.

Hi Bob,

Did you intend to use port "3143"? Try "31438"

I am using port 31438, sorry.  my copy/paste skills are lacking, apparently ...

I also tried setting up an empty folder from Rocket Explorer, initializing it, then updating the config, and right-click on Klavier to connect.  nothing.

Hi Bob,

There are only a few things to prepare for an online connection. 

• The extension java path setup
• VS Code file association for rocket-mvbasic

A good starting point would be to review  your server's online log file:

.rmvonline\\logs\\rocket_mv_basiclanguage_server.log 

At a guess, you need to open up your firewall? Check both the client and server side.

If you create a support ticket with Rocket Software, I'd be happy to call you to help narrow down the issue.

The MVVS extension is working for local files as far as highlighting and formatting, etc. 

When you say the server log files, you mean the Universe server on AIX?      I dont see a "log" directory in my local folder. 

I will attempt to open a support ticket.  Thanks.

Hi Bob,

It's the language server log that sits in the .rmvonline (online setup files) and .rmv (local setup files) eg

c:\\U2\\UV\\HS.SALES\\.rmv\\logs\\rocket_mv_basic_language_server.log  (among local account files)

c:\\CB\\VScode_temp\\UniVerse\\.rmvonline\\logs\\rocket_mv_basic_language_server.log  ( in remote setup files)

Okay, Universe I am attempting to connect  is running on a remote server on IBM/AIX.  

You still have two options:

1) Local mode ie mapping your MV accounts to a local drive. When it comes to compile/catalog you would then have to make a connection to the UniVerse server on AIX. The source then gets copied over to UnIVerse during compilation/catalog

2) Direct access to the BASIC source on the server aka "online mode". You should be able to connect provided port 31438 is open but the configuration files for this remain on your local machine ie where you initialized the folder in preparation.

I'm still struggling with trying to connect from my remote laptop to the Universe/AIX server.     The exact same configuration works on a co-workers laptop.  we are both connecting to the same company VPN and are on the same subnet.  

All I see on my end is in the MV Basic Extension under Feature | Runtime Status:

Hi Bob,

I am guessing client is a reference to the uoj client ie your laptop. Is this output from the rocket_mv_basic_language_server.log ? 

in Visual Studio Code, I clicked on Extensions > Rocket MV BASIC > Features > Runtime Status

im not aware of any 'uoj' client on my laptop. there is no mention of a client needed in the extension documentation.

there is no 'log' subdirectory under my new empty folder. do I need to activate logging, and how?

Hello Bob, 

For the benefit of the forum readers. I should note we had a call earlier, and your extension installation doesn't appear to work correctly. It's likely permissions or a firewall playing up. We will do some further tests in this area to get to the bottom of it.
