Forgive me if this has been asked before.  We're running an emulation called BluVista and we're thinking of slowly migrating to Accuterm or wIntegrate. I see in Accuterm , using some emulations that I should be able to get an answerback.  I wrote a sample program to send a CHAR(5) to trigger the answerback and when I run the program I do in fact see the answerback string displayed on the screen but I cannot figure out how to capture that string programmatically.  I've tried input, inputif, etc and I never see the string in the input buffer. Has anyone on here successfully used the answerback string in Accuterm?

Hi, Does anyone know if there's a function in "Universe Basic" to get the cursor position (row and column)? Thank you very much.

No supported signature schemes exist SSH.   I know that upgrading these to 8.1.2 corrects the issue, but we have over 200 installs of AccuTerm that we need to upgrade, but would like to upgrade Solaris first.  Any solutions?

Recently my menu/tool bars are missing when in the Wintegrate editor.  I've looked around and cannot find a way to get the bars back in the editor.  Is this possible?------------------------------Jason WiningerProgrammerRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

We use mvBase extensively, along with Accuterm (GUI). We need to re-platform to another mv product as mvBase is EOL. We were all ready to go down the OpenQM  route, then Rocket aquirred the product and all development seems to have stopped! ( We have been deliberating the move for some time.) We have  looked at jBase and D3.  Rocket are pushing us down the D3 the path. I don't see many posts about D3 improvements, it all appears to be Universe or Unidata. So my question is, what would be your platform of choice if you were moving away from your current mv version, or are you happy with your current platform for the foreseeable future (5+ years). Many thanks. Richard Olds------------------------------Richard OldsSnr DeveloperCalidore Computer Systems LtdGATESHEAD GB------------------------------

Can anyone suggest a video showing how to use a simple HELLO WORLD program in Visual Basic that can be executed and run in Visual Studio Code? I installed the Java JDK as instructed by the Rocket extension but when I run the program it keeps asking me to install the extension (even though the Rocket extension shows as already installed). My simple test program has a suffix of '.vb' but the Rocket instructions said it must be '.b'. Does that mean the extension is only for BASIC and not for VISUAL BASIC programs?!? When I did change my simple program's extension from '.vb' to '.b', I received this message from VSC which I don't understand or know how to correct: Java 11 or Open JDK 11 runtime environment is irregular. Please check your Java environment and settings. Thanks in advance to all who reply.Dan reply to Christian Bristow: Thanks for your reply but apparently, the extension referred to in Stack Overflow is no longer available.

Hello, I've looked online, and from what I can tell: there's no information on either of the question. We've run into an issue where a call is issued, but the operation is terminated or cancelled, but there's no way to signal the same to UniVerse. The other problem we've is: we "believe" we're hitting the maximum connections allowed, which leads to delayed responses on the front end as the call "waits" for the connection to become available again. I wonder is there a way to check the connection availability ahead of time, instead of just sitting there. Thank you!

Jeannette Shea September 17, 2024 Introducing a new e-learning module covering Rocket MVIS, the MultiValue Integration Server. MVIS, a tool for Rocket® UniVerse and Rocket® UniData® customers, that will help you extend business opportunities, expand your workforce with new developers, and get products to market faster. MVIS allows you to easily expose both your MV data and business logic as RESTful APIs. These new APIs allow you to extend existing apps and create new ones using emerging frameworks and languages, which will keep your MultiValue application relevant. Take a look at our customer’s success with MVIS in these case studies: Tailored Brands - Building a Modern Experience with Rocket® UniVerse SMC - Maximizing ERP Investment by Modernizing with MVIS During the e-learning module, you’ll create an API in your own personal Virtual Lab. You’ll learn how: To create endpoints for files and subroutines and how to call these endpoints. To install and configure MVIS. OpenTelemetry

June 8, 2022 As a Sales Engineer, a question I often get from customers is, “Which API (application programming interface) should I use?” I usually will answer “It depends”. In this article I will discuss the APIs and the “depends”. Hope you’ll find it useful and informative. Of all the U2 APIs, I prefer MVIS because RESTful services have become a standard API interface that natively supports the nested data model. Many of our customers have replaced U2REST with MVIS, and are realizing the benefits of automation, integration, and ease of use. (a.k.a. “how to get your new features and applications to market faster”) In addition, many have found that it dovetails into their broader modernization strategy. This enables customers to develop web/mobile applications without needing to know about U2. Customers using ODBC with desktop applications like Excel, could now offer a RESTful services interface and not have to use VSG or HS.ADMIN to define ODBC access. Just like XML, JSON is a great

Kathy Larson July 12, 2023 We’re pleased to announce the release of Rocket® AccuTerm® 8.1, an established terminal emulator for MultiValue applications. To improve its functionality and security, Rocket AccuTerm 8.1 now offers a seamless single sign-on experience, a true web version (i.e., with no hosted dependencies on Rocket Software) with features that match its desktop counterpart, and adherence to the industry's leading software security standards, including Synopsys Black Duck, Polaris, and VeraCode. These advancements mark a step forward for MultiValue terminal emulation, empowering users with enhanced productivity, accessibility, and ease of use. Single Sign-On With the release of 8.1, Rocket has recognized the importance of simplifying AccuTerm user access and security. The implementation of single sign-on (SSO) eliminates the need for multiple login credentials, providing a seamless experience between Windows desktops and MultiValue systems. With SSO, users can connect to Mu

