Challenge – Before Zena Before implementing Rocket® Zena, Brasilcap’s IT ecosystem was becoming increasingly complex. The IT team was struggling to keep up with the company’s workloads, especially since so much was executed manually. Brasilcap’s IT operators had to perform screen-to-screen access and execute business processes manually, none of which could run concurrently. Brasilcap wanted to automate critical workflows, improve control, bolster security, reduce errors and increase visibility into production processes. Solution – After Zena Through Rocket Zena, Brasilcap operators gained complete visibility into production level processes, empowering them to identify opportunities to further reduce operational risk.

Hello, Greetings of the day. I am now trying to setup Visual Cobol Personal Edition for Eclipse on Ubuntu (by using Windows Subsystem for Linux). I have been able to configure as much as possible, however, while trying to setup some things, I am seeing it is NOT working. Please see below: I set the COBCPY command to point to different folders/sub-folders (for copy codes - folders are outside of the source folder), exported COBCPY and verified the environment - it's showing accurately - however, while accessing the copy codes - the program is unable to pick those copy books (different folders that are NOT in the program source folder). PLEASE IGNORE THIS 2nd point - got it resolved - While creating indexed data files, looks like the default IDXFORMAT is being used, however, there is NO separate ".IDX" file for the index. I tried setting the "extfh.cfg" - unfortunately, though I export and have the environment in place - this is NOT being read OR there is NO change in the way the progr

Hello! I am hoping to reach someone in the tech/contract support group who handles the Reflections access application that was formerly of MicroFocus/OpenText. I am responsible for tech support for all of the Dept of Veterans Affairs clients who access our mainframe system and I no longer have a tech support contact for this product (or for whatever it is you call it now). Can you help me out? Thanks!------------------------------Jimmy CrillyVA AustinAustin TX US------------------------------

Howdy, again, folks! We experienced an outage yesterday associated with tl_server.exe. We must be running some knock off version.  The system says we are running 11.3.1.6032, but Rocket only shows the last release as .6023  which was released in Feb. 2019.   Since that date, there has been a 11.3.2, 11.3.3, 11.3.4, 11.3.5, 11.4.1, 12.1.1, 12.2.1, and now 14.1.1 We would like to update but are looking at the following constraints: Constraints: Version 11 ended support on 9/1/2024 and fully expires 9/1/26 and will no longer be supported at all... Version 12 did not work... we are searching for documentation that would provide details Version 13 was not released. Version 14 is released and we are looking into upgrade process. Are there any contributors who might share their upgrade experience?  Anyone on version 14 and how it's performing? THX in advance for your always helpful responses! ~Doc ------------------------------Doc RuckelPart time programmerRocket Forum Shared Account--

Is there a limitation on the number of UV  phantom processes that can run simultaneously on a Windows platform?  I seem to recall there is but I can't find any documentation for it.

Hi all I'm creating a lot of tools using Python and version control is getting quite out of... control. So I'm starting to create a folder infrastructure inside PYPROGS to manage the different tools and keep their basecodes separated. My problem/question is:How can I manage the subfolders in PYPROGS? For example, I have some files organised like this: -U2DBLiveDMS |-u2dblive.py |-u2dblive_common.py -aws_boto3_context_manager.py -aws_file_delete.py -excel_utils.py I can check my files using uopy: with uopy.connect(**config): cmd = uopy.Command("SELECT PYPROGS") cmd.run() select_list = uopy.List() self.__lista_ficheros = select_list.read_list() rgx_cksum = re.compile(r'[Cc]ksum\\s+=\\s+([0-9]+)\\s+') for f in self.__lista_ficheros: if f.endswith('.py'): chk = uopy.Command(f'CHECK.SUM PYPROGS {f}') chk.

There was a wIntegrate update planned for early 2024, but it appears that didn't happen.  I see now a "committed" update, v 6.3.5, for August 2025. Where can I find information on what's included in the update? Oops, sorry, I meant there is a committed update version 6.4.5, that is scheduled for August 2025.  

Hi guys, I have an issue on a customer site that is a Windows 2019 server running Unidata 8.2.1, the workstation is running Windows 11. This is an SB+ site so the users use SBClient (5.5.4). One PC that has been running fine for some time suddenly has a problem were the SBClient is launched, they click Start a Session, it connects to the server, connects to SB+, they enter their SB+ credentials and SBClient  then seems to go into "minimized mode" and will not open. I have tried removing any scripts, deleting and re-creating the profile, re-installing SBClient and even tried installing version 6.5.6 but this problem persists. the user assures me that nothing has changed on that PC. Other users are working fine. This user (with his credentials) works fine on a different PC. Has anyone seen this behaviour before or has any idea what the issue may be?

I'm interested if anyone uses NFS to store account data remotely, with something like Netapp Files:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/azure-netapp-files/network-attached-storage-protocols.In my own research of documentation I can see the following:[The ALLOWNFS] parameter should only be turned on in the following cases:- When UniVerse is not running or not installed on the remote system. File integrity is compromised when locks are not maintained on the remote system.- When the system administrator does not allow other UniVerse installations to gain access to the same remote UniVerse files at the same time.So this would seem to indicate we are OK. I think I need to clarify: does local Universe locking still apply when ALLOWNFS is in use (and does this depend on the locking provided by NFS - because capabilities/implementations differ from version to version).

My Rocket TE Secure FTP client is almost unusable.  I think it has something to do with the VMS version numbers. There is a {hh:mm} or {yyyy} in front of each and every remote file.  So, if I download that file to my PC, the filename on my pc will have that {hh:mm} or {yyyy} timestamp in the filename. "X.TXT becomes "05:17 X.TXT". Double-clicking on sub-folders generates an error because subfolder "/DISK3/05:17 TEMP" does not exist. Date column is off by 30 to 50 years ... in the future! ------------------------------Jeff AllenSelf RegisteredWayne NJ US------------------------------

I am teaching a Cobol class and today we downloaded/installed Visual Studio 2022 Community, 17.14.2.  We also installed MicroFocus 2022_100.  No errors appeared but when I create a project, I don't have the int/gnt template I need to create our Cobol program.  Students with an older version of VS 17.12.4 are not having this issue. Any help to resolve this would be great.   Thanks! Susan------------------------------Susan WilsonProfessorIndian Hills Community College Foundation, Inc.IA US------------------------------
