Are there any TCL/command line tools for updating Unidata ODBC configuration ala VSG?  

Well, don’t know how it happened but somehow the ODBC configuration for one of customer accounts has been damaged and they want to restore it to what it was yesterday.  What files need to be restored to get this repaired?

It used to be the VSG, then the MDM, and I can’t find the MDM anywhere these days. What do y’all use for mapping Unidata tables to ODBC?

On out development server, we have several installs of uniface for different uses (devel, testing, ‘live’ etc.) Some of these I can tell apart in the “Programs and Features” because they are different versions or patches. Others I cannot. Having just uninstalled the wrong version in an attempt to fix another problem, the question is. Is there a trick to naming the installations inthe Programs and features MMC so we can tell them apart. The info gives us version and install date, but not install path, and I can’t see any sensible way to differentiate them. Iain

Hi folks, I have a performance issue with the large-scale system. I know that this discussion depends on resources, so please assume sufficient resources are available. Let's think about a single read-only transaction performance by just 'run  <file name>'.  Assuming that elapsed time is 5 sec and CPU time is 1 sec. Then I tried processing this query by concurrent 2 users by phantom, but each user of elapsed and CPU time was very much worse than single. Roughly, it's 10 times worse. In reality, Is it impossible to get a benefit from parallel processing? ---- Sample basic program. cnt = 300000 open "STOCK" to fp else abort startTime = Time()startTimeCpu = System(9) for i=1 to cnt    read rec from fp,"101" else abortnext i endTime = Time()endTimeCpu = System(9) print "elapse      : ":(endTime - startTime)print "elapse(cpu) : ":(endTimeCpu - startTimeCpu)/1000 end ------------------------------------- ------------------------------Yukio KozukaSimount CorpBunkyo-ku JP----------

Currently in our version control system, we have exports of each component we generate in Uniface, which are then imported during check out and then exported during check in.  In our migration from 9.7 to 10.4, one of the things I would like to do is do a full export of everything from my 10.4 repository to put back into version control.Individual components are pretty easy, as we can name the component we want to export and pass that to $ude, since we know the name of the component from our version control system.  What I would like to be able to do is from within Uniface, list all of the components programmatically and then for each individual component, export each component to its own XML file for check in.  Is there a way to list all components or even all objects in the repository programmatically? 

Hello Team,Currently we have Enterprise developer already available in the system , I am trying to integrate VS Code using Rocket COBOL extension to do a BRD documentation using the Co-pilot features. We have two copybooks extension ,one with CPY and another COPYCOB. The intelisense is  able to identify the CPY copybooks but not the COPYCOB eventhough the extensions are mapped. Is there possibility to re-use the XML files of MFED for the integration of VS code.ThanksSanoop

Is it possible to have a complete D3 integration in Rocket MVBasic for Vscode ?Actually, there’s only code integration for jbase and universe…and documentation is slighly different...

Good evening, I'm looking for software that, when I upload a song from my computer, will translate the language of the singer in the song into another language that I choose from the list of languages, but in the original voice of the singer himself.........

what is a repository key in mobius ??

We are a rather large implementation of Universe 11.3.1 (originally created in the mid-80s as a PI install and migrated to PI Open to Universe over the years).   We have 3 application developers but do not have a traditional UV admin (we don’t modify the uvconfig parameters at all).  The system just seems to run itself.  I have read through Tech Specs & Release Notes but have not found alot of detail on how to or what to look out for.Does anyone have experience in going from 11 to 14?  Any advice or detailed check list?Thank you!

June 8, 2022 As a Sales Engineer, a question I often get from customers is, “Which API (application programming interface) should I use?” I usually will answer “It depends”. In this article I will discuss the APIs and the “depends”. Hope you’ll find it useful and informative. Of all the U2 APIs, I prefer MVIS because RESTful services have become a standard API interface that natively supports the nested data model. Many of our customers have replaced U2REST with MVIS, and are realizing the benefits of automation, integration, and ease of use. (a.k.a. “how to get your new features and applications to market faster”) In addition, many have found that it dovetails into their broader modernization strategy. This enables customers to develop web/mobile applications without needing to know about U2. Customers using ODBC with desktop applications like Excel, could now offer a RESTful services interface and not have to use VSG or HS.ADMIN to define ODBC access. Just like XML, JSON is a great

