I would strongly suggest you not try and ask a specific individual to answer your questions, as most of us only read the forums as we can (just like any other forum). There are quite a few experts on here and well experienced people that might be able to help you. As to your problem, you...

Why don't you just load those records into a temp-table, do your updates on the temp-table. If you want to "undo" the whole thing, then do whatever you want (message, errors list whatever) and perform no updates. If you want to "undo" only the records in error, either delete them from the...

Thank you both for the replies and suggestions and recommendations. I had already re-read all the prior posts on this, but just wanted to make sure there hasn't been any significant changes to the computations in 11.7.x. I also really like CJ's idea of setting the storage areas...

I know this has been covered before (perhaps ad nauseum), but it never hurts to get ask. I am in the process of preparing for a upgrade for a 400+GB db from 10.2B08 to 11.7.1 (or .2 or whatever is available when the upgrade happens by year end). Many moons ago we set them up with type II...

Our client chose not to use this, so we did not pursue it further. Essentially, you have 2 choices: 1) Don't use PDF Include and instead use docxfactory (at oehive.org) to generate the PDF and the barcode or 2) Google for one of the barcode generators that produce PDF417 as an image and...

Thanks Rob (esp on the heads up of using promon 1 1!). I thought as much but kill -9 has always been in the "never ever use it" category... too many horror stories.

RHEL OE10.2B08 We have a number of OE background processes running on the server. We ran into a situation this morning (and have the same issue every once in a blue moon) where we cannot kill the job. Using various levels of kill (but not -9), the job just won't go away. I then used promon...

Joey, we've been using ABL input-output through curl scripts for a few years (on Linux) due to this very issue. Given some of the options and connection/authorization parameters, I'm not 100% sure a generic wrapper can be used in all cases but I'd love to have one available. We've used...

If the appserver is hanging due to all of the app server agents stuck in SENDING, there is a OE fix patch for 10.2B08 (it's either 58 or 60 I believe) and one for 11.3.3 (if I remember it's something like 38 but not really sure). For other versions I have no idea. I believe it was permanently...

If you are connecting to *nix, you can try this (add it to your .profile or just execute it before you get into Progress): export LC_ALL=C

one other thing if you insist on going down this path.... you can change the include code to be at least readable by doing the following: Find {&table} {&where} NO-LOCK NO-ERROR. if not available {&table} then do: ..... end. else recno = rowid({&table}). FORM {&table}.{&field1}...

As Tom stated, the reason you cannot do it is because the code you are trying to change is only good in a development environment with compile-on-the-fly. It also looks like you haven't taken the time to look at the dynamic queries which would solve your problem That being said, if you insist...

Agreed wholeheartedly. TBH, I don't have the time or permission to do it on the customer's dime. At one time in the distant past if I'm not mistaken one of the incarnations of the 'bunker crew' did do some benchmarking of the existing Linux file systems, but alas they've gone on to other...

Thanks Rob! I had already found and included that kBase article in our recommendation document. As for all of your other recommendations... I've actually paid attention over the years to all of the expert and non-expert advice, but reminders are always good. :) Our existing server has pretty...

We are in the process of assisting a customer to migrate to a new server, and I'm looking for any recommendations for files systems that work best with OE databases. Existing Server: RHEL 6.8 OE 10.2B08 Databases on SSD's Raid 10 32GB memory New server: RHEL 7.x (I'm assuming 7.2) OE 11.6...

You can only change passwords for the account you are loggged in as. As long as you have admin capabilities, you will need to delete then re-add the user sysprogress and then set the password. From kBase S000011917 The Progress/OpenEdge database does not allow users (regardless of their...

AFAIK , check digits are not required for code39 (although use it if you need it). I see that you are using PDF Include... we use it to generate code39 bar codes all the time for various customers, and have no issues. The only difference from what you have we have is that we use a font size of...

Try putting an "*" (asterisk) before and after your field to be barcoded, as it is required as far as I know in order to be read. e.g. RUN pdf_text_xy ("Spdf","*" + STRING(field to be displayed as barcode) + "*", 222, 580 ).

It looks like it is possible that you have more than one record that satisfies the "begins". It would return "not available" If you want to verify this condition, after your find with the begins statement: if ambiguous [table] then do: message "There is more than one record that meets...

We are in the process of having 10 of our customers audited. I can only echo the caveats here regarding licenses. Progress's view of a "user" and what I would consider a user are two different things. I will say that during our first review they (Progress) admitted that the EULA is purposely...
