Is it possible to have progress explorer start a database located on a network share? I have not had success doing this but it does connect to a local db. The account does have full rights to the file share. Thanks.

I have a user who is constanty getting the warning: -D limit has been exceeded; automatically increasing to 150 (5410). This happens on Progress 10.1B when she has multiple windows of the application open. I have been unsuccessful finding a solution in the Progress KB, any thoughts? Thanks, Ann.

I am using Progress 10.1B03. Does the Watchdog process use a license so that I need to add another one for it when setting up my databases? Thanks, Ann.

Thanks Casper. I think I am saying extents instead of Storage Areas because there are storage areas in the .df file and that is what I am reaferring to. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks, Ann.

Thanks for the reply Tom. Here's a better explanation of what I need to do... Our customers have .df files with different orders then the .df I am delivering to them in the new version of our software. They also have .st files with only Schema Area but the new .st file I am delivering has...

I have an existing database with only a Schema Area and a new .st file I have added with several extents in it. Adding the .st file offline was successful and now my found.st has everything needed in it. However, how do I get the .df file to reflect the new extents and what tables I want in...

We have historically converted our customers' database from progress 9 to 10 using a conv910 batch file: @echo off rem conv910.bat rem This Batch file converts a Progress 9.x database to Progress 10.1. rem Input Parameters: rem 1. Path to 9.x dlc directory. rem 2. Path and name for...

Thank you so much, it just worked. The second time I tried to install it and it didn't work, it created a second install.ini file. So, I uninstalled Progress and ran the silent install and it ran great. Thank you so much for your help. Ann.

Yes, it minimizes and then closes. Here is the log file and at the end it says installation aborted. Now, I am trying this again from the same machine I installed it on but I was thinking if that were a problem the error would reflect that and it doesn't. Ann. [Installshield]...

I'm not sure what happened the first time, I have been using a lot of articles from the KB. However, I just tried recording the install via your instructions and it worked. I now have an install.ini file. Can you tell me what the command is to run the silent install from that install.ini? I...

Hello. I need to create an automated installation for my customers. I have been attempting to run a silent installation. I was successful in recording the install and have a .ini file as well as an .iss file. However, no matter the syntax I try, it doesn't work. I get the installation to...

I've reread, tried, and tested this and am all set with it now. Thanks for the input. ann.

Several of our customers use Crystal Reports with our software and Progress 10.1B. We have run into an issue with some of them that the _sqlsrv2.exe processes are not "let go" when they are done with their crystal report so eventually, no one has a successful ODBC connection. One of my...

Gee, thanks Tom, especially for the "vague" comment. Our customers already have progress and our software...this is an upgrade. There has never been a DBA position here before and the programmers never used AI extents. I didn't even know about them until the class so I am bringing us up to...

Hello. Our software is created with Progress and currently we are rolling out Progress 10.1B. In the past, we have not used AI extents but after taking the DBA class, I have restructured our database so that we are doing many new things, including using AI. I had it turned on when I loaded...
