Today we are publishing a new case study detailing how Eurotunnel is using MVIS and U2 Python to modernize their MV-based reservation system. Geoff Bishop and team faced challenges related to adopting modern web development, integrating with third parties and attracting new development talent. Eurotunnel, a long time MultiValue customer, fully developed their reservation system using UniVerse, Web DE and other MV tools.  With the business objective of preserving and building on their investment, MVIS and Python presented them with a great opportunity to modernize by continuing to trust  Rocket and MultiValue technology.

hi rocket-mvbasic team,Thank you for your good job.a few trouble I'll share . 1/ if we have multiple include, the outline is badly organized , reflect nodes nested where it's not. 2/ we are used to define multiple and nested include, outline become unusable, totally 'mixed', show tree nodes which are not.... 3/ please in the OUTLINE view, can you put the symbols into a tree-node named like the include record id ?  likethis? - symbol a - symbol b - file/id |- symbol c |- symbol d |- symbol e - file/id |- symbol c |- symbol d |- symbol e |- file/id |- symbol f |- symbol g |- symbol h ...   ------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

hi rocket-mvbasic team,Thanks for the CodeLens fuction. may I ask for a 'language switch' to turn it on/off ?  settings.json "rocket-mvbasic.referencesCodeLens.showOnAllFunctions": false/true on large source code review, it can be annoying, but let the editor.action.peekDefinition, editor.action.referenceSearch.trigger, codelens.showLensesInCurrentLine commands actives !I know I can turn "editor.codeLens": false/true but it apply to all languages.the best will be a command 'rocket-mvbasic.showCodeLensonCurrentFile'  setinto a 'right click option' or shortcutkey  to turn it on/off on the current source code only !thanks------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

Hi, I receive the update to the release 1.1.2 - fine.Can you list the enhancement / fix of the release ? Can we provide problems feeback ? With kind regardsmanu Fernandes

We're pleased to announce the availability of Rocket® MV BASIC for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) v1.1.2 Rocket MV BASIC for VS Code offers features to help your developers modernize, simplify, and work more productively. We are developing and releasing MV BASIC for VS Code (MVVS) at regular intervals to provide more frequent enhancements and fixes. Version 1.1.2 includes editing feature enhancements: Code Lens (New) allows you to review your code and find references to variables, functions, or subroutines without leaving the editor. Signature Help has been enhanced to automatically update the parameter lists of user-defined functions when editing the BASIC files that contain those functions. Other Enhancements: Three new statements have been added to Code Folding to further improve code readability for large blocks of code: WHILE and UNTIL clauses in loops as well as the LOCK statement.  The large code block surrounded by these statements can be folded into one line so that users c

Has anyone successfully been able to transfer binary files from server to client through SBClient (UniData)?It appeared to be possible to do a PD.LO using B and/or X options, and I tried also via UniBasic with OSREAD, but it does not work.  I opened a recent Rocket support case on this and the official answer was, despite some initial success from Rocket's side, ultimately it isn't supported (SBXA-18778).  Despite that news, I'm interested if anyone here has managed to get it working with (any version of) SBClient with some combination of luck and skill?  I have heard rumors it is possible if the file is uploaded through the client to the server in the first place, but that is not the case here.  The use case is, small Excel files are generated for reporting on the server.  The users would like to download these to their desktops.  I could arrange alternate delivery, but they prefer saving on their PC.  They are used to downloading .CSV files, which are text and transfer through SBClie

We have recently developed the code lens feature in vs code extension and would like to share it to you.This feature works for all basic definition statements, including: variable declarations, function declarations, equate declarations and label declarations. It also displays the number of references on these statements. Clicking on the value of a reference will display the specific reference information. See the following example for details. Also, if you want the feature to prompt other information, or if you have other ideas or comments, please share with us.Thanks!------------------------------Jingwen LiRocket------------------------------

