Progress 10.1A Workgroup Edition - Need to monitor extent space usage

Running Progress OpenEdge 10.1A SP2 on a Windows server using the workgroup license.

I need to monitor the extent space usage to ensure I have allocated enough space properly as the database grows over the days/months/years. Because I'm using workgroup license, I have a 2gb file limit which stops the database when that occurs so I need to monitor my extents and add more when I approach this limit. Is there a progress command or such that I could use to check this?
 
i am not sure about licenses, but 10.1b+ is 64bit progress and there are no resctrction on segment size (2+gb for db and bi files too) if -enablelargefiles turned on.
 
One of the differences between the Enterprise and Workgroup database license is that the Workgroup license does not support large files. This is enforced up to the point that, when you enable large files on a database you can't access or start a database server against it with the Workgroup license.

There are several options available to track the size of the files:

  • OE Management: This is a separate product for which you need to buy a license and contains much more functionality than just keep an eye on the database file sizes and their utilization.
  • The virtual system tables in the Database: For that you need to write an ABL procedure which runs in the background.
  • OS shell scripts: For that you also need to roll your own.
