After restoring OpenEdge Release 10.1C04 database, we got Progress error 395, complaining about the lock file value in admprod, but only through the GUI MfgPro screen (not in character). Progress recommends adding the -nolkctr client parameter, but we were able to resolve this by restarting...

Hello, installed MSW/PSW in QAD SE2009 Progress 10, and the workbenches don't start. When clicked, QAD spins for a second and then nothing happens. Went back over the install (licensing, NETUI packages, schema add, data load, help file load, etc) and everything seems okay, all the other MSW...

YES! Finally figured it out. 1) change the propath in connmgr.[env] 2) go into Connection Manager in [env] and choose Restart Connection Manager 3) enjoy your new propath I was able to replicate this a few times, very confident now. The literature is very misleading, the ubroker.properties...

Thanks, but that's what I tried originally and it didn't work. Maybe I'll try it again though, in case I missed something. We actually rebooted the entire box (for unrelated reasons) and it still didn't pick up the new propath from connmgr or ubroker.properties. Very odd. I think next I might...

So, surprise surprise, changing connmgr back did not change the propath back, even after restarting the broker (I modified a QAD program to display the propath). And it's not using the ubroker.properties propath either -- it's definitely using the old connmgr propath that I successfully changed...

Aha, apparently it IS connmgr. Not sure why it didn't seem to work before, but I have Prod and Test pointing to different code now so good enough,

Well, apparently that wasn't it, and neither were the connmgr/telnet scripts that mfgutil generates. Any ideas? Also checked web-disp.p. The webspeed broker claims to have the test directory at the front when I check it from IE, but it won't actually run anything there. Also tried opening...

Ah, looks like this happens in ubroker.properties in DLC/properties. Will try this tomorrow. qad.com/Documents/TrainingGuides/printondemand/70-2831A.pdf

Hello, I inherited a smallish EB2.1 NETUI 2.81.4.87 Progress 10C setup in which there is currently no test code directory. I want to make the NETUI Test client point to my new test code directories, but I haven't had to deal with this before -- where is the propath set for NETUI clients? Is...

Never mind, found the problem in a screwy setting. Thanks anyway!

Nope, already tried that. No help at all.

Updated licenses for 10.1C on Linux, databases now return this error: Unable to read progress.cfg, reason=-4. (1732) Unable to read progress.cfg, reason=-4. (1732) Unable to read progress.cfg, reason=-4. (1732) Unable to read progress.cfg, reason=-4. (1732) Unable to read progress.cfg...

Rob -- thanks for the response. I agree on -9, but we can't wait to schedule an outage when large numbers of users are already hung and unable to work. It was "kill or restart db now". Promon shows the tx, but says the user is disconnected. VSTs also show the transaction. "Zombie" is what...

Thanks Rob, here's what I can quickly respond on that before I fall asleep and mash the keyboard with my forehead: -- users are only kicked for sitting in QAD maintenance screens, we are very careful about transaction scoping, and the kick log is monitored, long-running transactions would be...

Had to reboot our ancient, rusty 8.3A QAD (running on HP-UX 11i) database today due to a nasty issue relating to users who were either kicked through an automated proshut script (it kicks users after about 10 minutes of holding open a transaction, to protect the BI file from hitting 1G and...
