I think the "past musings" will suffice for now. However: Amen. The "A" in "DBA" doesn't mean "just lookin' around". We change stuff too.

Some past musings on OE Auditing: https://www.progresstalk.com/threads/progress-auditing.122722/

That tool is related to OE Auditing. My point was that it is just one tiny part of it.

I've written here at some length about OE Auditing in the past. It involves extra work (reads, writes, BI/AI note volume), and work isn't free. It has a computational and storage cost. But that isn't a reason to avoid it; compliance requirements trump performance desires. And performance...

CDC was introduced in 11.7. "Reporting CUDs" isn't much of a business requirement. If you were asking me personally, I'd want much more of an explanation of what you want to accomplish before recommending a solution. But I am confident that solution wouldn't involve parsing aimage scan...

If you want an OpenEdge data viewer, give Patrick Tingen's DataDigger a try. GitHub - patrickTingen/DataDigger: A dynamic dataviewer for your Progress / OpenEdge databases

$DLC/properties/java.properties only exists in OE 12.1 and later, according to the referenced article. It also mentions, for earlier releases, a file called $DLC/properties/JavaTools.properties that must be modified if you use OEE or OEM.

The takeaway here is: The old OpenEdge RDBMS authentication functionality stores hashed passwords in _User. Passwords are hashed, once, with the encode function, as opposed to a modern, high-quality cryptographic hash function that is suitable for this purpose. There is no possibility to salt...

When you see a message that begins with "**" and ends with a number in brackets, that number is an error number. You can look these up in the Procedure Editor, or in the ']knowledge base, or in ProKB, which is a downloadable application for browsing the knowledge base. Here is the entry on...

Another alternative for you is to use VS Code, which is cross-platform. Riverside Software makes an extension for it (called "OpenEdge ABL") that provides features like syntax highlighting, compilation, projects, debugging, etc. It's free.

Cool! I learned something new today. :)

I used to work on a federated application (multiple databases) which, in the past, stored user credentials and attributes in _User in each of the databases, as well as in an application table. It had all of the authentication rules you described, implemented at the application level. Password...

I use PDSOE although I am certainly no expert in using and configuring it, and I probably use a fraction of what it can do. My code is CHUI-only; you can certainly use PDSOE for that use case, and in my opinion it is miles better than the character or GUI Procedure Editors, though Eclipse is...

Also, if you're going to reference KB articles that you think are relevant and expect your audience to be aware of, it's helpful to provide links to those articles so it's easier for others to help you.

OE 11.7 will retire in March of 2025. If you are in the planning stages of an upgrade project, I would recommend 12.8.

I looked at the thread. You didn't describe what you intend to do. You didn't mention SonarQube or CABL at all. I tried to help. I think I'm done here.

It sounds like you didn't explain to them that the "third-party analysis" in question would be coming from SonarQube.

Again, this isn't an OpenEdge question. It sounds like your problem can be summarized as follows: My application code is written in Language X (which happens to be OpenEdge ABL, but that shouldn't matter). I want to perform code analysis. I am planning to implement CI in Azure Pipelines and...

Exactly. I think the question to be explored is whether the SonarQube analysis data can be imported into SonarCloud. I wouldn't expect it to matter which language is the target of the analysis. According to this thread in the Sonar Community, they both use the same analysis engine, so it...
