hi, when I use PyCallMethod or PyCallFunction, the result is typed by python. uvPythons doc talk about PYOBJECT. so, how can we define if pyCall return a PYOBJECT or a string/number usable in basic ?  Actually, I perform a pyCallMethod(builtins,'str',myvariable)  Is there a better method ?  manythanks. ------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

Hi, We recently upgraded the RAM on the server running D3/Linux and would like to allocate a greater portion of it to the D3 VM. What is the proper way to recalculate the "core" value in the pick0 file?

Hey, wondering if anyone is successfully connecting to Uniobjects on a Linux server (a recent Redhat release), using AD authentication?  I'm working with a customer that does not want to use any local accounts at all to connect to Unidata (i.e. the accounts should not be in /etc/passwd or added locally with useradd, they must be AD accounts).  I'm not sure if uniobjects uses PAM and can do that kind of auth. If you are using AD auth with Uniobjects, is the account you're using allowed to login to the server via ssh?  That's the second requirement - they don't want someone with a service account password using it to login.  I know on windows, Uniobjects requires the account to have the "log on locally" privilege. Grateful to hear of anyone's experiences with this (especially if it's a positive "yes it works!") or pointers to docs I may have missed :-)------------------------------Ian McGowanPrincipal ConsultantRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

I'm pleased to announce the release of MultiValue Integration Server (MVIS)  1.3.3.0. MVIS 1.3.3 is the third maintenance release in the last 18 months. Some of the key highlights in 1.3.3 are: Java 11 support - MVIS now supports Java 11 in addition to Java 8. Support for user defined topic prefixes on Azure service bus - This enhancement provides a way to support multiple mvis/admin pairs on a containerized installation of MVIS, reducing the cost of deployment on Azure (since it removes the requirement for one service bus per MVIS instance). Support for Alpine Linux 3.18 - We've upgraded MVIS containers to the latest version of Alpine Linux, v3.18. 1.3.3 includes 8 bug fixes (refer to the release notes for details) MVIS product lifecycle dates: 30 Jun 2023 GA 30 Jun 2026 EOM 30 Jun 2027 EOS 30 Jun 2028 EOLS ------------------------------Hernando BordaProduct Manager, MultiValue ToolsRocket Softwarehborda@rocketsoftware.com------------------------------

Updating the D3 patch list yet again! In order to help the D3 community stay informed about when patches become available, we will be using the Rocket Forum to announce the availability of new D3 patches and service packs, so make sure that you check back often, or better yet, make sure you receive email notifications from the Rocket Forum.

We are running OpenQM 4.0.8 on W2019 in Azure. We are running an Apache web server on a private separate server outside of Azure. we are having what we consider slow and variable response times. we have added a considerable amount of tracking but are unable to find the bottleneck. we are use PHP page to call a function that gets data from the QM server. we are using a http call from the PHP function we call:    (we have 20+ of these calls for different information), for instance: http://web.xyz.com:8280/api/getpurp?fnme="obj.maint" we know that the pageload (and function call) is taking 1.723 seconds. We have tracked the QM side at 8ms. we have looked at the flush time in QM   and tried WFLUSH to make sure that buffering the response is not part of our problem. we are trying to make sure that we don' t have virus checking software causing delay on the W2019 machine we are looking for best practice here. do people use a private tunnel between webserver and DB server ? do people put

One of my customers has declared end-of-life on their Windows 2012 server upon which we have run 11.3.1 for 10 years or so.?? The new server will be Windows 2022.?? 11.3.1 is not listed as certified for 2022 server.?? Can I have the IT department move our 11.3.1 system to the 2022 server and then install the 11.3.5 to which we are upgrading while we continue to operate on the old server??? Will programs have to be recompiled and recataloged on the new server or will the map still be valid??? Has an upgraded python been included with the UniVerse download and will it be added or replace the current python?Thanks,Dale

I have 1.3.1 installed in a test environment. Installation was a real pain since the documentation for the correct version of Java and Python were incorrect in the docs. Thank heaven for Rocket support! We wanted to use Azure for our OAUTH bearer token (like we do through Postman), but could never figure out how to do that in 1.3.1. With Rocket's assistance, we got things working using KeyCloak. I have found 1.3.2 release notes and user guide, but cannot see if anything changed to resolce the above problems. 1) does 1.3.2's zip bundle contain the Python and Java versions that are required? 2) can Azure be used for the Bearer token (OAUTH), and if so how? Would appreciate someone pointing me to some more complete docs that may cover these topics. Thanks in advance.------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------

We are in testing a new server where we've installed jBASE 5.8.  We migrated everything from the old server running jBASE 5.7 and are concerned about indexes. Although we rebuilt all the indexes the LIST-INDEX command does not display the indexes on jBASE 5.8 Using the INVOICE file as an example, on jBASE 5.7, "LIST-INDEX INVOICE" displays the following: INDEX definitions for file INVOICE at 11:22:28  06 JUL 2023          PAGE    1 INDEX NAME LOCALE NAME SORT KEYS.

