All of my requests being sent via RESTful API that previously worked have recently been receiving a 429 HTTP status code indicating too many requests have been sent to the API.I'm getting the following response:{"ErrorTitle" : "Error 429 - Too Many Requests","ErrorMessage" : "Session limit has been reached. Please try again later."}The error is a general HTTP message, not specific to the product.How do I mitigate this obstacle? What is the admin configuration setting in the Enterprise Server to extend the session limit and relax the rate-limiting?The Retry-After header is an HTTP response header that informs the client how long it should wait before making another request is commonly used in scenarios where the server cannot process the request immediately, such as rate-limiting or scheduled downtime. I do not want any of the rate-limiting or scheduled downtime that I’m currently experiencing.

We are attempting to submit a JCL job to our local enterprise solution server via the ESMAC JES control API and are receiving a response with code 400 and message stating “No Origin of Referer header present.” How do we configure the server to allow access control from all origins?

I have some data held in a field which I am painting on a DSP. Currently the field is set to statictext, but if I make the surrounding structure (div etc) have a fixed width, the field contents overflow it. I want to set them to wrap inside the width. However, the STATICTEXT field type translates to SPAN, and SPAN does not follow width or word-wrap, what DSP field type can I use doe display only text which follows the wordwrap stuff. I tried making the field ‘ATTRIBUTESONLY’ but then the text is not displayed (the ‘static text’ from the HTS is shown instead...) Regards, Iain 

Hi,I am posting this question on behalf of a customer, to ensure it goes to the relevant forum and a place they they can see the post. Once I post this I'll share the link with the customer and ask to reply/comment here also.They ask:Does somebody know how to translate the following C#-Lambda-Command to Visual Cobol ?Example (the second last line):private void FlexGrid_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){string conn = Util.GetConnectionString();var ds = new DataSet();string[] tables = "Customers, Orders".Split(',');foreach (string tableName in tables){Util.FillTable(ds, tableName, conn);}// Defining relation between master and detail gridds.Relations.Add("Customers_Orders",ds.Tables["Customers"].Columns["CustomerID"],ds.Tables["Orders"].Columns["CustomerID"]);flexGrid.DataSource = ds;flexGrid.DataMember = "Customers";flexGrid.RowDetailProvider = (g, r) => new C1FlexGridRowDetail();flexGrid.AreRowDetailsFrozen = false;}}They have used the C# to COBOL convertor website but the code that

Does anyone on the forum, have any information concerning Rocket U2 Application Developer Certification for new developers. This would include coursework, exams, etc. I have not been able to find anything on Rocket’s site concerning that topic.   Thank you in advance.

One user has a PC with larger monitors that run at high resolution and when they run a Jwalk client in Full Screen mode it is not proportionally scale. Instead you end up with a relatively small area for the IBM i interface (approx 30%) and a vary large boarder (the remaining 70%)Is there a setting I can adjust to change this to improved the way the Jwalk client scales?We are using Jwalk v42c9 as a locally installed client, with a copy of all the panels stored with it on a Windows 11 PC.  Any advice would be much appreciated.Steve BThe Friendly Techie

I have successfully downloaded Visual COBOL. Reading the pdf, I find it talks about which versions of Visual Studio are supported. I think the doc may be somewhat outdated since it doesn’t talk about .NET 8 or Visual Studio Community 2022 edition. The first recommended topic to view is 8 years old, so I don’t think it applies. I am withholding installation until I know it will work with my system.

Hi trying to find who to reach to and see how to buy 1 or 2 licenses of this legacy MF NetExpress 5.1 tool. Can you point me to who I need to get in touch to find pricing and possibility of buying. thanks

Hi,I develop solutions using SB+ and there are some common variables which are imported into just about every BASIC program that I have. Some examples are;       $INCLUDE DMSKELCODE COMMON      $INCLUDE DMSKELCODE STANDARD.EQU Can someone please tell me why my "INCLUDES" configuration is not working? COMMON Variables such as RECORD, WORK, CNT, USERDATA() etc are not detected and I get Errors in VSCODE such as;"Referenced undefined variable: RECORD" Please see below a redacted version of my configuration. I believe the key parts of the configuration, namely the ACCOUNTS and INCLUDEMAPPINGS are configured correctly. { "version": "1.0", // If you want to connet to a U2 server, you need configure the settings in "db" section. // If left these settings empty, you still can use most of the features. If so, // when try to connect to a U2 server, you need input these values in VS Code pop up input box. // For more information, p

We currently have a native COBOL application that uses dynamic SQL (via OpenESQL) to fetch, insert and update into Microsoft SQL.This includes varbinary(max) columns which we have working and I suspect it was based on the demo which was available from this link https://community.rocketsoftware.com/rocket-visual-cobol-28/demo-using-the-varbinary-max-column-type-from-cobol-4560. Unfortunately the link to the actual demo is no longer available.I now have the fun and games of trying to convert this logic to .NET core Visual COBOL and I am really struggling to work out how to ‘stitch’ the 65k blocks back together into the correct format and would really appreciate some guidance on this (the same goes for splitting it into the 65k blocks to insert/update).Is there any chance for the demo mentioned to be converted into .NET Core VC so that I can refer to it and work out what I need to do?Thanks in advance 

