Hi everyone,   I have a client with a successful D3 10.3 Linux installation who needs to meet auditing requirements by testing their Disaster Recovery (DR) procedure. The DR test is an annual event where they spin up a Linux server with a D3 instance and restore their database and applications.   Rocket's policy, as outlined in the Rocket MV End User Handbook (page 28), states that when running D3 in a High Availability/Disaster Recovery (HA/DR) setup, matching licenses with unique serial numbers and identical configurations are required. This includes scenarios like using U2 Replication or any secondary mechanisms for failover, all of which need additional licenses.   My client is resistant to replicating their D3 Production environment and is also hesitant about the alternative solution of maintaining a separate D3 machine with min

I am running AIX and ksh.  At the AIX prompt, I have: AIX $ which matches the value for PS1    PS1='AIX $ ' when I issue the SH command from Universe,  I get to the host system.  I can issue AIX commands (without issue I think)However,  the Prompt is NOT displayed.  It is just blank The shells are linked together: $ ls -al | grep 326868 # -r-xr-xr-x    5 bin      bin          326868 Sep 12 2023  ksh# -r-xr-xr-x    5 bin      bin          326868 Sep 12 2023  psh# -r-xr-xr-x    5 bin      bin          326868 Sep 12 2023  rksh# -r-xr-xr-x    5 bin      bin &n

Some things I'd like to see. Ability to manage (view/edit/git) MV source that exists in hashed files - VOC, Dicts, etc. (maybe like the SQLTools extension). Code folding support. Option to format document so auto code block folding works. eg PROGRAM/SUBROUTINE, labels and RETURNs are hard left, comments and everything else indented to a minimum of the default margin, etc. Fix use of code folding markers [this can be manually set but something is interfering]. Set default markers - eg !!#region...!!#endregion Addon for xterm.js (vscode shell and ssh emulator) to support [some] SB+ character mode customisations (ter

Can  anyone advise if it is safe to use vMotion on a VM with a running instance of D3 and, if so, what state does D3 need to be in e.g. no users, no instrument interfaces ?------------------------------Les ReedApplication SpecialistLRS Health Pty LtdHeidelberg VIC AU------------------------------

The Rocket MultiValue team is happy to share that we've released version 2.5.0 of the MV BASIC for VS Code (MVVS)! 

Hi, We recently encountered a data file corruption on key files. This was causing our app to fail. Does anyone in the forum have knowledge of any tools that will send email alerts once a new entry is logged into the \\U2\\unidata\\bin\\udt.errlog. Thanks in advance for recommendations. ------------------------------[Darren] [Johnson] [Australia][Snr Dev Engineer]------------------------------

SB/XA 6.6.1 is now available and includes a lot of smaller enhancements that add up to big improvements, especially if you have an IT group that requires software to work with or include current releases of other technology. For example, SB/XA 6.6.1 includes extensive upgrades to the Xceed DataGrid and the Xceed Tool

Using a BASIC program, I need to read filenames and file dates from an AIX directory and compare them with names and dates held in UniVerse records. If the files are present among the UniVerse records then they need to be moved out of the directory and more files added from another directory. Any advice or code snippets much appreciated.

Could someone explain why these messages appear and the shell window closes when I use Ctrl-C and then option D while running a Unibasic program? ------------------------------Mark MartinNARocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

We upgraded our development server to Universe 11.3.4 and one of my programmers wants to work with Basic Profiling, in particular the bpf program. Where do we find it? I had understood that it was available on this version, but it's not in $UVHOME\\bin.------------------------------Phillip PotterV.P.

We use @USER0 for an application-level constant.  We set it in the LOGIN paragraph & it should remain constant. I've seen it sometimes - but not always  - get set to 0 after/while? I've used/exited(?)/re-entered(?) RAID.  I haven't pinned down what triggers  it. Ironically, the reassuring thing is that RAID is disgustingly buggy.  I've had problems in RAID that don't happen when real users run things for real.  So it's probably ok in production.  Probably. Anyone else seen something like this?------------------------------Chuck StevensonDBA / SW DeveloperPomeroyUS------------------------------

The Rocket MV team is pleased to announce the release of Rocket UniData 8.3.2 and Rocket MultiValue Performance Experience (MVX: Performance) 1.10 on April 25th, 2024. UniData 8.3.2 is the first UniData release certified with the Rocket MultiValue Performance Experience (MVX: Performance) 1.10, which is available for our customers on maintenance. MVX: Performance monitors the performance of your UniData server and provides DBAs or developers with a better way to track down issues. It determines the root cause of issues, including the server, the operating system, the hardware, or a combination. DBAs can easily receive alerts when over 40 performance monitoring events occur, so constant monitoring is not required.  In addition, UniData 8.3.2 and MVX: Performance 1.10 provide you with an enhanced replication experience, bolstering High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HA/DR) capabilities. UniData 8.3.2

We have encrypted a number of files. We can grant access to those encrypted files by using the GRANT.KEY command - but this only seems to work for USERS - if we specify a GROUP, then users that belong to that group cannot access the file. The documentation isn't clear on what type of GROUP is being specified - whether this is a Windows group, or a QM group (as defined in ADMIN.USER). We have tried both types of group and still get the same result. Has anyone else used this feature, and have you been able to define group access for an encrypted file?

