    Question About Memory Allocation For Database...

    Gah... totally glossed over the fact that it was 24MB of swap being used :oops: That is certainly no cause for concern.

    Question About Memory Allocation For Database...

    By default Linux will consume all available memory to use for OS buffer cache. Use the "free" command to see how much OS cache is being used... free -m. I usually trust the output from free more than top but on most Linux distros they are the same. You can use promon to see how much memory is...

    CA doesn't directly kill products, but part of the milking process is cutting expenses. Which sometimes results in the product dying sooner than it should have and a subset of customers moving off a lot quicker than they would have. Their acquisition list is full of dead or nearly dead (I don't...

    Who knows what will happen or what the real plans are. Based on the statements the new CEO made and the massive reduction in head count (more than just the one sitefinity division) makes me wonder about the future though. Of course the new CEO could be out of the picture or have a massive...

    C.A. is one of those companies that buys older/niche technology... and bleeds it do death by cutting spending on development/support/marketing and riding the maintenance gravy train.. sometimes increasing maintenance costs for customers that are considered "trapped". Nobody ever comes out and...

    I didn't know that... I was telling somebody else about the earnings call transcript and how all of the language concerning OE was very CA-like. Mature, serve customers profitably, etc.

    Comment Openedge Odbc Dataserver Retired? Product Availability Guide Update Jan 2017

    Honestly I wouldn't worry too much about those products. A few of the larger vendors depend on them for meaningful amounts of their revenue. My biggest concern at the moment is the level of support and enhancements for OE going forward. Way too early to tell obviously and damage control is...

    Comment Openedge Odbc Dataserver Retired? Product Availability Guide Update Jan 2017

    The day is still young though (over here at least).. with all of the recent staff reductions and reorgs at PSC things might change:D

    Comment Openedge Odbc Dataserver Retired? Product Availability Guide Update Jan 2017

    The DataServer for SQL Server and Oracle aren't going anywhere.. its just the generic ODBC dataserver they are retiring. So at least there is that.

    Answered Which Broker/server Is A User Using

    The Servers By Broker orders/groups the output.. each Login broker should have all of the "child" brokers listed below it. With a blank line between login broker groups. User control shows that user is connected to server 16 which is parented to server 1, which uses port 30050.

    Truncate Bi File

    You can still add new areas (or extents) without breaking AI based replication. You just need to add the areas and extents to the target (the one you apply the AI files against) first.. and then to the source database. I assume this is still true for 9.1E (which is ancient and unsupported). It...

    Seeking Solution After Bi Alert

    Depending on your version and how the clients connect there are several ways to track down a user. I would suggest looking at the _Connect VST (Virtual System Table)... since it looks like you are doing self service local connections you can just get the PID and find out which user is...

    Question Multiple Dialogs

    Part of the confusion is probably that MS in their infinite wisdom supports modal and modeless "Dialog Boxes"... Like Tom says, once you can switch focus back and forth they aren't really Dialog Boxes in definition.

    Question Multiple Dialogs

    In OE/Progress dialog boxes are modal and will not allow a user to jump back and forth between dialog boxes.. In OE/Progress Windows can be either modal or modeless.. there are tons of applications that use Windows to do exactly what you describe.

    Seeking Solution After Bi Alert

    You can get a stack trace for the process.. in many cases this will tell you which programs are causing the issue. It will at least be a starting point... Progress KB - What is proGetStack? Progress KB - How to produce a stack trace for a running OpenEdge process without killing it Then you...

    Buffer-copy Question

    OpenEdge optimizes updates by not actually writing the changes to disk/memory if the columns are the same. This is a pretty rare feature for most databases. It has been like this for quite some time.. not sure which version it started in but it has been there for at least a decade or so :-) If...
