We are in the process of upgrading from Unidata 8.2.4 to 8.3.2.  While the OpenSSL bundled with Unidata has upgraded from v1 to v3 as part of this upgrade, the OpenSSL 3 is still showing vulnerabilities as part  of our vulnerability scanningOur security team are asking if its possible for Unidata to use the version of OpenSSL thats installed as part of the Red Hat Linux and kept up to date via patching.Is this possible?  Is it a god/bad idea?  Is there a clear process for doing this?

The languge server that comes with Rocket MV Basic likes to complain about undefined variables in code such asfoo = 4bar = foo-1where it will say “Referenced undefined variable: foo-1” because it is detecting the minus operator as part of a variable name. Am I the only person experiencing this issue? Can this be addressed? It’s rather annoying as much of the code I’m looking at was last formatted with the Accuterm wED editor which did not enforce spacing around operators.

UOPY Example - Working with JSON  Making the connection The following code is a simple example to connect to a local U2 Database. In this example I am connecting to UniData, but the code would work the same against UniVerse, the only thing you would need to modify is the server and account settings. In [1]: import uopy import getpass user = input("Enter user name? ") passwd = getpass.getpass("Enter Password? ") def makeconnection(user, password): config = { 'user': user, 'password': passwd, 'service': 'udcs', 'account': 'C:\\\\U2\\\\ud82\\\\XDEMO', 'encoding': 'GB18030', 'pooling_on': 'False' } thissession = uopy.connect(**config) return thissession session = makeconnection(user, passwd) print(str(session)) Enter user name? mrajkowski Enter Password? ········ <uopy._session.Session object {'host': 'localhost', 'account': 'C:\\\\U2\\\\ud82\\\\XDEMO', 'por

 We’re excited to share a new release of MV Basic for VS Code that delivers meaningful improvements, with a strong focus on jBASE environments.What’s ImprovedStronger jBASE SupportThis release significantly expands jBASE capabilities, particularly for online development. Customers can now more easily connect to jBASE servers, explore accounts and files, and work with data in real time. Configuration and build workflows have also been streamlined to better align with modern jBASE project setups.Smarter Developer AssistanceWe’ve enhanced in-editor guidance using official jBASE documentation, helping developers understand language features and behavior more quickly, without leaving their workspace.Better Configuration & Workflow FlexibilityCatalog, compile, and connection configurations are now more complete and consistent, making projects easier to set up, maintain, and share across environments.Improved Accuracy & CompatibilitySeveral fixes reduce false warnings and remove unnec

I’m attempting to load Universe 10.2 (yeah, I know it’s old) on a Windows 11 Pro platform.  I’m getting a load error: “Could not load UniVerse DLL D:\IBM\UV\BIN\universe.dll”.  Has anyone had any success in loading this releases on Windows 11, or have found a work around for it? (beside upgrading..lol)Thank you all in advance..Mark Warner

i will have to upgrade a universe server and a unidata server in the coming year. i thought why are we running both. when i upgrade the unidata server should i convert it to universe. is it more work than doing the upgrade itself. if so how much more work.

Are there any TCL/command line tools for updating Unidata ODBC configuration ala VSG?  

Well, don’t know how it happened but somehow the ODBC configuration for one of customer accounts has been damaged and they want to restore it to what it was yesterday.  What files need to be restored to get this repaired?

It used to be the VSG, then the MDM, and I can’t find the MDM anywhere these days. What do y’all use for mapping Unidata tables to ODBC?

Is it possible to have a complete D3 integration in Rocket MVBasic for Vscode ?Actually, there’s only code integration for jbase and universe…and documentation is slighly different...

Good evening, I'm looking for software that, when I upload a song from my computer, will translate the language of the singer in the song into another language that I choose from the list of languages, but in the original voice of the singer himself.........

We are a rather large implementation of Universe 11.3.1 (originally created in the mid-80s as a PI install and migrated to PI Open to Universe over the years).   We have 3 application developers but do not have a traditional UV admin (we don’t modify the uvconfig parameters at all).  The system just seems to run itself.  I have read through Tech Specs & Release Notes but have not found alot of detail on how to or what to look out for.Does anyone have experience in going from 11 to 14?  Any advice or detailed check list?Thank you!

June 8, 2022 As a Sales Engineer, a question I often get from customers is, “Which API (application programming interface) should I use?” I usually will answer “It depends”. In this article I will discuss the APIs and the “depends”. Hope you’ll find it useful and informative. Of all the U2 APIs, I prefer MVIS because RESTful services have become a standard API interface that natively supports the nested data model. Many of our customers have replaced U2REST with MVIS, and are realizing the benefits of automation, integration, and ease of use. (a.k.a. “how to get your new features and applications to market faster”) In addition, many have found that it dovetails into their broader modernization strategy. This enables customers to develop web/mobile applications without needing to know about U2. Customers using ODBC with desktop applications like Excel, could now offer a RESTful services interface and not have to use VSG or HS.ADMIN to define ODBC access. Just like XML, JSON is a great

We’re excited to announce the release of Rocket® MVIS version 2.3.2, designed to deliver more quality, security, and operability.Highlights in MVIS 2.3.2:Modernized Admin Experience for faster onboarding, lower operational friction, and safer day-to-day administration.New incremental Admin UI with clear MANAGE / DEVELOP / OPERATE separation improves usability and reduces admin error Centralized configuration for Admin, REST, and OpenTelemetry No disruption: new UI is accessed in a separate tab during transitionStronger Security & Enterprise Identity for MVIS Admin aligning MVIS with enterprise security standards, and audit requirements.Role‑Based Access Control (RBAC) for MVIS Admin via built in Vault or Azure AD Azure AD OAuth2 integration option for enterprise SSO Clear separation of Admin vs Developer responsibilitiesEmbedded API Development & Flexibility resulting in fewer API workarounds, faster development cycles, and better tooling compatibility.Embedded API Editor impro

Hi!  I am using Cursor to code (more than just coding, Cursor excels in Agentic programming tasks, I find it better than VS Code).  Cursor is a fork of VS Code, but it does not use the official Microsoft Visual Studio Marketplace. Instead, it uses a community-driven registry called Open VSX. Rocket MV Basic extension is not listed as a valid extension, so I can’t install it from the Extensions tab.  Gemini tells me I have two alternatives to install the extension in Cursor:Option 1: Cursor allows you to import the extensions from VS Code. This option is not working for me. Option 2: Install it directly from a VSIX file, that should be downloadable from the Rocket MV Basic Extension on the VS Code Marketplace. But there is no link to download a .vsix file to install it manually.  So I’m stuck with the installation.  The best solution would be to add the extension to the Open VSX catalog, so it can be installed from the Extensions menu and updated automatically.  If not possible, can any

in Basic.  I have a program which calls a RESTApi and returns results and puts it into a txt file.   When I read the test file with another basic program, an INDEX funtion that I need to perform doesn't appear to work (returns zero).  When I put the file contents into a basic variable, the INDEX function works correctly.   I’ve looked at the file for special or non-printable characters which might cause the INDEX function not to work, and the file itself is clean.  What if anything else can I try  (and I’ve tried a bunch)..

HiI’ve come across SYSTEM(49) in a program that I’ve been asked to update.It’s returning a ‘0’ but I don’t know what it is and the documentation I’ve seen does not say anything about SYSTEM(49).Can anyone help with this?Thanks.
