MTS returns 13:37:42, but with sending data to SQL, multiple timestamps have the same value. Is there a way to get miliseconds?  We are transmitting multiple records and many would have the same "42" second value. Our best solution is to get the MTS value and add the decimal portion of U2 internal time to it.   For example, if raw time is 49062.2004, MTS retruns 13:37:42. before sending to SQL, we would change it to 13:37:42.2004 SQL date field would get "2025-07-25 13:37:42.2004" which it may not like. Any suggestions?

Hi,  I'm looking to find out if it's possible to install a python module in UV. We are currently running UV 11.3.4 with Python 3.9 embedded. We've had a request from our development if pytest can be added to what we currently have installed? Has anyone had any experience installing this module, and were there any adverse consequences that effected Python as a whole? Thanks, John Koonce

I have a python script that uses the "requests" package. When I run the Universe program that calls the function I get the "requests" package not found. I then created another python script that calls the python script that contains the "requests" package and it works when I call that script from Universe.  I must have something wrong in my path setting when coming from Universe and it cannot find the "requests" package. If I run the python script in Linux the program executes perfectly. If I invoke python from universe and import requests it works fine and finds the requests package. Both scripts are in the default location /XDEMO/PP. u2.pth /usr/ibm/bin/usr/ibm/XDEMO/PP Universe program:  SUBROUTINE SUB.BASEVEHICLE(VEHID,VEHOUT)       CMD = "REINIT.PYTHON OFF"       EXECUTE CMD       ModuleName = "callbaseveh"      FuncName = "getbasevehinf"       RESULT = PyCallFunction(ModuleName , FuncName, VEHID

Hi folks, I'm new to Windows servers have mostly used AIX, HP-UX, and Linux.  The server to which I'm trying to connect is controlled by the IT department of Nashville Metropolitan Government.  I have gotten into server management and can see that the SSH server is runnung but when I try to make the connection with AccuTerm, I get an AccuTerm error that "No supported SSH2 signature scheme exists".  When I click on the details it tells me that AccuTerm supports ssh-dss and ssh-rsa.  I know lots of you are using AccuTerm on Windows servers, can anybody suggest what I am lacking.  I suspect there is something on the server that I need to enable or set up.  As I said, I have limited knowledge on Windows servers; or is there something I need to enable on the AccuTerm?

I have recently observed that the Proxy Shell service on a Windows Server stops unexpectedly, with no logs indicating the cause. However, performing a reboot temporarily resolves the issue, although it reoccurs after a few days. When creating a job in Gateway Administrator targeting file servers where the directory is set to the root ("/"), the job does not seem to detect or transfer any files. Could someone please assist with this issue? ------------------------------Moroka Frank TapalaMrRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Hi all, from few days at a customer site we are facing an issue with Uniface license server installed on a linux server. When Uniface Windows clients try to obtaing a license they are often getting back "License NOT available".We checked on the server log and we found many messages like this: [07/23/25-11:58:03] warning: a send data of size 25 bytes failed iP=X.Y.Z.C, you may want to increase the client's timeout setting Where IP=X.Y.Z.C is IP of the calling client. My question is: where should I change client's timeout setting for dialogs with license server as suggested from the log line? ASN setting USYS$TCP_PARAMS AFAIK is dedicated to Uniface<=>Userver. I am currently checking $NET_TIMEOUT ASN param... Thanks in advance for any answer/suggestion. Regards,Gianni ------------------------------Gianni Sandigliano IT------------------------------

I have recently changed a tab widget from ATTACH=BOTTOM,RIGHT to ATTACH=VSIZE,RIGHT, so as to remove the need for a splitbar.  However, if we use the elipses (...) to load the properties form, on exit, it removes the VSIZE, and will therefore quietly break our component. It has been some extended time now that the VSIZE etc has worked in the properties for a field, can UF please fix the properties form to at the very least not silently change the behaviour of the form.  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

Hi everyone, I'm very new to Host Access and D3. We're currently working in a D3 Pick environment using the TCL (Terminal Command Language) prompt, and I need to learn everything from scratch. I do have access to Rocket Software's D3 reference manuals, but they're quite large and a bit overwhelming to read cover to cover. Could anyone please suggest the best places to find learning materials - especially video tutorials that cover basic concepts, TCL commands, creating simple programs, and understanding how everything works with real examples? I really prefer videos or more practical, hands-on resources rather than just manuals. Thanks so much in advance for your help!------------------------------Rima PrajapatiSenior IT SupportRocket Software Forum Member------------------------------
