Hi everyone, Does anyone know how to make the "Universe Telnet Service" that runs on our IBS Application server, to only use 128bitblock Ciphers, and disable the other lower 64bit block ciphers? The service listens on port 992. The problem is that our Qualys VUN scanning tool is picking up that port 992 is a security risk againstBirthday attacks against TLS ciphers with 64bit block size vulnerability (Sweet32) and goes on to say"Disable and stop using DES, 3DES, IDEA or RC2 ciphers.  We believe that the "Universe Telnet Service" uses OpenSSL that offers out these lower level ciphers, but we have no idea how to to best address this sothat the only ciphers used are 128-bit or higher ciphers. We are waiting on our third party support to get back to us as they have opened a ticket today. Current version of OpenSSL is OpenSSL 1.0.2m-fips  2 Nov 2017, though "Programs and Features" is saying OpenSSL 1.1.1k (64-bit) was installed on March 2021. Universe is 12.1.1 is installed. Thanks in advan

I have a program that creates a Wintegrate pop-up window. Within this window, among other things, I place a picture in a specific location. Currently, the x/y coordinates used to place the picture are based solely on the window it’s self.Problem: the picture seems to move around if I resize and/or move the window. Or worse, if I move the program to a different computer.The solution that I am looking for, is a way to determine exactly what are the x/y coordinates of the upper/left corner of the window as compared to the full monitor screen. This would allow me to calculate exactly where I want to place the picture, within the window, no matter the size or location of said window on the monitor.

Hi all,I’ve been looking looking into what is involved in updating UD and UV systems.  The Universe 14.2.1 installation guide has a link for  the  “U2 Product Availability Matrix” -->  https://rbc.rocketsoftware.com/buildmatrix.asp  Unfortunately, this takes me to a dead-end with “This rbc.rocketsoftware.com page can’t be found”.  Where can I find this document?Thank you,Jonathan WellsAptron Corporation

Hi everyone, I’m attempting to install the UniVerse Personal Edition version 14.1.1 on MacOS Tahoe 26.1 on an M1 Macbook. I’m following Rocket’s official PDF (see attachment) on how to do this via a Docker container and using the supporting files from their Github: RocketSoftware/multivalue-containers Because I’m on Apple Silicon, I adjusted the Dockerfile as follows:Replaced the original FROM to force AMD64 emulation since I’m on ARM:FROM --platform=linux/amd64 rockylinux/rockylinux:latestI also added this to fix a permission error that occurs.RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/*uv.sh Now, I consistently hit a segmentation fault in the installer during the init_uvsm step. Below is an excerpt of the output logs where the error occurs after running docker compose up:universe-server  | universe-server  | Starting UniVerse...universe-server  | UVSMM is started.universe-server  | Starting uvsm...universe-server  | /usr/uv/bin/uv.rc: line 562:  3654 Segmentation fault      $uvbin/init_uvsm $init_u

Is there a log of phantom processes and pids anywhere?I have a job scheduler that runs as a phantom and executes jobs from a table at certain times.I’m having an issue in my scheduler where it appears to run the same task multiple timeson a random basis (ie some days it is just fine, other days  I will see that same job runs multiple times instead of once).   I haven’t been able to figure it out and I was hoping that there was a log somewhere that I could look atthat showed what processes have been started as phantoms.On Universe 11.3 

I have an evaluation copy of universe.   I had created a separate account, created a file with a dictionary, and then attempted to create an index.   What I got is below.   Just wondering if there is something else to be set up, or a permissions issue, or if the evaluation copy doesn’t allow it.   Thank you.>CREATE.INDEX MASTER.TABLE FIELD1 NO.NULLSAttempt to create index directory "C:/U2/UV/RICKDEV/I_MASTER.TABLE" failed.>.L RELLEVEL     RELLEVEL001 X002 11.4.1003 PICK004 PICK.FORMAT005 11.4.1 This is a windows version.

Hi!I’ve started to tinker with the Universe database of my company using uopy that allows me to run basic commands from a remote server.Is there a book or a formation to learn this basic?Asking AI I’ve been able to list the data of a file, but I would like to filter it by date.

Trying to build and index and getting this error:04 BUILD-INDEX LOTIndex name:  SER#Locking 'LOT' file for exclusive use.Index file "INDEX.004" for key "SER#" is locked.  Aborting.File 'LOT' Unlocked. How can I unlock that index so  I can build it?

