I have a program that creates a Wintegrate pop-up window. Within this window, among other things, I place a picture in a specific location. Currently, the x/y coordinates used to place the picture are based solely on the window it’s self.Problem: the picture seems to move around if I resize and/or move the window. Or worse, if I move the program to a different computer.The solution that I am looking for, is a way to determine exactly what are the x/y coordinates of the upper/left corner of the window as compared to the full monitor screen. This would allow me to calculate exactly where I want to place the picture, within the window, no matter the size or location of said window on the monitor.

Hi all,I’ve been looking looking into what is involved in updating UD and UV systems.  The Universe 14.2.1 installation guide has a link for  the  “U2 Product Availability Matrix” -->  https://rbc.rocketsoftware.com/buildmatrix.asp  Unfortunately, this takes me to a dead-end with “This rbc.rocketsoftware.com page can’t be found”.  Where can I find this document?Thank you,Jonathan WellsAptron Corporation

Does anyone on the forum, have any information concerning Rocket U2 Application Developer Certification for new developers. This would include coursework, exams, etc. I have not been able to find anything on Rocket’s site concerning that topic.   Thank you in advance.

Is there a log of phantom processes and pids anywhere?I have a job scheduler that runs as a phantom and executes jobs from a table at certain times.I’m having an issue in my scheduler where it appears to run the same task multiple timeson a random basis (ie some days it is just fine, other days  I will see that same job runs multiple times instead of once).   I haven’t been able to figure it out and I was hoping that there was a log somewhere that I could look atthat showed what processes have been started as phantoms.On Universe 11.3 

I have an evaluation copy of universe.   I had created a separate account, created a file with a dictionary, and then attempted to create an index.   What I got is below.   Just wondering if there is something else to be set up, or a permissions issue, or if the evaluation copy doesn’t allow it.   Thank you.>CREATE.INDEX MASTER.TABLE FIELD1 NO.NULLSAttempt to create index directory "C:/U2/UV/RICKDEV/I_MASTER.TABLE" failed.>.L RELLEVEL     RELLEVEL001 X002 11.4.1003 PICK004 PICK.FORMAT005 11.4.1 This is a windows version.

The Rocket® MV team is excited to announce the release of MV BASIC for Visual Studio Code 2.9.1, available on February 5, 2026. This release expands platform support, enhances developer productivity, and delivers meaningful performance improvements—making it easier than ever to build, maintain, and modernize MultiValue BASIC applications, whether you’re working locally or connected to a server.Expanding the Ecosystem with jBASE SupportVersion 2.9.1 marks an important milestone with the introduction of initial jBASE support, bringing MV BASIC for VS Code to an even broader MultiValue audience. jBASE developers can now begin adopting modern VS Code‑based workflows while continuing to work with the languages and platforms they know.The first phase of jBASE support includes:jBASE BASIC keyword and statement highlighting, making code easier to read, navigate, and understand at a glance. Rename symbol support for the same symbol type, helping teams refactor code more confidently and efficien

We have a client that just installed Accuterm 8.0.1015 on both a Windows 11 23H2 OS and a Windows 11 24H2 OS and it appears they have done so correctly. However, when they open Accuterm the icons below the menu are simply showing up as empty blocks but the tooltips do work. Is this a setting or a compatibility issue. 

The proper way to start D3 Linux 10.4 is: systemctl start d3svc We have run into instances where someone is starting is using D3_setup start, which starts it in foreground, not as a service. OK for debugging, but the problem is that if that thread disconnects or is killed, the entire VME crashes. This is much like starting D3 Windows from a command prompt using d3vme /debug, then closing the command prompt.  So please use systemctl instead of other methods.

Please be aware the Rocket MV BASIC extension for VS Code (MVVS) release v2.9.0 has a minimum requirement of JDK v17 and not v11 as suggested in the documentation. If the MVVS v2.9.0 environment has a pre-17 JDK, the extension will fail to start with pop up message:"The Rocket MV BASIC Language Server server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted. See the output for more information."and"Server initialization failed". We will be releasing an update to documentation and product error handling as soon as possible. 

Hi. Below is the version of our product. Are we allowed to use the Rocket MV Basic in the Visual Studio Code to compile the program?Secondly. i try to enter the following infomartion in MV basic,  what is the account name mentioned below  Current Configuration PRODUCT EDITION VERSION QUANTITY OS TYPE OS VERSION SUPPORT   UV SVR 11.2.5 137 HPUXITANIUM 11.31 Active     SBR SVR 5.5.0 137 HPUX ALL Active     SBC SVR 6.6.3 20 WINDOWS 2022 Active    

There is a bug in the MVS Toolkit (or at least we believe it's the Toolkit) where if you use an OpenSSL version higher than 1.1 to generate a .PKCS12 document, it appears to create just fine, but when you install that in the Toolkit, HTTPS does not work. Rocket is working on this problem, but so far we have not been able to identify what or where the problem is. Meanwhile, I suggest that you use OpenSSL v1.1 or lower to generate your keys, certificate requests and certificates. While we're on the subject, I've worked some cases recently where people generated a private key that was not an RSA private key. It needs to be an RSA private key or the world won't like it. If you have any questions about any of this, or if you want some help with certificate generation (or anything else with the Toolkit for that matter), please open a support ticket and I'll jump on it right away and give you a hand.

