Rocket MultiValue

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

The dual terminal debugging feature seems to have stopped working correctly. I am on Windows 11 running Unidata 8.2.3. I used to use this feature heavily when debugging character base screens.

I have installed MVIS 1.3.4 and was hoping I would not have to re-key the Subroutines and dynamic arrays.  The manual talks about this on page 37  under "Importing a U2 REST server".  However, it says to use the U2 RESTful Web Services Toolkit to export/import.  I do not have any idea where to find this toolkit? MVIS admin does not have anything except Import/Export config (cm.ini) U2 Web Services Developer Tool contains our SOAP services but not the MVIS subroutines/arrays. There is a file that looks promising in C:\\U2\\CM\\u2rest names <ACCOUNT>.xml.  Is it as simple as copying that XML file from one server to the other?  What am I missing?

What is the best way to have one Accuterm session with limited menu options but also on some workstations to have a full menu session option.  I know to use the menu designer to control the master menu.  Can we install Accuterm in two different directories and have the two different Accuterm session icon point to different starting directories to allow the full menu session?   We need to lock down the limited menu Accuterm session so standard users can only use Accuterm as configurated to the servers we define but would like superusers and support staff the full version.   We control who can use which session type by AD group.  We use SCCM, a deployment tool that distributes software, to deploy Accuterm .    

We recently got an email from our security team regarding an ODBC vulnerability notice sent out from Microsoft. We are not currently using ODBC directly with UniVerse but it's probably still in use by our guys doing SQL. Just curious if anyone else has had to deal with this and if there are any results that may help others in the group. The two vulnerabilities are listed below: VUL0014881 - TEN-175440, Security Updates for Microsoft SQL Server OLE DB Driver (April 2023) VUL0014958 - TEN-175440, Security Updates for Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver (April 2023) Thanks!------------------------------Jeff TeterWoodforest National BankThe Woodlands, TX------------------------------

I have a client that runs Universe processes from cron. They do it by running a shell script that changes to the desired Universe folder and then execute "uv SOME.COMMAND".  Universe starts up and runs that command. The problem is, it first runs the LOGIN proc so if there's a menu, it displays that and only runs the command when they exit. They've gotten around that by checking to see if the user is running as root (which is how their cron jobs run) and going directly to TCL if that's the case. That works but has some issues. Is there any way to start Universe in an account but tell it to not run the account logon procs? Alternatively, is there any way from a basic program to tell if Universe was started with a command line argument? When you run uv with a command, does it push it onto the stack? How does it all work?

Greetings!Can someone point me to where on the Rocket site I can find high-level documentation regarding UniVerse EDA?  I have the docs that come with the UV 1.3.5 Documentation packet, but those are more setup and admin.  I'm looking for something I can use to help explain to those above me what it is and why we should use it - kind of like an executive summary/white paper.  I am hoping for more than the page that says "EDA is wonderful - contact us for more info", but less than the config/admin docs. I thought I had found it many moons ago, but am not having any luck today.  I am apparently not very good at searching for things on the Rocket site. Thanks!!Brian

Hey all,First time posting so I hope I'm in the correct area. Please correct me if I'm wrong.With the recent dropping of OpenSSL 1.1.1 support, I'm wondering if there has been communications from Rocket Software to support OpenSSL 3 for UniData 8.2.4. This is going to be a huge pain-point for our organization and are trying to prevent issues stemming from this if at all possible.From reading about OpenSSL 1.1 vs OpenSSL 3, there is a possibility of applications that use 1.1 to work with 3.0, but there's no guarantee. Backwards compatibility is limited. Another question because I'm curious: has anyone implemented openssl 3 for UniData 8.2.4 and, if so, were there any issues?Thanks,Brandon------------------------------Brandon BunchERP Solutions Specialist IIRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------
