Hi

I'm looking for help getting up and running with VS Code against UV.

I did a *little* work on this ages ago and can't remember much.

Does anyone know of, or have, a step-by-step guide to getting my VS Code properly set up against my UV system?

Thanks.

If you have AccuTerm 8, it is already built in. It is basically a matter of invoking VSCODE rather than WED.

VSCODE BP progname

I have found that I need to update the configuration item (in the ACCUTERMCTRL file) to increase the number of items that can be displayed.

Linkar advertise that they allow connection of VS Code to any MV database. Others also have connection mechanisms.

Cheers,

Brian

Hi Philip

As Brian says, the Linkar plugin in VSCode is called MV BASIC Linkar, and it allows you to connect to several MV databases, including Universe.
Take a look at https://kosday.com/mv-basic-linkar-vscode/.
The plugin is totally free, and the only requirement is to have Linkar Server installed.

Thanks

Thanks for the information.

I don't have AccuTerm 8 so that's not an option for me.

I took a look at Linkar. It seems as though I would need to buy the Linkar Server, unless I'm much mistaken. Perhaps Angel could confirm?

I did find the 'MV Basic' extension from Rocket. That started out OK but when I try to use it, I get an error.

I connected to the RestFS server OK, then when I tried to locate a program to edit, I got an error "Cannot destructure property 'type' of 'g' as it is undefined."

Does anyone know what this means and how to workaround/fix it?

Thanks.

Hi Philip: yes, you need to have the Linkar Server installed. You can download it and ask for a evaluation licence in kosday.com. After testing it, you can decide. It costs $62 licence + $19 a year, it is very unexpensive. If you need any help, let us know, we will be very pleased to help you.
