I've not come up with a solution of disconnecting users from the database after 30 minutes of inactivity - but I am forced to come up with one around the end of the year. For what it is worth, our application has been penetration tested by external consultants who even didn't understand the...

You need to run them persistent. Depending on how it was it coded it will wait-for or just execute the main block and stay in memory. If you created the windows in the good ole AppBuilder it will automatically contain the necessary code - have a look into the main block. Have a look at the...

One of the reasons is that the version of OpenEdge that you use is very old and you need to do "hardcore" socket coding for such stuff. Don't know whether OE 10.2B already supports the .NET integration. If it does, as an alternative you could also use the .NET HttpRequest object direct from...

Just forgot: You also might be able to find an implementation on on OE Hive ( OO Socket Sample Code | The OpenEdge Hive )

When you want to access a web page you have you need to open the URL in a HTTP client. OpenEdge 10.2b is very ( more that 10 years ) old and I am pretty sure that the HTTP client classes only have been introduced in a later OpenEdge 11 release. Therefore you need to either Use ABL sockets (...

The list of de-supported features and lack of others will effectively prevent us from moving to OE12. This is the first time in some 30 years working with Progress that I am not able to move on. Unless Progress moves - the lifespan of OE11 is the time we have to migrate away from Progress...

If it wouldn't be real I would think this is a bad dream ... 2 weeks ago I tried to open a support case just to find out that the maintenance for our Progress licenses has expired. Wut? As it turns out, our vendor management has been off-shored to Mumbay (India) Q4 last year and they are...

Sorry - did not spot the "batch file" - assuming you're on Windows - my previous solution works *nix. Create a text file that contains just the y and a line break. proutil dbname -C conv1011 < theTextFile.txt

echo "y" | proutil dbname -C conv1011

This is a warning message generated by a client session. For more information you might have a look here: Progress KB - What is the -mmax parameter?

There was a time when Progress even came out with even more insane: In the Dynamics framework they called this thing a PLIP ( persistent library of internal procedures or something like that ) ;)

Yes, by OO I mean object-orientated.

Just my 2 cents: While I prefer OO over procedural and I hate include files - whether you do OO or procedural does not dictate whether you produce clean code. While OO makes it somewhat easier it is not a matter of the approach - it is the human factor that matters most. When you deal with...

From my experience: If you are on Windows I would go straight ahead with the .NET HTTP client. No matter what other people might say, I use it now for years and it is rock solid - but you are then stuck to Windows. When you need to present an SSL client certificate to the Server then the HTTP...

The only product that talks UDP is the NameServer. If you don't need the NameServer ( for load balancing or discovering the AppServers and WebSpeed brokers ) then you don't need UDP. Even with the classic AppServer, the only thing that needs the NameServer is load balancing. You can directly...

Please don't get me wrong, but I doubt that you will find anybody who has rolled their own codepage conversion. I did have a look into it some 10 years ago but in the end I did not roll my own - back then I decided to convert the backend to UTF-8, and, it was a good decision. The questions is...

It was a wonderful event. Even though I went to same "basic" sessions I have to say that I, again, learned a lot. I hope I can make it again next year in Vienna.

Just my 2 cents: Transaction and buffer scope are the basics of updating a Progress OpenEdge database. Understanding their scopes is an absolute must to produce ABL programs that perform and behave well. You absolutely should make yourself familiar with them. Otherwise you code might cause long...

Hi Rob, unfortunately I won't get a chance to do a comparison testing of Ext4 vs. xfs in the near future. Like you we didn't get bare metal - instead we got a RHEL VM and file systems residing on a SAN (should be an EMC highend one). But, from my point of view - compared with Solaris SPARC...

I've just had a discussion with our storage admins concerning the file system types used for databases with RHEL. Up to this point I was under the impression that we will get Ext4 file systerm for the database but now checking the system I just got I see that they are xfs. In the product...
