The last one wins. I never used managed databases. But, I guess that the parameters in the parameter file are picked up after the ones for which we have defined name/value pairs in the conmgr.properties. In the end a simple test should clarify - you can see the parameters used to start the...

Thanks for your valuable input.

OE 11.7 Just to clarify: As per my understanding OE Replication requires the source and target databases to reside on the same platform. As far as I know ( I vaguely remember my sole forays into OE Replication back in 2003? ), you need to start OE Replication with a backup of the source...

Should have made myself more clear: I meant protection against hardware failure :) Seriously - if one solely relies on RAID to protect them against anything evil that can happen to a database then I would call them naive. Any RAID or mirror will happily mirror any software corruption and...

Whatever you do will need to balance performance, security and cost. RAID 5/6 and the like are compromise favoring cost and taking into account some security. Performance is not taken into account prominently here.

I think it should work the same way in *nix.

Persistency pays. Plus, somebody did find out the the Progress based solutions I am responsible of, are just working. No trouble, just stability. They wonder why we don't share the same problems others have with the full stack Java and Oracle as "DBaaS" (database as a service). Don't start me...

I still can't believe it. I and a colleague of mine are all set to attend to PUG Challenge in Dublin in October! Finally I was able to talk some of the Powers that be into supporting us. Looking forward to see some of you there!

Not only is he the authority - I would call him an ambassador given his willingness to share his knowledge and experience.

Since OE10.2 - if I remember correctly - you should be able to use the .NET framework's objects natively in OO-ABL.

You seem to use a extremely outdated version of Progress. In recent versions of Progress OpenEdge the log files contain a timestamp. What version do you use?

In order to get the output of an os command into a variable you need to use the input through. I don't have any example at hand right now, but if you lookup the online help you will find an example. There is one caveat though, the character variable's format must be large enough to hold the...

As always, the general usage of pre-processor directives without a valid use-case, is a bad idea. They are resolved at compile time. But, since the ABL is (still) lacking constants ( immutable variables ) and before the rise of the force ( classes ) in the ABL, I used them to provide constant...

Other than that you cannot connect remotely ( via TCP ) to a database that is not started with the -S startup parameter, there is no disadvantage.

So true.

Base64Encode is an industry standard.

I am not really into OpenEdge Replication. As far as I know the replaction is handled by a dedicated agent. But - I think you need to stop the database anyway to enable replication.

Probably this database is only accessed via an AppServer so it is not exposed outside of the machine.

In that case the database is started without network capabilities and can only be accessed via shared memory from processes that run on the same machine as the database is hosted.

This is in production and works for without a fuzz: define variable terminator as character no-undo initial '~n'. .... assign clientInputString = clientInputString + terminator. set-size ( clientInput ) = length ( clientInputString ) + 1. set-byte-order ( clientInput ) =...
