I have been looking for ways to encrypt data sent from a publisher to a subscriber. That data is sent to unirpcd on the subscriber and I have confirmed that, at present, it is sent as plain text. We have a lead interested in replication but want to ensure that the data transferred between the publisher and subscriber is encrypted (they're Unidata on AIX). I noted the existence of the "-s" option for unirpcd, but when I force unirpcd to start on pub and sub with this option, replication does not operate. I've been told that there is no "official" way to encrypt the replication data travelling between pub and sub(s), but that using a ssh tunnel may be an option. I'm pretty decent at setting up tunnels - I do it all the time, but I have yet to work out how to get replication to go through a tunnel. Any suggestions? Or does anyone have any other suggestions about getting the data from the publisher to the subscriber to be encrypted (preferably without having to do file encryption for ever

We are currently on ChangeManZMF V827 for most of our platforms, but have begun conversion to V831. We have several applications that are decommissioning out of ChangeMan. We have done a couple searches through the Admin and User Guides, but did not find a section for decommissioning/retiring applications.

Hi folks! I made a simple client program in C to execute a transaction to MFES using CICS_ExternalCall function (casbnccl64) library in linux. In the same instance of MFES (localy), I can run this sample program and execute the transaction with no problems, but when I execute same program from a remote instance get the following messages from the driver: Wed 21 May 2025 04:43:33 PM CEST MccDoOpen: timeout connecting to server at MFNODE:22.123.1.2,MFPORT:23001Wed 21 May 2025 04:43:33 PM CEST MccOpen: Error opening conversation: (15) timeout expiredWed 21 May 2025 04:43:33 PM CEST MccDoClose: CCI error 3: An invalid CCI handle was suppliedWed 21 May 2025 04:43:33 PM CEST MccClose: Error closing conversation: (8) communications component error I read in any place that I need to establish the ES_ECI_SOCKET environment variable  with IP and PORT of the MFES listener server but it doesn't work either.

Hello Rocket Software community, I'm currently working with Rocket UniVerse and have encountered performance issues when handling large datasets, particularly during peak usage times. It seems that the hardware configuration might be contributing to the problem. To resolve this, I am exploring ways to optimize both hardware and software settings, including utilizing Smart PC setups for smoother operation. Here are a few specific areas I'd appreciate feedback on: Smart PC configurations: Does anyone have experience using Smart PC setups for Rocket Software applications? Any configurations that helped with performance improvements, especially in database processing? Memory and CPU optimizations: Have you successfully optimized memory allocation or CPU usage when running Rocket UniVerse? Any insights on settings that can reduce lag or boost processing speed? High-load resource management: What steps have you taken to manage resources effectively when the system is under heavy load?

My name is Michael Belme, and I'm a Technical Support Engineer III with Rocket working out of Denver, Colorado. In this 8-part video series, I'll be covering the basics of why SSL is imperative for your business operations and how to easily protect data in transit flowing into and out of your U2 DataServers. I will cover the latest OpenSSL release used in U2 products and the changes it brings along... We'll take a look at Rocket's newly released U2 Certificate Management Tool, as well as the U2 Root Certificate Store and token-based authentication... both of which are found in the latest U2 database releases. Finally, the newly released secure-only UniRPCD port will also be explained along with steps to set up an SSL secured U2 REST server.  If you ever wanted to better understand the available security options found in UniVerse and UniData, then this video playlist is for you!   Note: The video playlist below can be accessed using the menu at the upper right of the fram

Here are some frequently asked questions we receive often about AI Predictive Pulse – our AI Insights engine in Zena, Zeke, and Enterprise Orchestrator products.  Can you integrate with Tidal, Control-M or IBM TWS? Yes, we know our customers have different schedulers and we want to make sure you have visibility across your entire ecosystem. AI Predictive Pulse can provide a holistic view across a broad range of workload automation tools including  Zeke/Zena/Control-M, Autosys, IBM TWS, ROBOT (IBM i) and many more. Think if it as a heterogeneous enterprise view of all your jobs. How do we manage access to AI? This is a cloud-based managed service, so it’s not the same login that you use for Zeke/Zena but it’s a private and secure. You manage access. Where is the data for AI Predictive Pulse stored? This is a SaaS service but there is also a local on-prem database that  stores all the info in the DB. It is a single instance per customer so there’s no data sharing. The only

Hello, In the past we stored specific variables in the ISPF pool that we could use during the ISPF session of the user It would be great to be able to do the same via the VPOOL, this would require a HLLX exit on the primary panel This would give us the ability to store specific userVariables in the VPOOL and retrieve them from any HLLX we would see fit Or a way to store VPOOL variables from outside the HLLX (but that I think is less likely to be provided) Thank you Johan------------------------------Johan JacobEuroclearBrussels BE------------------------------

we have a file that has a MV list of part numbers in an attribute In D3, we used to be able to    select wo "235789" PL.IDS this would give is the keys to a new file.

Hi We have some clients that are using universe version 11.3.1. This release comes with Python 3.4 and we're having some trouble adapting our Python code so it can work properly in several platoforms. Is there a way to safely upgrade the Python version other than updating the whole Universe installation?------------------------------Héctor CortigueraQuiter Servicios Informaticos SL------------------------------

There is a difference in the size of the .gnt file generated when compiling the same component for two different environments (Test and Production). The same compiler is used, with varying input copy assignment paths and compiled object delivery paths. We have compared the compiler lines and found that they are identical and contain the same instructions. I appreciate your support and guidance in identifying the difference and successfully delivering compiled objects with the same file sizes for both environments. Thank you very much.------------------------------alejandro rodriguez manceraconsulting IIOptima LATAM------------------------------

Hi As I posted in another thread, I'm trying to port some code from uopy to u2py but I can't debug the code properly. I'm using Visual Studio code, connected remotely to a server via ssh. I have a really simple launch.json: { "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "Debug manual launch", "type": "debugpy", "request": "launch", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/test_file.py", "python": "/u2/uv/python/bin/python3", "console": "integratedTerminal", "justMyCode": false, "args": [], "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}", "env": {"PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}:${env:PYTHONPATH}"} } ] } The test file is something very simple: def test_u2py(): import u2py c = u2py.Command('WHO', capture=True) l = c.run() print(l) return l And I can call it from BASIC: NOMBRE.SCRIPT='test_file' NOMBRE.FUNCION='test_u2py' RESPUESTA=P

Running UD 8.3 on AIX with plenty of disk space. I have a number of large files (10M-50M) records that I want to re-size to improve overall performance, but more importantly, prevent any file corruption due to any file re-sizing activities. I am trying to find out what is the optimal number of records that each group should contain: 1- Is there a recommend number of records per group (keep it under 20 or a certain number)? This will allow me to properly size block and modulo.  2- Should I keep increasing size of the block until I have zero level 1 overflow, which means ignore number of records per group? Albeit I managed modulo size in conjunction with block size. Any insights or recommendations is greatly appreciated. Thank you
