We're in the process of migrating a Progress installation, 10.1B, from AIX 5.3 to RHEL 5.10 on VMware Vsphere 5.1. Any suggestions and experieences to share on how to configure the vm especially when it comes to disks. I'm debating on whether to use LVM or just straight virtual disks. And if...

Thanks! In this case we have the luxury of being able to perform full dry-runs well ahead of time :-)

We are planing on migrating OE 10.1B03/AIX 5.3 to OE 11.X/(RHEL /CentOS 6.5). I was under the impression that a text dump and load was required for this operation. But I seem to remember having seen here or elsewhere that's not the case. Does anyone know? Also, if both are possible, which one...

Thanks - we have an Enterprise license. I guess we'll do a pray & try over the weekend here.

Hello, We are looking into accuiring backup software for vmware that's able to backup our RHEL Progress 10.2B server . We want to be able to snapshot a vm with a running database in a consistent state. We are looking at Veeam and Netvault. Anyone else have any experience of this? On another...

Well, that xplains it. Have a great vacation and watch out for the south pole!

Hi Tom, Thanks for a great tool! I have a question: When running the self service client through (ssh Putty / vt220,vt100,xterm) I move can't move between or resort the different result tables. The default startup screen with just "Table activity" and "User IO" results will just allow me to...

Ok, I tried aimage new again and this time the extent didn't remain locked. But I think I might have misinterpreted the situation the first time around. The night before I ran aimage new, an online full backup runs which of course also runs aimage new. When I listed the ai extents, the...

Thanks again for your information and help Tom & Rob! I'll try another aimage new this weekend and see if it happens again. Last weekend was the first time I tried it And I'll get on our AP about an update.

Thanks, I'll crank the -pica to the max! Will that improve performance or will it just prevent what shouldn't happen from happening ;-) The target is nowhere near the source in hardware right now. But it's basically idle at the moment with just the replication going. It's a vm, and yes...

Yup, aimage new on the source and to clarify; that was the only database I had to restart in order to get replication going again. We have a shell script that loops: 1. gets the name for the first full ai extent (_rfutil theDB -C aimage extent full) 2. gets the sequence# (_rfutil theDB -C...

Hello, We are running OE replication between a production server and a backup server. Currently the AI files are of fixed size and fairly large 500 MB ~ 4-6 hours of business. On a regular basis a script archives full extents to a backup SAN. We'd like to change the script and force extent...

Thanks for testing! (I've been out on vacation for a couple of days) I hope we can try this once our infrastructure settles down. (We are in the middle of a major overhaul right now).

Thanks a bunch for the info! I think this could solve our problem. Unless I'm missing something it seems like you can defer startup for 7 days (10080 minutes) which was something I hoped for. 24 hours would've made it. But longer is more convenient. I just need to figure out all the...

We are in the process of establishing Fathom site replication between two remote sites. The way this has been done in the past is to create one full offline Progress backup and one incremental backup of the source database. And while the source database is down transport the backups to the...

Re: Running transactions in a tight loop without monopolizing resources - nice Progre The purge doesn't really have to run during business hours. It starts at night and used to finish well before business started. Now it runs into it because of the way the real data is selcted, per business...

Re: Running transactions in a tight loop without monopolizing resources - nice Progre Yea, I wasn't really thinking about OS nice but rather Progress nice if there was such a thing. I already tested the pause at 100/200 iterations. But the result wasn't what I expected when viewing the promon...

Re: Running transactions in a tight loop without monopolizing resources - nice Progre That's true. Didn't think about that..

We are purging a large number of records in several tables. The purges all fit this pattern DEF VAR min-id AS INT NO-UNDO. DEF VAR max-id AS INT NO-UNDO. DEF VAR num-records AS INT INITIAL 0 NO-UNDO. DEF VAR trans-active AS INT INITIAL no NO-UNDO. DISABLE TRIGGERS FOR LOAD OF big-table...

I guess the title I did choose for this thread was a little misleading. I was really after expanding the transaction to encompass more records. But you already figured that out. My situation also has changed: I need to run this purging during regular business hours in order to meet a deadline...
