Hello All HPUX 11 Progress 91D09 We've recently upgraded & I am unable to find any documentation about the -SG parameter with idxbuild. Can it be used to improve performance in any way? Thanks in advance Keith DBA Under Stress

I know this is an old post but we are experiencing similar performance degradation. Can you give me some indication of how you solved your problem earlier this year. We've tried PSC and scoured knowledge bases the world over and are still struggling to match the performance we had with V8...

Hello All HPUX11 32bit V9.1D09 32bit We have just upgraded our test system from V8 to V9 and are disappointed to find that V9 can't beat the performance benchmarks we took in V8. Our startup parameters are set as follows; ----------------------------------------------------------- -B...

We used them as a trial once but found little gain. There was a short delay when logging in to the app while the file was read but we found no benefits. They can be really risky - you need a rigorous procedure for keeping them up-to-date. Keith

Hello All, HPUX11 (32 bit) Progress 9.1D We use probuild to rebuild our progress executable, linking in our own c routines for 3rd party software. I've been asked do we statically or dynamically link. Can anybody tell me how I find out? Apparently if we statically link then we can build...

Hello All We're currently on v8.3E on HPUX11.0 32 bit and are upgrading to 9.1D09. We are having problems building a new executable and have been advised to apply patch 22868 to our OS. This patch is for the c compiler. Progress support tell me that if I don't have B3913DB C.03.27 HP aC++...

Hi HPUX 11 (32 bit) We are testing the upgrade to 9.1D (32 bit) We installed from cd & couldn't start any servers so applied the patch to bring us to 9.1D09 Now we cannot build a new executable & bind in our C routines. We get the messages...

Thanks for the pointers. We've solved the mystery, tech support had done a typical install Only complete install includes _comp.p Thanks again for your inputs

Hi We have a windows app for which we only have encrypted source code. Its currently running in 8.3E and everything is fine We are upgrading to 9.1D and I am having problems compiling; The shortcut used for 8.3E is C:\DLC\bin\prowin32.exe -rx -p _comp.p -pf sales.pf But when I use the...

Mystery solved. Many thanks.

Can anybody clear up a mystery for me. I wanted cron to be stopped so I renamed the file; mv root root.old In the middle of my dump & reload a backup started - cron was running the schedulled tasks for root even though the file was now called root.old? What did I do wrong?

Hello all We are currently on V8.3E and are in the process of planning to upgrade to 9. We're on HP kit using HPUX11 Does 9 come with a conv89 utility? I know a dump & load is probably the recommended way but conv89 may be useful when we test the install Is a dump & reload very different...

Hi, I need to move a fixed length bi file. What do i put in the .st file? v8.3E Thanks Keith DBA-Very Stressed

HPUX 11 - 32 bit Progress 8.3E Seasons greeting & a happy new year to all. I have a query. When I use proutil or rfutil I get what I consider to be poor performance. When I run TOP my host is almost idle. Is there a way that I can make my progress utility run faster? Many Thanks...
