I've noticed that a number of lppick processes are hanging around long after they should have exited.  I've seen this in v9, but I figured it was just a bug that would get resolved with v10.3.4.  Apparently not. :( Example: In the past, I've just killed these processes but before I go about that this time, I wanted to find out if there was something I can do to ensure that it doesn't keep happening. I should note that this isn't isolated to one of my plants - here's the list from my other plant: Both hosts are on RHEL 9.4 and using D3 v10.3.4. What do I need to do in order to keep these orphan processes from stacking up? Thanks folks! g. ------------------------------Gene BuckleSr. Programmer/AnalystPly Gem Pacific WindowsUS------------------------------

Hey, guys. new here. Programmed PICK and Unidata back in the late 80's / early 90's and I'm REALLY rusty. Can anyone tell me where to find a Dict Reference Guide?Thanks much- Rich------------------------------Richard LucibellaDirectorRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

We run d3 on an Windows Server 2008 Can someone describe how to move d3 to a new server (windows 2012)? eg;  Download installer to create the d3 environment Move live data from current server to new server. Explain how the license which allows the application to run is transferred to the new server.

This is probably an easy question for someone but I dont know the answer. I just switched to a new job and their wildcards seem to be prime like instead of PICK like...for instance - where I used to type 'SELECT VOC = "[KH]"' they are typing 'SELECT VOC WITH @ID LIKE "...KH..."' Can someone tell me if this is a UDT option? term type? some other setting that I can adjust? I can of course just get used to the new syntax but was wondering why it is different.

hi, May I introduce a suggestion to help the program runtime to check the type of a variable and not crash. There is already a function DESCRINFO(1,variable) which return the type of the variable ; so some type c.f. descrinfo() doc ref  on sellist, pyobject, udo, do, xdom, ... descrinfo() return -1 ...  I'll suggest to implement more descrinfo result value like 11=sellist, 12=pyobject, 13=udo, 14=do, 15=xdom, ... and by extension, if request_code = 2,  descrinfo return a DO with polymorph properties aka. metadata about the variable.  with kind regards------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

hi, when I try this : var = '' try var->$objecttype() catch e print 'error ':e->$tojson() endtry print 'finished' the error is not cached, the program terminate with echo bad self type: 2 and @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE = -1  Same behavior with the $fromjson(), $tojson() ...  any idea ? ------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

on a READU the STATUS() function is returning the incorrect value for the userno if the record is locked but a phantom.  Instead of a negative number is returns the number without the minus sign.  Has this been addressed ? 0001:       OPEN '','INCIDENT' TO FILE THEN                                     0002:          READU X FROM FILE,'21333' LOCKED                                 0003:             PRINT STATUS()                                                0004:          END ELSE                                                         0005:          END                                                              0006:       END                                                                 0007: END                 ?

The python 'dict' object is ubiquitous when interacting with python modules, functions and classes. The process to create a python DICT object using the U2 BASIC Python API is, well, interesting: Create a LIST containing just the 'name' and 'value' for the DICT entry Create a TUPLE from the list Append the TUPLE to another LIST that will be used to create the DICT When the LIST of TUPLE objects is completed, create a DICT using the LIST of TUPLES This all works ok for strings and numbers, but I cannot get a boolean True or False value to use in the tuple. I either get an integer value of 1, or 'None'. This is the code I have tested so far, trying to get a python True object/value: ** Attempting to create a python True object using the PyBASIC API pmo.BUILTINS = PyImport("builtins")if len(@PYEXCEPTIONTYPE) then gosub PY.BADNESS * Using CallMethod to run the "bool(x)" commandtest1 = PyCallMethod( pmo.BUILTINS, "bool", (-1))rslt = PyCallMethod( pmo.BUILTINS, "print", 'test1', test1) *

Hi Expert, I am new to U2 and the EDA Schema Manager tool. I am trying to import data from U2 files into a SQL table using EDA. I have successfully created an ODBC DSN connection and installed the EDA. Additionally, I connected to the U2 server and can see the schema files. However, I am encountering issues with the EDA Source connection.  I correctly created the connection, but when I validated it, I received different error messages each time. Here are the error details: 1. EDA license not authorized.2. Map Schema __CURRENT_MAP_SCHEMA__ failed on lex check.3. Could not write the data source (Connection Name) on Server (U2Server). Could you please advise on the reasons for these errors? Is it a license issue, and if so, how do I obtain a license? Or could it be a configuration issue? I would appreciate your help. Thank you! ------------------------------Marimuthu kalyanasundaramMRRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

