Rocket® U2 | UniVerse & UniData®

We're currently on UniVerse 12.1.1 and RHEL 7. As RHEL 7 is EOL - we'll need to upgrade to 8, and then update UniVerse to 12.2.1.2002 The team who will conduct the OS upgrade have asked if UniVerse will support a Leapp upgrade, and if UniVerse will support RHEL 8.6 specifically. Has anyone else been through this process? I only see mention of the major versions of RHEL in the support matrix, I'm assuming that it will work on 8.6 but it'd be great to get some confirmation!------------------------------Matthew WrightAnalystTomago Aluminium Co PTY Ltd.Tomago NSW AU------------------------------

It has become unacceptable to expect or enforce the need for a manual authorization at the end of installation or upgrade. With the  latest release of UniVerse we have also published a tech note article that covers a  Python script to Automatically License / Authorise / Authorize UniVerse and UniData. Search our knowledge for 'How-to-Automatically-Licence-Authorise-UniVerse-and-UniData' or article number '000054994'. Any updates I make to the script between releases will be done via the technote. I hope you find it useful. ------------------------------Jonathan Smith UniData ATSRocket Support------------------------------

Good day, I am using Unidata 8.2 and building a web frontend to a Unidata application. What I'm trying to figure out is a good method for detecting console message such as Unassigned variables or Unopened file variables during the process. Yes, the messages are being displayed in the COMO, however so is a lot of other information, and I don't want to parse the COMO for console messages. I do want to report the messages back up to the user. Is there an EASY way to detect/trap those console messages? Some SYSTEM variable I can check?  Thank you for your time, Dan Duffek ------------------------------Daniel DuffekSoftware EngineerRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Trying to use some XML functionality and the doc's aren't very useful. But this is my first attempt trying to deal with XML on UniVerse and in general. The purpose is pretty straightforward, take XML feeds, break them down and write them to a UniVerse File. I started with writing a small program in BASIC to try to get familiar with the syntax and flow and utilize the XML functions available to me instead of creating my own parser. Getting unexplained error, basically having to do with the xml_handle or handler ? I'll attach results as well as the test file. I then tried to mimic the program below and get farther along, but not getting any data. A couple of points: 1) I've only mapped the first 4 items of the XML file and created those 4 items in the DICT (out of 25) Thanks for any assistance.....Plus, how/when is the data written to the UniVerse file. Is this where I process and write my own records after the READ (where I'm stalling now) ? Al Zyle ------------------------------Al Z

It seems that whenever I reboot my Windows PC, the Unidata database 8.2 and the Unidata 8.2 Telnet services are both 'disabled'. I use CCleaner and McAfee anti virus. Could it be that one of these is doing it. Or perhaps something else. Anyone got a clue on this one?

New to this so please bear with me... I am trying to use 'submitrequest' for the first time to pull contact from a URL. Below is what I have thus far but it doesn't appear to be working. Does anyone have experience doing this? If I manually use the URL in a browser, it works. When i try in a program, it doesn't. 001: URL = "https://trison-dev.myxcarrier.com/ECSAPI/Labels/275926435770.txt"002: HTTP.STATUS=''003: TIME.OUT='3000'004: RESP.DATA=""005: RESP.HEADER = ""006:007: RESP = createRequest(URL,'GET',HTTP.HANDLER)008: CRT "Reponse to create request = ":RESP009: RESP = submitRequest(HTTP.HANDLER,TIME.OUT,'',RESP.HEADER,RESP.DATA,HTTP.STATUS)010: CRT RESP011: CRT "HTTP.STATUS - ":HTTP.STATUS I ran the test and received the following: :TEST.HTTPSReponse to create request = 00HTTP.STATUS - 400ýBad Request

Hi, Is there anyone successfully monitoring pool users. That is using the LISTUSER command or any other utility. I can see in LISTUSER the USRTYPE column displays pooled but which account is it connecting to.

Hi All, I'm trying to get an EDA setup for one of the files in an account. However, whenever I try to open the dictionary in the EDA, it freezes and then crashes after 10 or so minutes. I've upped the memory allocation to the eclipse.ini to 4G as before it would give me a HEAP error. I'm not sure what else to do to troubleshoot this. I'm using the latest version of the DBTools package. Thanks, Mark------------------------------Mark JohnsonData EngineerRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Hello,   I'm freshly exposed to UniVerse and would like connect to an instance running on my network (using UOPY).  Looking though the online API Documentation at uopy,  I am unable to find details on the parameters for the MV configuration (uopy.config) . The documentation assumes familiarity with UniVerse and its typical settings. Is there a document that covers configuration of connections over the network?  I continue to receive general error when connecting: ...ckages\\Python311\\site-packages\\uopy\\_session.py", line 319, in connect     raise UOError(ErrorCodes.UOE_UNKNOWN_ERROR)  uopy._uoerror.UOError: Error [-1] : Unexpected Error Any help would be appreciated.

