We have two servers. The first is the live server, which our employees ues. The second is the dev server, which we use to develop, test, and debug programs. We sometimes need to dump database information from the live server to the dev server. Yep, in the end, we decided to use rsync to copy...

Progress: 11.7.5 Server OS: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 We're in the middle of upgrading from Progress 10.2b to 11.7.5. In 10.2b, we were sometimes able to run the following, even when "CONNECTED('mffg1')" was false: DEFINE VARIABLE hPopupBuffer AS HANDLE NO-UNDO. CREATE...

Progress: 11.7.5 Server OS: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 Let's say we have an empty database on Server 1 and an FD file on Server 2. Is it possible to issue a BULKLOAD command to the empty database on Server 1 to load the FD file on Server 2? (It may not be fast or practical, but is it...

Thanks for all your help, everyone! A follow-up question on the PRODICT, ADECOMM, WEB, and WRAPPER libraries: If the source code for these libraries is available here, does that mean I could use them on a server that doesn't have a 4GL Development System license?

Okay, I got it working after downloading the web and wrappers folders from the development tools source code. One last problem: I compiled a custom program called "dump_tables.p" with the following environment settings: PATH ->...

Our configuration: Product Name: 4GL Development System Product Name: OE Enterprise RDBMS So why wouldn't we have the web library installed? Is it okay if I download it?

Thanks, Rob. I've just confirmed that we ONLY have OpenEdge 11.7 on this server; I accidentally copied OpenEdge 10.2B libraries onto our 11.7 server. I think that's why we got that message. So! Now we've reinstalled OpenEdge 11.7 on our server. We have the following libraries extracted...

/usr/dlc/src/adecomm.pl has an incorrect version (found 7 should be 11). (1945) We're converting from 10.2B to 11.7.5. Is this why we're getting this error? Maybe we have the 10.2B libraries?

Okay, here's what I tried: cd /usr/dlc/src rm -r adecomm ./extractpl adecomm.pl I got the following error: Invalid option -extract for memory-mapped library adecomm.pl. (8949)

According to this article, OpenEdge Service Pack 11.7.5 was considered "Mature" as of March 2019. However, I found a product alert from June 20, 2019 announcing 11.7.5's availability. Does this mean 11.7.5 was actually released after March? Should we consider it "Active" or "Mature?"

Our auditing tables take up almost 10GB, twice as large as the rest of our databases. I want to figure out where all this data is coming from. Is there a way to find out how much space it takes to store auditing information for tables and their fields? For example, if I audit twenty tables, can...

What if I'm using a dynamic browse (see below). How do I apply an event to a dynamic widget? CREATE BUFFER hBufferTemp FOR TABLE "TT_ROUTRSUB_TEMP". CREATE QUERY hQUERY2. hQUERY2:SET-BUFFERS(hBufferTemp). hQUERY2:QUERY-PREPARE("FOR EACH " + hBufferTemp:TABLE + " exclusive-lock")...

I have an editable column called "SUB NUM." Let's say I select a row like this: How do I enter the current row's "SUB NUM" field to edit it, like this, without using the mouse?:

In our most recent programs, we have handled exclusive locks ourselves. However, we have thousands of legacy programs that don't. If a user selects "CANCEL," the programs might do things we don't expect. If Progress could log this without requiring code changes, it could help us debug and...

OpenEdge Release: 10.2B07 When two users try to access the same record using EXCLUSIVE-LOCK, the second user gets the following popup message: <file-name> in use by <user> on <tty>. Wait or choose CANCEL to stop. (2624) Is there some way we can log when a user chooses CANCEL? Can we do this...

Oh, now I understand! In your examples, I assumed that "/* whatever... */" was a placeholder for something useful. Thanks!

Thanks for your help, Tom. Why would these blocks of code consume the entire CPU? Does invoking ETIME in a loop conditional force other processes to wait until the loop ends?

Okay, I know I'll look foolish for asking, but why is this dangerous? These blocks of code seem designed to do something for a certain amount of time ("something"). It's not a straightforward solution, but I don't see what's wrong with it. It may be a dumb question, but hey, that's how you learn. ;)

Thanks, everyone. I agree that managing order numbers with a sequence is better than using a table.
