We would like to put a UniVerse account (all files, VOC, BP, CUSTOMER...) under source control, we use GIT currently for other software projects. Has anyone been able to successfully do this? Our strategy in our development account was to convert all files into folders (type 19). But the VOC file and Dictionary files (I-types) have problems with being a folder.  Is there a way to elegantly put all files in a UniVerse account under GIT source control management? Or are we just beating our heads against a wall? The closest we've come to success is when we created "mirrored" files for the VOC and Dictionaries that were folders and used light-weight triggers to update them when the production (hashed) files were updated. That worked fine and GIT saw changes in those mirror files. But we then ran into an issue with the GIT and the .gitinclude file configuration. We only want to the show changes in our mirrored files. GIT was adamant about showing differences in all files even the hashes fil

Hi all, has anyone ever used the drill-down process in SBXA  Selection Process? (F6 Addit in /pd.s) I wonder how to return te selection from the called process to the main-screen where the initial-selction process was called and skip the initial-select.ExcampleF3 - Function on Field calls S.SELECT.ITEMS which selects some items and displays information. The goal is now to give the user the ability to change the displayed fields after the selection has taken place.I got to manage the call of another selection process in the F4 - drill-down slot (e.g. S.SELECT.ITEMS2) which works on the same select list, but after returning from S.SELECT.ITEMS.2 the user still is on S.SELECT.ITEMS instead of returning to the screen with the selected Item from S.SELECT.ITEMS2. I already tried to Set option S and option D  to Options in the called Selection-Process but no luck... Unfortunately i didn't found any documentation how to use the drill-down slot  best regards Thomas --------------------------

Hi all,  last couple days I am facing an issue with starting my IDF or Uniface app. When I start the IDF then it takes way too long to start, I mean 5-10min or even more. That is when I am not connected on VPN. When I am connected to VPN then it is stacked almost forever. It will not start. I will just get the initial window with UD6 development environment (Not responding). And that's it. I have to cancel the job with task manager. I need the VPN because of the license server.  So it looks that the VPN is making it worse but even without VPN it is a real issue. Sometimes it starts after long period (5-10min) but sometimes it does not start.  Any idea what is wrong or what should I check? Or any clue why the start of the IDF is so slow? Are there any metadata to be deleted maybe that would help? BR Jozef ------------------------------Jozef ProkopovicUniface Community Edition Shared AccountUS------------------------------

Has anyone had success using Git as a source control platform for UV accounts?  We're looking to do true source control (ex. developer branches merging changes into the main branch) and not just copy/pasting say BP's with changes using a simple folder structure.

I have a very serious problem with Visual Cobol and Visual Studio 22, I made a project and a solution, I have a code to connect with MySql and insert record, everything worked until I had to renew the visual studio license, from that moment on it does not You can insert records, but if I can consult the records from the database, no error occurs, it displays the record inserted correctly in the message. From that moment on, I started reinstalling MySql, Visual Studio, Visual Cobol, several times, the last installation of Visual Cobol was done wrong, now it won't let me uninstall it completely. I have started with a great desire to learn Cobol and I have this problem that I don't know how to solve. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you#VisualCOBOL

I'm attempting to adjust the pitch to 12 characters per inch so the invoice number (green box) will fit within the designated column: However, the output is not affected, and the HP printer just passes the code through as if it is text to be printed (yellow box). I'm using the following code with the intention of every subsequent print statement resulting in text that is 12 chars/in. X.ESC = CHAR(27)X.PCL.COMMAND = X.ESC:"(s12H"PRINT X.PCL.COMMAND Does anything need to be enabled on the printer (hp4350) for PCL commands to take effect? The printer in question will generate a PCL font list so I think that confirms the required software is present. Also, does every print statement have to include the escape sequence or can it just be invoked once and remain in effect until the page/job is finished? It's been 10+ years since I messed with this (at another site), but I don't recall having any trouble with it.------------------------------Shawn Waldieenterprise application developerRocket

We are seeing UniVerse (v11.3.1) write failures (on Windows 2019 64-bit server) when we repeatedly update a record. Here's the code we use to create this scenario: OPEN '', 'CF' TO FILE.CF ELSE STOP ID = 'TEST' FOR I = 1 TO 1000 READ REC FROM FILE.CF, ID ELSE REC = '' REC<-1> = I:' Iteration'  WRITE REC ON FILE.CF, ID NEXT I END The write failures will occur at random passes through the for/next loop. This particular file is type 19, but we also see failures on hashed files as well. Is there a UniVerse or Windows tunable setting that would help us out? Any other thoughts? ------------------------------Gil SteidleDEVDDI System Incbrick NJ US------------------------------

