Rocket MultiValue

Hi,  I just installed the MV Basic VS Code Extension. I could open a Git folder with Basic programs, connect to the U2 server, and compile!   But I have a problem. The source file is not BP, has another name, and every program I open is recognized as "Plain Text". I have to click on "Plain Text" and then select "Rocket MV Basic" as language.  Is there any place where I should indicate the association to all the programs in the folder?  Regards,  Enrique

HelloI want to use the FORMAT command from TCL for formatting BASIC code.  It works perfectly and formats my code with a margin of 6 spaces and indents of 3 spaces wherever it is needed.From my dim and distant past, I seem to remember being able to specify a different margin and indent, but I can't remember how to do it.There doesn't seem to be any command-line option to do this.  My recollection is that to do what I want, I need to update an item in a file with the required margin and indent (perhaps VOC?).Can anyone help me with this?Thanks.Philip------------------------------Philip EllisRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Has anyone used AD authentication for ODBC connectivity to Unidata/Uniobjects on Redhat?Working on a project to migrate from AIX to Redhat Linux.  AD authentication for users to login via ssh to the server and run the application is working.  But a small subset of the users have ODBC connections from Excel/Access for some critical pieces.  Authenticating with a local account works, but for various reasons the goal is to eliminate local accounts on the server and have everything controlled by AD.  There's an error when connecting via ODBC that is hard to diagnose - I do see some errors in /var/log/messages that look like a process is core dumping, but nothing in the Unidata logs.Anyone doing this successfully and have hints about what made it work?------------------------------Ian McGowanPrincipal ConsultantRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Morning All (South African Time!),I seem to remember Rocket provides an easy way to load the necessary services to enable auto start on reboot - I have limited desire & knowledge to get on First Name terms with systemctl :)I did look through the Installation Guide but didn't find anything there.Any bright ideas appreciated or even pointing me to the documentation I may have missed.CheersTom------------------------------Tom PowerOwnerPower Business SystemsBenoni ZA------------------------------

is there anything that describes the differences between universe and unidata, in particular keywords, and anything related to coding.  I am starting to look at unidata (once I get it setup) and was wondering if there were any documents specific to coding in unidata versus universe (I am going from universe to unidata).I can't imagine there being that much or difference, but I could be totally wrong.  My plan is to get it installed this week-end and then start writing some code in unidata so any advice would be appreciated.I have downloaded the unibasic reference manual as well as a few others as I begin my "experiment" of coding in unidata  (speaking of which is there not a unidata file of all the manuals like there is in universe?  I have been downloading one by one the documents I feel I will need but it would be nice to be able to download 1 file of everything.any simple "gotchas" would be welcome and a document detailing the differences would be AWESOME.  and for now my concentrat

As I've mentioned, I am on Universe, on Linux, using Accuterm. There is a format in these programs I've inherited that looks like this....FPATH='C:\\Users\\kathleenh\\Downloads\\'DOC='2022-Farm-Market-Application.pdf'PRINT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):"<":FPATH:DOC:CHAR(13)Don't really understand it, but don't need to if it works - which it does :)But what I am trying to do right now is move a doc (jpeg, xlsx, word, pdf, whatever) from either a network spot OR a c drive location to another spot within a basic program. I tried using a '<' and then a '>' for the two locations but that didn't work.My question is does anyone know how (or if possible) to use this feature (which I think is Accuterm) to move a file from one location to another?OR......What other functions / tools would work to do this? Obviously the user has to have permission to both files. Since I can do the above command to either the C drive or network drives I imagine access is not the issue or holdup - just my ignorance. I

Hi I'm currently trying to embed unidata commands in C# code - I'm aware of the U2.data.client dll available and have been using it, however the most recent .NET framework that it is recognized in is v4.8 - is there a package i could use in .NET framework v6?Just for a bit of context - I'm trying to build an API in  C# on azure that can access our Unidata accounts and present information in a somewhat rational view, my first steps would be to get some sort of C# API working through an http call.------------------------------Magdelene MuthusamyMissRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Can Unidata do SFTP?  I have written socket language interfaces to SMTP and others.  Is it the same type of interface for SFTP?  I'm having a hard time finding the direct interface commands it needs.  I can connect and get info from the socket but it never asks for User name/Password.Most of the google results point to using WinSCP, but i'd rather do the commands myself.  Anyone been down this path?------------------------------David GreenComputer ProgrammerRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

