When I run Progress Developer Studio without admin privileges, I get the following message: "Unable to locate installation information for OpenEdge version: 12.8" I don’t have that issue when running as an admin. Any idea why this is happening?

We have thousands of programs, and I'm trying to analyze how they interact and what data they affect. I've tried to analyze our classes using COMPILE XREF, and I noticed that private methods don't show up in the XREF file. Example: testing_util.cls: USING Progress.Lang.*. BLOCK-LEVEL ON ERROR...

We use "require-full-names" and "require-field-qualifiers" when we compile code. Is it possible to check for full names and field qualifiers before compiling - perhaps when we choose "Check Syntax" in the editor?

Is it possible to query LDAP through an OpenEdge program? I found code like this: USING System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.*. DEFINE VARIABLE objContext AS CLASS PrincipalContext. objContext = NEW PrincipalContext(ContextType:Domain,"YourDomain"). MESSAGE...

I added an inactive index (DATE-PART-LINE) online for a table (INVHIST). I then compiled programs that used INVHIST but didn't reference DATE-PART-LINE. When I ran those compiled programs, I received the following error: Index 'DATE-PART-LINE' of table 'INVHIST' is not active. (16488) Why...

I have two programs: test.p FIND item WHERE item.part-num = "4M5" AND item.cto-code = "" EXCLUSIVE-LOCK NO-ERROR. RUN test2. PAUSE. test2.p FIND sysmstr WHERE coname = "NEXTWO" EXCLUSIVE-LOCK NO-ERROR. When test.p pauses, both ITEM and SYSMSTR tables are locked. Why is...

I have two classes: maze_util and point_util (see below). A maze_util contains a temp table (tt) of point_util instances stored as Progress.Lang.Object. In maze_util:getTestValue, I want to find a tt record by looking up the x and y values of the tt's point. I tried to do this by CASTing...

How do you change the Data Dictionary display from the first mode to the second (see pictures)? I think you have to use a startup parameter, but I can't remember what it is.

According to this article, it's not possible to change a field's extent once you commit a database. Is this still true in 11.7.3?

We ran the following on Sunday, March 8, at 3 AM: proutil /users/mf/live/db/mffg1 -C auditarchive -directory /users/mf/live/db/audit_archive/ The log shows the following: OpenEdge Release 11.7.5 as of Fri Jun 7 08:29:03 EDT 2019 Archive all the records prior to 2020/03/08@03:00:01.530-0500...

OpenEdge documentation recommends archiving auditing data separately from production databases. I'd like to get some clarification on the reasons why. (Context: Our production databases are 4.8 GB, and our archive database is 10 GB. We are not legally bound to use auditing; for us, it serves as...

The OpenEdge documentation says the following: However, it seems like PROUTIL AUDITARCHIVE doesn't give you the choice to overwrite the existing audit archive (abd). In my cronjob script, I ran the following: yes | proutil /users/mf/live/db/mffg1 -C auditarchive -directory...

Is it true that changing the description of a table or field is not allowed while its database is in multi-user mode? If so, I'd like to understand why. If users can change the format of existing fields online, then why can't they change descriptions?

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...
