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------------------------------

The results are in and winners will be announced Monday. For now I wanted to share the final questions and answers.We had one overall winner with a score of 91% - 40 of a possible 44 points. We also had 4 participants tied for second place at 38 points, so things worked out perfectly given we have five top prizes.Check back Monday for the winner's names, and of course let me know what kinds of fun or educational content you'd like to see from us in the future. Thanks everyone who played!Regards, Dave​------------------------------Dave AndrewsHead of Customer EngagementRocket Software------------------------------

Environ:  UV 11.2.5 on RHEL7I noticed today that when I run 'LIST.READU'  if the locked item ID is longer than 63 characters I see the following The Item ID is truncated visually at the 63rd character The output does not stop at the end of the page After capturing the output via wIntegrate I noticed that the 64th character is actually a control char (so far I have observed char(3), char(4) and char(14) as the truncating character).I also tested using the unix command 'list_readu', as well as the 'LIST.READU INTERNAL' variation.All produced the same result.So is this normal behaviour for the command when dealing with longer Item ID's?Is this as a result of the lock table truncating the ID, or is it just a reporting problem?Is there any significance to the character value at the 64 position in the ItemID?

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------------------------------

Hi,Thanks for advising that this is now available.   I followed the instructions up to the point of activating & adding the new association, however, when I enter Edit Configuration of Rocket MV BASIC, I get the following error message - "an error (Running the contributed command: 'vscode-rocket.mv.basic.command.editconfig' failed.)"   Also, on the Configuration page, it mentions that "For Windows platforms, you can find configuration files in "C:Usersyourusername.rmvconfig""., however, I don't seem to have that file anywhere on my PC ?   Any suggestions on how to resolve these issues welcome.Thanks,MARY
