Basically I touched my first PC 7 years ago, graduated 18 months ago and got a job in IT 12 months ago....since then I have worked on pretty much anything. We would no longer need to buy the licenses/support from the Progress application = cost saving. That software is only used by 1 dept now...

Thankyou the _dbutil fixed it. I won't concern myself with an upgrade. If I have my own way we will migrate to SQL anyway. Out of curiousity how many years progress experience have you guys got? Probably more than I do years alive....

I have no progress experience - unfortunately no one does at my work - it is an old application. I will try your script tonight - it basically cannot find the database in the directory c:\eureka\eureka 2007\db\....fingers crossed ill get it sorted soon. Random question not related to the...

i used php tags not the code ones- trying to do it too quickly - that explains the absence of "\" - i also don't know where the $ came from - its not in my script....anyway hopefully this is better stop proservice set DLC=c:\DLC set PATH=%PATH%;%DLC%\bin cd: c:\ call %DLC%\bin\pccmd...

I managed to backup manually - can someone check this does the same as the script - I know it does - just getting confused why it isn't working. I cd'd to the db directory and backed up from there. I also used the procontrol to shut down the service instead of using "proserve stop." as u can...

You don't want to know what version it is - from what i remember I think 8.3E To shutdown Proservice: set DLC=c:\DLC set PATH = %PATH;%DLC%\bin cd: c:\ call %DLC$\bin\pccmd proservice stop To Backup Databases (obviously - the 2nd command is failing) set DLC=c:\DLC set PATH = %PATH;%DLC%\bin...

when i try an online backup via proenv it states there is "no server" for the database in c:\.... is there a command to check the status of the database... when trying to backup I have always used the same script to shut the database down - it includes call %DLC$\bin\pccmd proservice stop.

hi I manually typed into cmd prompt the code to backup the db I am having trouble with and I am getting the error: " Unable to perform the backup at this time" So I CD'd into c:\eureka\eureka 2007\db and tried from there and I am recieving the error :"Database in use or multi user mode" Any...

still no luck with that...i will try cd'ing to the directory first.

still stated it could not find the path...

So the script should contain: set DLC=c:\DLC set PATH = %PATH;%DLC%\bin set ddir = "C:\EUREKA\Eureka 2007\db" set bdir = E:\ProgressBackups call %DLC%\bin\probkup %ddir%\eureka %bdir%\2007eureka%date:~6,4%-%date:~3,2%-%date:~0,2%.pbk -com >>c:\backups\backuptask\log.txt call...

There you go learnt something else new. Thanks - I won't be able to test for a week unfortunately but I will let you know. the 1st line has 143 characters but has been successful... Alex

Hi, it didn't make a difference. The 1st line still completes but the 2nd command fails. No message in the log either.

I have tried that unfortunately, I will try again though.

Hi - I have 3 scripts. 1 shutsdown proservice 1 backups 1 restarts proservice ... I have been backing up a database, now I am trying to backup another database which is more heavily used. I have edited the script with the 2nd command but it doesn't work...help is required - the backup...

edit- fixed the problem myself...thanks quick note - how do i restore a db?

i thought as much... Now how do I check if After Imaging is enabled, or how do I enable it if it is not currently enabled. What is before imaging? I can see a .bi file in my database directory should there be a .ai if after imagining was enabled.

Hi, Thanks to the support I got on this forum I was able to finally backup our progress database after years without a backup....1/2 luck and 1/2 thanks to progresses reliability. Anyway I was wondering if there is a way to create transaction logs (like SQL) but in Progress. I read something...

ah well....guess its going to be one of those trial and error things

I have been doing so. Do the "pccmd proservice..." simply stop and start ALL progress databases?