Creating a purge program.  First make a past on a stat file that has cust# and date to select appropriate records to purge into a “to purge” array (INSERT “AR”).Then, read through main file, using a locate on the array to determine if it was one selected.  If so, delete it.Issue is that the main file are from 1-5 records whose IDs begin with the cust#.  This file does not have a date to be used for purging.  The main file has almost 5M records.  The “to purge” array has 50k-150k cust#s in it.  The first pass to create the array from the stat file only takes 30 seconds even with 3M+ records.  However, reading through the main file, using a LOCATE (“AR”) is really slow.I would think that locating in the array would be faster than doing one pass on the main file and doing 4M+ reads on the stat file.   So, I was wondering if anyone had a better idea that would speed up the process.Universe v11.3.1.6022 running on AIX 7.2

Hello, it is me again fighting UOPY.  I need to push a big file, and after multiple testing, I found that I could not push a file bigger than 128K. The process hangs there forever. Is this a Unidata limitation or a UOPY limitation? Is there a way to change this limit? Here is my code: def pushFile(dname,fname):   f = open(dname+'/'+fname,'rb')   lines = f.read()   f.close()   print('done reading')   # print(lines)   udfile = uopy.File(dname,session=_session)   udfile.write(fname,lines)   udfile.close()   print("file uploaded") Any help is greatly appreciated.------------------------------Alejandro GarciaSoftware Engineer ManagerF W Davison and Company Inc.

Hello all!I’m adding variable data type protection to a subroutine label in a program I’m working on. However, I’m experiencing unexpected behavior when using the `DESCRINFO` function.Here is an example:* Set up some stuff here...IF RUN.MODE = "AUDIT" THEN EQUATE NUM.REPORTS TO 10 DIM REPORT.COUNTS(NUM.REPORTS) MAT REPORT.COUNTS = 0 GOSUB PREPARE.UTILITY.REPORTSENDLOOP * Do stuff here...UNTIL IS.DONE * Do other stuff here, maybe write to a report...REPEATIF RUN.MODE = "AUDIT" THEN GOSUB CLOSE.UTILITY.REPORTSEND* Other code here...STOPPREPARE.UTILITY.REPORTS: * Prepare reports, calling SETPTR and HEADING/FOOTING... RETURN; * Internal CLOSE.UTILITY.REPORTS: * HERE LIES MY ISSUE; THIS RETURNS 1 (INTEGER) BECAUSE OF THE 'MAT' ABOVE IF DESCRINFO(1, REPORT.COUNTS) # 5 THEN RETURN END * Close reports, print 'no data found' message if count = 0... RETURN; * Internal* Some other subroutines here...END; *ProgramHere is another example, simplified:DIM ARR.1(10)D

Hello! I’m relatively new to UniVerse and Multi-valued databases, so my experience with BASIC is limited.I was writing a program with subroutine calls that I wanted to abstract via ‘@<var>’. This program had a “create output file data line” subroutine and a “finalize output file” subroutine. When I wrote these local subroutines (explicitly defined, not subroutine labels), I encountered an error where, when calling with ‘@’, only the first locally-defined subroutine would be found; the other subroutine would cause a runtime error, unable to be located. It was not found locally, and so the object database file (.O) was being searched, instead.For example:* ...IS.DONE = @FALSE* Main loopLOOP READNEXT FILE.NAME ELSE IS.DONE = @TRUE ENDUNTIL IS.DONE * ... OUPUT.FILE = "" PREPARE.DATA.SUBR = "" FINALIZE.FILE.SUBR = "" * case 1 BEGIN CASE CASE FILE.TYPE = TYPE.1 PREPARE.DATA.SUBR = "DO.SOMETHING.1" FINALIZE.FILE.SUBR = "END.FILE.1" CASE FILE.TYPE = TYP

Is there a limit to the value length in a select statement?When I run:   SELECT OP.MANIFESTED.HIST WITH TRACK.NBR = "420015859261290986498138210077"I get multiple rows back with TRACK.NBR different from above. For example:420015859261290986498136795170420015859261290986498151260165420015859261290986498151221500Is there a limit to how many characters it’s comparing in the select value?Other explanations?I removed the indexes off a copy of the file and I still get the same result, so it’s not a bad index issue.
