I'm about to implement some sort of backup strategy myself this is very welcome advice. I do intend to use hard disk space, possibly to a network-mounted filesystem overnight. I hope I can be forgiven for appending a supplementary question to someone else's thread, but: what would the command...

Thanks! [root@tpn ~]# cat /app/openedge/version OpenEdge Release 10.1C04 as of Fri May 29 21:51:17 EDT 2009 [root@tpn ~]#

.. I guess it must be 10.1A or later, as I added an extent online (just read that that's only possible post-10.1A).

Thanks again for all the help. I added an extent last night as transcribed above, and the Nagios itch has been scratched. As for the particular version we're running, I don't know. I have a database administration course guide that is labelled Progress OpenEdge 10, but that could be out of...

Thanks. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I wasn't really asking about Nagios. I was really asking about the figure in the log file to which Nagios refers. This bit: [16/01/12 10:00:01 Area Status Check for DB: /db/production/production.db...

Very grateful for this advice from both - thanks. The Nagios error only cropped up this weekend, so I imagine the data area has been growing slowly but steadily for a while. It sounds from what you're saying as it's only going to be a problem when the filesystem starts to run out of space. This...

Heavy thanks. The .db file is production.db, and resides in /db/production. There's a file called production.st which looks like it might be the structure description? I'll transcribe it below. I tried "prostrct list" but it gave a "too few arguments" error. But I guess it wants a DB name or...

Hi there. I'm a Unix sysadmin and have recently taken over responsibilities for a number of boxes running Progress databases following the departure of a colleague. I have some notes on clearing out full extents, and I've been able to do that successfully. But apart from that, unfortunately I...
