Rocket MultiValue

MV Madness saw MultiValue users from across the globe come together to test their skills and knowledge, but in the end there were just five players who took the championship. Congratulations to @Brian Egan for scoring the most points in the finals, with a score of 40 out of 44 (91%). Four additional players scored 38/44, or 86%. They are @Nic Davidson, @Nik Kesic, @Bob Ruiz and @Henry Unger. In addition to Rocket Pajama pants won by qualifying for the finals, each winner also receives a $100 gift card. I'll be in touch shortly with winners to arrange for all that, and qualifiers can expect to see their Rocket PJs on their doorstep in a couple weeks. Thanks again to everyone who participated and let us know what other events you'd like to see us sponsor.------------------------------Dave AndrewsHead of Customer EngagementRocket Software------------------------------

I am building an ODM/ORM for my system in Python. With the intent of making my queries and writes into UV more pythonic and easier to code (I am VERY lazy). For me this is primarily allowing read and writes to and from UV with a Python dictionary leveraging the readnamedfields() and writenamedfield() within the u2py.File class. While I have a specific issue below, I think there is room for a general discussion around u2Py error handling. My specific issue lies in getting "u2py.U2Error: (3) unknown " back in my trace. I am getting this error back when trying to write data to a record I have open in editor (so the file is locked). While I would expect to get an error here, I would also expect that error to be a little more descriptive of what the issue is. I have a couple questions that should hopefully give me a good path forward here...1. Are there plans to improve the u2Py module's error handling in the near term future? 2. Does the (3) in my error mean/represent anything? (I could pa

Does anyone have any experience using KAFKA with a U2 environment to support "streaming" of data?------------------------------jeff steinmetzguitar center------------------------------

Hi all,I'm posting the answers to the mvBase and D3 sections of the quiz here. Note that SurveyMonkey doesn't make it easy to share this so you have to scroll through many pages of information just to see the right answers. A lot of the stats are just plain wrong, so focus in on the table at the bottom of each page/question. The green check mark shows the right answer while the table and chart above show the distribution of responses.Thanks again to all who played, and let me know how we can make your future experiences as a forum member even better, whether it be more events like this, specific 'how-to' content, people you want to hear from, etc.Dave ------------------------------Dave AndrewsHead of Customer EngagementRocket Software------------------------------

Yesterday I was using the Unformat and Format all command from the menu. I had used the command "KEY(" and the formatting did not know to indent on the command. Is there a way to add the command "KEY" and have it indent on it?------------------------------Mark LaursenOwner/DeveloperComplete Computing Inc------------------------------

Hi. Brian Cram here on behalf of @Tim Rude and myself. On March 30th and 31st Tim and I are going to be taking you on a complete tutorial on Hot Backup and Safe Snapshotting for D3/Unix. This will include five videos: 1) Safe Snapshotting of D3/Unix, 2) Doing a Small Save/Restore, 3) Hot Backup Configuration, 4) Hot Backup Monitoring and Debugging,  and 5) Resynchronizing Hot Backup."Small Save/Restore? What is that?" you may ask. It's a simple technique that streamlines the save and restore process. Curious? Cool! Here's a sneak peak at the Small Save/Restore process: See you on the 30th or 31st. Bring your friends.------------------------------Brian S. CramSenior Technical Support EngineerRocket Software------------------------------
