When I joined Rocket Software in 2017 as the MultiValue Tools Senior Product Manager, I had no idea that I would have the chance to collaborate with some our most innovative customers, software developers and the marketing team within Rocket Software, to bring to market a truly new and revolutionary gateway to the MV Application Platform (UniVerse, UniData) – the MultiValue Integration Server (MVIS).  MVIS easily extends core business logic currently hidden within your application, enabling you to build and interface with modern software paradigms. The journey to develop the MultiValue Integration Server was initiated from a desire to m

INTRODUCTION I wanted to share some important insight on the recent UniData 8.2.1 release. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so let me start with these pictures and follow with more technical detail.

On the enhancements side of the house, we focused our efforts on listening to what customers in the field requested through our Lab Services and Customer Experience teams, and brought over enhanced technology from our UniVerse platform to share with our UniData customers.

This is a guest blog post from Ross Reichardt and was previously shared on the Rocket Blog. Well, the wait is over. Not Games of Thrones, as that has come and gone, but I haven't seen the final season yet, so no spoilers please! No, the wait I'm talking about is the wait for the next release of D3 – release 10.3.1. At the recent Business Forum events held in Australia in May, I had the opportunity to present the new release of D3 and show some of the new features. There is quite a lot to talk about too. Here is a broad brush look at what is coming: Better performance mvBase upgrade mvWorkstation Python (yeah!!) In this post, I just want to cover these areas briefly but if you'd like to know more detail about any of these, please send me a message or leave a comment on t

Rooms to Go is an independent furniture retailer, and the largest in the United States. Starting with just three showrooms in 1991, they have grown into an industry powerhouse with more than $2B in annual revenue. As the company matured, so did their business model, and they needed a solution to improve point-of-sale kiosk systems. In 2005, RTG deployed a Windows-based system, moved to a tablet-based retail application in 2012, and UniVerse has been the backbone for their regional distribution system throughout. To learn more about how UniVerse has contributed to Rooms to Go’s success, read the case study.------------------------------Chris RizzaRocket Software------------------------------

Both apps are built with UniData, and hosted in public cloud services, allowing for cost effective scaling and application development.

Hi, Several years ago I was Project manager at a software house running Universe over AIX. I now have need to refresh my memory and so have downloaded the Personal Edition of Universe for Windows.

Does anyone have any documentation on System Builder, and how to get started in building some screens?

We are using Unitrends to backup Universe. We are not the largest Universe client, but we do have 200 users. I am not comfortable with Unitrends and feel we are unfortunately exposed.

Greetings, I’m looking for a place to find info regarding Avante, which is built on SBclient / SB server (6.5.0), which in turn is built on something called Unidata 8.1 , which is running on a RHEL 7.6 VM that we just recently migrated from an HPUX machine… I really have no idea if this is the appropriate place to be asking questions about this… but I figured I’d throw it out here. We have a user base of ~250-300 simultaneous users daily. Since migrating the stack to the RHEL box, we have noticed that anywhere between 3 to 10 or so users are locked out of their Avanté sessions.