Hi All, Recently we are investigating that how to implement BASIC compilation in VS Code extension. I want to share our ideas, and we are very appreciate if you can provide suggestions and ideas. (The following content is just our initial ideas and design prototypes.) The main use of compilation is to find out the errors or warnings after code change. User can choose to sync the source code to U2 server or not. If yes, source code and objective code on sever would be overwritten after compilation. Before using compilation, user needs connect to a U2 server. And we will provide 2 methods to compile BASIC programs. 1. Compile BASIC programs through VS Code task. User can run VS Code default build task to start compilation. We can provide a target files list in the task configuration file, so that multiple BASIC program files in current account folder could be built together. 2. Compile modified BASIC programs.User can right click a file in the editor to display context menu and select "

Hi,I'm fairly new to MVIS and I'm planning to enable Okta based authentication for all incoming request to my UV (v11.3.1) . This authentication method will be a token based authentication where a user will submit "client id" and "client secret" to generate a token (valid for a day) , which will be used to get the details from my UV files.I can see an option as "HTTP" authentication in MVIS with option as "OAuth"  but it only allows a filepath to be entered, which may not work with dynamic tokens.Has someone implemented a similar Okta based Authentication with MVIS and can share some thoughts on how to achieve token based authentication.Thanks,Amarendra

hi vscode users,I'll share a strange behavior with rocket-mvbasic 1.1.0, where the java runtime goes cpu high and really slow.The context of runtime is special - totaly isolated.On a client site, we have a  server dedicated to development and running windowsTerminal sessions where we develop with vscode / rocket-mvbasic extension. The server and our RDP sessions are not authorized to internetWe are not authorized to extract the code outside the client's server. When coding I note a high usage of cpu (17% ) by java running rocket-mvbasic. I note the extension respond really slowly - not at all, colorization is 'late' , code formatting is delayed 30sec to repond ... I'll join a  dump of the java process. windows dump java process (shared by onedrive)here the vscode/extension log vscode log (shared onedrive)Is anyone who share these bad experience ?

Hi All, is anyone using Wintegrate in conjunction with MFA? We're looking to implement DUO to do Radius based authentication. We are using Wintegrate v6.3.6 (Local Clients) to connect to Unidata for Windows (8.2.1. build 9104).I'm thinking we'd login in via Wintegrate as usual, but within the login voc we'd interact with DUO at that stage to do a push to mobile devices etc. for verification.I'd be interested to know if any other users have this in place.------------------------------Norrie SteeleMainetti UK Limited------------------------------

Hi,I'll share our experience to edit the BASIC code locally with vscode/rocket-mvbasic.Simply, we combine the rocket-mvbasic with sftp extension sftp sync extension for VS Code- setup a ssh service on your db-server c.f. ssh.com/academy- setup the two extensions under vscode.- create a local directory 'local-source'- inside the local-source, create a sub-directory named like your account you will edit the code- start vscode on local-source\\myaccount- save a workspace on local-source\\myaccount (to receive .vscode and .rmv settings)- start CommandPalett > Sftp: Config (which create a sub-dir .vscode and a sftp.json file you edit) { "name": "the name of the profile", "host": "servername", "protocol": "sftp", "port": 22, "username": "userid", "password": "password", "remotePath": "/path/to.myaccount", "uploadOnSave": true, "downloadOnOpen": true, "ignore": [ ".DS_Store", ".git", ".vscode", ".mvx-ide", ".hs_debuginfo", ".rnd", ".rmv",

Hi,Can we receive a enhancement at Symbols/Signature/Outline to include all symbols declared into a INCLUDE item ? Here is a little sample where I define some symbols (equates and variables) into TEST.INC item then I include TEST.INC into my TEST program.1/ the Outline pane do not show the TEST.INC's symbols1.1/ I suggest you create a sub-branch into the Outline tree called like the included item then list all declared symbols  V OUTLINE - TEXT.INC | $ZERO | ONE | TWO - A​ 2/ when I use the TEST.INC's symbols, Signature throw a 'Referenced undefined variable: ' ; which underline the symbols and fill the Problems PanelThis behavior induce a question is it a real error ? ...If you load the INCLUDE's symbols, no Signature problems occurs ... with kind ragards------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------
