We are about to do this upgrade. Is any one aware of any upgrade issues we should look for? Will we just be able to build the structure in the new version and do a prorest from the old version? thanks bill

You didn't mention what O/S or Progress version? I don't know that it makes a difference though. Now, the 837 error is interesting. In the Knowledge base, it is associated with corruption in the Before Image and\or After Image files. In your case, it seems to be a problem with the...

Has this ever worked?

Is there a way to do a binary D&L of the _user file? We are making a reporting DB with just a few tables and need _user for security. The documentation only has instructions for using the Data Administrator, which I get to through Prowin 32 When I try to do dump it with proutil, I get...

I don't know the upgrade path, but if it call for a D&L you may be out of luck. The only thing I can think of is do run the 9.1B install again, being sure that all Progress DB's and services are stopped. Maybe a DLL was in use at the time and didn't get replaced? my $.02 Please be...

Norm, I'm the DBA that works with DKR. Did you mean an incremental .D file? I ask because I don't see how the definition would change, or is the index part of that? That would be interesting if we could selectively produce incremental .D files of the 30 or so tables we use...

Hi Norm, Thanks for your response! I'm fairly certain that the warm spare is "virginal", as I am the only one who does anything with it. I gave some thought trying to remember if I had done anything to it yesterday when it happened, but fairly certain that I had not. In fact, in times...

Hi Rehan, Thanks for the idea of using the Retry option. I tried that today when I had an apply fail but it didn't work. Here are some additional related messages that I have found when it happened today: PROGRESS PATCH Version 9.0B44 as of October 31, 2000 ** The database was last...

I have found recently that I can restore a backup from DB-A to DB-B and DB-B will start fine. But, if I apply the AI's from DB-A to DB-B and then try to start DB-B, I get an "access violation". Any thoughts on why this is occuring? This doesn't give me a warm fuzzy about our warm spare...

We are using after-image extents to keep a warm-spare. Long story short, every 20 minutes the current AI extent is closed and copied to the alternate server. The process works 99% of the time. The other 1% I get this: ******************************************** 15:10:06 rfutil -C roll...

In chapter 19 of Dan Foreman's Progress Performance Tuning Guide he talks about looking at the Scatter Factor to determine if you should do a dump and load. He lists his "personal standard" of Scatter Factor range (1-4+) for large tables. What is considered a large table? We're using...

Thanks, Norm! Very informative. Oh....I think we'll be keeping it UNbuffered. :rolleyes:

I'm new at this myself so I'm just thinking out loud. Presumably with the time lapse you've resolved this?(if so, how?) This is just an off the cuff idea without really knowing anything about your system or business practices. The only thing I could think of is possibly creating another...

I found this message in the db log "After-image enabled UNBUFFERED. (845)" Looking through the online doc, I could only find how to change this to BUFFERED using the CHANGE qualifier. I cannot find any detailed information on what this is, and the benefits of being Buffered or...
