We are running jBase 5.2 on linux. Back when we were running 4.2  we used to use sudo to run jBase commands. For example we might have this line in a program: EXECUTE "sudo j4 SP-CLEAR BLUE-FQ"  This would clear out all the print jobs from the BLUE-FQ form queue even if a print job was protected. The j4 file just set up some jBase environment variables so sudo would work. My question is - will this still work? If so, what environment variables are needed in the j4 file and where should the j4 file be placed? Thanks for any help.------------------------------Warren MoriarityIT ManagerRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Morning allIs there a mechanism which allows me to list the full account name, file name, and item within locks? The issue I am having with LIST-LOCKS is the masking to 19 characters for the account and file names. In most of my cases, 19 characters is not long enough to display the full detail. I need to be able to programmactically read the line in order to programmatically run "UNLOCK-ITEM ACCOUNTNAME,FILENAME, ITEM".Additionally, we run Windows and Linux D3, with .NET front-ends, so I need to be able to use one .NET codebase to unlock items on Windows and D3 Linux. It appears that each environment's display is different.In Windows, the filename is truncated due to the length of the account name, and in Linux, it does not display the account name.Windows:FSI Filename        PIB#  Lvl  Type  Item-id             TokenFMCG.DNFDATA,mpcont   12    0  VME   008845           &

Hard drive backups that I try to FTP to a cloud server never finish. Here's the tape line from the pick0 file: tape /compass/picksave 500 f lx  # tape 3. I know the complete file has been uploaded because if I close the FTP program (and I've used four different ones) the file is usable from the cloud for a FULL RESTORE. Below is the part of the FILE-SAVE that writes out the file to the Linux hard drive. There's a T-DET at the end of it. Any idea why the ftp protocols don't know that the upload / download is complete? Thanks and a tip of the hat.

Hi Guys, Other than the rp_driverux.c example, is there any documentation regarding writing OSFI drivers? I have a need to write one to update a postgresql database.  I have it working, except for two issues: I cannot figure out the protocol for RP_GETGRP when an item exceeds the 4000 byte buffer.  At present I'm using the ux.c method of returning RP_CMDSUP to make the server backtrack to using RP_SEQIDS, but I can see certain efficiencies are lost when the system now has to make a RP_RETIX call for each item in the list when it would otherwise have the record data available directly from the request for the next group.  I have RP_GETGRP working when I can fit each group of id's and records in the buffer, but it fails with forward link zero errors when the group is larger and won't fit. The second issue is more pressing and might be a deal breaker for me.  Is it possible to call a basic callx trigger when writing to a file served by an OSFI host? Thanks Tom ------------------------

We are experiencing a large number of odd jbase_agent processes being spawned that are interfering with system operation (users experiencing freezing, hangs, unresponsiveness).  The processes use command options I don't recognize. Our normal jbase_agent is running with these processes as per ps -ef | grep jagent: jagent     3394      1  0  2022 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /home/jagent/jagent_20002.shjagent     3556   3394  0  2022 ?        00:25:48 jbase_agent --config=/home/jagent/jagent_20002_config Meanwhile, the spurious processes look like this: jagent    79624      1  0 12:47 ?        00:00:01 jbase_agent -w --config=/home/jagent/jagent_20002_config +A 5 +H 8 I was unable to find documentation for a lowercase -w option for jbase_agent; I also have no idea what the "+A 5 +H 8" at the end of these means. Can anyone help? Apologies if the forum is not the right place for this question: I tried creating a proper support issue initially, but when looking for a jBASE support portal I

I am planning upgrading our D3Linux system and the hardware it runs on.  I am considering setting it up to run on a RHEL virtual machine with the hope that future major version upgrades might be easier on the same hardware. Are there any major cons of running in a VM?    Any configuration and setup tips are welcome.------------------------------Steve CaspersMurphy Automotive IncRosemount MN US------------------------------

Hi All, I'm sure I've posted on this matter before but I just had a bit of a wobble understanding why my code wouldn't compile, until I notice the variable I had used started with the word NEXT (as in Next_Available) and the D3 compile went out and took another shot of tequila and said 'nada - not today hombre'So, just put it out there NEXT (suffix not allowed) and I'm sure there may be others - like NOT and FOR and ...Does anyone care to comment?------------------------------Stefano GallottaManaging MemberSimply Red Open SystemsMilnerton ZA------------------------------

