People still go to the knowledge base site to search? I know of a former Tech Support Engineer (that shall remain nameless) that even when he/she worked for TS did all her/his searches via Google as the Google Site search was better than the internal search on the Knowledge base. Just search...

Side note (and I understand the value of ProKB being downloadable): You can search Google for the public Knowledgebase entries. Using the "site:knowledgebase.progress.com" (without quotes) and your query will search just the knowledgebase. Doing it this way gives you the full power of Google...

Great to hear! Will see you there!

Do you mean the Icon it starts from? I don't know of a way of changing it on install but have a look at this page for a script to change it: How Can I Change the Icon for an Existing Shortcut? HTH

As someone working in Techsupport for a very long time, this statement is partially right. You should test your backup strategy whether using OS or Probkup. I've had enough production systems down where an untested backup strategy means the situation was a lot worse then it could of been if the...

Hey Mate, Don't quote me on this but I think it's hardcoded in the source code that the JSPWORK folder will be in the install directory. You might be fighting a losing battle. Of course, I might miss read it. Molly

Haven't done it myself and haven't throughly looked through how they do it, but wonder if you can do it via .Net (if on windows): .NET Quickstart Oh course there could be gotchas (generic methods for one aren't supported and so if they use that it can be hard to do). Just a thought.

No worries. Wouldn't say simple! Sometimes finding the right root cert to install can be a pain in the you know where! Or at least I find it so. People with a better understanding of it might find it a doddle!

Hi Cecil, I think the cert you need is here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2842146 And command to add this one is: certutil -format DER -import bc2025.crt HTH Molly

I assume it was removed as not necessary when Enum support was added to the product in 11.6. Not sure if this helps or not.

Silly question, did you try deleting/renaming the file mentioned as the lock file and retrying?

One thing to add, after years involved in support, is that to have the most reliable backup, whether you choose online or offline, test the backup out and make sure you can restore the backup. I know it sounds like the old, school level talk about disaster recovery but you would be surprised by...

(I probably shouldn't bite but when has this stopped me in my life before). There are plenty of computing platforms that are very popular (Mac, xBox, PlayStation, etc, etc, etc,) that have thousands/millions of sold units but I am not sure they would make good platforms for OpenEdge installs. I...

Is the URL for the WSA in Mangement/Explorer the same one you have installed it in? If not change it and restart the adminserver. If you had already changed it but not restarted the adminserver, then restart that. Hope this helps. Molly PS. Pacific (Progress) AppServer is also a good option (in...

Hmmm... Don't think that User Defined Functions can have optional parameters! Depending on the version you are using, could you use methods of a class with multiple signatures/overloads? Something like this (Note: Example is a trivial one to prove the point)...