After I converted to Windows 11, FT.IMPORT now hangs after the message "Converting spreadsheet.xlsx from Excel format for upload...".  I use this program constantly.  I'm also having some freezing issues when I use subroutines that show a GUI window.  I found the thread "Accuterm GUI lockup on windows 11" which strongly suggests upgrading to at least 8.0.1123 or 8.0.1127 as those versions have fixed some Windows 11 problems.  I currently have version 8.0.1023.  Is it likely that upgrading would solve the FTIMPORT problem too?------------------------------Steve HenkelDirector of ISRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

We're looking to upgrade to jBASE 6.2.1.1 but ran into a problem with printed output.  I believe I can solve this problem using SP-TRANSLATE.  Is there documentation more specific than what I could find on the website?  I would like details how to create the translation table and where it should be stored.  Thanks.

While developing an app using OpenInsight for MV (in this case Universe) from Revelation Software Bob Carten at Revelation suggested using commuter modules to manage I Descriptors that use the SUBR call.  (Note that this approach can be used without Revelation - it just happens to be my first use-case).  To establish a convention, each MV table that uses a commuter has a subroutine in the program file that starts with "I_" for I Descriptor.  That way you can see all of these commuters grouped together when listing them.  In this example, the MV Table in Universe is called "BOOKABLE", so the commuter subroutine is named "I_BOOKABLE" and in this example we will be using the dictionary entry "DESCRIPTION" and these are the first 5 lines of that DICT: >ED DICT BOOKABLE DESCRIPTIONThis is a Type "I" Descriptor last compi20 lines long. ----: L50001: I0002: SUBR("I_BOOKABLE","DESCRIPTION")0003:0004:0005: 20L And this is the subroutine I_BOOKABLE SUBROUTINE I_BOOKABLE(RESULT,DICT_ID)*******

Looking for a solution/trick/etc... for the following scenario: We're running a UniVerse 10.1.22 application on AIX 5.3.0. But want to offload a certain module for real-time processing to a new Centos Stream server on a VMware platform running UniVerse 14.1.1. The plan is to have the "core " files needed  NFS mounted and exported to the other server. So that they are viewed as local files to UniVerse and the rest of the application. To move the data, I've been using rsync and planned  to continue using it to keep the Centos server data current, for my purposes it was very efficient. The problem is each time the data is synced, I have to perform a "fnuxi" on the data to perform the byte-swap. Any alternatives to doing this fnuxi each time data is synced ? Is there a certain File type I can use (Type 1 or 19) to avoid this ?

We are running UV11.3.1 ( Pick Format ) on AIX 7200-05-08-2420  Yesterday, we started getting reports from the call centers about user's sessions freezing up. Normally, our first thought when this happens is a record lock of some kind.  If we tried to log into the application, we got to the login prompt and were able to authenticate. But once we successfully entered our userid/password to get into the application the session would hang.  We create thousands of uniobjects connections to the DB throughout the day from our web sites and IVR, and these were timing out. Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.[IBM U2][UODOTNET - UNIRPC][ErrorCode=81009] The RPC failed UniVerse itself was running fine.

We are aware of problems with the jBASE 5.8, 5.9, and 6.1 documentation libraries that prevent some topics from being displayed. We are working with the portal vendor and our team to correct the issues as soon as possible. The work around is to use the documentation in the restructured jBASE 6.2 publications, which do not have the same problem as the older versions.  We added an announcement banner about this at the top of the documentation portal as well. We apologize for the inconvenience and will work to resolve the issues as soon as possible.  Thanks for your patience. ------------------------------Kevin KUHNSDirector, Information DevelopmentRocket Internal - All BrandsWest Lafayette IN US------------------------------

Universe 11.3.1 running on AIX We use a sequentil file (0 bytes) "FLAG FILE" to indicate when a remote system has completed the build of a data file on the primary system.  A program on the primary  system trys to open the file, and loops until it is found (and can then start processing). Since this 'FLAG FILE" is not in the VOC, I can OPENSEQ it just fine.  But, I have not successfully found a good way to delete it. Of couse, I can execute a Unix script that will "rm" it, but I would rather do it within the UniVerse Basic program if possible.  (A DELETESEQ would be a good command, but it does not exist.)  Suggestions?------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------