We just posted a patch for MVS Toolkit version 2.3.2 in the Downloads section of the Rocket Customer Portal (RCP). It is a .zip file that contains three .jar files and a readme. If you have any questions, please reply or reach out by other means. Readme content: The default directories for the .JARs you are about to deploy are as follows: Linux:        /usr/local/RocketSoftware/mvs/server/libs/serverWindows:    C:\\Program Files\\Rocket Software\\MVS\\server\\libs\\server If the default MVS path was overridden at installation time, please adjust your path accordingly. To install the new scripts: 1.    Stop the MVS server2.    Make a backup of the existing .JARs3.    Copy the new .JARs to the appropriate directory4.    On Linux, chmod the .JARs to add execute permissions (if not already present)5.    Start the MVS server On Windows, stopping and starting the Rocket MV Web Service is done using the Windows Service Control manager. On Linux, use "service mv.serv stop" and "service mv.se

For decades, my customers have been emailing from their D3 applications by using a Windows command line email processor called "Blat." One customer claims that his IT guy told him that Blat will no longer work because their email server requires 2-factor authorization.1. Is the IT guy correct?2. Is there a workaround for 2-factor authorization to allow Blat to work?3. Is there another solution?Thanks.------------------------------Richard GinsburgPresidentGinsburg ConsultingManassas VA US------------------------------

I think we need a Labour Exchange where those looking for expertise can post their requirements and those with expertise can also post their experience and then they can contact each other.In my case, I am looking for people with expertise in D3/Linux, SB+ and MVS Toolkit, to work on systems that are now over 30 years old and are and have been continuously updated and new projects that are being rolled out on a regular basis.What do you all think?------------------------------Alex PolglazeThe Book-Keeping NetworkPerth Western Australia+61419 776 348apolglaze@book-keepingnetwork.com.auhttps://www.book-keepingnetwork.com.au/------------------------------

I have implement some web service calls in a Linux based D3 system without needing to use the MVS Toolkit. I was wanting to use the same code on a Windows version of D3 and decided to see if the MVS Toolkit would be suitable as the method of accessing D3 on Linux that I used does not appear to be suitable Windows based systems. I have created a web service named "editor" and a web service resource named "explore" for testing purposes. In order to replicate the way the Linux version works I just needed to implement a single resource and use the mvsp.get.http.* subroutines to extract the required data and then submit the data to the other subroutines that implement the business logic. All went well until I tried to use a PUT http method. It has the structure similar to PUT http://server_name:8181/editor/explore/?account=account_name&file=file_name&program=program_nameIn addition the content of the http request is a string representing a JSON object. Under this situation I was exp

We ran into this recently and I thought I'd share. In the legacy/character version of our software, we normally prompt for dates using a two digit year (mm-dd-yy), iconving and oconving as needed.  Recently, a user entered "12-31-33" as a date.  The iconv returned -12418 (12-31-1933) rather than the expected value of 24107 (12-31-2033).  After researching this we discovered that Pick/Rocket and QM both default to dates entered with 2 digit years greater than 30 to be in the 1900's, years less than 30 as assumed to be in the 2000's  Note: iconving a date with a 4 digit year always returns the correct value..  QM does have a config setting that will allow you to override the cutoff, however rather than remembering to change the config setting every few years on every user system, we opted to add code to our legacy system that checks the iconv'ed value and adjusts it as needed.------------------------------Ben CramerOwnerDealer Solutions LLCMansfield TX US------------------------------

Hi allSimple question here on callx - D3 on Windows:I'm trying to do a simple "catch" whenever someone edits a file. So, I write a simple subroutine and compile it and flash compile with 'o' option (per documentation) I add the call to attribute 8 in the dict entry of the file: and proceed to ed(it) an item expecting my subroutine to trigger - but it doesn't WHY? Is there anything I'm missing? The subroutine is: (really complex :)) I'll just leave this here for constructive comment - ThanksStefano