We're having an ellusive error calling a BP from Java code. The Java code is this public synchronized String executeBncCommand(String command, UniSession us, String params) throws UniSubroutineException,UniSessionException { try { UniSubroutine uSub = null; uSub = us.subroutine("***ProgramName***", 3); uSub.setArg(0, command); uSub.setArg(1, params); uSub.setArg(2, ""); uSub.call(); return uSub.getArg(2).toString(); } catch (UniSubroutineException | UniSessionException e) { throw e; } } The BASIC lines that are crashing are these ones: * Devuelve el PID del usuario CASE COMANDO='GET.PID' RESPUESTA=XUSR Where XUSR is a variable that contains the PID of the user. The error is: asjava.uniobjects.UniSubroutineException: An argument was requested from the RPC that was of an invalid type.  Looking at the documentation the error code is 81008. The problem is that this call is done several times and

We have a very recent issue I cannot explain.  This just started and will cause us some major headaches.  Here is the example: SELECT ITMMST WITH F1 = "64" F1 is defined as A20, not numeric.  I am getting 3 results: 64, 000064, and 0064.   I can see how a numeric search would give those results, but I am searching a string and need only the exact match in the results.  Any idea why this would start for all users, in all databases... all of a sudden?

Blinks. Our product uses the Universe database with Pick Flavored account running on various Windows OS platforms. What, if anything, can be done to reduce the number of file  blinks that we are seeing? Three causes that we've identified so far are: Power failure, No more disk space, Anti-virus.  Are any UV versions (or Windows versions) more susceptible than others to Blinks? Thanks in advance for your inputs.------------------------------Gil SteidleDEVDDI System Incbrick NJ US------------------------------

Hi all We want to know which users are locking a file. What we do now: 1- Execute LIST.READU. We can get the PID of the session that is locking the file. 2- With this PID we can execute a LISTU command or run a ps BASH command 3- Parse the output so we can pair PIDs and usernames This is quite convoluted, and, also, we have discovered that the LIST.READU output has changed in the newer Universe version (even with the INTERNAL parameter) so we have to keep check of the system version to get the PIDs. Is there a way to ask the system what are the users that are locking a file?------------------------------Héctor CortigueraQuiter Servicios Informaticos SL------------------------------

I needed to extract just the 4-digit year from an invoice file.  I created both an "A" and "D" dictionary item using "DY4" (called ORDER.YEAR) It lists the file perfectly, but when I try to select using ORDER.YEAR it finds nothing:      ex:  SELECT BILLING WITH ORDER.YEAR EQ "2019" 0 record(s) selected to SELECT list #0. Also strange - if I add a "[" OR a "]" OR both, it works?      ex:  SELECT BILLING WITH ORDER.YEAR EQ "[2019"  or               SELECT BILLING WITH ORDER.YEAR EQ "2019]" or               SELECT BILLING WITH ORDER.YEAR EQ "[2019]" My solution was to create an I-discriptor to avoid issues in the future: 0001: I0002: OCONV(@RECORD<29>,"DY4")0003:0004: NYR0005: 4R0006: S0007: My fellow developers and I could not explain this, as it must be a flaw in the back-end. Just curious if this could be explained? Nelson ------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------

I am running Unidata 8.1.2. In one of my accounts if I try to get down to unix or use sftp or scp I get the following message :!suNo permission to escape to shell This used to work everywhere one the server and now it is only in this account that it happens and I am not sure why.  Any thoughts on what I can check?------------------------------L IvebluesRetiredRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

I have a script that we use to verify file integrity across a number of accounts using guide.  A couple things I'd like to add are warnings about file size for 32-bit files (which we can get from udt.errlog but we have no control over when things show up there) and to run guide_ndx on a file to validate indexes.  Also, because guide_ndx has to be run on individual files (it still has to run on individual files, right?) I need some way in Linux to know which files in an account are Unidata files and which files have indexes.   Are there any Linux utilities in Unidata 8 that could give me this kind of detail on a file without starting Unidata?

