A short time ago, I shared an article with DZone about how to quickly build APIs for any terminal-based environments (such as IBMi, VT, HPE NonStop, and IBM z) in five easy steps. The article has been viewed many times, but I wanted to let our LegaSuite and Rocket API users know about these simple tips & tricks to streamline your workflow and reduce the amount of time spent creating APIs.Once you've read the article, come back to this post. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts, or perhaps a tip or trick that you've learned to boost your productivity building APIs.------------------------------Jeroen van DunRocket Software------------------------------

MultiValue Integration Server is approaching the first anniversary of its launch, and the MVIS team continues to host webinars, write blog posts, and other technical content for customers and users. One such webinar following in the launch's wake is a deep dive into the newly released platform, hosted by Julianna Cammarano, Zain Master and Steve Wingfield. In this webinar, "Introducing Rocket MultiValue Integration Server" (55m), viewers are guided on a tour of the platform's capabilities, value, integration points and much more. After watching the introduction, you should be well informed to begin your MVIS journey and deploy its functionality. Whether you are new to MVIS, or an experienced veteran, we're interested in your experience. Share your thoughts, tips, and what you learned from the webinar.------------------------------Charles Dane Rocket Software------------------------------

If you are having communications issues, you can see some of the internal communication messages that are generated by iCluster behind the scenes to assist in problem resolution. Just create a new message queue on the node that appears to be having the problem called DMKMSGQ in the iCluster product library (almost always ICLUSTER). CRTMSGQ MSGQ(ICLUSTER/DMKMSGQ) MSGQFULL (*WRAP) Then after a period of time, use DSPMSGQ DMKMSGQ to display the messages and send them to support. You can keep the message queue active if you like or delete it once the problem is solved. Here is the entire list of steps to obtain and review iCluster communication issues:   Screen print of option 7 from iCluster main menu Document any TCP changes or firewall changes recently If IP changes occurred, check NETSTAT *CNN ensure all ports for DMCLUSTER user are using specified IP address. Check source and target. Check NETSTAT *CNN, sort by user and verify all DMCLUSTER ports for retransmissions (do on source and

I remember Connectivity Hub (RACH) was part of Rocket Mobile solution where the apps could be uploaded and shared whatever with general users or with company's internal users. Also it had very powerful features like device identification, so in case a device with a sensitive app was lost or stolen, we could disable the app access on that specific device. Now we have MVIS and more mobile apps can be developed to empower company's users but these apps don't need to be published either in Google Play or Apple Store because they are important only for internal use or specific customers.So this is the idea, turn Connectivity Hub into a company's private Apps Store where apps could be uploaded, managed and shared with company's users or specific customers. For example, a company could have a variate of apps for different areas and users.This is just an idea and it would be good to know other opinions.------------------------------Jaime LunaALCOMTEC EIRL------------------------------

It has been very frustrating when the changed Universe 12.1.1 to no allow updating indexes while people are accessing the file. This worked before from 9.6 to 11.3.1 but not 12.1.1. We have clients that run 24/7 and we have to stop our Web-based applications running under Apache Tomcat, make sure no one is using our Eclipse IDE tools and kill any phantom jobs before you use CREATE.INDEX. Otherwise, you get this:>CREATE.INDEX ACCT.CHECKS BANK.NO NO.NULLUnable to open "ACCT.CHECKS", file open by other users, exclusive access failed.Here is what Rocket said in my case:Advice from our ATS engineer:Reverting functionality to how it was prior to UniVerse 12.1.1 can cause issues where a newly created and built index can be out of sync if existing users have the file open. As long as our customers acknowledge the risk, we could create a new story which would allow customers to have their installation behave as it was prior to UniVerse 12.1.1 if they choose. This would be something that is c

Creating new user experiences across your green screen application is just one of the things you can do in LegaSuite Web. With the use of APIs you can combine your green screen user experiences with web services.  For example how about calling a web service to validate a post code or a bank sort code?  In this video I will show you how to consume the web service and then use that web service on a web page of your choice.------------------------------Andrew SimpsonRocket Software------------------------------

Probably a Easy question.How do I stop this side screen coming up when I enter some code.       

Could we get an RSS feed for the uniface anywhere technical info (such as critical update notice etc?) I can tie this into our MS Teams then and the relevant support department can get on updating/checking all our customers before it becomes an issue spanning several servers. Iain

There are a variety of factors that can crop up and cripple IT environments. However, many issues, such as a lack of testing, deployment, or on-prem primary source replication or protection, can be avoided with a shift in you disaster recovery and high availability strategy. Lilac Schoenbeck (Vice President, Product Management Strategy) and I had the opportunity to chat with the team at IT Jungle and discuss 4 things that IBM i shops get wrong about HA, DR, and Data. During the interview, we shared our thoughts, strategies and solutions to prevent outages, or recover from them when they do occur.   To learn more, read the interview, then share your thoughts below. We would love to hear how your manage your HA/DR with iCluster. ------------------------------Stephen AldousRocket Software------------------------------

My Microsoft Office froze up this morning, and I tried a cure that involved disabling all services except Microsoft and then restarting the computer.  It fixed my Office problem, but I fear it clobbered my Micro Focus COBOL.  (I've got Windows 10 pro).When I tried to start COBOL, I got "The Micro Focus CES daemon is not running."  But when I looked at my Programs and Features, I found four Micro Focus entries, but nothing about a CES daemon.See screenshots in the attached "Article.docx". Your help will be greatly appreciated  #CESdaemon

Rocket iCluster includes a configuration 'fast start' command to perform some of the configuration steps based on a typical installation.  This command, DMAUTOCFG, can assist in defining a node pair, some replication groups, selections of objects for replication and set some iCluster product system values.  The command was designed for administrators that will be setting up a two node cluster and the resulting low-complexity configuration can be a reasonable starting point.  Once the config is up and running, more customization can be easily performed.  Note: This procedure is only one of the ways to add selections to an existing replication group.  (See DMWRKGRP for another starting place for Group Administration.) The iCluster command DMAUTOCFG is great for initially configuring your iCluster environment, and can be used even after you are up and running. You may have added new libraries or applications to your IBM i and may be wondering what else is out there on your system that cou
