Hi all,I would like to ask for your tips, advice and experiences with naming objects in Uniface. I'm working on a few open source projects and can't decide on the naming of the objects. And then the questions came…What choices do I have? What should I take into account? What are your recommendations? Do you have a naming standard that covers everything? Etc etc etc... :) There is so much to ask! I am very curious about your experiences!Regards, Peter(I also posted this in the Uniface professionals group on LinkedIn)

Hello!  My name is Steve Wingfield, Principal Software Engineer at Rocket, and I'm going to give you a general overview on some of the fundamental concepts MVIS uses, such as REST and Swagger.  I'll also demo our Rocket MV Developer Edition, which is an AWS image you can leverage for free through the AWS marketplace.  In these sessions, I'll share examples of data and subroutines exposed as RESTful services and create a front-end UI using React.    Note: The video playlist below can be accessed using the menu at the upper right of the frame.

Hi,I've installed the extend 10.3.1 32/64 bit versions.  In the 32bit version lib directory (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Micro Focus\\extend 10.3.1\\AcuGT\\lib) there is a console application solution (crun32.sln) but there doesn't appear to be an equivalent in the 64 bit lib directory. I was wondering why this is and if a 64bit console application is possible?

PROBLEM Excel and Power BI, downloaded from the Windows Store, do not connect to AcuXDBC. They give an error, even when the PATH and GENESIS_HOME variables are set correctly: DLLLOAD: acuxdbc04, The specified module could not be found.   SOLUTION Windows Store apps (UWP: Universal Windows Platform) runs in an AppContainer security context. "Win32 desktop apps" on Windows Vista or later run as "Standard User" or as "Administrator". UWP apps have less access rights than "Standard User" and can never run as "Administrator". UWP apps can request additional capabilities to get a few more rights with permission from the user but have limited access to the system and user data. For example, they cannot read most of the filesystem, only the installed location, an isolated application data folder, and an isolated temporary file folder. See File access and permissions (Windows Runtime apps) This means that even if the bin directory is set on the PATH, so that the AcuXDBC DLLs can be found,

What would be the best way to read next and/or previous row in an SQL database using the “SELECT” statement in Managed COBOL? For example, suppose I have the following table and whereby the key is “Name”: Name       AgeJohn         20Jane         25Rob           30 Is there another statement besides the “Select” that would be more appropriate? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have some dropdown lists in my form, the valrep of which is dependant on the data. I am setting the $fieldvalrep in the postdeserialise trigger and the program is holding this, until it hits the reconnect to reset the modification status, when it wipes them all. Why is the $fieldvalrep reset? How can I program something in the model to ensure the valreps are set correctly for each occurrence on loading the data and/or creating a new occurrence? I obviously don't want to have to do a loop through all occurrences after loading to set the $fieldvalrep as this is a waste of time and if there's one thin UNiface isn't it's fast. This is the third problem I've encountered with reconnect resetting values (for non-db fields such as totals) or states (setting fields to modified when they shouldn't be) and at least some of these behaviours are different in 10 than in version 9. Anyone else found/solved similar issues? Iain

If you have a new setup with iCluster and want to test the integrity of your backup system before running a switch test, use the simulator to check the environment. The simulator does not affect the production system, work can carry on there uninterrupted, the clever stuff is done on the backup system, where the staging store exists. Starting the simulator marks the position on the journals and then stops the group apply jobs on the backup, so all transactions replicated from production are held in the staging library. Users then log on to the backup system to run tests and record any issues or problems that occur. Ending the simulator then rolls the journal positions back and the apply jobs are started.You see some latency until everything is caught up. We recommend the simulator is run for maybe 2 to 3 hours (i.e. not days) as it will take longer to roll back. Also, the simulator can be run as many times as needed, and once full confidence in the backup is reached, you can move on to

When configuring iCluster on a new cluster, we recommend that each Group has it's own Staging Store library as well as its own journal & receivers. This will improve overall performance and make maintenance and fire-fighting any issues easier.So, for example, before creating new Group STOCKAPP we would do the following (names are just suggestions): create staging store library STKSTAGE create journal receiver STK0000001 in library AAAJRNLIB (journal receiver threshold - 3500000) create journal STKJRN in library AAAJRNLIB (Minimize entry specific data *FLDBDY) ------------------------------d broadbridgeRocket Software------------------------------

Following on from my question around 7zip archive formats, I've downloaded and tried unzip on a sample file I've been provided with. The file ends with .zip, so I figured I'd give it a go.Unfortunately, I get the message: skipping: 20201211001505.dat  need PK compat. v4.6 (can do v2.1) Is telling me that the archive is in a format that's not supported? From what I can see unzip -v gives:UnZip special compilation options:COPYRIGHT_CLEAN (PKZIP 0.9x unreducing method not supported)SET_DIR_ATTRIBSYMLINKS (symbolic links supported, if RTL and file system permit)TIMESTAMPUNIXBACKUPUSE_EF_UT_TIMEUSE_UNSHRINK (PKZIP/Zip 1.x unshrinking method supported)USE_DEFLATE64 (PKZIP 4.x Deflate64(tm) supported)VMS_TEXT_CONVPASSWD_FROM_STDIN[decryption, version 2.11 of 05 Jan 2007]Or am I confusing myself with unrelated version numbers?Thanks, Andy------------------------------Andy Stylesz/Series System ProgrammerLloyds Banking Group------------------------------

As this issue is trending on our support Knowledgebase (in the Rocket Community), I thought I would share it here with some extras.If you would like more info on emails from CorVu Schedules please let me know.Sending email notifications from CorVu CorBusiness, especially from a Scheduled task is a powerful way to distribute business info to users, including those who may not have CorVu installed. The emails generated from a scheduler task can contain attachments of pdf, html, csv or other outputs generated from a CorVu query or report. You can also choose between plain text or HTML for the body message, which allows you to insert formatting and web-links to the files generated by your scheduler tasks. This way you can send users html links to the scheduler generated output instead of sending huge Excel files or PDFs to clog up their email systems and inboxes.The popular issue at the moment is how to use MS Outlook in Office 365 to send your CorVu emails via a secured smtp.

We have the Visual Cobol IDE running on our Windows desktops but our Cobol programs run, via Dev Hub, on a remote server (in our case, an AIX server).  The challenge we face is how to integrate our source code repository, Rational Team Concert, with our IDE.  Typically, we set up Eclipse to have a local workspace on our computer desktop and that workspace is what Rational Team Concert is using to keep our files in sync with source code control. But, with Cobol running on AIX, the project files need to be on the remote box which, of course, isn't where Rational Team Concert expects them.  Our current solution is that our developers, via the Visual Cobol IDE, manually "drag" (or copy) the files between the Rational Team Concert-controlled workspace and the remote project area on the remote server.  This isn't ideal! Is anyone using Visual Cobol with Dev Hub while using a source code repository?  If so, how have you integrated them to work t
