I have been away from the U2 community for 15 years. Just downloaded the UV 11.4 trial Windows (2-user). How is it that I create another user to test remote login from the network? I looked at XAdmin but didn't see anything about users/logins there.------------------------------Chad LarsonPrincipal DeveloperSelf RegisteredLehi UT US------------------------------
I have encountered a hard-error when attempting to use the Online editing mode (Online Editing - Rocket MV BASIC Rocketsoftware remove preview Online Editing - Rocket MV BASIC Online Editing is an additional method for modifying BASIC program files on the U2 server. With this feature, users can remotely edit BASIC program files on the U2 server instead of having to retrieve or upload files from a repository. However, it is important to note that users cannot simultaneously utilize this mode alongside the traditional editing mode. View this on Rocketsoftware > ) . While attempting to open an account in the explorer tree, if the account VOC contains a Q-pointer that contains "?" in the name then an error is presented. No further processing of the VOC is possible and no list of files available for editing is presented. This is what the VOC item looks like: Whilst I wonder why such a character might cause the MV Basic extension so much problems, I can u

I use UniVerseSQL a lot. The absence of the equivalent of TSQL's Replace() function was a handicap so I wrote a wrapper function for BASIC EREPLACE() and added it to the Global Catalog. It works fine but the call is a little messy.EVAL 'SUBR("-REP.CHARS", attribute, "somestring", "anotherstring", 1, 1)' I'm curious if there is something I can put in the VOC to allow it to be called using just a VOC name and the arguments like the native UniverseSQL functions.------------------------------Greg ClitheroeRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

This is a general question regarding using Test Driven Development in Universe Basic. Has anyone used this to develop their software and is there a testing framework that can be used? I have been asked to try it out and have only found information using object oriented programming languages. So far, I have created an ASSERT function and have started implementing test cases. Thanks in advance for any advice.------------------------------Maureen CollinsUniverse Database ProgrammerTeachers Mutual BankHomebush NSW AU------------------------------
I have been replicating for a while now with cloud systems to our in-house server using Universe and before that Unidata. However, one of our clients asked if you could have the publisher be a subscriber too? And could the subscriber be a publisher too? Posted at: 02-10-2024 10:12
I read in an earlier post that someone had created an ANTLR file for BASIC or C. Do you still have the file? I am new to ANTLR but would like to create a parser for users entering at least BASIC code. Thanks!

We are pleased to announce the release of MultiValue Performance Experience v 1.9.0.1516 on January 25, 2024. This is the third MVX: Performance release focused on improving replication as part of a MultiValue HA/DR strategy. We've added replication charts to provide you with more insights into the replication status and latency of your MV databases. You can now see four different charts showing you the subscriber latency trend, the estimated time to catch up, and the distribution of replication data for all groups or a selected group. This is a big improvement over using XAdmin, where you had to do the mental math to understand the estimated time to catch up. You can also use the Graphical Range drop-down menu in MVX: Performance to select a time range for viewing the data trends. Two of the replication charts now support aggregated group data, which means you can see the combined data for multiple groups in one chart. This can help you compare and contrast the replication performan
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 --------------------------
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'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------------------------------

Hi all I'm trying to make sense of the encoding of strings coming and going between Basic and Python. Our Universe database stores its data using OEM encoding, so to pass data to Python we do a series of transformations inside Basic to convert them to UTF-8. Now I want to pass this OEM strings, as they are, directly into Python and do the conversion there, but I'm having some trouble. ALL.CHAR.STR='' ALL.CHAR.STR=ALL.CHAR.STR:CHAR(1):CHAR(2):CHAR(3):CHAR(4):CHAR(5):CHAR(6):CHAR(7):CHAR(8):CHAR(9):CHAR(10):CHAR(11):CHAR(12):CHAR(13):CHAR(14):CHAR(15) * rest of characters... ALL.CHAR.STR=ALL.CHAR.STR:CHAR(241):CHAR(242):CHAR(243):CHAR(244):CHAR(245):CHAR(246):CHAR(247):CHAR(248):CHAR(249):CHAR(250):CHAR(251):CHAR(252):CHAR(253):CHAR(254):CHAR(255) RESPUESTA=PyCallFunction('encoding_test','test_encoding', ALL.CHAR.STR) On the Python side I'm doing this def test_encoding(universe_str: str) -> str: for c in universe_str: print(f'{ord(c)}') return 'OK' This prints t
Other than using the LIST.INDEX command to see if an Index build is required, are there any other tools available to determine if an Index is in-sync with the data file? We are getting false negative results using LIST.INDEX. Example: SELECT CUSTOMER WITH NAME = "SMITH" 1 record selected Then if we try: SELECT CUSTOMER WITH NAME = "SMITH" NO.INDEX 3 records selected If we rebuild the INDEX then the Select will return 3 records SELECT CUSTOMER WITH NAME = "SMITH" 3 records selected Also, what would cause the Index to become out-of-sync with the data file, and how can we prevent this from happening? ------------------------------Gil SteidleDEVDDI System Incbrick NJ US------------------------------
If you have DX'd an FSI account, the QS pointer probably still exists in the VME's MDS. This can cause a problem with RESTORE-ACCOUNTS as it will create the DX'd account, restore the data from the account following it on the tape, then not restore that following account as itself. Example: you have an account called test followed immediately by an account called orders. You DX the test account and do a file save. You delete the accounts and do a RESTORE-ACCOUNTS. test will exist with the orders account's content and the orders account will not exist. Note that this affects RESTORE-ACCOUNTS but does NOT affect ACCOUNT-RESTORE, so if you stumble on this, you can delete any erroneous accounts and ACCOUNT-RESTORE FSI:<missing account> and you'll be good. Doing a d3vme /fileload is not affected either. Please note that Engineering is aware of this issue and currently working on a resolution. For those of you who need a little more detail on what I mean by "DX'ing an account", I'm refe
