When Unidata is licensed on HP-UX, is there any dependency on the IP address or system name, or could either be changed without impacting Unidata's license?

I received a ticket from a client asking why a phantom job keeps blowing up after an indeterminate amount of time.  The _PH_ logs shows this: In /usr/udthome/sys/CTLG/c/someProgram at line 493 Phantom run basic error, exit 3. Phantom run basic error, exit 3. Line 493 of someProgram is literally this:EXECUTE "a command"So it seems like whatever that command happens to be, the TCL level that is running with the EXECUTE is blowing up for some reason.  Running out of memory seems like a likely choice, but there may be other reasons as well, of course.  The question is, when there's an issue like this, is anything logged anywhere?

Sorry to say I will have a lot of questions as I acclimate back to universe. Here's my latest....04 PORT.STATUSThere are currently 99 uniVerse sessions; 96 interactive, 3 phantomPid.... User name. Who. Port name..... Last command processed............67091 COAT2 21 /dev/pts/17 GRUN203.INPUT [ GRUN203.INPUT @ 0x7FA ]>PORT.STATUS PID 67091Unknown option specified.Why 'unknown option specified'??

HiDoes anyone know when UniVerse will stop being developed for the HP-UX Itanium platform? Can I also ask if anyone knows when the platform will stop being supported (EOS/EOL)?I'm in the process of upgrading a customer to UniVerse 11.3.4 on the Itanium platform and the customer was enquiring about release 12.x. I don't believe there will be any release 12 versions for the HP-UX Itanium platform.I know there was an announcement made regarding the Itanium platform a few years ago but can't find it.Thank you.Kind RegardsFausto Di Donato

We're running Entrinsik's Informer against Unidata 8.2.1 on Redhat 7, and the logs show an error suggesting that we increase the VFIELDSIZE.Their recommendation is to increase it - globally - to 10K, which I'm happy to do.Is there a way to get it to take effect without having to restart Unidata?

Any search I've tried either goes nowhere, or else out somewhere general in RocketSoftware-Wide-Web.

hello folks,On large system running hundreds of users on the same application, very often I am faced with uniBASIC runtime errors in generic subroutines for which I do not have the source codes. Most of the time the problem is due to badly initialized variable by the calling program.The difficulty lies in identifying the calling program, knowing that errlog refers to the subroutine without showing the callstack.Does anyone have any idea how to capture the callstack and determine which program to fix?Here some samples from errlog :  Bad data “14/0/21” for conversion “D2-”. Unconverted data used for selection.​ Program “SB.EVAL.EXP”: Line 276, Variable “$R95” previously undefined. Empty string used Program “SB.GEN.DRIV.I”: Line 548, Nonnumeric data when numeric required. Zero used. Program “SB.EVAL.EXP”: Line 121, Nonnumeric data when numeric required. Zero used

Hi allFirst time posting...Im connecting successfully to universe, using uopy.connect. with the session i can run a command on the server, however every subsequent call to the server calling cmd.run() (please see below) results in the following error:UOError: Error [39207] : Error occurred on server. Possible client-side licensing failure.Note: this only happens  the second time, also calling uopy.connect takes an awfully long time to return, is this normal?My code: session = uopy.connect(**config) cmd = uopy.Command(cpmmandtext) cmd.run() print(cmd.response)​

Hi Folks,First time posting here, but I've been working with UniData for about 5 years now after mostly working with MySQL and Oracle databases.    We get UniData through a VAR, but I'm pretty sure they think I'm crazy so hoping to get some wisdom from the community here.I've got a computed column ADDR.G82.SANITY.CHECK defined asSUBR("CC.G82.ADDRESS.SANITY.CHECK",COUNTRY,STATE,ZIP)The subroutine opens another entity and selects against it to try to match postal code first letter to province and state to ZIP to see if addresses look "sane".If I use the computed column in SELECT criteria with an active list, it fails with wildly wrong results.  However, if I execute a SELECT ADDRESS WITH COUNTRY = 'CN' SAMPLE 1000SAVE.LIST CNADDRGET.LIST CNADDRLIST ADDRESS COUNTRY STATE ZIP WITH ADDR.G82.SANITY.CHECK = 'Y'<<lists 922 correct records>>Trying it with SELECTGET.LIST CNADDRSELECT ADDRESS WITH ADDR.G82.SANITY.CHECK = 'Y'<<returns two records, not 922>>Th

Just started working with the uopy python library. I'm able to connect successfully and run all the basic examples provided with no issues, but as soon as I started to extend it out to run some subroutines I've written, I started getting "Subroutine Error [30107] : The subroutine failed to complete successfully". Not entirely sure what would cause this as the same subroutine runs fine when ran outside of uopy. One thing I did notice is if I remove the READV statement within the subroutine, I do not receive this error. Below is the test subroutine I have been using.Any help greatly appreciated. SUBROUTINE (USER,JSON) $INCLUDE UNIVERSE.INCLUDE UDO.H READV USER.NAME FROM INIFILE,USER,3 ELSE NAME = '' STATUS = UDOCreate(UDO_OBJECT, testObj) STATUS = UDOSetProperty(testObj, "userName", USER.NAME) STATUS = UDOWrite(testObj, UDOFORMAT_JSON, TEST) STATUS = UDOFree(testObj) JSON = TEST RETURN​

What's the procedure for Rocket with keeping up with maintenance on Zumasys products?  We had Z maintenance on AccuTerm - as did many of our customers - and those will be coming due soon.

