Rocket® U2 | UniVerse & UniData®

I have had a problem for years that when my UniVerse Basic program was attempting to create a security context record, it would create the 1st one just fine and then hang up trying to crate another one.  With the help of Rocket's Brian Kupzyk, we finally found the problem.There is a file in the account named ".bscrfile" that the saveSecurityContext writes to.  Protocol logging showed it was unable to open it, so the save left a lingering RD lock behind (even when breaking out of the program).After increasing the Unix permissions to 660 and setting user & group appropriately, the problem disappeared!Brian has generated a low priority engineering ticket UNV-31674 so Rocket may eventually fix this.In the meantime, this is the workaround for those of you who use SC's who may encounter this problem.Nelson------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH United States------------------------------

Very simple... UV Basic calls a Python function with a simple print() statement.  However the python print() statement doesn't print.  Much obliged in advance for any insight.

Hi UvFriends,Do you known if a upgrade of u2client.net (u2netdk) upgrade to support .Net Core is available ?At least the Core Uniobject ?have a good day.

Currently, I can list the last 60 commands.Can this be adjusted?------------------------------Shawn WaldieRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Hi,I'm on UniVerse 11.1.9 running on Linux.  My question is about the CallHTTP function, submitRequest().  I'm using code like the below to communicate with an external web service. result = createRequest(PROXY.URL,http_method,request_handle) IF result # 0 THEN ERRORS<-1> = 'createRequest() failed with return code ':result; GO FATAL.ERROR result = setRequestHeader(request_handle,"Content-Type","application/json") IF result # 0 THEN ERRORS<-1> = 'setRequestHeader() failed with return code ':result; GO FATAL.ERROR result = submitRequest(request_handle,30000,post_data,response_headers,response_data,http_status)​ It seems that when the http_method passed to createRequest() is DELETE, then submitRequest() ignores the post_data passed to it.  That is to say the value of post_data is not included in the body of the request.Can any confirm if this is expected behavior?

Good morning everyone;We are getting ready to do a request for qualifications and I'm not sure where to get started.  I am reaching out to this group since the project is to maintain and program our Unidata software through Rocket Dynamic Connect.  I have been the Accounting Manager and only know a bit about the technicalities of the software, all I know is that the software works, I just need help to maintain it and make changes as needed, create reports and perform routine maintenance to prevent issues with the system.Is anyone aware of a sample RFQ that I can use to send out to potential consultants.  We are currently working with a two employee company and we are growing much faster than they can keep up with us.  We are a water district and use Unidata for everything, currently using 11 modules (Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Backflow, Utility Billing, Fixed Assets, General Ledger, Inventory, Purchasing, Payroll, Assessors Database and Valve Maintenance).I'm not sure if th

Seems so simple but, i'm trying to get ones exact age, on any given day, using their internal birthday. If I do the obvious, subtract internal birthdate from current date and divide by 36525, I get the accurate year but months and days comes out as a fraction of a year...Anyone have an easy calc for this?Thanks------------------------------Kathleen HambrickPROGRAMMERWilliam C Earhart Co IncPortland OR United States------------------------------

Hello group! I should know this but it's not working for me. I'm trying to execute a API curl command from my Unidata Unibasic flavor running HP/UX system.

I am having an issue I am hoping a bright mind around here can help me with. It seems that something in the Python interpreter is not cleaning up after itself after importing the NumPy library. In reality I was trying to use Pandas, but after some trial and error I think I have identified NumPy as the culprit. Replicating this is easy, after installing NumPy:From TCL:PYTHONimport numpyquit()PYTHONimport numpyWill crash every time. Same results from running the code from a python file. Having the ability to use NumPy would really enable some great functionality in UV and I would really like to get this working. Is anyone else having a similar issue?------------------------------Nic DavidsonCombined Transport------------------------------

Has anyone received these errors in Unidata before?  unfree buffer in  merginmem.c at 697 unfree buffer in fl_delrec.c at 1341These are repeated over an over again during our pre-check process. Ran guide on the main files and they are clean. There are another 36 files opened in the process. Should we run guide on those files?I isolated it to a call to a common routine used in all of our batch update programs which returns a batch number . If I take it out, the program works, if I add another call a debug routine, it also works. But if I call the debug routine and not the batch number routine, it does not work.Thanks

