Rocket MultiValue

My name is Amey Rokde, and I'm a senior software engineer and architect at Rocket in the Pune office.  In this MVU session we covered how to use Kubernetes with the Rocket® MultiValue Integration Server (MVIS) to develop, maintain, and manage your UniVerse and UniData apps (D3 support coming soon). Kubernetes is an open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services.  Code samples available here: https://github.com/MultiValue-University/MVIS-Kubernetes   Note: The video playlist below can be accessed using the menu at the upper right of the frame.

Thank you for the quick response. The reason I posted to the forums is that Rocket Support has had this issue for several months and the issue appears to have grown cold with them. This stoppage happens at least once a week so I am trying everything possible to resolve this as soon as possible.On Mon, Feb 1, 2021, 2:47 AM Jonathan Smith via Rocket Software <Mail@forum.rocketsoftware.com> wrote: Kevin, A upl_unlock error occurs when UniData cannot free a resource from it's lock table, it can be a toggle / latch, record lock, file lock or...

If you have become used to stopping PHANTOM processes by killing them or editing a controlling record in a file, there is a much more elegant method available using the often under-recognised method of process locks.For example, if we choose lock 1 to signify that a job is already running and lock 2 to instruct a job to terminate, then the code below can be used to ensure that one - and only one - instance of the PHANTOM is permitted to run at any one time:* Sample code snippet:- PHANTOM job start ** Set the PHANTOM job name *PHANTOM_JOB='WEEKLY_INVOICES_EMEA' ** Designate the locks to be used for this handshake * RUNNING_LOCK=1 ; * the lock number used by the PHANTOM when it is running * * check if the PHANTOM is running by attempting to set the process lock * that it would own if it were already running. * LOCK RUNNING_LOCK THEN * * The controlled job is not running - OK to start it * first release the lock we just set to check if it was already running. * UNLOCK RUNNING_LOCK * * now

We have converted a number of our files from 32-bit to 64-bit over that last couple of years. Typically, that has been done when we have a write issue and react to the specific problem. Does anyone have a dictionary or programmatic means of identifying the two type of file so that we can target conversion proactively?Once the files are identified, they can certainly be resized to 64-bit via a script.------------------------------Jeff TeterWoodforest National Bank------------------------------

Hello there, I need your expert advise please. I am using Universe 11.2.5. I have a report with 83 columns. For each transaction, some of the columns might have a data more than 1000 characters. I try to limit to a maximum of 1000 characters per column . I use the following command:      FOR X = 1 TO 83              IF LEN(COL<X>)  >  1000  THEN                      PRT.RECORD :=  "," : COL<X>[1,1000] This LEN command did not work. in the PRT.RECORD, the content from COL<X>[1,1000] was more than 1000 characters. I also tried the LEFT command.      PRT.RECORD := "," : LEFT(COL<X>,1000) This LEFT command did not work as well. in the PRT.RECORD, the content from LEFT(COL<X>,1000) was more than 1000 characters. Is there any other command to be used for setting a maximum character. Your advise would be most appreciated. Cheers------------------------------Yossy TanAnalyst / ProgrammerToyota Tsusho South Pacific Holdinh------------------------------

I am trying to clarify the upgrade process as some of the documentation I have read some documentation that says to do a fresh install with new drives and that the installer will wipe out existing partitions.  I have read other bits that indicate that you can upgrade with data in place.  I would like to upgrade with data in place (with a good backup of course) but before I destroy something I just want to be sure.  Any success stories appreciated.

pip is the package installer for Python. You can use pip to install packages from the Python Package Index and other indexes.  pip is required when installing MVIS and we have seen many questions on installing pip when it appears that the Python installation on a system did not include pip.The installation of pip for Python is not obvious and can lead to many questions or support cases to address the installation.  Below is a link to a tech note available in the customer portal to assist in installing Pip to get you started in MVIS:RCP Link: Installing Pip for PythonLet us know if there are any questions about the MVIS installation or the Python/Pip installation.------------------------------Andrew ClayTechnical Support Engineer IIRocket Software------------------------------

Within SystemBuilder there is a process we can use to transfer group security restrictions from one group to another, though this process is little known it has been in the product since before version 6.  We get questions on this topic from customers looking for an easy way to transfer group restrictions within SB and SB/XA but find using the SB security API cumbersome or inefficient.The process in SB is called RESTRICT.COPY and it has not been documented, we have created a tech note on the process to demonstrate a quick and simple solution to transferring restrictions from one group to another.RCP Link: Group Restrictions TransferAttached is the content of this tech note, users may find this useful when managing large systems requiring a number of SB security groups.------------------------------Andrew ClayTechnical Support Engineer IIIRocket Software------------------------------
