Does anyone have any experience with DTR-TMM interfacing with Progress 8.2C on a DEC Tru64 platform? I'm looking to interpret the data and possibly extract it to Oracle. I have looked in the data dictionary and the schema, but I'm not able to make sense of this and our vendor is not even...

It seems that the filesize is at the limit. So that means it's irrecoverable? -rwxrwx--- 1 root system 2147483648 Apr 15 13:07 tmm10.d15 Also, an error that I get when I tried to start the database earlier is: There is no server for database <filename>. (1423) ** The server terminated...

No, it is DEC OSF1 Tru64

Greetings! One of my databases has run out of space and I am trying to add an extent. This is my .lg before the crash: ... 13:07:36 Usr 29: bkioWrite: lseek error 22 on file 24 at -2147483648, file /p_dtr/p_dbs/tmm10.d15. (6081) 13:07:36 Usr 29: bkioWrite:Insufficient disk space...

Thanks everyone for your recommendations. Unfortunately, I have limited resources (ridiculous, I know) at the moment, and hope to eventually replace my backup scheme with something more solid. As a follow-up, I have come up with a script with functionality for both online and offline backups...

I was the only root user, and it wasn't me. I'm going with your conjecture. Thanks for the insight here. Can you tell I'm new at this? I would if the server had USB ports, but it's a DEC Alpha 4000.

The file exists, and from what I see in the backup scripts, there is no command which deletes this file. I am not sure if there is a reason why Progress is telling me it's missing... root:/ => ls -salF /p_dtr/p_dbs/tmm10.lk 1 -r--r--r-- 1 root system 38 Oct 26 01:08...

I found syntax for probkup in the 8.3C documentation. I want to do an online backup, but I'm concerned with using vdump (I'm on OSF1 V4.0 1229 alpha) and probkup to write to the tape drive. I don't have a lot of diskspace to spare, and it looks like I have quite a large amount of data. I need to...

I have inherited this system, so I do not know of a specific reason to do an offline backup. I have heard of online backups, but am not sure how to implement it. We don't have any documentation on this version of Progress, but I do have documentation for 8.3C... I don't know what had changed...

This is the contents of the backup script: #!/bin/ksh TERM="vt100-80" export TERM # Global Environment Settings PATH=$HOME:/:/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/progress/startup: export PATH ENV EDITOR FCEDIT PS1 # Set Progress Variables DLC=/progress/dlc PROMSGS=/progress/dlc/promsgs...

I'll post the script, but here is a log from tmm10.lg Tue Oct 26 00:30:19 2010 00:30:19 BROKER 0: Multi-user session begin. (333) 00:30:29 BROKER 1: Started for tmm10 using TCP, pid 8013. (5644) 00:30:29 BROKER 1: The port 10015 is already in use. (785) 00:30:29 BROKER 1: Begin normal...

I have an offline backup script that runs at night, and for the past few days only, Progress has failed to start up normally after files have been copied to a backup folder. When I am notified, I am able to log into the system and then do a /progress/startup/start-all-cui which brings the system...

Do you mean that 8.2C also uses SQL89? For a binary dump, I was considering: proutil <dbname> -C dump. Would this not preserve the data? All the databases total to about 18 GB. I have sought contractors for this, including the original software developer, but am atttempting to minimize costs...

I tested this on the test database "sports" included in progress, and I still don't have access to the admin menu, even though root:system owns those files.
