Rocket MultiValue

MV folks, We have a GUI client that runs only in Windows to access our MV/Universe application - and am looking for input from other MV community members on Windows functionality / partition / whatever on a Mac for some users at a new customer.

I have installed the DBTOOLS BASIC DEVELOPER TOOL KIT but I am having issues. Here is some info and a couple of issues I am having and would like some suggestions or advice on what to do next or what I may have done wrong.  We went through the install steps and see these were installed. The BDT launches but fails to update the subroutines. I set permissions on the folder to /usr/ibm/uv/BP.O to write for everyone but it still fails. When connecting I get the following messages and click OK to update. I have set the permissions to the folder so that everyone has write permissions but still get this error. Since the program launches, I decide to try something simple like opening a program but get this error. The source code does exist in file of the shown in the VOC of CK.DATE. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have one user who has severe mouse problems inside a spreadsheet that has been executed from AccuTerm.  If the same spreadsheet is opened from Excel itself or from the file explorer, everything works normally.  The problem is a severe lag in any mouse commands.  If the user clicks on a cell, it is 2 to 5 seconds before the cell that was clicked on becomes selected.  If the user tries to drag a selection in order to select multiple cells, there is also a severe lag. The user is on the latest version of Accuterm I have which is 8.1.2.1137.  The mouse pattern file is identical to what I and other people are using. Has anyone encountered this before?

My customer, UniVerse 13.5, is running on Nashville Metro Government's internal cloud.  The network security is so restrictive that it is difficult to get work done for the customer.  I have requested information from the "mypickcloud" website but have received no response.  Does anyone know if that cloud still exists and if so how to contact them.  If they do not exist does anyone have recomendations on other clouds where UniVerse could reside?  I have looked at AWS website and am buffaloed by the complexity of their options.  I would simply want to move my customer's system and data to a cloud server for day-to-day operations.

After being unsuccessful installing the server side of AccuTerm 8 either from my Cisco VPN connection or from a local to the network workstation, Metro's IT department suggested that I install the AccuTerm client onto the server and try the "install server" step from there.  The results have been pretty much identical.  I have copied some screenshots below.  The process has completed only the establishment of the FTBP directory and the installation of FTPBPINST into that directory.  This leaves me with three questions:  Has anyone been successful in installing the server side of AccuTerm on a windows, (2022) server?  Is the windows server just not possible?  Is there a manual step by step process that I can follow to make this installation?  I sure would appreciate some help. Dale Thanks

I have a customer who is attempting to setup a Fedex machine, connecting it to Unidata to transfer data.  The same ODBC driver works perfectly on another system.  On this system, we get odd errors and I have zero clue how to research them. For example: DataSource.Error: ODBC: ERROR [SICOO] [Rocket U2][U2ODBC][1801668]Error ID:33 Severity: ERROR Facility: DBCAPERR - The UV/ODBC server or the underlyingdatabase do not provide the requested feature.Details:DataSourceKind=OdbcDataSourcePath=dsn=upsodbc This happened when attempting to retrieve data through the 32-bit ODBC connector using a 32-bit Excel.  It was able to authenticate and return a list of table names, but when attempting to view the fields inside of the tables, this was the error.

Hi, one of the fun things to do with source code these days is to put it into version control. VS Code makes that easy. One of the biggest version control repositories is GitHub. However, MV basic languages languish in there as unidentified soup. eg the Rocket multivalue-lab home tab language break-down mentions not a jot of MV basic of any flavour. Linguist is the community project which supplies language syntax and ID for GitHub. Its grammar is very close to VS Code's (and the syntax part of the definitions can be controlled by Rocket corporate). Could it be possible Rocket will, one day soon, provide the Linguist definition for some or all of the MV basic flavours? Cheers.

Is there a document somewhere that lists Unidata limitations?  i.e. longest TCL command line, maximum number of indexes, maximum memory per process, that sort of thing?

I recently upgraded a customer's UniVerse to 11.3.5 and am ready to install a new AccuTerm 8 server account.  I am unable to figure out how to create that ACCUTERM account.  I'm used to Unix and Linux menus to create an account but on winndows I cannot find such a menu or a "CREATE.ACCOUNT" verb in the UV VOC.  I vaugely remember a windows administration program, but can't remember it's name and don't know where to find it.  I tried copying the XDEMO account and entering an ACCUTERM item in the UV.accounts file but that didn't work.  Unless I can get the ACCUTERM account established, I'm afraid the server side of AccuTerm won't work.

I visited a customer office to install Accuterm on their workstations.  On 4 of the 5 workstations I was able to authorize the AccuTerm using an "Administrative User and Password" issued by their IT department.  On the last workstation I ran as administrator, I entered the user and password when prompted, but when I entered the authorization screen the "Authorize AccuTerm" icon was dimmed and I was unable to complete the authorization.  They purchased a 10 user version.  Does this mean that the administrative user issued by IT was not valid for that workstation?  All the actions leading up to that appeared to be normal and identical to the other 4 workstations.

I am on a Universe system and it does not save the TCL command stack from session to session.  How do i turn that on and have it shared for a user over multiple sessions?  Also, what file is the stack saved in?

