Hi all,

-----move progress 8.3B from aix 4.3.1 to aix 5L

I moved the binaries and the db but when i try to start the db i get
SYSTEM ERROR: Unspecified shared memory error errno=1 (1180)

any ideas?

thanks in advance

You might want to consider upgrading.

Besides Tom's exhortation to upgrade (which is both valid and the best solution)....

If you just "moved" the binaries et al instead of doing a reinstall, you likely don't have a reliable/good/actual installation of Progress and are missing things. Why don't you try re-installing Progress to insure that everything that Progess needs to run is there and that the O/S and Progress play nice with each other?

Truncate the bi file and check the structure file to see if it is correct

i do not have any disks for the progress, but all the commands run successfully.

I've already tried truncating the bi but i am getting the same message.

the upgrade option is not for now due to cost.

Thanks

Having a system that doesn't work doesn't cost anything?
