Thank you Rob, I didn't want to over-complicate the situation I was describing... we do have many environments, including Staging. I personally don't delve into the application code very much but from what I see of how the menu systems works I think it would be a big stretch for our developers...

Sorry for not explaining things, clearly, Rob. The application we use is large and complex (it's a banking system). Major changes (which happen rather often) almost always involve schema changes -- and we can handle that without a problem. The "problem" is that the CHUI part of the system has...

Thank you, Tom. Yes, I appreciate that a 4GL-code solution is possible, but that would require quite a lot of R&D to discover exactly what is required. I was hoping that there might be a way to capture details of what happens when all the menu changes are made to the TEST system such that they...

Linux RHEL -- OE 11.7.17 Hi, I have a set-up that is pretty common -- TEST, UAT and PROD servers. We have an application that has both a character UI and via AppServers also a GUI UI. When a change is implemented, it often involves a rather large number of menu changes in the character...

11.7.17 on Red Hat Linux At present our Production system has xcoded source on it. I'm planning changing to have no source at all on Prod, but it will take a few months to get that done. In the meantime I'm learning about xcode. I have encountered it many times before but this is the first...

OE 11.7.4 on Linux (Nutanix) Our prod DB is on a Linux server. It has four Windows hosts that connect to it that each support a classic AppServer (set to have 5 agents) -- with load-balancers. Our UAT and TEST environments are set-up similarly. We plan to move from the existing "classic"...

OE 11.7.4 on Linux Our prod DB is on a Linux server. It has four Windows hosts that connect to it that each support a classic AppServer (set to have 5 agents) -- with load-balancers. Our UAT and TEST e (This post got truncated! I'll have to re-type it!

Sorry -- I've withdrawn this. I have worked-out what I needed. Ron.

Thank you! It is a surprise to me, that's for sure. But I can work around it. Ron.

Hi. This is not a Progress question, but I am sure Progress DBAs would be able to throw light on this problem. It's a question about how crontab works in RH Linux. I have a job that archives and purges audit data. It is very process-intensive and it was set to run several small slices of...

Thank you all for your contributions. I have to conclude that my plan to change the trigger code "in mid flight" was simply flawed. I will have to move to a different method.

11.7.4 on Linux Hi DBAs, I'm testing an addition to the system that uses write and delete triggers on a selection of tables. The triggers exist on a Linux server and four AppServers. I was hoping to be able to "switch-on" the triggers at an exact moment. I thought of a few different ways...

Thank you Cecil and Tom. I believe you have confirmed my understanding. I just wanted to be sure there was no "good reason" to use c/s that I was not aware of.

I should have explained a bit better. Yes, of course, a local user must use a client/server connection for getting at an AppServer. The situation I'm dealing with is users who simply access a DB using a character-based application. Ron.

11.7.4 on Linux Hello DBAs, Over a long period working with Progress, systems I have worked on have used a very straight-forward "rule" -- local users connect via "direct connect" (ie via shared memory) -- and remote users use client/server connections. However, in the system I work with now...

OE 11.7.4 on Linux. As per best advice -- I have always set-up Storage Areas as Type 2 -- and appreciate the various reasons why Type 1 Areas should never be used (except of course for Area 6). However .... the system I look after is a package and like nearly all cases of using packaged...

Thank you Tom. I think what you have explained helps. I will pick my way through it and see if I can solve the problem. Ron.

Thank you Stefan -- I appreciate your help -- but it doesn't actually help. Tom and Dan have slides illustrating "strong" and "weak" scope -- but the slides are very simplistic. When I try to fit my logic around what they show I end-up in a mishmash that doesn't work. I will just have to play...

OE 11.7.4 on Linux. Although I've worked with Progress for a long time, I confess that my understanding of transactions and record scoping has many gaps. :confused: I have read (and re-read) presentations from Tom and Dan -- and I still have gaps. Here is a small test program: > cat...

Yes, Rob, I think there are a number of ways this can be addressed -- but the big 'relief' is that the cause of the problem has been found .. it was really bugging me. (I'm sure you can imagine.)