We have a need to create a single URL RESTful service that will give a different response for GET and POST queries. For GET, the service just echoes the data passed, but for POST it must return data from the database in JSON format. I created an "endpoints.yaml" to create the GET, but have not found any way to create a single URL that answers both GET and POST and treats them differently. So we might have, for example, a call to the URL: http://testapi.mbs.net.au:7171/APP/subroutine/TESTSUB?responsecode This would be expected to simply return the string "responsecode" as specified in the URL. However, if data is POSTed to the same URL (minus the "?responsecode" part), then JSON containing database information would be returned. I've tried various things in endpoints.yaml but have had no success. Can the above be accomplished in MVIS and, if "yes", how would we go about doing it?------------------------------Martin ShieldsSenior Technical ConsultantMeier Business Systems PTY LTDCarnegie

we are working on D3 to QM conversion.  The client had a number of select statements that use wildcards. we already know, and are converting to "pattern matching" from QM. The square brackets all still work.  Is there any characters to use similar to D3      with part.nbr = "A^^3^^" The up carrot was a wild card character for a single character.

Another frustrating problem I need some help with.  Added a new laser printer, wired ethernet connection. jBase 5.8.5 on Windows 10 Multi-page program output now prints 60 lines on page 1 , 4 lines on page 2, 60 lines on page 3 and so on.  There is no way to set a default line/page on the printer.  I've tried using TERM to change the printer length to 56  and tried creating a formtype with the shortened length but neither worked.  How do I "override" or work around the misplaced formfeed??

Hi All -  I just found on our system that exiting a program does not clear an active select list. Im unsure if this is universe specific as I did not have to clear select buffers in Unidata, but this has shown to be an issue here. There is a basic CLEARSELECT statement just as there is at TCL. Is that a standard for anyone running Universe? To use CLEARSELECT in your programs? Do you use it generically when entering or exiting a program?  And now that I've seen this - what other pieces should I be on the lookout for that are saved between programs by user? Obviously named commons and passed variables but...any like this savedlist that might not be obvious? Lastly, is there an alternative to changing the code? Like an option I could set at tcl or in code that clears the buffers when exiting a program? Thanks!------------------------------Kathleen HambrickProgrammer at Colwell------------------------------

I'm pleased to announce the release of AccuTerm 8.1.0.0 This is the first GA release of AccuTerm as part of Rocket. Most importantly, the product now follows a unified Go To Market for the multiple components of AccuTerm. AccuTerm Desktop and AccuTerm.IO (or AccuTerm web) are now released together as one product with the same version numbering.  There are numerous defect fixes and enhancements that will continue to bring the product forward. Some of the key highlights are: AccuTerm web support for on-premises deployment. This will allow customers to deploy the browser based AccuTerm on their own hardware without depending on the hosted version of AccuTerm.IO. SSO support. AccuTerm can now be configured to use single sign-on and rely on the Windows user credentials to authenticate with an MV application server. Improved GUI for AccuTerm web. This release contains multiple enhancements to bring the GUI on a browser to parity with the AccuTerm desktop version. Security Certification. 8.1

Intermittently, we are getting the following error message when updating large files.  The files check out OK in jBase and using chkdsk.    Running 5.8.5 on Windows.  Application programs have not been changed in years. Dynamic files READ error number 2007 at position xx:xxxx, File '\\xxx', item id 'xxx' Error 2007 during READ_ERROR to file xxx Enter I to Ignore.... When this happens, I do a 'select' of only the records that reference that particular item.id and re-run the program.  The item will then update properly!  Short term, is there a way to capture the error messages and bypass the prompt so as not to have to interrupt the operation and allow the program to run to completion?  Any diagnostic help would be appreciated.

hello,  when we define a function like  def funcname(a,b,c); return (a * b + c) Can we use keyword argument syntax when calling a method/function ?  like PyCallFunction("module","funcname",a=1,c=2,b=3)   or is it mandatory to use positional argument ? PyCallFunction("module","funcname",1, 3, 2) ?  many thanks------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

    Key Takeaways:Do not use dimensioned redimensionable-array elements for EXECUTE variable targets for CAPTURING, RTNLIST and SETTING and variable sources for PASSLIST.The areas of concern:1. Information style redimensionable arrays may change size in the executed program.2. Arrays of either flavor compute to a temporary in a PASSLIST that gets overwritten by constructing the command string in a concatenation. This UniVerse bug results in the command string passed to the command as the select list.  Environment:UniVerse 11.3.1.6022Fedora Linux UniVerse supports two kinds of array.  Pick sytle arrays have fixed dimensions at compile time. Each element of the array takes one VARTAB (variable table) slot. VARTAB uses an unsigned short for an index which limits the total number of slots in a compilation unit, program or subroutine, to 64K elements. (This limits an array to a maximum of 64K elements.) Information style arrays specify dimensions at run time and may change and consumes only
