    Copying a Procedure Library

    Linux 7.4 -- OE 11.7.18 The system I work on has Linux servers with Progress DBs and (classic) AppServers on Windows that connect to the Linux servers. The exact-same program code set resides on both Linux and Windows, so when compiles occur on Linus the new compiled code-set is copied to the...

    Copying Changes from one DB to Another

    Linux RHEL -- OE 11.7.17 Hi, I have a set-up that is pretty common -- TEST, UAT and PROD servers. We have an application that has both a character UI and via AppServers also a GUI UI. When a change is implemented, it often involves a rather large number of menu changes in the character...

    Answered Question on xcoding

    11.7.17 on Red Hat Linux At present our Production system has xcoded source on it. I'm planning changing to have no source at all on Prod, but it will take a few months to get that done. In the meantime I'm learning about xcode. I have encountered it many times before but this is the first...

    crontab problem

    Hi. This is not a Progress question, but I am sure Progress DBAs would be able to throw light on this problem. It's a question about how crontab works in RH Linux. I have a job that archives and purges audit data. It is very process-intensive and it was set to run several small slices of...

    Question Changing triggers.

    11.7.4 on Linux Hi DBAs, I'm testing an addition to the system that uses write and delete triggers on a selection of tables. The triggers exist on a Linux server and four AppServers. I was hoping to be able to "switch-on" the triggers at an exact moment. I thought of a few different ways...

    Question Direct connect vs client/server.

    11.7.4 on Linux Hello DBAs, Over a long period working with Progress, systems I have worked on have used a very straight-forward "rule" -- local users connect via "direct connect" (ie via shared memory) -- and remote users use client/server connections. However, in the system I work with now...

    Question Type 1 Storage Areas.

    OE 11.7.4 on Linux. As per best advice -- I have always set-up Storage Areas as Type 2 -- and appreciate the various reasons why Type 1 Areas should never be used (except of course for Area 6). However .... the system I look after is a package and like nearly all cases of using packaged...

    Question Transactions and Record Scope.

    OE 11.7.4 on Linux. Although I've worked with Progress for a long time, I confess that my understanding of transactions and record scoping has many gaps. :confused: I have read (and re-read) presentations from Tom and Dan -- and I still have gaps. Here is a small test program: > cat...

    Question Copy replication trigger assignments.

    OE 11.7.4 on GNU/Linux. Hi DBA people! I have a test DB set-up and working that has a set of write and delete replication triggers. In all cases the path names to the trigger files are "relative" and will, therefore get resolved via the PROPATH to be in a directory that is associated with...

    Hello, ( OE 11.7.4 on Linux ) This is very much a newbie situation. I'm very familiar with Progress -- but very unfamiliar with SQL. I need to send records from an OE database to an SQL Server database over a LAN. We already have a number of external applications that access our OE...

    Encryption (TDE) Query

    Hi -- We use OE 11.7.4 on Linux (all chui). My company is considering employing encryption - so I'm boning-up on it and about to do a few performance tests. I'm told that if a self-serve client connects to an encrypted DB it is necessary to supply a passphrase. I can understand why -- but it...

    User details.

    Hi, If I have a long-running DB transaction I can get details like tty and PID. How can I match this with QAD details to identify the "real" user? The usercount.log has information - but I can't see how to connect it with details from OE. Can anyone help me? Ron.

    Question Which buffer size takes precedence?

    In a "managed" DB: If this is set: blocksindatabasebuffers=8888 ... in conmgr.properties. And then I set: -B 9999 ... in the pf file (pointed-to with otherargs=). Which one takes precedence? (I'd try it except that setting up a managed test DB is so much hassle.) Ron.