Hi, In the same version of U2.Data.Client (3.1.1), the string data format I retrive from a database is different, by changing the library from .NET to .NET Framework, using the codepage 850. In this case, in the .NET Framework is correct and with .NET the "special" characters are not shown properly. I'm portuguese and the problem is in the accent words like á, é ç. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue? Best regards, Jose Baptista

Been using basic Wintegrate for a long time. Now, I would like to construct some GUI screens but cannot locate the designer tool. Is is still out there? If so, where can I look? I've already scanned all of the manuals cannot find a reference as to where to find it (i.e. how to start it. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all I'm trying to replicate some legacy code using uopy, but I've found an issue that's hard to solve. This is a LONG process, both server and local side, so timeouts may appear. Using the older UVIC32.dll code we can simply reconnect to a session after it has been closed by the server. But, after health_check returns false to uopy I can't reconnect to the server, and the connect() method is not connecting. Is there a way to do this?

Hi A strange behavior, we have a subr WI.LOG which call another subr GET.PORT which make a simple OCONV(0,'U50BB') U50BB run fine million times a day.  Sometime the session seems 'suspended' and PORT. STATUS LAYER STACK return GET.PORT at 0x000000000 !  After a while, the system continue... I suppose its a lock situation ! Semaphore lock ?  Is someone experience a subr call 'stopped' like this ?  Adress 0x000000 is strange ?  Thanks for any comment.  Manu BASIC run machine GET.PORT 0x00000000 BASIC run machine WI.LOG 0x00000028

We are running SB 5.5.3 and we frequently end up with orphan port assignments in DMSECURITY. We were advised to use the RELEASE.LICENCES process to make the ports in DMSECURITY available. However, it seems that the process is not treating the phantom processes correctly, it determines that these are orphan and releases them. The consequence of this is that when the phantom completed and tries to reschedule itself, it fails. We end up with a shortage of licenses, when we actually have licenses available, the message the users are getting is the following: Has anyone ever experienced this before and if so, how did you deal with it. Upgrading to a newer version of SB is not an option. Thank you. André Guindon

We are running SB on UniData on Linux.  There is a command in SB called LISTU.  It beings back: Port, Pid, Account Name, SB+ User, NT User, Login Date/Time Questions are: 1) Where does it get the Account Name?  I have found this to not be 100% correct, but still want to know. 2) Where does it get the SB+ User?  Again, this is not always correct, so what is it doing?

When setting up a data resource, and mapping dictionary items to the REST interface, seems like I'm only able to map one field at a time that points to a given attribute, in my case it's attribute 0.  We have composite ids, and have multiple dict items that point to attribute 0 with some conversions that pull out what that particular dict item needs.  Problem is that when I try to select say _id (attr 0) and other dict items that point to attr 0, it is deselecting the other dict items when I select a new one.  I'd like to have multiple of these at the same time, but not sure how to do that if it's possible.  In my screen shot, I'd like to select _id, sys_date and sys_time but can't seem to get them all checked at the same time.  Any advice welcome. UPDATE: I was able to get both the sys_date and sys_time working, but it doesn't seem to be running the conversion code and just shows the raw field.  When I run a list in TCL, I get the actual converted date/ti

Hi All, I am trying out the vscode editor with the MVBASIC extension and I am having trouble with the compile command. Accuterm 8.1.0.1132D3Linux 10.3.4 ,  case-insensitive The compile command will only work if most everything is upper-case and the program will run in a case-sensitive mode which is not my choice. Thanks for the help.

We are getting this error when trying to connect to Unidata via a web service: [U2][UCINET-UO][ErrorCode=39129] How do I troubleshoot this error, any leads? André Guindon

Using U2.Data.Clent 3.1.1.1003, I'm receiving this error after the web service has sat for some time.  The Session.Status = 0 and Session.IsActive = true.  I there a way of knowing when the underlying connection has stopped?   U2.Data.Client.UO.UniSubroutineException: ' [U2][UCINET-UO]WIN32 API Error:10053An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.[Rocket U2][UCINET - UNIRPC][ErrorCode=81009] The RPC failed

i have FCService running ok on our almalinux 9.4 server, but i notice its binding to 0.0.0.0 which i'm sure is ideal when your D3 & Flashconnect are running on separate hardware. in our case they're on the same physical box, so i'd prefer if I could get FCService to bind to 127.0.0.1 instead. (like TLLicMgr does) is this possible? can i use something like a bind: command in flashconnect.conf? or maybe the port statement, instead of port 1505 would port 127.0.0.1:1505 work? thanks in advance!

Here is a record sample: The TESTING column is a multi-valued list, and the pipes represent actual SVMs for readability. I'm looking for a function that will return an associated boolean list indicating whether or not either '1400' or '9101' exists in TESTING, so... In this sample, if one is present so is the other, but that's not always the case. So a 1 should be returned if either exists in what is actually a subvalued list. EDIT 1: A subroutine would make this very easy, I know, but I don't have time for the administrative overhead that comes with developing/delivering one to PROD, so I need this to be "idescriptor" language. Also, there will be subsequent processing, based on a SUM() of the Y/N list for each record, which will be compared to DCOUNT(TESTING,@VM). EDIT 2: I think I found a solution. I didn't realize I could use the INDEX function on lists. Though it will require another step or 2 to get the final result, I think it will work.