I have a program that does a bunch of initial stuff, but at the end, writes a JSON (text) file to a UniData DIR file called JSON.ARCHIVE with a date-time stamp.  It then does a chmod on the new file, setting permissions to 666.  Finally, it selects all the records  (files) in JSON.ARCHIVE that are older than 35 days and deletes them, thus it is self-cleaning. For some reason, the writes and deletes have stopped working.  I do not get an error, and the delete counter increments, but when I LIST JSON.ARCHIVE, my new record is not there and the old ones were not deleted. Permissions on the Linux dir are drwxrwxrwx, and all the files within are -rw-rw-rw-. For argument's sake, we have three accounts: DEV, PILOT and LIVE.  The programs are all the same and had not been compiled since I rolled the programs out.  It still works in DEV but no longer in PILOT or LIVE.  To be sure, I re-compiled DEV - it still worked.  I copied the working program from DEV

Is there any configuration in Unidata that can be adjusted for when a file starts emitting these messages into the udt.errlog?  Seems I've seen this start to appear at different times, but I've never seen a configuration option for it.

My Universe 11.4.1 system started doing this today. If I'm in a running program and hit Ctl-C I get the break option menu. If I select "D" I get this: Break: Option (A,C,L,Q,D,?) =DAbnormal termination of UniVerse.Fault type is 11.  Layer type is BASIC run machine.Fault occurred in BASIC program GET.PY.FILE at address 8 It happens with every program. If I start the program with RAID instead of RUN it works. It wasn't doing this yesterday and I've rebooted the system but that didn't affect it. Does anyone have any idea where to look to fix it?------------------------------Joe GoldthwaiteConsultantPhoenix AZ US------------------------------

I am stepping through code and to avoid long subroutine calls, I do a  "BLnnnn"  in the BASIC Debugger where nnnn is a line after the subroutine call I want to 'blip through' -- more often than not now, the BL command is met with a minidump: I have altered the code a little to avoid anything proprietary -- but this is the gist... I did not want to step into the subroutine at line 1031. SO ... I reasonably put in BL1032 which should catch me right after the routine comes back: But instead..... .L [1024]        SOMETHING<2>    = COMPANY.NO:@VM:INVOICE.NO [1025]        SOMETHING<2,-1> = INTERNAL.USER.ID:@VM:"":@VM:"1" [1026]        SOMETHING<8> = BATCH.NO ; SOMETHING<9> = "POST" (1027)        IF DEBUG.FLAG THEN [1028]          IF ( DO.A.DEBUG ) THEN SOMETHING<1,-1> = "$VDEBUG" [1029]          PRINT "Calling routine to DETERMINE.OUTPUT.DEVICE ..."

Hi I have a script that connects to my Unidata database and executes some commands. The script was working ok with UOPY 1.3.0 and Python 3.8. I just updated to Python 3.12, and I cannot connect anymore. I keep getting Error [81009] : The RPC failed I started to trace back, and I found the following: Python 3.8 -> Works Python 3.9 -> Works Python 3.10 -> Not Working Python 3.11 -> Not Working Python 3.12 -> Not Working I couldn't find the official version of Python that UOPY supports, so I wondered if 3.9 is the one. Any ideas?  Regards

Had some code doing strange things.  This is the example:      IF VAR1 = "UNKNOWN" THEN *   CALL SEND.EMAIL(ORDER.NO)   do other things      There was no END statement.  My best guess was that U2 considered the "*" at the end as a NULL and allowed it to compile. Does anyone know? We changed it to be the following to solve the problem.      IF VAR1 = "UNKNOWN" THEN       CALL SEND.EMAIL(ORDER.NO)       END   do other things      ------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------

Have you upgraded to either 11.4 or 12.2?  A while back I went from 11.3 to 12.1.  (In our case, we were motivated to jump because we were running on an old version of Windows server  that our system admins wanted to upgrade &, iirc, our version of 11.3 wasn't authorized for where they wanted to go.) We've had some I/O problems with 12.1 & it looks like Rocket is not really maintaining 12.1 with hot-fixes or enhancements & instead encouraged us to go to 12.2.    But now I see there is an 11.4.  And rumor has it there may be at least 1 more 12.1 I/O bug that hasn't been fixed yet in 12.2. We aren't really using any new 12.x functionality, & other than having to tweak some admin utilities that rely on things like LIST.READU which has changed,  I think we could go 'back' to 11.4 if that is a more stable release. The general question for people who are still on 11.3 is whether/why they should jump to 12.2 or 11.4?  TIA Chuck Stevenson ------------------------------Chuck S
