i have another question, this time as per subject line i'm trying to set up the d3telnet turnkey stuff, on almalinux 9.4 where xinetd is not available. the admin.pdf talks about using xinetd and doesn't mention any other possibilities. i've searched the forum for 'xinetd' & 'turnkey' & found this post: D3 and mvBase which included a clue re. setting up a d323@.service so i tried to copy that manually then started it with systemctl. it failed though, and some digging revealed that the /usr/bin/d3net/d3_tel command doesn't accept either -w or -p arguments. i poked at it a bit and got the following: Usage: mve_tel [-debug4 | -debug6] [-h] [-n] [-N] [port] but i haven't been able to find where any of those options are defined, and at this point i'm not sure i'm even following the right lead. i've checked all the PDFs that came in the d3 10.3.4 download, and like i said i've searched on here, but i haven't managed to find what i'm looking for. is there a published guide somewhere t

In D3 PICK, how could I check (automated) to ensure that the scheduler is up and running?  Would a PHANTOM job that checks the status of "bgsched" by issuing "where" command? Is there a way from *INUX to have a cronjob check?  If so, how? Thanks In Advance!------------------------------Val YanezProgrammerRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

i'm working on a fresh install of almalinux 9.4 and d3 10.3.4, setting up a new box that we plan to migrate a much older d3 install onto within the next month or so. i don't have a ton of experience with alma (or centos7 which the old box is running, or any other rhel variants), so i'm kind of figuring my way through as i go. anyways the problem i've run into now is TLLicMgr is failing to start on its own, and i tracked it down to systemctl reporting that rslm has failed.  here's the error message i get when i do systemctl status rslm.service systemd[1]: Starting Rocket Software License Manager...

The Rocket® MV team is pleased to announce the release of Rocket UniVerse 14.1.1 on June 26th, 2024.  Rocket UniVerse 14.1.1 builds upon functionality implemented in version 11.4.1 and 12.2.1, making it the upgrade and modernization path for all customers on all prior versions. UniVerse 14 ensures business continuity and helps you manage your replication environment effectively with key HA/DR features. Replication is faster and more flexible with Field-Level Updates, since the entire record is no longer transmitted during updates, only the individual field that was modified is replicated - significantly improving performance! Facilitate Replication recovery with the uv_repadmin skip option which allows you to skip an incomplete transaction that has caused replication to stop processing. By using the skip option, administrators keep Replication processing and avoid log build-up and the eventual reset and refresh of Replication due to a stalled group. Facilitate Replication recovery wi

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 minimal configuration. They've pointed out that Oracle allows a separate server setup "for the duration of their DR testing" free of charge.   I'm reaching ou

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 (term type 2). Open the extension repo to GitHub. ------------------------------Stuart BoydellTechnical SpecialistMeier Business Systems PTY LTDCarnegie 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)!   You can now compile and catalog BASIC program files directly in Online Editing Mode, and even process multiple files simultaneously.  The benefits of online editing and compiling include simple sharing mechanisms, simplified build mechanism, access to modern IDE features and quick setup with pre-installed runtimes, SKDs, and dev tools in VS Online.    Currently, you can find this feature in the BASIC Developers Toolkit and we've included it for your convenience in MVVS. In addition, you can now customize the remote procedure call (RPC) service name (only in offline mode), if you don't want to use the default RPC service provided by the U2 server; for example, if you want a shorter timeout in this service call which saves resources.  You could also take advantage of this feature to improve security.  We've also included three bug fixes that increase ease of use:  

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.

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 Toolkit, as well as upgrades to the .NET Framework. These upgrades empower SB/XA to work seamlessly with the latest version of the tools you rely on.  Xceed DataGrid v7.2 (from v5.3)  Xceed Toolkit v4.8 (from v4.5.1)  Both upgrades provide you with a decade or more of incremental performance and stability improvements. And SB/XA 6.6.1 is using versions of the Xceed DataGrid and Xceed Toolkit that are covered by Xceed support.  We've upgraded the .NET Framework to v4.8 (from 4.5). This highly compatible upgrade includes improvements made to the Framework over the last decade.    Finally, SB/XA 6.6.1 includes a roll up of all the hot fixes we've made since SB/X

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 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 extends the security features introduced in UniData 8.3.1, which included: Enhance

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? Thanks, Brian------------------------------Brian SpeirsSenior Analyst - Information SystemsRush Flat LtdWellington NZ------------------------------

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!

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, so I'm only using one D3 connection f
