Thanks, RealHeavyDude. Sorry I have not replied before, but I got distracted by other matters considered more important by management. We have only got to keep Progress 91D goung for another 5 months, when it will be replaced by an SQL Server system. We've actually rejigged things so we now only...

We currently use Openlink V5.1 to connect Cognos (Windows) to Progress 9.1D (Unix Tru-64 V 5.1B). This works fine for the normal 2 databases we want to connect to. We have been able to connect to 4 databases at various times, but now need to connect to 6. I understand that 5 is the normal limit...

I agree with everything you say, but.... A bit more background. Having purchased, with an outlay of many thousands of Pounds (Dollars), an untried, untested and unseen (by us) system which included a payroll module which turned out to not meet our Company's requirements requirements, our HR...

Tom, Thanks for that. It gives us some useful questions to ask of the suppliers when we next speak to them. As for Progress 9.1E, the conversation would have gone something like this: Me: What's it written in? Senior management: Progress 9.1E Me: You realise that version will not be...

Thanks, Tamahs. The reason we are installing an old version of Progress is because the supplier of our HR system (written in MS SQL) could not cope with our requirements for a payroll system, so introdcued us to one of their business partners, who tell us their system is in Progress 9.1E. The...

Has anyone any exprience of running a Windows version of Progress 9.1E on the same server as MS SQL Server 2005? Are their any issues to consider? Our current HR system runs under MS SQL and a proposed new Payroll system is written in Progress (9.1E we are told) and there is a requirement for...

Ron, Thanks for that. My problem was finally solved by some judicious reworking of our backup scripts by HP. There turned out to be a syntax error on one line which we had all missed (the script calls an 'expect' routine which no-one here knew anything about). However I will bear your comments...

Progress v9.1D07 on Tru-64 V5.1B on HP/Compaq GS80/ES40 Cluster We have a multi tape unattended probkup which is controlled by Unix scripting from cron. Recently we have observed that the second tape is not loading correctly and consequently the backup is failing. The scripts have been/are...

Thanks for that. We have now been able to try this in our test environment and it does the job. We never set up the start up parameters for our system and we have tended to follow the maxim if it ain't broke don't fix it! - so some of these are a bit of a mystery. John.

Compiling code in the Procedure Editor (v9.1C): program1.p calls program2.p. You make changes to program2.p and save it. When you run program1.p again it does not pick up the changes (old compiled version of program2.p still in memory, right?). Is there a way round this? A colleague thinks he...

We now think we have cracked this problem. My particular loggon had the profiler activated. When this was turned off the rpf files stopped being created. Not sure why the profiler was running - I did not start it up. We still have to keep an eye on the temporary directory as a lot of old...

I don't think debugger segments and the like are much to do with it, but I am checking against the advice in the kbase. I tried a simple loop, with no reads/writes on the database: repeat: display string(time,"hh:mm:ss") with frame a. pause 1. end. This created an rpf...

Does anyone know what the rpf files created in the temporary files directory are? They have names of the form rpfnnnnnn, where nnnnnn appears to be the PID. These files can get very large. We have had one upto 4.3Gb which nearly ran us out of disk space. Once created they do not seem to be...

We are running Progress 9.1B on a Compaq GS80 with Tru64 Unix 5.1. We have ported our third-party Database over to this and find we are having horrendous performance problems with more than 70 users logged on. Compaq, Progress and the third party supplier are mystified at the moment. Has any one...
