Here is an example, I have a program. It does many calculations. If a problem is reported, I could dump the full program into AI. Often AI can find the issue and point a dev toward the problem, or even suggest and make the change. But, here are two scenarios. In 1 scenario, the dev doesn't...

I was reading about this recently - do you mean like the one in Boston in September? I do feel like that's very far away though - any thoughts on a method sooner? Thanks for the help.

To clarify, our tool isn't migrating the schema, but the actual business logic. This may be a long winded response... First, migrating may be the wrong word as there isn't a new system that uses the graph db for transaction processing. To understand, and I apologize if this is already known...

It would definitely be interesting. I'm also surprised to have not heard back from anyone at Progress - it seems like with the rise of AI IDEs, they'd be intrigued by a similar concept.

Good morning all, We’ve developed a robust method for converting our entire Progress codebase into a “metaschema” (database layer). This metaschema mirrors a graph structure, using keys rather than direct relationships, which allows us to analyze the codebase in novel ways. Recently, we...

@Rob Fitzpatrick well, you've pretty much blown my mind with this. Thank you for this write-up and I apparently have some research to do. I hope you have a great day.

Thanks @TomBascom. The separate file is what did it. We're actually creating these databases from another system so we don't really have an option to create less data unless we remove system files. Now upgrading might make sense, but this was helpful for now. Hope ypu have a good one.

I'm working on a v9 progress db that's running out of room in the db. I've been researching extents but am unsure of if my understanding is correct and if it is, why my syntax isn't working. Here is my .st file: # b E:\System\D\testdb.b1 # d "Schema Area":6,32 E:\System\D\testdb.d1 d "Schema...

Hey thanks, it's definitely moving me in the right direction. Have a good one.

No, but thank you for the suggestion, I get the error, GetContact. Unknown name, then invalid component handle, and incompatible data types.

I understand how to go to outlook with code like: def var vhOutlook as com-handle no-undo. def var vhTask as com-handle no-undo. create "Outlook.Application":u vhOutlook connect no-error. if error-status:error then create "Outlook.Application":u vhOutlook. vhTask =...

Any help of any kind? some suggestions?

I have now gotten it to atleast affect my prospect.email, however it only puts "hitem:name" in there, I can't use standardized fields like fullname,email,companyname. And then the name isn't only the name, and it only pulls the first contact. So I get " Bob Smith (bsmith@test)...

I have at least gotten this to affect my prospect.email . It will now load "name" I don't know where it gets the information and I can only have Bob Smith in my contact list but it's doing something. Any ideas about how to differentiate between contacts and how to use outlook standard fields...

I realize the FIND prospect code at the top is unnessary, I was trying something and forgot to take it out.
