Hi,
We have a DR test with Progress applications. The same method is used every year: the entire file content of /progress directory is copied from the production server to the DR server. So far the test has been successful, but now we have the following issue.
Though the Progress db can be started and the application is working fine, we have out of date data in each database, exactly the data of the last DR test. In principle, all files were overwritten on the DR server, so the base directory should have been updated as well with the latest production data. One more thing: before the files were copied to the DR server, a clean-up didn't happen on the server, so old files remained there from the last DR.
Is there any scenario which can explain how the old db content can remain, if all files are overwritten with the production data?
Thanks,
Peter
