Hi Harold, Glad to hear it might be useful to you.
There are a bunch of videos available on the U2 DevZone (https://u2devzone.rocketsoftware.com/accelerate/) that could be useful to you; particularly under the 'U2 DataVu Query' section which is immediately under the DataVu 2.0 videos. Let me know if they did help. If not, we can work out what's missing and make sure it is covered! Cheers, Dan McGrath U2 Product Manager Rocket Software 4600 S.

Rocket's free data viewer? I think this is a tool my users might like, if I can only get it to work! But I can't get past a seemingly beginning point... I have created a repository. I can now define a new U2 data source. After entering the server name, Universe login and password, testing that the connection is good, I am then able to pick an account as the data source (The list shown surely comes from the UV.ACCOUNT file). Fine. Seemingly the data source is now defined, call it MyDataSource. The 'repositories' view shows this tree: [-] MyRepository [-] U2 Data Sources [-] MyDataSource [+] Files Now, if I click on the [+] next to Files, I expect it to expand with the available files making use of the VOC file to know what these are. But it simply flashes 'pending' for about 1/2 a second and becomes 'Files' with no [-] or [+] next to it. What step am I missing? Does there need to be some special VOC record created in the account? I am thinking perhaps the JDBC drivers are not known to DataVu, and that is the problem. The documentation states that "U2 DataVu does not include JDBC drivers", however it states that one can import the JDBC library settings file. To do this, it says, one clicks on File -> Import -> Connection and JDBC Library Settings, etc. However! After clicking on File, there is no "Import" selection available at all in the drop down. (I just hate it when the documentation doesn't match the product!). Has anyone gotten past these issues? Does anyone actually use this product? I might mention that I am also looking at the Web Services product from Rocket. After specifying an account and clicking on "Database Files" it instantly displays all the available files in the account. Which is good.