Have you ever stopped to look at the jobs running in the iCluster subsystems and ever wondered what they are doing? Here's a breakdown of the jobs on the source and the target nodes, and a brief description of what they do. One of the most important jobs to monitor when starting iCluster is the DMCHATL job, it runs on both nodes, it's the TCP/IP listener job that ensures the nodes are communicating with each other. If we have any kinds of issues with replication, it's always good to look into the group jobs in the subsystems on both the source and target nodes. Check the data journal scrape job (HADDJS) on source and the data journal scrape receiver job (HADDJSR) on the target. Thanks.On Source node - iCluster jobs JOB FUNCTION  DESCRIPTION No. OF JOBS DMCHATL DMCHATL TCP/IP listening job 1 DMM00000MO DMCHAMO Monitor Information out 1 DMSXXXXXCI DMCHACI Control Information in many DMSXXXXXCO DMCHACO Control Information out many DMSXXXXXDI DMCHADI Data in many DMSXXXXXDO

Hi Apologies if this is not the right place for this. I am unable to access the code translation site cs2cobol.microfocuscloud.com  It is saying the cert expired on 1/2/2024.  I tried on Firefox and Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.  There is an option to accept the risk and continue to the site but I would rather not risk it.  Firefox says the issue is most likely with the website. Is there anything that can be done to resolve this?  An alternative site perhaps? Thank you Brendan

We currently use a third-party spell-checking software with one of our COBOL applications. The COBOL program makes a call to this third-party software at run time. This third-party spell-checking software, however, is no longer supported. I wanted to know if anyone knows of a spell-checking software that can be utilized with our COBOL application. We currently use Visual COBOL version 9 with Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022. Our operating systems are Windows 10 Desktop and Windows 2022 Server. Thanks in advance.

We are surveying to see what code page can be used within Rocket Uniface 10.4 EE and the Oracle database (version 19c). In doing so, we would like to be able to use the euro sign and diacrites such as ä, ë, è, é, ç, etc.   In the current situation, Rocket Uniface 10.3 EE (in combination with an Oracle database) is installed with 'Western European (CP1252-ISO 8895-1)'. If we understood correctly, this code page may not translate all diacritics correctly.   Basically, we want to go to Unicode (UTF-8) for both Rocket Uniface and the Oracle database server.   Does anyone have experience with this or know the correct setup of the ASN files?------------------------------Richard de VriesDeveloperWaard Verzekeringen BVWognum NL------------------------------

It is not always obvious to customers exactly where the initial attributes assigned to ERO Release Area datasets are defined. This information may be accessed in the following manner: Select ISPF Option A (Admin) – R (ERO) – A (Application). List the release. Use line command RA to display applications joined to this release. Enter line command AL to list the library types. Enter line command QL to display the default allocation settings or UL to update them. Note: The library type allocation characteristics will only apply BEFORE the area dataset is created. Although updates to the definition panel may be allowed after this point, the dataset will already have been allocated and users will often see the following type of message issued in this situation: Not All Changes Allowed/CMR5502A - Library Type(s) JCL area libraries already allocated. Further information on allocating release area library types may be found in the section entitled ‘Define Application Library Types’ in the Cha

Helllo We have IT security audit team asking a question on a user profile named ICA which belongs to iCluster product release 9.1.1 that is running in IBM i 7.4. This user profile has all high authorities in the system but it owns no objects and is never used at all. The question is what is this user ICA for (in other words when is it used) in iCluster environment?   The IT security team is aiming at deleting any user profile that is extraneous.  Is ICS an extraneous one? I know and can explain iCluster's users DMCLUSTER and ICLUSTER but have no idea on this ICA user. I hope any kind soul here would help provide the answer for me to convey to the IT security audit team. Tnanks.

Hi We have created a REST API with a uniface component. This API calls some services to extract data from the database. When the service is called from the API (so running with userver), the 'select' is made on [table.model] table in the MSS database, so MSS returns that the object name is invalid Example : select [pcli_cd] from [pclient.parametres] where 1=0 When the service is called from a standard client/server form, the 'select' is made on [table] table in the MSS database Example : select [pcli_cd] from [pclient] where 1=0 My question is : how to avoid the model name to be added to the table name ? Is there an option somewhere  Thanks for your help (Environment : Uniface 9.7.04)------------------------------Nicolas ColmartSelf RegisteredNice FR------------------------------
