    Yet Another Licensing Question

    We are currently on OE10.2B (Windows 10 compliant) and are a small shop and will be working on things other than the Progress application this year. So no new development in Progress, BUT we still need to maintain the source code and sell to new customers. I am currently subscribed to "OEDK...

    Windows 7 PC As a Database Server?

    Here's my go at it. Comments, corrections, etc. all welcome. 1. In general, servers, including their hardware and systems are designed to be more robust and reliable and scalable. (i.e More disk storage, faster disk access, and built-in redundancy.) 2. The PC must have a static IP address...

    Windows 7 PC As a Database Server?

    Reasons NOT to run a Windows 7 PC as a Database server? How about a change in the direction of this thread? Our app is pretty simple really. Installations are typically 1-5 users, it is not a real transaction intensive application or a 24/7 database, we deploy with the Workgroup database and...

    Windows 7 PC As a Database Server?

    We have, and we did/do. But I was really wondering if it is a supported configuration too. We are telling them that we won't do it. Thanks for the input guys.

    Windows 7 PC As a Database Server?

    Thanks Tom. 10.1C, yes yes yes... OE 11 is in-house but needs to be installed and tested. So how about: Pitfalls and gotchas? I assume I'll need to "Allow" prowin32 through Windows Firewall? Do I need to specify the db port ranges too? Do anything with the UAC? Is there any sort of checklist...

    Windows 7 PC As a Database Server?

    We've got a customer with an outdated Windows 2003 server on its last legs and they would like to install our 10.1C application database on a 64 bit Windows 7 Professional PC. It's got plenty of disk space, CPU and RAM. Also, they are currently running C/S but are going to upgrade to our...

    Database login failed with Crystal 2011 .NET and web application

    We run OE 10.1C and Crystal 11 ActiveX using an XML data source for our reports. With that said, I'm not sure if this applies in your case or not, but we will receive that error if the database schema has changed and the Crystal Report has not been updated. Something else to check, at least...

    Error when creating Db through Data Admin

    RE: Rob's post above - I've always used a "%dlc%\" before the name of the empty database in the proenv command window. i.e. proenv> prodb aes_db %dlc%\empty ------------ edit correction ---------- Actually, it looks like it works fine with "prodb". I always use "procopy" to copy the empty...

    largefiles database enabled

    BTW, you need to run those "proutil" commands from a Proenv window, not just a normal command prompt.

    Is using define temp-table with a like option bad coding standards?

    My 2 cents: Whether or not it's best practice, we use "Define LIKE" all the time. Our app is designed to run either Single User, Client/Server or with the Appserver. A few years back, we opted to go with an ADM2 front end to simplify the UI development, and to do that, we define our client side...

    Is it possible to ignore indexes when defining temp table like db table?

    If I recall correctly, when you define your TT LIKE it will inherit the indexes from the database. BUT - if you specify your own index, any of the database indexes you want must be now be specified to be included as part of the temp-table definition. So you may want to check your TT and see if...

    Activex Controls and Openedge

    You've probably already done all this, but you may want to check if the ActiveX has any updates for the newer versions of Windows. Maybe it's a change in your OS that is causing the problems? Also, try re-adding the ActiveX to the OpenEdge frame in question. We haven't had any problems moving...

    What is the best practice to close procedure and corresponding gui?

    This maybe goes without saying, but make sure you're running the code you think you are running. If you're clicking the red X to close the window, then the "Window-Close" trigger is being run. If you're clicking on an "Exit" or "Done" button you've added, then you're running THAT trigger code...
