I'm seeing about 5000 Total BI writes (.30 per second) in a 5 hour period. That's doesn't sound like a lot.

I understand what you are saying and I'll start down the AI path. Where do I look at the current allocated % or size of the BI? I assume in promon but what am i looking for?

I run the online so that I get a full consistent backup. I don't like having to roll in incremental's so I don't do AI. If I started to do AI's and only did a BI online every 12 hours how many AI's would I have to maintain? Or asking in a different way, can I get away with one incremental per...

I'm running into a situation and need advice. Every 4 hours a probkup online kicks off and works perfect. The problem is, as the db/activity grow the bi takes about 3 minutes to backup and as you know it freezes activity. Is there a way to optimize the bi so that it is smaller or something else...

How is the pdf file created originally?

Tom, Thanks for the follow up. I will note the speed issue. For my immediate need, I am finding my data via indexes for speed but once found I needed to categorize the data based on the (-?) values. Mike

Yeah Baby!, that works great also. Thanks!

Thanks to both of you. Both options work and have merit in different applications for me. Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday, In progress I want to check if a column contains a specific value. Example: '12345-A-001', '23146-P-006', '23-9-P'. I want to find any record with '-P' in it anywhere. I searched "contains" with no luck (previous experience operator). Thanks, Mike

I want to know how to search for an exact phrase here in the forum. I just used the "File Exists" as an example. I started searching the forum but I find posts with JUST file or JUST exists but i can NOT figure out how to search for exactly "file exists" here on the forum. Over a lifetime it...

Sorry for the general forum question but, it will help me find topics much better. How can I search for a phrase like 'file exists'? I only seem to get results for file and/or exists. I specifically want only 'file exists' Is This possible? Mike

Works Great. Thanks for all the info and great conversations.

Sorry I did not mention this earlier. I have it covered in a trigger on the backend, I am simply looking for a visual as the user enters the data. It will simply stop our users from thinking they need to uppercase the IDs. With 325 users it will just help make the data entry more efficient.
