Rocket® U2 | UniVerse & UniData®

I read in an earlier post that someone had created an ANTLR file for BASIC or C. Do you still have the file? I am new to ANTLR but would like to create a parser for users entering at least BASIC code.  Thanks!

I've created the U2 Python program, which is  with the Universe. My current challenge is figuring out how to seamlessly integrate U2 Python (Universe) with Django. Could you please provide guidance or steps on how to achieve this integration?------------------------------Gnanaseelan gnanapirakasamSSERocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

We are pleased to announce the release of MultiValue Performance Experience v 1.9.0.1516 on January 25, 2024.  This is the third MVX: Performance release focused on improving replication as part of a MultiValue HA/DR strategy.  We've added replication charts to provide you with more insights into the replication status and latency of your MV databases. You can now see four different charts showing you the subscriber latency trend, the estimated time to catch up, and the distribution of replication data for all groups or a selected group. This is a big improvement over using XAdmin, where you had to do the mental math to understand the estimated time to catch up. You can also use the Graphical Range drop-down menu in MVX: Performance to select a time range for viewing the data trends. Two of the replication charts now support aggregated group data, which means you can see the combined data for multiple groups in one chart. This can help you compare and contrast the replication performan

Has anyone had success using Git as a source control platform for UV accounts?  We're looking to do true source control (ex. developer branches merging changes into the main branch) and not just copy/pasting say BP's with changes using a simple folder structure. Thanks Steve------------------------------Steven SmithSoftware DeveloperRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

We would like to put a UniVerse account (all files, VOC, BP, CUSTOMER...) under source control, we use GIT currently for other software projects. Has anyone been able to successfully do this? Our strategy in our development account was to convert all files into folders (type 19). But the VOC file and Dictionary files (I-types) have problems with being a folder.  Is there a way to elegantly put all files in a UniVerse account under GIT source control management? Or are we just beating our heads against a wall? The closest we've come to success is when we created "mirrored" files for the VOC and Dictionaries that were folders and used light-weight triggers to update them when the production (hashed) files were updated. That worked fine and GIT saw changes in those mirror files. But we then ran into an issue with the GIT and the .gitinclude file configuration. We only want to the show changes in our mirrored files. GIT was adamant about showing differences in all files even the hashes fil

I'm attempting to adjust the pitch to 12 characters per inch so the invoice number (green box) will fit within the designated column: However, the output is not affected, and the HP printer just passes the code through as if it is text to be printed (yellow box). I'm using the following code with the intention of every subsequent print statement resulting in text that is 12 chars/in. X.ESC = CHAR(27)X.PCL.COMMAND = X.ESC:"(s12H"PRINT X.PCL.COMMAND Does anything need to be enabled on the printer (hp4350) for PCL commands to take effect? The printer in question will generate a PCL font list so I think that confirms the required software is present. Also, does every print statement have to include the escape sequence or can it just be invoked once and remain in effect until the page/job is finished? It's been 10+ years since I messed with this (at another site), but I don't recall having any trouble with it.------------------------------Shawn Waldieenterprise application developerRocket

We are seeing UniVerse (v11.3.1) write failures (on Windows 2019 64-bit server) when we repeatedly update a record. Here's the code we use to create this scenario: OPEN '', 'CF' TO FILE.CF ELSE STOP ID = 'TEST' FOR I = 1 TO 1000 READ REC FROM FILE.CF, ID ELSE REC = '' REC<-1> = I:' Iteration'  WRITE REC ON FILE.CF, ID NEXT I END The write failures will occur at random passes through the for/next loop. This particular file is type 19, but we also see failures on hashed files as well. Is there a UniVerse or Windows tunable setting that would help us out? Any other thoughts? ------------------------------Gil SteidleDEVDDI System Incbrick NJ US------------------------------

Hi all I'm trying to make sense of the encoding of strings coming and going between Basic and Python. Our Universe database stores its data using OEM encoding, so to pass data to Python we do a series of transformations inside Basic to convert them to UTF-8. Now I want to pass this OEM strings, as they are, directly into Python and do the conversion there, but I'm having some trouble. ALL.CHAR.STR='' ALL.CHAR.STR=ALL.CHAR.STR:CHAR(1):CHAR(2):CHAR(3):CHAR(4):CHAR(5):CHAR(6):CHAR(7):CHAR(8):CHAR(9):CHAR(10):CHAR(11):CHAR(12):CHAR(13):CHAR(14):CHAR(15) * rest of characters... ALL.CHAR.STR=ALL.CHAR.STR:CHAR(241):CHAR(242):CHAR(243):CHAR(244):CHAR(245):CHAR(246):CHAR(247):CHAR(248):CHAR(249):CHAR(250):CHAR(251):CHAR(252):CHAR(253):CHAR(254):CHAR(255) RESPUESTA=PyCallFunction('encoding_test','test_encoding', ALL.CHAR.STR) On the Python side I'm doing this def test_encoding(universe_str: str) -> str: for c in universe_str: print(f'{ord(c)}') return 'OK' This prints t

