If compressing the archived AI's isn't the answer, how about taking more regular online incremental backups. I would expect that they would only contain the changes and (once verified) would allow you to "lose" some of your archived after image files.

I always thought the "rfutil aimage empty" command would delete the old information. We do this after we've backed up the extent.

Ron, Apart from compressing your archived AI's and deleting old files once you've done your backup (whether full or incremental), the only obvious solution is to get more disk space. As for where Motherwell is, it's an ex-steel producing town 15 miles south-east of Glasgow, Scotland. I don't...

Ron, Obvious question for someone starting off with After Imaging - Are you using an AIW?

We have recently experienced a marked degradation in performance of our system following the changing of certain database startup parameters. This is especially noticable when performing large batch processes that create a lot of records (up to 4 times slower). The original parameter file is...

The application is client-server running on WebClient with a steady 200+ users during office hours. I have knocked off some of the APW's and this has forced the BIW & AIW to do a bit more work. I have also introduced -groupdelay at 250, which has reduced the bi partial write ratio to 60%ish...

Chris, I seem to be having problems using numbered bullets What should come out as(hard coded) 1. This is a test 2. This is another Comes out as (numbered bullets)This is a testThis is another Keep up the good work. It's greatly appreciated.

We're running 24/7 except for reboot on Wednesday morning, so I haven't been able to introduce -groupdelay as yet. As you can imagine, this also makes tuning an absolute pain in the a***. You can only change startup parameters once a week. All the average statistics such as writes per minute...

Toby, Thanks for all your help. There are no flushes occuring at checkpoints. Much as I'd love to merge all our databases, business requirements dictate that certain databases may be shut down without affecting others. However, because we must be certain that events are recorded in our...

Thanks for your help:). Our checkpoints are happening every 2 minutes, so I guess there's no large improvement to be made there. In the meantime, I'll try killing off one of the APWs and see whether this gets better performance from the BIW and AIW. 2PC is enabled, but I was not aware that...

Our database has BIW and AIW, plus 3 APW. We consistently see Writes by BIW or AIW of less than 10%. I imagine this means that something else is doing the other 90% of the work. I've read suggestions that reducing the biblocksize will improve these figures, but we cannot set this any lower...

Ron, here is the method we use. For each database, we start a background process that waits until the time is exactly on the minute. It is not as exact as the method you are trying to do, but it is fairly consistent. We kick off this process at 1 minute to the hour (again, edited to bare...

Somthing along the lines of echo "8" > promon.in echo "1" >> promon.in grep username database.lg | tail -1 | cut -f1 -d "," | cut -f2 -d "m" >> promon.in echo "x" >> promon.in echo "q" >> promon.in promon database < promon.in > promon.out The "grep" command may require tuning depending on...

You could use the who -T option to identify the inactive users. You could then run an automated promon to disconnect the user. Or (riskier) kill off that user's unix session and rely on Progress Watchdog (prowdog database) to disconnect them. Here's a thread from a while back...

Something along the lines of OUTPUT TO "compile.log". COMPILE program SAVE NO-ERROR. IF COMPILER:ERROR THEN DO: ASSIGN iCount = ERROR-STATUS:NUM-MESSAGES. DO iNum = 1 TO iCount: MESSAGE ERROR-STATUS:GET-MESSAGE(iNum). END. END.

You can create your own initialize-controls procedure.

Any other ProgressTalkers going? http://www.progress.com/pdw2003 And while I'm on.. without resorting to xenophobia, can anyone suggest a collective noun for Progress Talk members? I've even seen a few non-imported posts beginning "Hi Peggers" ! How about PTers? Surely someone can do better...

Have you disabled the editor? That's the only way I can prevent cursor-right working. If you don't want changes to be allowed to the editor, setting the READ-ONLY attribute to TRUE is a better bet.

As long a you select them to be. We haven't encountered any problems so far.

Not sure what you mean by "dock", but I use systray to minimise a window to an icon on the system tray in the taskbar. http://www.global-shared.com/api/dl/systray.zip
