Do I get a prize for having the most responses from Tom in a row? :) I find it ironic that if you use the Infor tools they start with a massive page of warnings that say "Don't do this if you aren't Infor." (I'm paraphrasing). Why include it? Our script was actually written by a consultant I...

I'm honestly not sure how the script was generated; there are no _ tables in the list. Looking through the full output of for each _file:display _file-name it appears that none of the SYS items or the _ items are in the script. Most of those look like either DBMS stuff, database stats, or...

I understand the concept--I've even done dump and loads. But I've always used scripts provided by someone else. I'm looking at the script that I used last, and it's pretty straight forward--a "dumpdb" function that gets the table name and the dump folder, which then runs _proutil db -C dump...

Sure, I finally install 10.1C and they release 10.2B...

I'm installing OE 10.1C 64bit onto a new system (RH4). I've done this seemingly a hundred times with 32bit 10.1B and thought I could do it in my sleep. One of the first things the install used to ask for was the location of my Java install. With this new installation, it just tells me "A JVM...

Tom is absolutely correct--if you can provide the type of SAN, most likely someone can answer more specifically. We have a Dell MD3000i (I can't afford the name brand stuff--just the store brand) and I manage the RAID levels that it uses. I actually have a couple of RAID groups of different...

Those of us in Application support considered Java and a desktop GUI platform dead on arrival...

You know, I don't have any knowledge I can add to the discussion (Tom and RHD pretty much covered it), but I thought some might get a kick out of this, considering my past Infor rants. A long, long time ago, in a galaxy where I wasn't fully in charge of IT yet, I was told to buy our new ERP...

I never even realized you could do variable length AI extents...and multiple ones at that. Right now we do the game of tuning the job that checks for full extents and archives them against the sporatic needs of the database. Variables with a regular archive schedule makes a lot more sense...

A Red Hat subscription gives you install rights to any previous version--if you're dead set on getting something newer than v2.1, just start going backwards. Install 4.x, see if it runs. Install 3.x, see if it runs. With pretty much every Progress install I've seen (running a few different...

Is "Way too freakin' many" an appropriate answer? We've got over 100 printers in the company (all locations), which I have to manage in 3 (used to be 4) different areas--SX, Windows and Nowforms. Best thing I ever did with SX printing was replace the script I used to feed text based print...

I came here to ask a few questions about AI managment, but your presentation answered all of them (and a few I didn't know I had yet). Thanks, Tom!

I should take a look at the presentation to see if there might be mention of our issues. I've found that, even with an ODBC connection set to Read Uncommitted on 10.1b, if the connection stays open, it keeps a transaction open (it shouldn't even be using a transaction). I've got an alert set...

Care to try to explain that to 120 users--most of which wouldn't know a PDF printer from a ecard?

As I've mentioned in other places, I am not a Progress guy, but I play one on TV. We've got a bolt on Dispatching system that ties into our ERP application; the Dispatching system has an "Importer" process that, once every two minutes, looks for new or updated order records in the ERP database...

I always knew I liked the people here. :)

I put on my hero hat this afternoon; I happened to have a email from our old Infor sales rep (from when he was trying to sell us something) stating that Progress no longer charged platform transfer fees. Gave it to current sales rep. "Well, since you have this, we'll keep our word. You...

Yeah, I think this will have to be something that dies off--I pulled down the EULA and confirmed what tahmas said. I've got enough on my plate--the upgrade can wait.

It's all done through Infor. I'd be more than happy to go to Progress directly, as this has always been a pain in the butt--anyone have any contacts?

The CFO's concern was that Infor would try to pull something over on us; turns out his concerns might have been justified--our sales rep is trying to tell me that there's a platform change fee to move hardware. I already knew this wasn't true, and this confirms it. I like our Infor sales rep--I...