Other than using the LIST.INDEX command to see if an Index build is required, are there any other tools available to determine if an Index is in-sync with the data file? We are getting false negative results using LIST.INDEX.  Example:  SELECT CUSTOMER WITH NAME = "SMITH" 1 record selected Then if we try: SELECT CUSTOMER WITH NAME = "SMITH" NO.INDEX 3 records selected If we rebuild the INDEX then the Select will return 3 records SELECT CUSTOMER WITH NAME = "SMITH" 3 records selected  Also, what would cause the Index to become out-of-sync with the data file, and how can we prevent this from happening? ------------------------------Gil SteidleDEVDDI System Incbrick NJ US------------------------------

The dual terminal debugging feature seems to have stopped working correctly. I am on Windows 11 running Unidata 8.2.3. I used to use this feature heavily when debugging character base screens. Without duel terminal, that task is very difficult.

We recently got an email from our security team regarding an ODBC vulnerability notice sent out from Microsoft. We are not currently using ODBC directly with UniVerse but it's probably still in use by our guys doing SQL. Just curious if anyone else has had to deal with this and if there are any results that may help others in the group. The two vulnerabilities are listed below: VUL0014881 - TEN-175440, Security Updates for Microsoft SQL Server OLE DB Driver (April 2023) VUL0014958 - TEN-175440, Security Updates for Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver (April 2023) Thanks!------------------------------Jeff TeterWoodforest National BankThe Woodlands, TX------------------------------

Hey all,First time posting so I hope I'm in the correct area. Please correct me if I'm wrong.With the recent dropping of OpenSSL 1.1.1 support, I'm wondering if there has been communications from Rocket Software to support OpenSSL 3 for UniData 8.2.4. This is going to be a huge pain-point for our organization and are trying to prevent issues stemming from this if at all possible.From reading about OpenSSL 1.1 vs OpenSSL 3, there is a possibility of applications that use 1.1 to work with 3.0, but there's no guarantee. Backwards compatibility is limited. Another question because I'm curious: has anyone implemented openssl 3 for UniData 8.2.4 and, if so, were there any issues?Thanks,Brandon------------------------------Brandon BunchERP Solutions Specialist IIRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Looking for a way to locate the proper attribute in an output record where the appropriate data could end up on different attributes depending on conte Example,  I 1st need to differentiate the type of record, which can be done with something like :    IF INDEX(@ID,"WoJournal",1) THEN <acttion1> else if INDEX(@ID,"PoJournal",1) THEN <action2> ELSE <action3> 2nd, each action will need to find the proper attribute where the "STATUS" is logged. Then it will need to extract the STATUS itself from the line which can use FIELD statements.

Hi all. I'm using the inspect module to extract information about our code. The code runs well in the Python console but when called from Universe Basic I'm getting a Python runtime error. The Python side is really simple. I've reduced my code to a minimal example that reproduces it: File: leer_documentacion_min.py This is the module that does the inspection import inspect import json import sys def parameter_as_string(name, p): def_value = f' = {p.default}' if (not type(p.default) == type(inspect._empty)) else '' typ_annot = f':{p.annotation.__name__}' if (p.annotation.__name__ != '_empty') else '' return f'{name}{typ_annot}{def_value}' def leer_documentacion_y_funciones(script): try: if script in sys.modules: sys.modules.pop(script) modulo = __import__(script) # rest of the code documentacion = modulo.__doc__ if modulo.__doc__ else 'Sin documentacion.' funciones = inspect.getmembers(modulo, inspect.isfunction)

All, I was wondering... I have worked at many large UniVerse/UniData customers in my career. Some companies do a great job of certain facets of IT. I was thinking about contacting them to see if they would be open the a site visit. I realized that there could be proprietary secrets exposed during the site visit. After all I would not want to show someone around without some assurances that what they saw would be in essence 'What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas'. Do you think there would be a way to display the best attributes of your IT shop without giving away the goods? What are the best practices that we can share with one another? ------------------------------Jon KristoffersonPick ProgrammerSnap-on Credit LLCLibertyville IL US------------------------------

Good morning.  I am a contractor and have been working in multi-value systems since February of 1980.  I have two customers in the Nashville area for whom I have worked for over twenty years.  Both of them look at me and recognize that I'm an old man and their only support for their systems.  Each is a local government department.  For one I have provided reservation/registration and for the other a highway department management system.  My highway department, to cover their future, is considering a vastly inferior system from the University of Tennessee.  I would like to find someone to back me up in providing maintenance and additional development for their UniVerse on Centos 8 system.  All the code is in basic with some AccuTerm getting integrated and all code is resident on both customers servers.  The highway department includes equipment scheduled maintenance, road job and requests management and costing, purchasing and inventory control.  If there is anyone out there who would c
