Yeah I know all about shelling out on PAS. Unfortunately we have about 1 million OS-COMMANDS all over the codebase. :( There's just no scope for fixing them. I'm fixing this particular nut by making it soft-settable between cURL and HTTP, so we can swap back once we get to 12.8 later this year...

I've solved it. cCurlCommand = SUBSTITUTE ("curl -X -sS --location --request GET &1 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Bearer &2' 2>/dev/null -o &3 -w '%~{http_code}' > &4", icURI...

Still stuck on 11.7 on RHEL 8. Yes. I know. Sorry Tom. Migration to PASOE Webspeed is an absolute pain. One of the side issues with 11.7 seems to be the flakiness of HTTP requests using the shipped classes. It works fine 95% of the time but then it gets a broken pipe. I've spoken in the past...

September will be here before you know it, and I believe PSC have done most of their other outreach stuff this year as that tends to be in the earlier half of their fiscal year.

It would make a great Progress User Group case study! I mean the fact it's hard to move away ;)

IMO Temp Table definitions are one of the very few legitimate uses for includes these days, so long as you only include them where they are actually used! Where includes are a bane is when there's one or two includes that have hundreds of definitions and functions/procedures that are included...

I knew I'd find a post from you Thomas! I was here to bang that drum. Even with "simpler" OO concepts like overloading there's a great deal you can do to make reusable and maintainable code.

There's no way I'd be adding that to my IDE. Ever. AI tools don't get to read my code and use it.

The main area I've seen talked about is in the whole area of summarising large volume data. John Ainsworth does an interesting talk around using maps to visualise data but there's no substance around how. It's just pretty pictures and smoke and mirrors.

That's in no way a diss of Progress support by the way. They do an excellent job, I'm just questioning if that's the right approach! :)

@JLovegren I can probably get away with saying this here... Hopefully... but in all honesty, if you want to learn these things then you'd be better off employing the services of an independent contractor than Progress support. Their job is often to solve problems as quickly as possible, whereas...

Drive mappings on Windows are a nightmare. IIRC, even if you change the user to one that has the drive mapped it won't necessarily be available to PASOE due to the way Windows handles "security". Using the UNC path is the way forward. I suppose you could create config in the database to...

@Tony Woodhouse that's a fantastic summary of steps. Thanks so much for taking the time to write it.

Code tags fixed :)

I've added the code tags, but I'm not sorting the indents ;)

Sounds to me like it's network infrastructure blocking the requests if it doesn't make it as far as the PAS.

When you say moving to a cloud solution, still Epicor, still OpenEdge or is this a new product entirely. This is really important to clarify as recommendations will vary depending on what you're trying to achieve. I can certainly recommend someone to you if you're staying with OpenEdge. In fact...

Sorry about the auto-mod of the post. We've dialled it in quite tightly recently due to an influx of spambots and yours didn't make the cut. I've approved now. As to your question, you can definitely compile on Linux. Whilst we don't do Speedscript or CHUI, we do classic webspeed and that's...

Yes I agree. It's a great example of how this forum should work. And it documents the difference between PUT and EXPORT nicely.

Well spotted that man.