Is anyone able to connect to a remote server?I've added Rocket MV Basic 2.6.0 to VS Code. Have 'Open Folder'ed an empty folder, 'Initialize'd and 'Edit Server Config' setting... {     "datasource": "UNIDATA",     "servers": [         {             "address": "HOSTNAME",             "name": "HOSTNAME",             "username": "xxxx",             "password": "****",             "account": "demo",             "port": 31438         }     ] } [address, name, username and password all obfuscated] On my server 'demo' exists in ud_database. I try to 'Connect' and get an error 'Account demo undefined in UNIDATA'. I can see on the server that a session logs on (by locally cataloguing a UOLOGIN subroutine that logs the log on). I'm able to connect to the same server using the same settings from a U2.Data.Client .NET application. Is the source to this 'Rocket MV Basic' extension on Github so I can attempt to debug?

July 12, 2022 I’m happy to introduce to you the Rocket MV BASIC for Visual Studio Code Extension Feature Review series! In this series, I will cover useful features related to editing, compiling, and debugging using the Rocket MV BASIC for Visual Studio Code Extension. I’ll start by covering the editing feature, specifically formatting. Background Reading legacy BASIC code can be challenging because different developers have different coding styles, and BASIC language grammar is so flexible. The formatting functionality can help you unify the BASIC program style and improve readability. Recommended Configuration The formatting functionality provides you with more than 20 configuration options to choose from. To make your BASIC programs more readable and concise, I recommend that you consider using the core format options shown below. Parameters Values Description “style.keywordCase” “uppercase” “lowercase” “titlecase” “keep” All keywords and statements should have the same

MV folks, We have a GUI client that runs only in Windows to access our MV/Universe application - and am looking for input from other MV community members on Windows functionality / partition / whatever on a Mac for some users at a new customer.

We turn on work wrap in our Grids. However, we would like to programmatically force a line feed in a cell of the grid. We have not found the character to use to force this to happen. we would typically do: tmp.tab<1,row.ptr,col.ptr> = data.record<1,1>:data.record<1,2> we would like the data.record<1,2> to be on the second line in the cell of the table we have tried the pipe character (such as Combobox in a grid column).  Have not found this in the manual and/or several places online.------------------------------Jesse TilliaProman-ERP, Inc.West Seneca NY US------------------------------

One of my customers has several users who work on both the workstation at their desk and from other locations on a laptop.  Will the Personal installation allow for a single seat to be used for installations on two machines as long as they are only using one at a time?  Or will they have to use the Portable installation on a memory stick?

I have installed the DBTOOLS BASIC DEVELOPER TOOL KIT but I am having issues. Here is some info and a couple of issues I am having and would like some suggestions or advice on what to do next or what I may have done wrong.  We went through the install steps and see these were installed. The BDT launches but fails to update the subroutines. I set permissions on the folder to /usr/ibm/uv/BP.O to write for everyone but it still fails. When connecting I get the following messages and click OK to update. I have set the permissions to the folder so that everyone has write permissions but still get this error. Since the program launches, I decide to try something simple like opening a program but get this error. The source code does exist in file of the shown in the VOC of CK.DATE. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have one user who has severe mouse problems inside a spreadsheet that has been executed from AccuTerm.  If the same spreadsheet is opened from Excel itself or from the file explorer, everything works normally.  The problem is a severe lag in any mouse commands.  If the user clicks on a cell, it is 2 to 5 seconds before the cell that was clicked on becomes selected.  If the user tries to drag a selection in order to select multiple cells, there is also a severe lag. The user is on the latest version of Accuterm I have which is 8.1.2.1137.  The mouse pattern file is identical to what I and other people are using. Has anyone encountered this before?

Hi   I am now starting to role out the Accuterm Front-end developments, we purchased 3 licenses 12 months ago and have only used one.  Yesterday I tried to Activate a new terminal as the second of our terminals but    The activation screen just says  Internet access required at bottom - yes it has internet access but the Activation Button is grayed out   🙁 Can anyone help please  Many Thanks Chris Baxter------------------------------Chris Baxter MDCB SoftIPSWICH GB------------------------------

After being unsuccessful installing the server side of AccuTerm 8 either from my Cisco VPN connection or from a local to the network workstation, Metro's IT department suggested that I install the AccuTerm client onto the server and try the "install server" step from there.  The results have been pretty much identical.  I have copied some screenshots below.  The process has completed only the establishment of the FTBP directory and the installation of FTPBPINST into that directory.  This leaves me with three questions:  Has anyone been successful in installing the server side of AccuTerm on a windows, (2022) server?  Is the windows server just not possible?  Is there a manual step by step process that I can follow to make this installation?  I sure would appreciate some help. Dale Thanks

After I converted to Windows 11, FT.IMPORT now hangs after the message "Converting spreadsheet.xlsx from Excel format for upload...".  I use this program constantly.  I'm also having some freezing issues when I use subroutines that show a GUI window.  I found the thread "Accuterm GUI lockup on windows 11" which strongly suggests upgrading to at least 8.0.1123 or 8.0.1127 as those versions have fixed some Windows 11 problems.  I currently have version 8.0.1023.  Is it likely that upgrading would solve the FTIMPORT problem too?------------------------------Steve HenkelDirector of ISRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------