Newbie here.  My name is Glenn and I have primarily worked with standard relational databases.  I have been tasked with extracting the table data from a UniVerse database into a set of CSV files.  I wish I could explain why, but management just gave me this directive, no reason or other details.  I know others in our IT group need to migrate a Windows Server 2003 installation to Win Server 2016 because the data from our StreetSmarts application - contained in the UniVerse DB - needs to still be available after the server migration.  I understand a MVDB doesn't have tables like a relational database, but instead has "files" that contain the data.  I am hoping some of you can give me guidance on how I can extract the file data into CSV files so I can consider this task completed and let management do with it what they will.  Thank you so much for any help you can give me as I don't even understand how I can see the file data or what structure exists for

HiI'm migrating Universe to a new Windows Server. When I perform an UPDATE.ACCOUNT command (to update the account to the installed version of Universe) i'm getting an error 'Unable to write item RELLEVEL" - doing this as admin, and windows permissions has write priv. What have I missed?

Our company uses 2 UniData accounts, one for production (/ud/PRODUCTION) and the other for testing new features (/ud/TEST). Is there a way to configure UniData's python implementation so that it gives preference to python packages based on what account a user is in? For example, I might have a production version of a python file (usefultool.py) with a callable function in it called 'dothistask'.   def dothistask(): print('I did it') return 'useful value' and in a uniBasic program, I could access this function by running VALUE = PyCallFunction('usefultool','dothistask') This package is located in /ud/PRODUCTION/PP. But I want to add a feature or function to this package, but don't want to affect production implementation. So I add this python file to /ud/TEST/PP. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to make each account prefer one directory over another when importing a function, so operations in the TEST account continue to favor the package version present in the produ

Hi allI'm doing a simple test using uopy to write some data to the 'UP' file. with uopy.connect(host=...', user='...', password='...', account='...', encoding='cp1252', service=uopy.UV_SERVICE, port=31438) as session: codigo_subrutina = [ "SUBROUTINE PRUEBA.ENV(XINPUT,XOUTPUT)", "*", "* Programa Universe de prueba. Test tildes: á, é, í, ó, ú.", "*", " XOUTPUT=""Salida del programa""", "RETURN"] nombre_subrutina = 'PRUEBA.ENV' with uopy.File('UP') as up_file: up_file.write('PRUEBA.ENV', DynArray(codigo_subrutina)) print(up_file.status)​ I'm getting the value -2 in up_file.status.What does this mean? Is there some documentation about this status values?

Does anyone know a linux or Unidata command to see what account each user is currently logged into?Thanks!

I have a need to track some statistics with Web Services operations.  The U2 programs that run under the covers all call a subroutine that picks up some control file flags, so it seems like that would be the place to log the stats (one program change covers all 22 operations)I do not want to impact the responsiveness of the web services any more than necessary.  I see the following choices: hard code the stats update logic in the shared control flag pickup subroutine call a new external subroutine that actually does the stats update find a way to call the external subroutine and keep going while the external subroutine continues until it has finished updating the appropriate stats (kind of call and release).  Unfortunately, I do not see such a command in U2 Basic (not CALL, EXECUTE, PERFORM or CHAIN). If anyone can offer some real world advice or suggestions, I would appreciate it.Nelson

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.

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?

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 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.

Hi Everyone,I have encountered some unexpected behavior using the SPLICE function.  I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm missing.I'm on UniVerse 11.1.9 (yeah, i know it's old) running on Linux. Consider the following code. ARRAY1 = 'ONE' ARRAY2 = CHAR(246):CHAR(247):CHAR(248):CHAR(249):CHAR(250) CRT CRT 'System Delimiters' CRT 'CHAR(251) = ':CHAR(251) CRT 'CHAR(252) = ':CHAR(252) CRT 'CHAR(253) = ':CHAR(253) CRT 'CHAR(254) = ':CHAR(254) CRT 'CHAR(255) = ':CHAR(255) CRT CRT 'ARRAY1 = ':ARRAY1 CRT 'ARRAY2 = ':ARRAY2 CRT CRT 'Expected = ONE:':ARRAY2 CRT 'Actual = ':SPLICE(ARRAY1, ':', ARRAY2)​ Here is a screenshot of the output.Notice all the colon (":") characters.  Notice also that char(247) seems to have been changed to char(255).What is going on here?