We have been asked to provide a rough storage estimate for moving a Universe DB to SQL Server.  Any general rules of thumb for estimating storage use on the new platform?  I'm not familiar with Universe, but from what I've been able to gather the record and index storage is very different.  Thank You------------------------------donald TiptonDBARocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

I am running Universe 11.3.4 on RHEL 7.7 using AccuTerm 7.3a as my emulator. When I login normally my backspace works. I need to use root permission for some of my phantoms. At TCL prompt I will SH to Unix level then su to root then uv back to universe. My backspace key quits working.  I can manually fix it by running a PTERM command. Is there away to permanently fix this?Jon CardCombined Transport Inc

cHi AllD3 10.4 on Redhat LinuxCaution: DO NOT change the hostname in /etc/hosts AFTER you have installed D3! Sadly, connections to D3 with subsequently be "refused" - and you'll likely break out in a cold sweat as I did :( (Unless someone can advise me otherwise) Does the "reference" to localhost appear in any config record - which will explain my finding? If not this should be noted (in the manual!)------------------------------Stefano GallottaManaging MemberSimply Red Open SystemsMilnerton ZA------------------------------

Hi, I configured the plugin to connect to my Unidata server, but I keep getting: "Failed to connect account". This is a remote server on my network. Also I'm aware I cannot modify the programs directly on the server. Is there a log that I can check to see what is the problem?  We also have some custom rpc service name, could that be a problem?I just want to be able to access the catalog programs so the GOTO Definition works, same for the include statements.Any help is greatly appreciated.Alejandro

I am working on a SB+ screen app where when I bring up a record, information gets displayed, and then when I immediately press F2, this error (in the subject) is displayed followed by:index: 0 to one dimension matrix is out of range..at which time SB+ aborts to the colon prompt.I've checked my code to see if I'm updating some common variable in an unusual fashion but not finding anything like that.  Can anyone with access to the source please tell me which variable is whacked and what I can do about it?Another oddity, I am pressing F2 while the common variable CNT = 1. However, when inspect ​CNT, it's always 1315 - which is about 22% through the mv's being shown on the screen.  This doesn't happen all the time, but with one specific record I can make it happen EVERY time.  Also, I checked the record for any weird control characters and there are none.  I even removed the mv set of data with CNT = 1315 and CNT is still 1315 when it blows up.  Any input about what variable is whacked wou

I have created a REST service using MVIS, which will "listen" for inbound calls.Can it also be used to send outbound REST calls, or would that require a U2 program to utilize BASIC host subroutines (like createSecureRequest, etc.)  outside of MVIS?

Docker ContainersjBASE is officially Docker certified! With a single command, you can pull down a working jBASE image from the Docker Hub and have your jBASE application up and running in a container. What used to take days can now be accomplished in seconds - it really is that easy.With Docker, you can package every piece of your application and database into lightweight, portable containers that build themselves. If you have ever built a MultiValue environment from the ground up, you know it is a long process. Our Docker images bundle everything you need - from Linux to jBASE - to get your application working with the click of a button.Can you containerize a MultiValue database from one of our competitors? Probably. But chances are good it will still look and act like a monolithic virtual machine. jBASE is the only MultiValue database that can be broken down in the true spirit of containers with your database and application running in separate Docker containers.What is a Container?A

The following changes apply to the Windows installer for jBASE release 5.8: Compiler installation is treated as a prerequisite and is prompted for first. If compiler installation is skipped the user will receive a warning to confirm that this is intentional. After accepting the license agreement, the Microsoft Visual C Runtime is installed, and some temporary files needed by the installer are unpacked. After selecting an installation type (Express or Advanced) and the installation directory (JBCRELEASEDIR), there is a new prompt to select the jBASE Global directory (JBCGLOBALDIR). Beginning with release 5.8.0, all configuration files and some other common files have been moved from JBCRELEASEDIR to JBASEGLOBALDIR. In this way, upgrading to newer jBASE releases is simplified because the configuration information is stored independent of the jBASE release. License keys are no longer entered during installation. Follow instructions included with your license document for entering license
