    Question The open database table is full

    The problem is not with the database. The issue is on the client side. By default, an OpenEdge client can connect to up to five databases concurrently. This is a soft limit, it can be increased by specifying a higher value with the -h client startup parameter. E.g.: mpro -db db1 -db db2 -db...

    Question The open database table is full

    I don't understand what you are doing. This batch file command runs a primary database broker for a database called calldata. You reported that you had a problem with your compile client, that it throws an error that it cannot connect to all of the databases it is attempting to connect to...

    RAID in 2024

    Credit where it's due: that's @TomBascom's message based on his research and consulting; I'm just spreading the word. Agreed on virtualization. It can provide real benefits but it isn't free (computationally) or risk-free. It adds another layer of abstraction and complexity, and can have...

    RAID in 2024

    I don't know your business, or the rate at which your data changes, or how much you can afford to lose. But you should. It sounds like you are modernizing to some extent. If I were you, I would start by modernizing the business continuity plan. Figure out your RPO and RTO and put in place...

    Install Progress 9.1b on Windows 11

    You can try running Process Monitor during the installation. If there is a silent failure, e.g. accessing a registry entry or file, creating a service, spawning a process, you should see it there.

    OE Studio

    When last I checked (admittedly several years ago) there were several different development product licenses. They have different costs and features. The list varies by OpenEdge release. E.g.: 4GL Development System Basic compiler license. OpenEdge Studio GUI Procedure Editor interface...

    Connecting to Virtual Machine from local PC

    When an ABL or SQL client connects to a database via TCP, it needs to make two connections: First, to the login broker on its service port (the value of -S for the broker). Once connected, the broker sends the client the port number of the server it should connect to. The client disconnects...

    Question Inconsistencies On 64 Bit Installs.

    Hi Andy, Progress does support running multiple OpenEdge installations side-by-side on Windows, including 32-bit and 64-bit of the same release, since (I think) 11.5. I have multiple releases installed on my machine, including 12.8. So having the releases you mentioned already installed...

    Question Inconsistencies On 64 Bit Installs.

    Are you aware of the install changes that Progress made as of 12.8.4? Previously, you could install OpenEdge from scratch in one of two ways: install then update install the FCS release (e.g. 12.8.0) install the latest update over top of that (e.g. 12.8.3) install directly from the update...

    Question Need to update open edge version 11.7.9 to 11.7.20

    How to install a Progress OpenEdge Service Pack | update Progress Customer Community If it didn't, there wouldn't be any point in updating. Yes. You test an OpenEdge update the same way you test any other change before deploying it to production: on your test server, with production-like...

    Error Sql users getting error :-Exceeding permissible number of connections and No SQL servers are available

    I originally wrote: This should have read: A value of -Ma 1 means that each server will only allow one client connection. Sorry for the error. I have corrected it above.

    Error Sql users getting error :-Exceeding permissible number of connections and No SQL servers are available

    Based on what you have already provided, that won't work. The first broker you start is your primary broker; in your case, it is also your 4GL login broker. The -Mn parameter on the primary broker determines the total number of servers and secondary brokers that may be started database-wide...

    Error Sql users getting error :-Exceeding permissible number of connections and No SQL servers are available

    I don't know why there are two identical threads on this subject. The other one should be closed. I don't know how you managed to start this broker. Zero is not a valid value for -Mpb. It would be better for you to show the startup parameter values of your database brokers from wherever they...

    DLLs or other encryption options

    (Caveat: the above might be an academic exercise, with no intent to use this code in a production system. I wouldn't take issue with that. But as I re-read the thread, I don't think that is the case here.) My two cents, as a non-expert: Don't try to roll your own crypto libraries. It may...

    Resolved Crystal Report .rpt file Lock

    Question Way to delete records of table from database? (DBA related query using and utility)

    When someone says they have an urgent need to purge data from a table, experience has shown that they may be assuming such a purge will help them with a problem of low available disk space, as if deleting records will shrink the database files that contain those records. This is an incorrect...
