Morning All (South African Time!), I have a server upgrade coming up for a 65 user customer currently on D3 Linux 10.2. The plan is to go bleeding edge to 10.4 so have started the research and busy playing on a dev server. First off I see FSI and a totally new installation procedure.  Last time I used FSI was 20 yrs back when a customer had D3/Windows on WindowsNT - still have nightmares about WindowsNT :) So the point of my post is to ask for any hints and gotchas from those who have already done a similar migration, as I see there are a number of difference so it's not going to be a filesave & restore kind of migration. We use MVSP and we shell out to Linux occasionally to kick off Bash & PHP scripts. We also use the spooler to kick off Python scripts to create PDFs and/or email reports. Any pointers will be gratefully accepted! Have a great weekend! Thanks Tom------------------------------Tom PowerOwnerPower Business SystemsBenoni ZA------------------------------

Hi, I am using UODOTNET, Version=3.171.0.8100 in my Asp.net web API project to connect to Infolease. do we required "Microsoft SQL Server, ODBC and OLE DB Driver" to function properly. I would like to know if we uninstall the "Microsoft SQL Server, ODBC and OLE DB Driver" from the server, still UODOTNET works as before?

We are testing out AWS Cloud server. Small environment with Universe running on Windows. The question is: How to setup a Windows printer on that AWS server and direct the output to a local printer in our office network? The printer could be a HP PCL enabled printer, or a Zebra label printer using ZPL.------------------------------Suresh AnbilDeveloperOHM Systems IncCincinnati OH US------------------------------

I've had a problem with Universe that I haven't been able to figure out. When I log onto an account I get a message with some verbiage: >uv UniVerse Command Language 11.3 Copyright Rocket Software, Inc. or its affiliates, All Rights Reserved 1985-2016 BARS.DWHS logged on: Mon Nov 27 19:17:38 2023   ESC[?1hESC=ESC[HESC[2JESC[1;30HDry Storage Main Menus When I have my terminal type set to xterm I get this annoying ESC[?1h string that puts the terminal into application mode. That changes what the arrow keys send and messes up some of my input routines. Where the %#$^ is that coming from? I don't even know what that UV logon message is called which is probably why I haven't found any documentation for it in any of the manuals. I'd look for some banner file but it's not just text. It's under UV program control because it knows the term type and changed what is sent based on that. Can anyone clue me in to where to look? Thanks!------------------------------Joe GoldthwaiteConsultantPhoeni

I am hoping someone can explain how Universe determines when, and from where, to load object code. What does Universe do when it has to call a subroutine. My experiments point to using a globally catalog subroutine as being faster than a locally catalog routine but I don't see why. I understand that with a local catalog the system must read the VOC to find the object location then load the object code, but once it is loaded it remains in memory for the duration of the program. Why would this be faster than a global catalog which must effectively do a similar thing. And regardless of how it is found and loaded, thereafter, the object remains in memory and there should be no difference in the cost of each subsequent call. Yet my testing shows a significant performance gain using a globally catalog subroutine. I believe a globally cataloged subroutine loaded to shared memory so multiple processes execute the same object code but each with there own memory space. Is that correct? What is t

I'm happy to share the news of the release of AccuTerm 8.1.1.0. The latest version of AccuTerm is available for download from Rocket Business Connect (RBC). Version 8.1.1 removes the requirement to have a live connection to Rocket software to authorize and activate AccuTerm. Instead, starting with 8.1.1 you will need to enter a license key to activate your product. After you activate AccuTerm you don't need to be able to connect to the internet or rely on Rocket's back-office systems to use or authorize your product. You can obtain your AccuTerm license keys through RBC. For more details on this and other AccuTerm information, you can read the AccuTerm FAQ. Please reach out to your account executive, Rocket support or Rocket product management if you have any questions.