Hi!  I am using Cursor to code (more than just coding, Cursor excels in Agentic programming tasks, I find it better than VS Code).  Cursor is a fork of VS Code, but it does not use the official Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace. Instead, it uses a community-driven registry called Open VSX. Rocket MV Basic extension is not listed as a valid extension, so I can’t install it from the Extensions tab.  Gemini tells me I have two alternatives to install the extension in Cursor:Option 1: Cursor allows you to import the extensions from VS Code. This option is not working for me. Option 2: Install it directly from a VSIX file, that should be downloadable from the Rocket MV Basic Extension on the VS Code Marketplace. But there is no link to download a .vsix file to install it manually.  So I’m stuck with the installation.  The best solution would be to add the extension to the Open VSX catalog, so it can be installed from the Extensions menu and updated automatically.  If not possible, can any

Hello all, We are currently in the process of upgrading from Uniface 10.4.02.052 to 10.4.03.019 and have noticed a difference in behaviour with our HTML widget that we are not sure how to resolve. I believe this is probably due to a newer version of the CEF framework that is included in this release. I know that Uniface is not responsible for CEF functionality, however, I wonder if anyone has encountered the following issue or can suggest a solution.... We have a form component with a HTML widget on it. We communicate with a third-party via REST APIs and they send us back the URLs of a number of images, and we then update the HTML widget to render these images. The URLs to these images are stored on a CDN. Whenever the HTML widget renders these images the following error is recorded in the message frame: HTML Widget: Third-party cookie will be blocked. Learn more in the Issues tab. The HTML widget displays many images and so this error appears many times. Despite this, the images are s

Hi I am looking for advice on acquiring Cobol code (not publicly available code). I have a large budget to work. 

Hi All, hope all is well.Well, I never thought I would get back to COBOL, but during the watching of a video about AI and MS Access, my colleague briefly mentioned COBOL.   I thought cool, I will check COBOL out, since it has been a while since I developed with the language.  And I am glad I did!   Doing a Google Search on COBOL, I came across Rocket Software’s COBOL infographic.   Wow!  I was blown a way that COBOL was so widely used to this day.   Well, it has been decades since I programmed with COBOL.   My first job, was on a OS/390 Mainframe (nicknamed “Old Charlie”) during the Y2K effort.  Another job had me using MicroFocus COBOL for a Web Patient Application.Now today (decades later), I am getting back into COBOL and taking the first certification offered by Rocket Software..  I am almost done.   A few questions for some assistance.VS Code - How do you setup tasks to compile programs and related sub programs..  Yeah, I could do each one manually, but it would be more efficient

Hi there,my backup-drive crashed and the installation file nxp3251110031.msp is corrupt. Is there any way to get a replacement?Best regardsHeinz-Bernd Diers

Our company is a very heavy user of AcuBench with thousands of projects. We also use VS Code for really test only code that still is in use in our system.  We are upgrading to Acu11 soon so I want to start playing with VS plug-in.  Is it as simple as just adding the plug-in to VS Code and opening a .pjt for a project?  Are there any required things to be installed on the machines that will be using it...for example does AcuBench have to be there or AcuGT? Thanks for any help as I get started on this journey to move from AcuBench to VS Code plug-in.

Problem: If the RM/COBOL runtime, or, compiler abnormally terminate, then, the use counting mechanism can become corrupt.  This scenario will cause any future instances of the runtime/compiler to fail with a "unauthorized use message (loc 810). Resolution: The full text of the Loc 810 error is : System function error (Loc 810) - Semaphore OK but shared memory marked bad.The "rmucutil" utility will show that there is a shared memory issue. Either reboot or reset the locked "shared memory" to resolve the problem.Below is the syntax for the "rmucutil" utility, located in your RM/COBOL installation directory:rmucutil xx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx runtime|compiler detailsThe "rmucutil" utility will show that there is a shared memory issue. If the output shows there is a shared memory or semaphore issue, you can clear shared memory and semaphores manually if the ipcs (for Inter Process Communication Status) commands are available on your operati
