This is the second time I've been asked to investigate the use of Subversion as a source code control tool instead of Roundtable. Roundtable has been quite happily deployed at my previous client and runs pretty happily here too. The number of development seats is growing however, and the...

Tom, I've heard of ProTop before, but never got round to investigating it. I worked with Rich and set up the barebones of a monitoring system that used RRDTool to capture the data. Graphing is then incredibly easy - as long as you collect the right data. Duncan

Don't fix what aint broke Rich, Knowing a BIT about the system, I can say you should tell the Linux Fraud to keep his hands off the configuration. Sure, they run Linux, but he clearly knows next to nothing about Progress. There IS actually an issue with BI information on the server. It's...

By Aggregated indexes, do you mean the use of multiple indexes? If so, Progress can select more than one index to use on a search if there are indexes that usefully match the search criterea. Can't remember where the rules for these are unfortunately, but the use of multiple indexes IS...

Just for a laugh I drummed up a screenshot containing 48 slider widgetsfor a customer. They actually loved the screen and demanded it beimplemented in the next release. The sliders are used to control maximum numbers of jobs for each hourduring weekdays and weekends. The end result looks like...

We run a 4-way Alpha Tru64 machine with 8Gb RAM. This is tuned to use the maximum -B possible to provide a 2Gb buffer to the main database. We do use several APW, AIW & BIW's to eliminate disk bottlenecks as much as possible. You need Enterprise license to run these. You also need...

jongpau: The thought of doing a schema update without first having a full and verified backup of the database wouldn't even enter my mind. The schema update is a one way operation. It either works, or you restore the backup and it works the next time or the next time or the next time . . ...

A schema update to our current test database is currently blowing the BI file when we try to apply it. We've split the .df file and added more BI extents. However, the BI still spits the dummy around 7 hours into the processing of the big new index. Reducing the time to apply the update...

Progress Explorer does also allow you to monitor your Appservers (and a bit more under OpenEdge). You can view the current activity on your appservers, and add or remove appservers as appropriate. You can also tune any of the database parameters without bringing the database down. OK -...

Has anybody found the 10.0B index rebuild to be ANY faster than the 9.1D version? I've just dumped and reloaded a 70Gb database and the index builds took exactly the same time. I know that mileage may vary, but the boasts have previously been of "up to" 10 times faster and that they...

We are looking to do some benchmarking on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 AS using Progress 9.107. We'll be throwing a heavy batch processing load at the databases to show how much quicker the Intel platform will be over the current Tru64 systems. Does this match what you have been using at all...

We use `dirname $0` to get the directory of the script under Tru64. Which shell are you using, as this could differ between shells. Our scripts run as /bin/ksh from cron entries. Duncan

Hi folks, Does anyone know a way to get "accurate" OSRds information during an online backup? OS = Tru64 Progress = 9.1D07 blocksize = 8192 -B = 262144 (2Gb RAM buffer) During the online backups, we are showing a huge increase in OSRds without any increase in user activity. Here's an...

Migration synchronisation We recently migrated from a Progress 7 database on a VMS platform to a brand spanking new Progress 9 database on a Tru64 Unix platform. During this period we had to ensure data entered into the old system was then sync'd to the new database. This was done by...

Thanks, We have had problems getting WINE to work under RedHat 8.0 so far and there's no possibility of switching to another distro unfortunately.

Has anybody here managed to get the Progress GUI running under Linux with WINE? I have a potential requirement to move an entire application to open source platforms (not just the database servers). It seemed sensible to me to just run the current desktop under Linux/Gnome/WINE if at all...

Fathom? Not to do a sales pitch on Progress' behalf, but doesn't the Fathom Management tool include this along with a multitude of other performance monitoring alerts? It doesn't come free though, but it is a supported product with defined results rather than home written code :eek...

Machine performance Norman, I would investigate the overall performance of the system. From memory, there are loads of databases/applications running on these boxes? If that is correct, check the paging activity of the OS. I've had problems recently with an 8Gb RAM machine and setting...

Today I checked a database at a client that has been running happily for around 4 years. It is averaging just over 4 checkpoints per MINUTE during it's 20 hour uptime each day. Two things - (1) is this a record? (2) how the hell do I reduce it since the client already has APW's and...

Hi everyone, Can anyone point me in the right direction to sort out this problem. I am currently using rectangles to draw a bar chart representing the various orders to be fulfilled from a specific production run. So a specific production run is a rectangle running vertically on the...