I have a challenge to automate the creation of a backup file for an existing data file. The data file being backed up will vary and they can be hashed or dynamic files. It has been reasonably straight forward until I came to the effort to support an existing dynamic file. All my previous posts about dynamic files are in an attempt to better understand how I can assess the existing file such that I can create the backup file using well-optimised specifications so the item copy process is as quick/efficient as possible. I was first thinking that ANALYZE.FILE might help determine both the Minimum modulo needed as well as the group size needed to properly cater for the data, but now I'm unsure if that is the best approach. My alternative method is to simply count the number of items in the existing file and generate an average item size, then set the MINIMUM.MODULO to the item count and set the RECORD.SIZE to the average item size and let UV's Dynamic file magic do it's work. I have come u

I'm looking for some information regarding the use of CALLC. Particularly if my source code will need to include the jsystem.h and where I should store the .so / source code on the system (or setup a path so a jbase program can call it). The old zumasys docs aren't quite enough and I couldn't find anything in the Rocket documentation. If anyone has experience using CALLC I'd appreciate the assistance.------------------------------Derek BandouveresProgrammer------------------------------

hello everybody, I post this question, do you have results ANALYZE.SHM -s on uv/windows 11.3... ?  we checked on different servers and found that the values are always 0. do we have a configuration or rights problem? any help is welcome! with kind regards ------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

Edit - can't reply for some reason. I am on UD 8 myself but they are on 7.3 with no upgrade coming anytime soon, so wholefile is out. File has gone all the way down to zero records several times and we're still at ~2M modulo. I have come to the conclusion that merging isn't a thing dynamic files do on this release, so am working this problem from another angle. These files don't have an optimal config, they've got a bunch of random stuff flowing through them. Unidata 7.3.7 Windows I need help understanding merging and dynamic files.   I have a file that I think should be merging, but it never does. Disk space is not a concern, I just need to get the modulo down to something reasonable. Normal state for this file is a low recordcount, but periodic updates push huge amounts of data to it temporarily. Converting it to static or changing it to a DIR-type file are both not options. (Yes, this situation isn't ideal. No, I don't have control over it.) From Jonathan Smith's excellent

Hi, thanks to all your help, my customer wishes to proceed and purchase some licenses for Accuterm 8 - great,  but I am not getting any response from Rocket at all ! Last time was an email from Stephen Fowler in June - my trial has now run out. Can anyone help please and point me in the correct direction   Kind regards Chris Baxter

Hi everyone, We are currently migrating from mvBase to d3/Windows. According to the online documentation Incremental Backups on d3/Windows are not available, is this still the case?  Are there any plans to implement incremental backups.  We use incrementals on mvBase as part of our daily back up strategy.

1. We were using the HP-UX !uuidgen command to create guids for an integration to Salesforce.com. We have installed an SDK on Windows server to give us the same capability, but we don't know how to execute Windows commands from Unidata (Unibasic). Here is the command we are trying to execute: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\bin\\10.0.22621.0\\x86>uuidgen.exeThe command will generate a guid: 7c6c5a30-7d67-47d1-aa17-72f7b2652db3 2. On HP-UX, we had many processes scheduled to run in a crontab. On the Windows server, we know we can use Scheduled Tasks, but we don't know the syntax to set up these Unidata (Unibasic) scripts/processes. Thanks.

Dear Friends. I have searched the OPENQM manual for the '$ED' command which I have shown below: $ED Created automatically by the ED editor when first required, this file holds pre-stored edit command sequences. The $ED file will be created automatically first time that the .S command is used to save commandsin this file.Multi-line inserts cannot be repeated from a saved command sequence, will cause the .S commandto fail and, if edited into the pre-stored sequence manually, will be cause a warning message to bedisplayed when the command sequence is executed.Alternatively, a user can create a $ED pre-stored item by using the editor:ED $ED item.nameThe first field of the item must contain E as its first character. Subsequent fields each contain oneeditor instruction in the sequence that the user requires the operations to be performed. However, when I try the ED $ED P2  (P2 being the item.name), I get  'FILE NOT FOUND' Any help will be appreciated. I thank you Vish Maharaj----------------

When working between MVIS and the U2 Basic Subroutine, I frequently find the MVIS Admin page timing out. Is there a setting (cm.ini?) to set that timeout to a longer window? Nelson

I have a number of named and unnamed common variables used throughout my programs. I'm getting a common miss-match error on a program with no commons at all. How can I tell what common variables are causing the problem. Is there a way to display named and unnamed common variables active at a given time? I'm sure the code is running a subroutine that may be conflicting with another common, just no way of seeing it from the viewpoint of the program without commons.
