This page was added to our Community based on what is currently available at the EMEA PUG website . Track 1: OpenEdge and DBA Track 2: Programming & Architecture Track 3: Progress Software Sessions Track 4: Tools & Related Products Track 5: Mobile related sessions Track 6: Commericial Track 7: Birds of a Feather OpenEdge and DBA The Birth, Life, and Death of a Database Record Speaker: Dan Foreman - Bravepoint This session will follow the 'life' of a record from initial creation, though reading & updates, and eventual deletion. The discussion will include the environment that record CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) activities take place in and the different resources that are impacted: disk, memory, latches, semaphores, record locks, blocks, etc. We will also touch on the aspects of a record's life that directly and indirectly impact performance. This may sound like a mega-geek presentation, and it is, however there are many practical aspects to this information that have a direct impact on DBAs as well as developers. (Please visit the site to view this file) TEMP-TABLE Monitoring & Performance Tuning Speaker: Dan Foreman - Bravepoint TEMP-TABLEs are typically one of the crucial components in a Progress application. But for many years it was difficult, if not impossible, to capture useful information about TEMP-TABLE activity and behavior. This presentation discusses the options that are available for monitoring and tuning TEMP-TABLEs in all versions of Progress. Especially exciting are the new parameters and keywords that were added in V11.0.

While this was presented at the PUG Challenge EMEA in 2013, the use-cases in this session have been updated with different problems and different solutions. The topic will include descriptions of the problems, how the problems were approached, and the final solution to the problems. Some of the problems are common, others are not so common. Having the problem solving approach and the tools from the OpenEdge product suite will allow you to overcome similar obstacles in your environment. Download Presentation Auditing - A Case Study Speaker: Mike Furgal - Bravepoint The auditing requirements imposed by governmental regulations has increased many fold in the last few years. Progress implemented Auditing functionality in OpenEdge 10.1A. This session covers a live case study of how to effectively implement auditing. Download Presentation Before-Images, Checkpoints, Crashes Speaker: Gus Björklund - Parmington Foundation In this talk we examine the "before-image file", what it's for, how it works, and how you can configure it properly. You might get answers to questions that have been troubling people for over 25 * 10-2 centuries Download Presentation Recovery Log Notes Speaker: Gus Björklund - Parmington Foundation In this talk we will open the bonnet on the topic of After-Image Journaling and Recovery Log Records (aka "Notes"). We will describe what they are, what they do, and how to monitor them. But most importantly, we will show you some practical applications of your newfound understanding of Notes. Download Presentation How to performance tune to 95% with 5% of the effort Speaker: Adam Backman - White Star Software This presentation will cover the basics you need to setup most OpenEdge systems for reasonable performance with a little advanced planning and some very basic setup hints. Buying the right disks and setting them up properly will help you more than buying the latest and greatest CPU technology. No system is able to be set once and never looked at again but these tips will reduce your need to tune and provide the best available performance for your users. This session will be best suited for people who are new to OpenEdge and existing OpenEdge users with limited system or database administration skills. For old hands, you should know this but it may be fun to come along for the ride as you just might learn something. Download Presentation Creating a complete recovery solution Speaker: Adam Backman - White Star Software This session will cover how to create a good recovery plan, replication (hardware and OpenEdge), location of backups and recovery plans, archiving and keeping your recovery plan up-to-date. There will be something for all levels of experience. Novice users will learn what is needed to recover your application in the event of failure. More advanced users will learn how to determine the amount of coverage to build based on the "value" of your application. Best of all, you will be able to say you went to a talk on backup and recovery and only slept a little. Download Presentation When DR is not Enough - Maintaining High Availability Speaker: Paul Koufalis - Progresswiz informatique, Gilles Querret - Riverside Software Based on real-life experiences, this session will discuss solutions to help maintain a highly-available application without needing to pull out the dreaded "DR Activation Procedure" binder. Download Presentation Adventures Monitoring Progress Databases with ProTop Speaker: Tom Bascom - White Star Software ProTop is a free, Open Source database monitor for Progress OpenEdge databases. ProTop sorts, filters and groups realtime VST data into insightful analysis screens that help to keep your database and application performance in tip top shape. This session will examine ProTop's "out of the box" capabilities.