Hi LappiesI have forwarded your issue to the rocket support forum …Good dayOn Universe version 11.2.3 and earlier we had the following logic and it was working 100%.We used the following command to determine if a record is already locked by another user. Using STATUS() Command to return the Pid no of the user.[cid:CEF4CCDB-76B0-4B51-8D5B-471EA671DAF5]In the example below, I locked a record from another session. The command above returned the record was locked by Pid 3116.From the LISTU command we can then determine the user “SUPPORT” is locking the record.PS! Please note that the PID no in LISTU and the USERNO in LIST.READU is exactly the same. 3116[cid:8EE0A9E9-BC93-40E5-A61E-542BB9AD41CD]The problem we have now is that we have found this code does not to work the same on the UV releases after 11.2.3I am testing this on UV 11.3.1I locked a record , then ran my program (Image 1) and it returned PORT = 2.From the LISTU below you can see there is no PID 2 , but when doing a LIST.READU th

Modernization. You probably see this word all the time. I'm curious, what does it mean to you? Specifically, what does modernization mean for your business-critical application that is built on a MultiValue platform. Your organization has invested in your business-critical MultiValue-based applications over the course of years and maybe decades. How do you ensure those applications can adapt and grow alongside your organization for continued return on investment for years to come? If you're focused on increasing productivity, are you looking at development tools and modern programming languages that are easy to use, efficient, and address the skills gap? If you're focused on simplifying integration, are you interested in lightweight, zero-install client applications with Open APIs? Is speed to market at the top of your list, including implementing continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), cloud (on-premises or hybrid cloud deployment and containerization)? If you're not focu

Hi everybody,I am playing with a Raspberry Pi device and I would like to install an older version of UV, something like 11.3.1 or 11.2.x.Is anybody knows a way to get a 'Personal Edition' of one of them?I did tried with the current 'Trial' we can get on the Rocket page, but I am facing problems with the install, that I would skip with an 'older' version (ie: issues with cpio and acl).Thanks a lot!------------------------------Alex MRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Phrases like @UQ and @LPTR are great but is there any version of Unidata where one can build a phrase and use it as if it were a field?  For example, if I had a phrase like this:001 PH002 WITH SUCCESS = "0" NAME AMOUNTAnd I called it BAD, could I say: LIST filename BAD ​and have it expand the phrase where the phrase name is?------------------------------Kevin KingPresidentPrecision Solutions, Inc.Longmont CO United States------------------------------

Hi all,We have a problem with the spooler counter, once a month we make the Data Base Maintenance, before we start we use the MASTER OFF ALL to close all the sesions of universe in the server, sometimes when we do that , the spooler counter loose the consecutive and jump to a bigger number.What we can do to avoid this?Thanks for your ideas.Jose Luis Gutiérrez de la Peza

All,Running UniVerse 11.3.1 on Redhat.I have been using the data conversion OCONV(DATE(),"DYMD[4'',2'',2]" then the 4'' (2-single quotes) and 2'' (2-single quotes) provides the date in YYYYMMDD without dashed or slashes.  Works great.The BASIC Manual Page 533 shows MT [H] [P] [Z] [S] [c] [[f1, f2, f3]]. I've tried different variations of "MTS''[2,2,2]" (S'' is two single quotes). Is there a way to convert a time into HHMMSS without using a second function to strip away the ':'s.Jon

I periodically get a capture error when attempting to perform an execute in a phantom background process.Unable to create capture file.[EMFILE] Too many open filesThe next transaction just a little while later in the same phantom process  performs the same execute operation without errors. Is this error related to an overall system limit or is it  specific to a user/process?I am wondering if if it happening more often than I know as it might not be recorded in a user session.I am running Universe version 11.1.3  (Yes, I know it is time to upgrade).Is there something I can monitor or adjust to fix this issue?As a fallback, I am planning to change the executed statement to a subroutine call. Do you think this would fix this error?All insight into this error condition would be helpful.

I am extracting incremental data from production files to be tarred up and ftped to another physical site.  I have created small type 18 "work" files for each one of these and want them to be as small as possible to conserve on disk space and ftp time.  After they are transported to the other physical site, they would be used to update the master file(s) via a COPY command, which I would not think would be greatly impacted by a tightly compacted file.I have been using HASH-AID and ANALYZE-FILE to see what each chosen group distribution looks like, but am not sure what I am shooting for.  When we analyze files for production usage, I strive to keep the group distribution skewed to the left (25%, 50%) buckets.  Since this need is purely size related, should I be looking for the modulo that skews heavily towards the right (200%) without hitting the "full" bucket?I shall appreciate any feedback.Nelson------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3 Completeshop LLC------------------

Today we are publishing a new case study detailing how Eurotunnel is using MVIS and U2 Python to modernize their MV-based reservation system. Geoff Bishop and team faced challenges related to adopting modern web development, integrating with third parties and attracting new development talent. Eurotunnel, a long time MultiValue customer, fully developed their reservation system using UniVerse, Web DE and other MV tools.  With the business objective of preserving and building on their investment, MVIS and Python presented them with a great opportunity to modernize by continuing to trust  Rocket and MultiValue technology.
