Folks-I don't know how many have sought AI assistance with UniData but I'm finding Grok to be a game changer. ChatGPT's knowledge of UniData and UniBasic is rudimentary at best. Its ability to change behavior based on previous errors and corrections is frustratingly non-existent.Not so with Grok. From UniData Administration to UniBasic, its base level knowledge is light-years ahead. It also has the ability to recall previous exchanges, learning as it goes. Finally, I've uploaded the key Guides and Manuals and it will actually spit out Guide and Page number in a response. I am absolutely blown away (and just a little frightened) at how fast this industry is moving.Rich------------------------------Rich LucibellaDirectorRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

As I wrote in another thread I'm connecting to a database using a custom account. The account's path is: /u2/quiter/POSVENTA5 In that path I open a file, for example: /u2/quiter/POSVENTA5/BP/ACCSCR0 Then I try to click on another definition (ACCSCR0) to open it: * Carga datos IF HAY.AUTOFILL=1 THEN CODIGO.ED=XDATO * Lee registro CALL ACCSCR1(MAT XQ,MAT XXQ,XK,XMACRO,MAT XFIELD,XA,XV,XRESUL,MAT ENTR,XSTACK) END ELSE The editor then tries to open the file in /u2/quiter/POSVENTA5/ACCSCR1 instead of /u2/quiter/POSVENTA5/BP/ACCSCR1 so it fails. How can I fix the search path for the editor? Is there a way to do something like this: https://rocketsoftware.github.io/rocket-mvbasic/usage/Catalog/ for online editing? ------------------------------Héctor CortigueraQuiter Servicios Informaticos SL------------------------------

We just upgraded one of our Universe servers to 11.4.1 and i'm trying to set up the MVVS extension in Visual Studio Code to connect to remote Universe. I installed extension Rocket MV basic version 2.7.1 set up db.mvbasic.json with: "db:{       "host": "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",      "userName": "xxxxxx",       "password": "xxxxxx",       "account": "XDEMO",       "dataSource": "UNIVERSE",      "port": 31438 } When I attempt to F1 -> Connect/Disconnect U2 Server,   nothing at all happens.  I see in the extension Runtime Status: Uncaught Errors (11)  Pending response rejected since connection got disposed  Client is not running and can't be stopped.

Hi all I'm trying to connect to our database using the Visual Studio Code extension. I've configured the server data in the JSON file, but it's connecting to a XDEMO account so it's not useful to me. So, the account is XDEMO and it connects to the server in this path: "/usr/uv/XDEMO" In our database, we have several accounts: "POSVENTA5", "GEN4GL", etc. I need to connect to one of this accounts, that are in the path "/u2/quiter/POSVENTA5", etc. How can I do this?------------------------------Héctor CortigueraQuiter Servicios Informaticos SL------------------------------

I have been struggling this for a few days now. This works of course in Terminal. When you right-clock on a program in VSCode, the bottom  two menu items are Catalog and Compile. I have researched this and it would seem several configurations need to be in place.  I do have the ssh configs set up, the BP file in the workspace, but it never finds the file or the program. Does anyone have the steps to rectify this? Thanks in advance,  Roy.

I read through the documentation and compared it to what I am seeing on the system. There is a DEVICES record called OKIDATA.  This has control character definitions and such. In the USER-COLD-START, there is a STARTPTR 0, 0, 0, S13 & STARTPTR 1, 1, 0, S10 and other for the rest. There is also an ASSIGNFQ 1,OKIDATA (C If I do LISTPTR I have several printers, 0, 1, 2, 6 and 7 and all say serial and DEV or PROCESS # is 13, 10, 11, 14 and 9.On the server itself, the OKIDATA printer name is OKI-C711-DCA9AC. How is the OKI-C711-DCA9AC assign to the OKIDATA?  I am thinking it is something to do with a configuration somewhere for the Dev or Process, but not sure what.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.------------------------------Troy DittbernerPresidentNorthstar Data Services IncBrooklyn Park VA US------------------------------

