Hello ChangeMan ZMF Community, 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 for your patience as we worked through the proce

This all works correctly with a Linux host of Centos 7 and Rocky Linux 8 but not with Rocky Linux 9. Host: Rocky Linux 9.4, docker 28.2.0 and MF Visual COBOL 6.0 When /var/microfocuslicensing/bin/startboth.sh is run as the docker image starts, lserv starts correctly and mfcesd seems to start but hangs so mfcesdchk fails to communicate with the license server.  A pstack of mfcesd shows: On a Rocky Linux 9 docker image:#0  0x00007fe3acf7c1f7 in close () from /lib64/libc.so.6#1  0x000000000040ab11 in daemonize ()#2  0x000000000040e7b5 in main () It takes over 10 minutes to actually start so that mfcesdchk returns correctly. I am just trying to debug if this is a docker on Rocky 9 issue or inside the mfcesd daemonize code.  Any ideas or trace info that can be turned on while mfcesd is starting up to determine where it is hanging?------------------------------Eric HardestyRocket Software Forum Member------------------------------

Hi community,Plateforme : windows server 2016, uv 14.1.1.1002, Over the past few days, we’ve been experiencing random errors on uv static files. The same error messages appear repeatedly — expected blink 0x0 or 0x10000.These errors can occur up to ten times a day and affect various files (e.g., VOC, XXPROCESS, XXPPP, etc.), the most strange is these files are mainly used for read.... To resolve them temporarily, we use fixtool -fix (at boot uv, else the files are locked). Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this?We’ve already checked our antivirus, but the problem persists.Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated ;) With kind regards Manu

Using AccuTerm 8.1.1.1136 we are connecting to a windows 2022 server running OpenSSH server.  Connection works and we can log in but the AccuTerm escape sequences are hit and miss.For example we can issue the escape sequence to run on the caps lock without issue, but when running the escape sequence to turn off the caps lock nothing happens.  The sequences are “ESC:STX:L” for caps lock on and “ESC:STX:M” for caps lock off.I turned on data capture and can see the correct data getting sent for the caps lock on, but either nothing is sent or the wrong sequence is sent for the caps lock off.We can run “ESC:STX:?”, “ESC:STX:I” and get the correct responses.Trying to change the terminal size to 132 or 80 characters, “ESC:STX:E” and “ESC:STX:N” nothing will happen.We have tried running Bitvise instead of the Windows OpenSSH server and had similar results.Changes to terminal type, character set/code, SSH configurations and more have had no changes.While we are connecting to an OAS instance, I
