    Proutil and truncating large BI

    Mike, my apologies. I missed the 'Test' directory out of my first line. I think I have found the problem. It is permissions related, and an unfortunate side-effect of some work carried out on the network last week. I have got it working on the Test system, and will be taking the production...

    Copying database using PROCOPY across multiple servers

    Hi All, I am new to Progress, having worked extensively on Oracle for the last few years, so I have a few questions. 1. I want to make a copy of our production database, named: LIVE, and place the working copy onto a different server and call it TEST. I understand that the PROCOPY utility will...