🧠 Jump to Top in Multi-Value Fields – A Simple Trick to Loop Input Have you ever faced the challenge of designing a screen with a fixed number of multi-value lines, and wanted the cursor to jump back to the top once the last line is reached? For a long time, I couldn't find a way to do this. But now I've discovered a simple trick-and I'd like to share it in case someone else has the same need. 🔧 Scenario Imagine you have a screen like this: You want the cursor to jump back to the first line when pressing <Enter> or <Down> on the fourth line. 🛠️ How to Implement It In the Process Before of the MV field, set: (P:@REFRESH = -2) In the Controlling/Dependent Options, press F3 on Control/Dep/Read and enter the following in Process on MV Disp: 4 is the number of maximum MV lines you want. the 1 in /1.1 refers to the StepNo of the field you want to jump back to (in this case, line 1 of field 1). 💬 Final Thought I just wanted to share this idea with the SB community-thanks

Hi sb users, I'll share a vsCode extension to edit Sbparagraph code.  Use a trigger on XXPROCESS to sync P type in a Directory.  Use sftp/sync to have it on the client Edit your code Use a ssh RUN program to sync back, copy into XXPROCESS, regen the process (like f2), run GC. It return ProblemMatcher info.  Capabilities : syntaxe coloris, all sb common vars, all SBExpression, all sbSubrs, Formater (indent), Hover, SignatureHelp. You can provide custom intellisensitems for Hover and Signature Help. I share all my expérience with pleasure.  Manu------------------------------Manu Fernandes------------------------------

I'm fairly new to the UV world, and a coworker installed a trial version of UV and then had to have emergency surgery so the project was placed with me. I'm trying to sset up a uv database, but i can't seem to find or create a proper bp directory file for basic source code, and I can't type in lowercase at all, all myh input gets converted to uppercase. I've tried turning CASE off but it still converts. Can we default to a lowercase easily?

Hi, I need some assistance with my u2 installation of python. UV14.1.1/Windows - python 3.11.1 is installed under c:u2uvpython. I want to install and use a third party python module(s). However, using:  >python -m pip install wonderwords gives me an error ERROR: Exception: ... ImportError: cannot import name 'RequirementInformation' from 'pip._vendor.resolvelib.structs' (c:u2uvpythonLibsite-packagespip_vendor esolvelibstructs.py) How should I resolve that? Should I reinstall something? Also, is it possible to use virtual python environments with the u2 python configuration? It seems I can create them but I'm not sure how to activate it from within UV.  Thanks Stuart

Hi facultative code folding in vscode languages is a good productivity thing but not enabled by default for the Rocket mvbasic extension. It allows you to hide unimportant code in the editor not already hidable because of indentation. The language-configuration.json configuration file allows for a folding region to be added/enabled. This is the json snippet I manually edit into the client and server config files. "folding": { "offSide": true, "markers": { "start": "^\\\\s*!!\\\\s*#region", "end": "^\\\\s*!!\\\\s*#endregion" } } Could we get default folding markers added please. ------------------------------Stuart BoydellAU------------------------------

Hi, Is it possible to connect to MQ using LDAP in Unidata 8.2.4. if not, is there any work around to connect and post messages? We are upgrading our IBM MQ version to 9.3 so we are changing the authentication to LDAP CSP and send username and password for authentication. Is there a way for Unidata to accommodate these changes? Any reference to documentation or any inputs will be greatly appreciated. More simple question should be can we use MQCONNX to connect to MQ in Unidata? Regards, Unidata Enthusiast

Hi All, Is there any way we can sync the publisher and subscriber, we know there is a sync command which is sometimes helpful but doesn't help us when the replication system is DISABLED.------------------------------Shubham NigamRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

As more and more customers are using U2 Replication, they have inquired about how to ensure that our subscriber is synchronized with our publisher and not missing any updates. It is imperative for customers to have trust in the accuracy of the subscriber's database copy. This confidence is essential for relying on it in the event of a failover or for uninterrupted business reporting. This utility offers a continuity check between the publisher and subscriber files for U2 Replication, empowering customers with the confidence they need. The utility and the documentation are available from our knowledge base, by searcing for Article Number 000055107 , or for the description 'U2 Replication File Checker' or using this link https://my.rocketsoftware.com/RocketCommunity/s/article/U2-Replication-File-Checker The utiltly has undergone a closed beta and will initially be maintained by myself and updated via the knowledge base article before making it's way into UV and UD. All feedback is welc

I have a subroutine that is compiled and cataloged. It gets call by some phantom processes. Periodically a phantom process dies because it cannot load the subroutine. What else can prevent universe from loading the subroutine besides not being compiled and cataloged? Update to the original post:  I have found the error for a common size mismatch but I am not sure why because it will run for hours processing many records without an issue.