I know this has been around for a while but we are trying to hook this up now… We are on Unidata 8.2. We’ve been told we need Unidata 8.3 to use VS with Rocket. I am looking to validate that information, or hear that someone on 8.2 does have it working.If we can’t use this - is there another full screen editor we can use on the unidata side?Thank you for the information and your time.

If you’ve ever wanted your development cycles to move faster without compromising quality, you’re in good company. That’s exactly what we set out to achieve with MVIS 2.3.1—and we went even further.This release is all about making your day-to-day easier: less friction for developers, more visibility for admins, and performance that keeps up with your biggest workloads. And yes, we leaned on AI to help us get here—because speed and precision matter. A UI That Works as Hard as You DoWe know how much time gets lost jumping between screens and re-entering the same details. So, we introduced the Develop tab, a single place to handle build and configuration tasks without constant context switching. Dynamic Array definitions? They’re now streamlined—define once and move on. Maintenance for arrays and subroutine services? Simplified, so you spend less time on upkeep and more time delivering value. Admin Visibility Without the GuessworkManaging multiple servers shouldn’t feel like juggling blin

Hi there, Hope you can help :) We are currently running a (very) old version of jBase 3.4 and are experimenting on a test server to migrate our accounts to jBase 6.2.  Could anyone point me in the direction of some documentation for what we would have to do to upgrade our accounts assuming we have jBase 6.2 installed and working on the new server? Many thanks Mike Lankester

Ok,  chasing my tail for a bit on this one.   RC = 5061.10 LL = 5061.1 IF LL = RC THEN CRT "WHY, THEY ARE NOT EQUAL" END They don't match!  why does it drop the 0 on the compare?  What is the correct way to fix. ------------------------------Craig CurtisSystem ProgrammerSevier Valley School DistrictRichfield UT US------------------------------

All,Currently we are extracting out JSON data character by character and saving the data in d3.  That works fine for small records.  But, now we are looking at converting a record with the size of 3,147,865.  Character by character manipulation of a string is very cumbersome.   Is there a JSON to d3 program out there that could handle this or does someone have any ideas?Ted Hurlbut

Hi!I’ve started to tinker with the Universe database of my company using uopy that allows me to run basic commands from a remote server.Is there a book or a formation to learn this basic?Asking AI I’ve been able to list the data of a file, but I would like to filter it by date. What is the formula?Thanks!

Good evening,Is there any plan to release a version for the VSCode extension MVBasic for Mac users that allow Online Editing? Thanks in advance… 

Creating a purge program.  First make a past on a stat file that has cust# and date to select appropriate records to purge into a “to purge” array (INSERT “AR”).Then, read through main file, using a locate on the array to determine if it was one selected.  If so, delete it.Issue is that the main file are from 1-5 records whose IDs begin with the cust#.  This file does not have a date to be used for purging.  The main file has almost 5M records.  The “to purge” array has 50k-150k cust#s in it.  The first pass to create the array from the stat file only takes 30 seconds even with 3M+ records.  However, reading through the main file, using a LOCATE (“AR”) is really slow.I would think that locating in the array would be faster than doing one pass on the main file and doing 4M+ reads on the stat file.   So, I was wondering if anyone had a better idea that would speed up the process.Universe v11.3.1.6022 running on AIX 7.2

Hi, Does anyone have some advise on how to optimise / fine tune MVIS response times on APIs given some latency when using OAuth?When changing the Http Auth type from basic (or even digest) to OAuth, I find my the response times on APIs increases significantly (as expected due to the additional token validation using the JWKS URL).I have response times using basic auth +-50ms going up to +-500ms on Oauth. Any idea if there are ways to cache the tokens on MVIS or other ways to fine tune this? The only solution we have for now is to bump up connection pools to increase capacity which is not that sustainable as we add more APIs to the server going forward. I have also played around with increasing timeouts and other config parameters on server and account level to delay failures on load. Or maybe something to consider for future in MVIS?Im using AzureAD as the Oauth provider. 

Hi,I develop solutions using SB+ and there are some common variables which are imported into just about every BASIC program that I have. Some examples are;       $INCLUDE DMSKELCODE COMMON      $INCLUDE DMSKELCODE STANDARD.EQU Can someone please tell me why my "INCLUDES" configuration is not working? COMMON Variables such as RECORD, WORK, CNT, USERDATA() etc are not detected and I get Errors in VSCODE such as;"Referenced undefined variable: RECORD" Please see below a redacted version of my configuration. I believe the key parts of the configuration, namely the ACCOUNTS and INCLUDEMAPPINGS are configured correctly. { "version": "1.0", // If you want to connet to a U2 server, you need configure the settings in "db" section. // If left these settings empty, you still can use most of the features.
