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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

From ProKB:

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.

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...

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...

(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...

I had difficulty following this. You may want to edit for clarity. And I don't see a connection with OpenEdge development.

Good point, I've heard that one many times too.

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...

These JVM arguments begin with a capital X. E.g.: -Xmx512m -Xms64m https://community.progress.com/s/article/P99089

I'm confused. Is it 11.4 or 12.2.14?

An ABL client can connect to an OpenEdge database in one of two ways: shared memory (also known as self-service) or TCP (also known as remote). In order for a client to connect via shared memory it must satisfy the following constraints: the client and database are on the same machine; the...

I have a vague recollection of a Progress runtime engineer saying that batch clients should use _progres.exe rather than a GUI client. I can't quote the particulars now. I believe it was more about efficiency rather than compatibility, as there are some cases where the two clients follow...

Here is a sample I wrote a while back, it may help: // add conditional formatting for row shading; every other group of 3 rows is light gray v-worksheet:Range( "A4" ):Select. v-worksheet:Range( v-excel:Selection, v-excel:ActiveCell:SpecialCells( xlLastCell ) ):Select...

The Java requirements for 9.1D are in Section 1.1.1, Chapter 1 of the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for UNIX, in the 9.1D PDFs provided above by @Osborne. It suggests you need JVM 1.3.0_02 or 1.3.1. RHEL isn't listed specifically; the nearest distro listed in the...

There isn't a simple answer to this. It really depends on how your particular use of the OpenEdge platform: how the application is written, which OpenEdge products and components you use, whether you currently use any functionality that has been removed from the platform, whether you have...
