    Files in DLCWRK folder aren't getting deleted, causing disk space utilization to spike

    They could be. The DBI files (temp-table database) in particular can grow quite large when there is extensive use of temp-tables. I have seen them grow to hundreds of megabytes per session. Of course this is completely dependent on application code, data, and user behaviour, so I can't...

    There are various privileges related to OpenEdge Auditing. Given the sensitive nature of the data typically written to the audit tables, they cannot be accessed without the appropriate permission. Please read the docs to learn about these privileges. You could grant Audit Administrator to a...

    Question Request for Guidance on Upgrading Progress Database from Version 11.7 to 12.8

    This discussion is no longer about upgrading a database, or database administration at all. In the interest of following forum guidelines, it is time for a new thread in a different forum.

    Named arguments for ABL procedures.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I'm very suspicious of a PDF attachment that claims to contain source code. PDF files are often used to distribute malware. Is there a reason you can't post the code or, at worst, attach a .txt file?

    Question Request for Guidance on Upgrading Progress Database from Version 11.7 to 12.8

    I don't understand your situation. You originally said: I assumed "our" referred to your organization and that that organization is a Progress customer or a customer of a Progress application partner. How do you usually get technical support for OpenEdge? You need to sort that out before you...

    Question Request for Guidance on Upgrading Progress Database from Version 11.7 to 12.8

    I see the message "grep: warning: stray \ after p". I have seen that too in 12.8.7 when trying to start a test PAS instance. I don't know the cause. This could be an OpenEdge bug. I suggest you open a case with Tech Support.

    Progress Engineer vs. Independent Contractor

    I don't envy you. I used to work on an app with a GUI client and there are lots of issues that can arise with compiled code. The r-code of a GUI client incorporates not just the functionality in the source but also a number of aspects of the compile machine/Windows session/ABL session. This...

    Question Request for Guidance on Upgrading Progress Database from Version 11.7 to 12.8

    Well done on installing OE 12.8. A database upgrade is not the same thing as an OpenEdge upgrade! A database has an internal version number that is tied to the OpenEdge major version that either created or upgraded the database. In other words, a database created in OpenEdge 11.x, or upgraded...

    Long running transaction by a user and his activity code

    Please provide your OpenEdge version number. It matters when dealing with issues of how OpenEdge behaves, and in particular when parsing output of Progress utilities. When providing data from promon, please also provide the column headers so we don't have to guess what the data means.
