What are you using to read the QR code itself? Because Progress can't do that. Is this an application written in ABL, or is it a web app that talks to Progress via an API? Generally, if this is a pure ABL system, I would buy a USB barcode reader. This will spit the QR code out in plain text. So...

You're going to need to provide quite a bit more detail to get an answer. This is far too ambiguous. See my sig for a starting point.

Not sure if this is of use, but Chrome is now available as an Open Source distributable called Chromium. I'm not sure how well it integrates with OE10, but it should be ok IMO. Here's a webinar to get you started

I've not even heard of it until now. Do you have any specific problems or questions?

If you're on a Windows client then you can use the .Net framework to launch the file which can be a little more robust than os-command. Easier to trap errors. System.Diagnostics.Process:Start (tmpFileName). Edit: To clarify - that comes after the copy-lob statement.

If you move to v11 before the v12 upgrade then you can use PASOE and rest services very easily. The upgrade to v11 is a bit simpler than the upgrade to v12 as there are still 32bit options. Assuming that's a barrier. PASOE is a Tomcat based server that you can connect to very easily via REST...

Might help to know where you are based.

Look into using Apache Ant and more specifically PCT. Very simple to build automated scripts that way.

Pradeep - I've moved this to a new thread. It's always better to start a new thread than to dredge up an old one. If you need to link to information int he old thread, then please link to it.

Fixed them :)

QAD = Technical Debt. I rest my case ;) But seriously, there are much better ways of achieving this with modern versions of Progress.

Also, anything "global" or "shared" is technical debt you will regret in the future.

Or use the trim() function at the end.

Try with pub.table

Ah I see - I wasn't aware of that. Although the DBs aren't being used at the backup time. But good to know. Might explain though why it fails. Still need to get to the DB logs to check this.

Not sure where you're getting the downtime from - the -vp works online. Or at least, it finishes ok online. Maybe those two are different things! :) I'm not in control of what happens after I take the backups - the volume they're put on is snapshotted afterwards. I don't have access to a...

They're online dbs and very much part of a production environment. All bar one of them are small - the trappings of ADM2 mostly and our SmartDB.

That's interesting. I actually built it into the script after someone at the EMEA PUG, someone well respected in the DBA world, asked me why my backup script doesn't contain a verify... I can't quite remember exactly who asked it though so I won't throw around accusations. I mean - I have no...

Belt and braces Rob. Not specifically had anything bad happen but it can't harm, surely?
