Telnet authentication failed means that you have specified an invalid username / password combination during login.

Error 8558 is not about the database; it is about connections to the App Server. Read here: https://community.progress.com/s/article/P114311 When discussing client/server, remember that these words don't mean the same thing in all situations. It is important to be specific and to provide...

When requesting guidance about OpenEdge, please specify your platform and OpenEdge release.

They could be. The DBI files (temp-table database) in particular can grow quite large when there is extensive use of temp-tables. I have seen them grow to hundreds of megabytes per session. Of course this is completely dependent on application code, data, and user behaviour, so I can't...

Are you also writing session temporary files (-T) to the E: drive?

There are various privileges related to OpenEdge Auditing. Given the sensitive nature of the data typically written to the audit tables, they cannot be accessed without the appropriate permission. Please read the docs to learn about these privileges. You could grant Audit Administrator to a...

This discussion is no longer about upgrading a database, or database administration at all. In the interest of following forum guidelines, it is time for a new thread in a different forum.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm very suspicious of a PDF attachment that claims to contain source code. PDF files are often used to distribute malware. Is there a reason you can't post the code or, at worst, attach a .txt file?

I don't understand your situation. You originally said: I assumed "our" referred to your organization and that that organization is a Progress customer or a customer of a Progress application partner. How do you usually get technical support for OpenEdge? You need to sort that out before you...

Please enclose code in [ code ] [/ code ] tags (remove the spaces).

I see the message "grep: warning: stray \ after p". I have seen that too in 12.8.7 when trying to start a test PAS instance. I don't know the cause. This could be an OpenEdge bug. I suggest you open a case with Tech Support.

I don't envy you. I used to work on an app with a GUI client and there are lots of issues that can arise with compiled code. The r-code of a GUI client incorporates not just the functionality in the source but also a number of aspects of the compile machine/Windows session/ABL session. This...

You can use proutil dbname -C describe to see the internal version number of the database. Here are two examples: $ proutil sports -C describe OpenEdge Release 11.7.16 as of Fri Nov 18 14:05:47 EST 2022 OpenEdge Database Description Database Name : /data/rob/db/11/11.7/sports...

Well done on installing OE 12.8. A database upgrade is not the same thing as an OpenEdge upgrade! A database has an internal version number that is tied to the OpenEdge major version that either created or upgraded the database. In other words, a database created in OpenEdge 11.x, or upgraded...

Some more info on the Client Statement Cache and how to use it.

Please provide your OpenEdge version number. It matters when dealing with issues of how OpenEdge behaves, and in particular when parsing output of Progress utilities. When providing data from promon, please also provide the column headers so we don't have to guess what the data means.

Unfortunately, Progress doesn't provide a useful way to document structure. Structure file comments are useless as they are not written into the database. So, for example, they are discarded after a prostrct list. It is yet another limitation with structure management. One solution is to...

Yes, you do. From late v11 to 12.8.3, you could directly install an up-to date OpenEdge installation with just the update install package. E.g. you could install 12.8.3 in an empty directory, without having 12.8 already installed. As of 12.8.4, you need two install packages: the 12.8.0...

Great idea. Lots of developers/DBAs have spent lots of hours extending and contextualizing PSC's tool output to make it more useful. There is so much more they could do. As a community, we would be much better off if they did it. A rising tide lifts all boats, as they say. Also, in this...
