    Bkiowrite:insufficient Disk Space During Write

    Is your storage by any chance attached via a network? We had lots of these problems on our previous setup (windows server with iscsi SAN). Despite the fact that the message talks about insufficient disk space, it may just indicate some kind of hickup in the network. Very frustrating, since it's...

    Question Dump and Load

    A course indication might be 'How long does your backup run?'. If that is taking an hour or more, you're in trouble.... When dumping and loading I got IT to loan me a VMWare instance with SSD storage. Dump time went down by a factor 20 (!!). I kept the database up-to-date on the VMWare instance...

    openedge security against tampering

    All good questions. The certification is ISO 15189, it's the first iteration of that norm in our country, and there's lots of vague phrases. For example: our management is now responsible for the correct display of data we send out on all systems 'directly connected' to our 'information system'...

    openedge security against tampering

    New certification demands for us contain a phrase 'information systems ... should be secured against tampering or loss' Well, the loss part is easy to describe, but the tampering part is somewhat harder. Is there an official OpenEdge document describing, for example, the use of CRC values in...

    Question How to upgrade Progress 10.0B05 to Progress 11.2.1?

    Perhaps it would be a good idea to take a course, or start some experiments, or invite a tutor over. At the moment, it looks like your business model approaches the 'put customer questions on the forum' model.

    Slow database

    Please note that you can always get the dbanalysis from a database on another machine, restored from your backup without any time constraints. This can be as simple as this, provided you've transferred the backup file(s) to the new machine already: - edit <insert database name here>.st to make...

    best direction to tweak my idxbuild parameters

    Hmm, VMWare marketing blurb here http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1013428 mentions How many virtual CPUs can I use on a Fault Tolerant virtual machine ? vCenter Server 4.x and vCenter Server 5.x support 1 virtual CPU per protected...

    best direction to tweak my idxbuild parameters

    Yes, I really have a single single-core cpu. This has something to do with VMWare, apparently a single-core VM can be protected against hardware failure on the VMWare server side - it moves along transparantly when the VMWare server crashes. That doesn't sound so bad (it certainly sounds better...

    best direction to tweak my idxbuild parameters

    I'm testing a dump/load for a move from windows (enterprise 10.1C) to linux (enterprise 10.2B07) The dump-part has been solved by our friendly system admins, who created a windows 2003 VMWare instance with SSD storage. Now the dump takes just an hour for 49 gigabytes. We have a downtime window...

    Windows 2010 Progress Backup

    The first question with respect to backups: Have you tested it? As far as I know, there is no alternative to probkup online since only probkup online looks at what Openedge does in memory as well as what is on the disk. If you only backup the disk, you miss out on anything in memory. You could...

    abnormal shutdown of appserver

    If interprocess communication breaks down, does the OS logs reveal anything (perhaps about processes being killed)?

    Where can I find recent documentation on OpenEdge and linux clustering?

    [heavy sarcasm] Aha. Perhaps I hadn't realized that the process of information collection really meant waiting for customers to bring the information to them. Sounds more like the process of information awaiting... [/heavy sarcasm] So what do I say to management? Well, linux clustering is...

    Where can I find recent documentation on OpenEdge and linux clustering?

    that text: Linux: There are no committed plans for Fathom/OpenEdge Clusters to support any Linux Cluster Manager in OpenEdge 10.x. As there are many different Linux Cluster Managers available, we are in the process of information collection from customers as to the specific version that...

    Where can I find recent documentation on OpenEdge and linux clustering?

    Since our windows (2003 server) cluster isn't really a satisfying experience, I'm thinking about updating to linux. Are there any recent documents about what clustering software and settings to use and what pitfalls to avoid? Searching this forum or the internet doesn't really help, and Progress...

    Getting Error ODBC 20101 driver]1205[DataDirect][ODBC 20101 driver]1221

    Other than pointing out you're posting this in the database administration forum (the ODBC forum is the one below that), I haven't the faintest, unfortunately. Still, the experts may well lurk in the other forum.....

    promon - GUI ??

    No idea - we're (still) running on 10.1C, so I've no experience with the .net module.

    promon - GUI ??

    You need to checkout Protop - which, IIRC, has a .NET GUI module.
