System hangs while loading scheme

[mjdarm]

We are trying to install QAD eB2.1 on a windows 2003 server SP2.
While trying to create a empty progress database and load the scheme, it hangs at the end.
There is enough hard disk space and RAM is also sufficient.

Any idea on why the system hangs?

What specific commands have you run?

What version of Progress are you running?

What does the Progress .lg file say is happening?

How long has it been "hung"?

What does perfmon show is happening?

What sort of disks are you using?

How much disk space and RAM is "sufficient"?

What specific commands have you run?
No commands. I starte the guided mfgpro setup and while loading schema it hangs.

What version of Progress are you running?
Openedge 10.0b

How long has it been "hung"?
More than 20-15 minutes and it starts to say "Not Responding".

What does perfmon show is happening?
CPU performance says "98 - 99 %"

What sort of disks are you using?
Not clear? Its a regular server class.

How much disk space and RAM is "sufficient"?
It has around 45Gb free hard disk in that partition and RAM is 3GB.

You might try asking qad what is wrong.

What version of Progress are you running?
Openedge 10.0b

You are aware that the current release of Progress is 10.1C? 10.0B is circa 2004...

How long has it been "hung"?
More than 20-15 minutes and it starts to say "Not Responding".

Hmmm...

What does perfmon show is happening?
CPU performance says "98 - 99 %"

Perfmon can tell you a lot more than %cpu. Is there just one process using that cpu? What specific process is it? Are disk or network resources being consumed? If disks which ones are getting the most IO ops? Etc...

What sort of disks are you using?
Not clear? Its a regular server class.

What is "server class"?

Is RAID involved? Especially is RAID5 involved? (That would be a bad thing.) Is there more than one disk? (I'm not interested in drive letters, I want to know about actual disk drives -- how many, what sort (SCSI, IDE, SATA, how fast (RPM, random seek time)

How much disk space and RAM is "sufficient"?
It has around 45Gb free hard disk in that partition and RAM is 3GB.

Partitions are bad. Is this one big disk that has been carved up into multiple partitions?

Is it hanging or is the index rebuilding?

Sometimes when promoting schema changes involving indexes on large tables it takes a while to activate the larger unique indexes.