We have a cash register program that prints directly to a receipt printer via LPT1.One of our customers do not have their printer setup that way, and it was working for them for years, and then all of a sudden, it stopped.  Here is what the customer has said about their setup in our support ticket: “These are IP-based Star sp712 printers that are designed to be plugged into the network (not a USB or LPT port).  Initially, we had the receipts printing and the cash drawer opening but there is something wonky in the cash register app related to if a user has the option for printer selection enabled.  Once a user with that option tries to print it boogers up the computer for all users in that when they attempt to print, it will open the drawer but not actually print.  Meanwhile, we can use a legit program like notepad or Word and it prints and opens the drawer properly.We went to another PC not at the counter and got that to work and also confirmed on both that it wasn't a windows user per

Hi! I am currently testing Visual COBOL 11 against my software, and when I run a program that has Database Connectors in them, I get a 9D,25 error on all the SQL tables that are in the program.Copilot tells me that the 9D,25 means the XFD is corrupt, but I re-created the XFDs and I am still getting the error. I re-created the Aculock DB, and made sure that my ACUFH file is pointing to the correct folder, and I have a valid license.  Is there anything else I can look at? 

Rocket has an Enterprise Analyzer Certified Professional - L4XX training course. The start of the course has a hands-on lab for installing a demo workspace. Task 2 step 5 is to “Add sources manually”; the screenshot in step 7 shows this being done from C:\EA Sources\BankDemo\sources, but as far as I can tell, this is not installed with Enterprise Analyzer. (There are some demo files it puts in every workspace but not the full demo.So where is someone taking the class supposed to get the demo files?The training videos several time to go to the “attachment tab”. There is no attachment tab in the training site, as far as I can find. Nor anywhere else with downloads.I happen to have a .zip file with what I think you need, but only due to another case I had with Rocket.My question is: Where is someone taking the class supposed to get the demo sources from? Is this something that was lost in the migration from Open Text to Rocket?

Hello Team,Currently we have Enterprise developer already available in the system , I am trying to integrate VS Code using Rocket COBOL extension to do a BRD documentation using the Co-pilot features. We have two copybooks extension ,one with CPY and another COPYCOB. The intelisense is  able to identify the CPY copybooks but not the COPYCOB eventhough the extensions are mapped. Is there possibility to re-use the XML files of MFED for the integration of VS code.ThanksSanoop

Hi,I have found that the EXIT PARAGRAPH doesn’t work in .NET COBOL. Is this an error or is it deliberate, and if it is deliberate then is there an alternative?Thanks in advance

The search (specific and AI) functions on the docs webpage appears to be broken, no results are returned even when very specific request are made, and the Uniface product is explicitly selected. Any idea when it’s coming back? Is there any locally installed resource a programmer can fall back on when the web is busted? Regards, Iain

Hi,Is there any documentation around that cross references the OO COBOL objects to help me identify what I need to use in .NET COBOL as replacements? For example: characterarray = stringAt this point I have no specifics but any help would be gratefully received.Thanks in advance 

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.

Anyone ran into the following? And knows a solution?Environment:Uniface 10.4.02.58 on Windows 10 and RedHat 9.4 Linux Character set for I/O ($DEF_CHARSET: - Windows: CP1252 (default) - Linux: LATIN1 (default)Oracle Database 19c, NLS_CHARACTERSET defined as WE8ISO8859P15; this is supposed to be ISO 8859-15 including £ and € GBP pound sign £ stored in a database table or returned in the text of a Stored Package is displayed in Uniface (both Windows GUI and Linux CHUI) as #. Setting $DEF_CHARSET on the client(s) and userver to UTF8 helps, but has a negative side effect on tables with column LONG RAW, such as PRATT. 

I patched to patch 026 a couple of days ago and my colleagues and I have noticed it no longer responds to Ctrl-F or Ctrl-H in the proc editor, and find and replace now require the right click menu.  This is continually catching me out, and I and winding up typing search strings into proc because Ctrl-F has not brought up the find window.  How do I get the shortcuts back? Is is an ini setting now gone missing or something else?  Regards,  Iain------------------------------Iain SharpHead of Technical ServicesJonas Metals Software LimitedSheffield GB------------------------------

What's the latest plugin for use with RDi 9.8.0.6 and Aldon 10.4?  I'm running 8.2.800.  Also, how do I update? Thanks

Do we have a version of U2 Toolkit for .NET Developer with U2.Data.Client that supports any .NET 6 or preferably .NET 8 applications? I'm struggling to find information on it.

After performing an upgrade from UniVerse 12.1 to 12.2.1 - we receive the message "Your VOC is out of date. Update to current release (Y/N)?" on the initial LOGTO on each account.

I've been working with a friend on setting up a website that uses the U2 RESTful server.  My friend's been doing most of the work. It's been in development but there's a lot of things working. We named the rest server "rest_test". That's not a name that works for production so I'd like to rename it. The problem is, if I right-click on the server in the U2 REST Servers panel the rename function is disabled. I've tried copying the folder to a different name, exporting and importing it. No combination of steps has worked. I also don't like the number of steps you have to go through to "deploy" a rest server.  Export the file to a zip, unzip it, go to the u2restdeploy folder run the batch file to start the deploy tool, define where you want the files to be deployed to...  This is not a good model if you've got multiple developers making local changes that need to be moved to the server. So here are my questions: How do you rename a rest server? Are there easier ways to go d

Does Rocket have any future plans for a uvnet comparable for uniData?