Is there a .Net Core / .Net 6 compatible MVSP Client API?  If not, is there any planes to support this?I have tried using API version 2.1 for .Net Framework 4.5 in a .Net 6 core application and get the following runtime error.Exception:The type initializer for 'rocketsoftware.MVSP.TIGRCommmon' threw an exception.Inner Exception:Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.User' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'..Net Framework DLLs can be loaded into .Net 6 as long as the DLL’s referenced assemblies has a compatible .Net Core equivalent, 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.User'  was not ported to .Net Core.Thanks, Bill

 I can't get MVSP on my Linux D3/10.2 server to work with SSL.  I have a server.pem file in the /usr/lib/pick directory and MVSP seems to start ok when I instruct it to do so with ssl.

For a conversion project at a customer with 4000 custom programs written over 30 years we're trying to get a handle on which programs are actively used.  One idea that's been floated is running a monitoring program as root from the demo account that does the pseudo code below. By definition we'll be running this in production for a month or three, and there's some justified nervousness about any potential performance impacts.  I don't think the monitoring program will be a performance hog itself, but not sure if doing PORT.STATUS on the probed program has any effect - does it "pause" the probed program so the stack collected is consistent for example?  We're not expecting to get 100% coverage from this, but even 80% would be a huge help. Anyone ever done something like this for real?  Any war stories or hard-won words of wisdom to share?  Thanks for reading! LOOP EXECUTE 'LISTUSER' LOOP FOR EACH ROW IN LIS

I wondering what others do for pessimistic locking strategies. D3's normal READU will lock a record for that PIB, and that execute level, which is good, and it is the behavior all D3 Basic programs probably use.  My character based apps allow a user to "push" a level, so if you were in a customer maintenance screen,  for example, the customer record ABCD would be locked, and if you pushed a level in that screen  and used a menu selection to open a new customer maintenance screen and tried to edit ABCD, it would locked via the normal READU behavior. This would work the same if some other user on another PIB had  ABCD locked.  With  a Java Swing app using MVSP, because it's a GUI, I can have multiple windows opened at the same time, so I could have 2 (or 200)  customer maintenance screens open and clearly don't want to edit the same record on more than one screen.  If I used one D3 connection per open window, I'd pretty soon run out of user licences, s

Ran into a problem on an Azure RHEL 9 instance where D3_setup could not execute anything out of the /tmp directory resulting in a failed install (/usr/bin/d3 missing, etc.). If you run into this, do the following as root: mount -o remount,suid,exec /tmp You should also alter the /etc/fstab to make this permanent after a Linux reboot. Find this:/dev/mapper/rootvg-tmplv   /tmp   xfs  defaults,rw,nosuid,noexec,nodev,relatime  0 0 change this part:nosuid,noexec to this:suid resulting in this:/dev/mapper/rootvg-tmplv   /tmp   xfs  defaults,rw,suid,nodev,relatime  0 0 While not related to D3 installation, it might be a good idea to make the same changes for the /home directory so that you can execute out of the /home directory as well. To do that, change this line in /etc/fstab as well: Before:/dev/mapper/rootvg-homelv  /home  xfs  defaults,rw,nosuid,noexec,nodev,relatime  0 0After:/dev/mappe

A quick question from an mvBase user. Is there any way to get past the page width limitation of 132 characters as imposed by mvTerm? Is there an alternative terminal emulator that works with mvBase that could be used that does not have this limitation?

Hi All,  This is embarrassing (but not)Please help me here, I need to mount (such that tI may issue a t-select verb in D3) a new tape which is NOT included in the Pick0 file.I know this is doable but I forget the TCL command that does this.I'm on D3 Linux (Redhat) V 10.3 xBTW - I've Googled "Rocket D3 Linux mounting a new tape device" but I really haven't seen a proper answer.As I said - I've seen this before but I have a brain freeze right now :(Stefano

Hello, Our apps are written in SB+ which use a cached opened files, in named common block SBPLUS & SBFILES, of 30 + 750 = 780 filevars (result of OPEN file TO filevar from BASIC). Some of our app's files are indexed, dynamic or distributed.  It means, with 780 cached filevars, we open more than 1000 os file.  With release 11.x we are used to set MFILES 3000 without never a trouble.  Now r12, r14 introduce SESSION_NFILES limit. Which is session's ActiveFileTable instance. SESSION_NFILES is not defined in uvconfig. CONFIG ALL report SESSION_NFILES = 800 ; aka. MFILES x 4) Then, at basic runtime we encounter OPEN file to fv ELSE CRT STATUS() =  -25 which is Exceeded SESSION_NFILES file table resource.  I try to push MFILES from 200 to 300 or set

I would like to obtain the workstation hostname when a user logs into a Linux system.  I had it available on our Solaris Unix server but not on our RHEL8 server.  We use this to identify a physical location and to associate network printers nearby.  I am able to get the workstation hostname when in Citrix and by using Accuterm and checking a Session clientname but it is not always present when directly on the network and wondered if it was somewhere else Available to Accuterm.  Where can I found out the PC workstation hostname and what other windows information like this might be available to harvest? 0097:             * Check for citrix environmental variable CLIENTNAME0098:             SCRIPT = 'InitSession.Output Environ("CLIENTNAME") & vbCR'0099:             CRT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):'P':SCRIPT:CHAR(13): ; INPUT CLIENTNAME: ;  IF CLIENTNAME # '' TH
